A Day In The Trife: Billy Roper

I can’t say that I’ve seen many episodes of MTV Cribs but I do know that some skaters have appeared on the show. I think I’ve seen Koston’s and I also know that Rob Dyrdek has a sick pad. Unfortunately, showcasing those skaters gives the general public a skewed idea of an average skater’s lifestyle. Not to say it’s impossible to achieve what they have, but it definitely isn’t the norm.

That’s why I’m happy to see Vital Skate’s Day in the Trife with Billy Roper. This dude lives like most skaters I knew growing up but I think skaters had much lower standards back then. He isn’t quite pro yet so he doesn’t have the nice car, nice furniture, or even a packed fridge. Actually he doesn’t have any of that. He really has nothing except good friends and a skateboard.
