Kristian Svitak started Regulator distribution to distribute 1031 skateboards, Landshark Wheels, By The Sword Skateboards (vallely's company) Beer City Skateboards, and DRI records. What do you guys think about Not-Dead-Yet 1031 and regulator distribution?

Beer City used to have the best slicks ever... some sort of paint that was like a shell... it wouldn't peel off like the plastic shit, it would create a grain that just made it slide better and better.
I'm not too hip on Mike's graphic, but I like the fact that it's silkscreened. Gotta love sliding paint off your board.
Also, I like saying "ragga late."
-
they might find their audience but honestly that whole things sounds like a "who cares"
-
i give it less than a year.

1031 is probably pretty solid money wise, but by the sword... ehh half a year :(
-
Hope it works for them.
-
Good for Beer City. They've been around forever.
-
I'd support By The Sword over Shellfish anyday.
-
Does this mean Attardo will be getting a board again?

anything is better than when your graphics flakes off like the decks these days (see toy machine, girl...)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

mike v's got that hockey money to keep this company going.
-
and svitak has his real estate money, so they'll probably stick around.

I can say my 1031 was one of the best skateboards I have ever had, the tail and nose where both chipped and it still had pop. I 100% back Svitak and hope it goes well.
-
1031 should have a Dan Gilbert guest model.

theres alot in likemy area of the east coast, charm city has them and they are cheap
-
I rode a couple of 1031's that came into our shop a while back... I can vouch for the wood as well.
Either way, I like Mike and Kristian, so I hope they're successful. I couldn't imagine starting up a business of any kind in this economy... gotta give Mike some credit for leaving (what I guess is) a financially stable place to do something on his own.

I like the fact there’s more of the stained wood grain boards with a graphic in the middle so you don’t that Walmart board Effect where the graphic completely flakes off in the middle leaving just bare wood .

I've spent the last 15 years mixing up Kris Markovich and Kristian Svitak. Here's to another 15.

thwyrw selling a shit ton here in mexico too, nice wood and shape

I read it as "starts Regular Distribution" and pictured him distributing "regular stuff" like deodorant, crackers, dish detergent, etc.
I was more hyped on that...

I don't get why in this day and age you still need a "Distributor" business to take a share of your profits. Can't Beer City email retailers and ship Fedex themselves?

Cheaper to have one group of people representing 4 brands then each brand having their owns sales team.
I’m not sure how long folks like Awh and eastern are gonna last though

Economies of scale. Bulk order, lower purchase prices, vertically integrated logistics and warehousing, combined marketing funds to get better ad placement, lower touring costs, a network of representatives, accounting departments etc.
