Posers.
It's what we called kids in the 80's who would buy and carry around a high-end skateboard just to look cool but had no ability to ride it.
See, if they actually have zero intention of riding, that is a poser and I don't feel bad. If they are trying to learn, help them
No problem helping them if I ever saw them actually ride. Mostly it was standing around moving the board back and forth with their foot while talking, then kicking it up to carry on to their next destination as the actual riders rolled off.
Maybe their cheap Kmart deck was so heavy they couldn't really do anything with it but put some cool Powell Peralta wheels on it and some rad grip tape.
...or so I've heard...
