Skateshoes truely are the N°1 for skydiving. I've been skateboarding for a long long time now and the stepping stone theorie got me into skydiving. Like every boarder knows, skateshoes dont determine your skillz but they do have more durability due reinforcements and shit. I think most of the skydivers relate to a skateboarder cause they want to get as much time as they can get out of the gear. Because "air-time is money!" All speeding past collide and crashing, I'm in paradise.
