| I myself have nothing against the name. The only trouble is when you try and explain to your friends and family that Pornstorm has nothing to do with porn and has everything to do with fingerboarding.
For example...
Me: Awesome! My new Pornstorm Plaza from Blackriver just came in the mail today.
Mom: What did you say? You better not have ordered Porn!
Me: No Mom. This is for Fingerboarding.
Mom: Yeah right. I'm not falling for that one. I remember that one time I caught you when I saw your internet History.
Me: But that was a different kind of Pornstorm Mom. This other Pornstorm is different from that.

| Maybe Pornstorm is when its really raining hard outside and you don't want to go anywhere so you just start looking at porn.

| ^That. Pornstorm was an old school team of good mates. Porn was their version of 'awesome', so the called the team Pornstorm. The group disbanded after one of them was killed, then try decided to get back together a couple years back. Their video (The Prnstorm Video) is on Youtube; it's a pretty cool watch |

| Pornstörm was/is a crew.
Your mom must be hella stupid though, does she think that when you order a Baker skateboard you're going to get high? When you order an Apple iPhone you are actually buying fruit? When you order a Lovedrug deck you're on viagra? When you buy a Mars bar you are actually buying a planet?
The list goes on...
Company/product names shouldn't be taken so litterally. |

| Maybe...... There was an intense storm and it came as he was watching some adulterous movies and his Internet got taken out by the storm so he could only watch the same video over and over
Just a thought.. |
