Do looks matter for a pro skateboarder?

Tony Alva (Pro Skateboarder) gives expert video advice on: How do I go from an amateur skateboarder to being a pro-skateboarder?; How many skateboarders turn pro every year?; What kind of money can a pro-skateboarder make? and more...

Sometimes they matter a lot because it's a matter of being presentable, especially on camera, because there's so much media attention now when it comes to skateboarding. I think that you want to have a well-rounded image. I don't think that hair or the clothes you wear make that big of a difference, but the way you carry yourself and your attitude, whether you look comfortable in your own skin. You have to be comfortable with yourself. I think that that shows. It has a lot to do with confidence, and eventually maturity. Also your attitude towards life.
