Who cares where Blondey is from, some amazing skaters come from wealthy backgrounds. Now, how he plays up basically a Chav lifestyle is a joke, along with his persona. I mean, Cory and Wes both came from extremely wealthy backgrounds, it doesn't belittle their skill on a board. Mad respect to people who overcame difficult backgrounds like Steve or a lot of the EMB crew, but not having to overcome poverty shouldn't be a stick to beat down certain skaters with.
