Damn it, that didn't clear up much of anything in the old nature vs. nurture debate.
On the one hand you've got a young African American boy, clearly influenced by his white surroundings in taking up skate boarding (point, Nurture). On the other hand he just stepped right in and dominated the sport (skaters probably shaking in their boots right now the same way white baseball players did when they saw Jackie Robinson), and clearly displayed the showmanship qualities we've come to know and love from the majority of today's Afro-American athletes (point, Nature).
