In recent light of everything going on right now where do you stand on brands not to support?
They don't even have to be skate oriented. Here's my list of company's that won't get a red cent from me.
Walmart
Santa Cruz
Indy trucks
Oj
Plan B
Starbucks
Cracker Barrel
Chick Fil a
Exxon

if you want to start being really pedantic over it I guess you'd be boycotting everything under NHS so also creature, krux, ricta, bronson and mob. if were just going off the jason jessee thread i presume be spitfire and everything under DLX also.

what did plan b do and why is CONS not on this list?
and good heavens-- losing indy is enough why spitfire?!?!

Shit I forgot Nike and cons. And for Plan B if you look at my list most non skate companies are anti gay and I get that vibe from the top of that company.
-
Chic fil a? That shit is delicious though come on.
Also I'm boycotting cons and toy machine.

Okay, I can see why we would boycott Hook-Ups actually, I forgot how weirdly and blatantly misogynistic/homophobic that Jeremy Klein/his graphics are.

This thread is pointless unless you are all going to list reasons for each brand and maybe something to back that statement up as well. Anyhow, interesting times for me as a buyer for a shop that does large orders with DLX, NHS, and pretty much most brands listed above every month.....

What's your beef with Starbucks?

DGK - Great team, especially some of the newer kids, problematic marketing that perpetuates awful stereotypes
Huf - Controlled by suits in a boardroom, still marketing weed socks to degenerate kids. Also a recipe for plantar fasciitis with those shoes.
Creature - I’m not with the Satanic stuff
Welcome - Urban Outfitters
Toy Machine - Have you followed Ed Templeton on Insta?
Hook Ups
I-Path if they were still around - Timberland and foot problems later in life.
Satori - They care more about making yoga pants.

Also, don’t deny that you wouldn’t turn right around and walk out the door if you set foot in a shop that only had those brands in stock.
-
NHS as a whole since they house many of Jason Jesses sponsors and openly back him despite everything going on right now. I’m mad I just recently got a deck with MOB grip but it’ll be the last time that distro EVER gets a cent from me.
Regarding Spitfire/DLX, what’s the controversy surrounding them? I have enough spare gear that I can switch up my hard goods if need be, but I’ll be bummed if I gotta drop Real, Thunder, & Venture for aligning themselves with suspect shit. Would defintely like some clarification on that
Maybe I was naive to think that the skate industry would be somewhat immune to some of BS that plagues everything else in life, but it sucks see that curtain get pulled and realize how fucked these brands and the people behind them are. If I gotta rock that Theeve/eS/Crupie/Maxallure setup I’ll do it though.

i take back dlx after realizing jessee is not on spitfire

i take back dlx after realizing jessee is not on spitfire
Dlx has mocked my religious beliefs countless times, but I also don’t expect everyone else to share the same reverence. I can also admire the abilities of people who don’t necessarily agree with me on things.
Agree to disagree, it makes the world go round.
-
I really want to know what Jim T thinks about this. Everything is so incestual between Indy/ermico/DLX/high speed. Where are the lines drawn? Should we boycott slap and deny high speed the ad dollars?

Why the fuck are people boycotting Chick Fil A and Cracker Barrel? Even if you don’t agree with their Christian values you have to agree with the fact the make some tasty fucking food

Ha, they once posted something on Insta saying that Kyle Nicholson was their favorite skater, then proceeded to delete the post after I commented “but you didn’t put him on though...”
-
Hard Luck
-
thrasher - because they are always promoting the sketchiest stuff and schmitty has been active on deleting stuff on this forum. thrasher and indy are the same.
dlx - because of the grip they have on the industry as a whole and how they handle situations like andy roy and tony t among others. the enforcer rumors are insane too.

What if I told you that they're all owned by the same people?
-
Im sure these brands will suffer when the huge mass of SLAP consumers that regularly purchase Plan B, Rip n Dip, and Santa Cruz suddenly stop.
-
Dig deep enough, and you can find a reason to not buy from every brand in existence. If we kept this downward spiral going, we'll all end up not skateboarding at all in sitting naked in a public park.
-
that sounds more fun anyway
-
I didn't need to boycott Plan B because I am not stoked on it anymore in the first place....But i just saw this graphic on Trevor's instagram and it bothers me quite a bit. Why on god's green earth would you make Sean Sheffey a white surfer looking dude with long blonde hair? I'm baffled.

-
I won't buy anything from Wal-Mart because they're a scourge on small business and just kind of take any individual character out of small towns, they bully suppliers to dangerous labor practices overseas, etc. etc..
Amazon same, specifically because they more or less destroyed the publishing industry. But then they bought Whole Foods so they're getting my money anyway.
Nike for numerous reasons I've gone over on here before.
There's actually lots of other stuff. I'll add more later. I'm a big believer in voting with your wallet.

So boycott Hookups because the owner likes Manga artwork and is heterosexual?
Skateboarding wouldn't be shit without Jeremy Klein...and he does not one fuck give.

Probably 99.999% of people here agree, as I do, that racism, anti-Semitism, sexism, being a Nazi fuck boi and the companies that put the lid on such reprehensible behavior are all completely fucked up and ungood...Where does it end?

In the mid-late '90's you'd be hard pushed to find a skater who didn't regularly use that word.
It's no longer acceptable behavior to use that word and that's great.
We progress.
If he said that recently, fuck that.

This was the DVD rerelease mid 2000's I think. It doesn't end there though, there are more recent examples of him using homophobic language and blocking people on Instagram for challenging him.

he's pretty well known for his homophobia in the industry, yes him watching/ commenting on the end is probs the most famous but there are other instances. Go and write something even remotely homoerotic on his insta and watch how quickly he bans you. Pretty sure he's mad in denial/ secretly wants to kiss Greco

Daryl Angel is a total shit head and his actions are deplorable but I've supported Habitat from day 1 and will most likely continue to do so. Unfortunately, if half of you knew what a real jerkoff loser pile of shit Tim OConnor is in real life Habitat would've been boycotted ages ago. There just weren't all the available social media channels then to highlight what a human waste product he truly is.

I am one of those people so I am surprised. If nothing else I never saw him snake or vibe anyone. Maybe cause I’m from NJ I relate to his attitude? We don’t really know anybody though so maybe heritage got his number. His show is actually listenable though as opposed to the nine club

Meanwhile I ordered a sheet of black Grizzly (I hate Grizzly, but I hate nazis more!) and a sheet of black Diamond grip. Hoping they'll be alright. :)

the fact that anyone skates anything that isn't jessup blows my mind way more than anything else going on.

I tried out Madrid Fly Paper which I ordered from SoCal and ended up really liking it! It's really pliable and doesn't crease easily. The adhesive is working well in really hot weather too, something that MOB and Jessup both had issues with for me. Grip-wise it feels similar to MOB M-80 but it isn't tearing up my shoes too badly nor is it wearing down quickly.

Brink told me that Jason Jessee will be only using MOB LIL MAYO grip from now on, as part of his image rehabilitation.

Any form of racism doesn't belong in our community of skating and I have long worked to support that belief. It troubles me to realize now that I had somehow let my skate fanboyism thinking override my beliefs and cloud my vision of what someone connected to us had been into.
There's the part that separates Jim's response from Jessee's IMO. Yeah they both pretty much said everybody should love everybody, but Jim actually comes out and says "fuck racism," where Jason said "I said things that hurt people's feelings ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" Jim also takes the time to think about how to move on with this knowledge in mind, instead of sweeping it under the rug for the industry to forget about

Oh shit Jim spoke on this? I was kind of waiting for that especially with the hanging klansmen reissue a few years back. Are those the same views though? Where is the divide with nazis and the klan. Not trying to push the issue cause I’m sick of it but it does seem the nazi party has been the party of choice over the klan in recent years of this new fun era of intense and vocal racism.

Pretty much any brand that has used the confederate flag should be on this list.

really? I'm sure you're in the minority on that one ;)
Are you Aussie? Because I'm pretty sure passport is just playing on the drunk Aussie drongo/ bogan image of yesteryear. Do you remember that series they did with aboriginal artists? Didn't they do that as some some of benefit for said artists? Doesn't really sound like the actions of a nationalist women beating company does it?

Yeah right.... Danie Mellor has no business appropriating aboriginal art, he even looks racist.

I'm thinking black magic?
Or jessup. No other options

why?
Anyone asking this question did not skate in 2003 and therefore has no real say in this matter. Like Pluhowski said, Habitat's shit now.

I really want to know what Jim T thinks about this. Everything is so incestual between Indy/ermico/DLX/high speed. Where are the lines drawn? Should we boycott slap and deny high speed the ad dollars?

I respect the hell out of that response. Pretty much said he was blinded by being a fan of his skating. Jim T is a national treasure and he must be protected at all costs.
(insert HA AH collab deck here) oh wait pretty sure HA took all of them from Jim and threatened him.

here are the brands to boycott for june:
- Frog
- Dr. Pepper
- Abec 11 longboard wheels
- Dime (permanent ban)
- Polar (clothing only)
- Frankie Hill's skate wall mounts
- Gal Gadot

Grind king trucks just suck,but probably not racist even though Jay Adams was a former rider
