Really is the best dvd ever. sucks that emerica is going downhill...bring back the old stuff!!!!

To say emerica is going downhill is stupid. Just stupid. They have probably the best shoe team, that is almost all people who have been emerica since day one, thats not a fuckin stupid super team like nike or dc. They don't do HD bullshit and they've supported dudes like leo, herman, westgate, and provost since day one pretty much. They are also synonymous with reynolds, heath, suski, senn, and templeton. Really the only pro they've added in the past 8+ years is hsu which is a good choice I would say. I would support any team that did that, plus heath is the team manager.

i don't feel like Emerica as a brand/team has "gone downhill", but I do think that Sole Tech as a whole has taken some big hits over the last or so years....they were by far, the #1 skate shoe brand out there.  Shit, I remember when all you saw was Reynolds 1's, MJ's and a couple of others Emerica shoes, EVERYWHERE...but a lot has happened since then.  Nike, Cons and Adidas all stepped into the skate shoe game and things changed real fast.  Emerica still has probably the best "team" on paper, but I feel like they just haven't marketed themselves the best lately.  I've always been a huge fan of Emerica and their shoes, so it sucks for me to even say I'm not sure what the last memorable Emerica ad I saw was, but I know I DO remember seeing a Malto Nike ad, where he's just sitting there, not skating.....and believe me, I hate saying that.

Really bummed they stopped making reynolds classics, those were my favorite shoes.  Except for the Hsu and Westgate's shoes everything seems way too thin now and I dont't want a high or mid top.
