Berra is a Scientologist... The Berrics is scamming skate shops... The Berrics is killing street skating... You guys are reaching. Slap has a mob mentality and for some stupid reason The Berrics didn't make the cool list. Even though every one of you probably frequents the site.

Another aspect of Berrics Unified all you 13 year old internet geniuses don't take into account is Field Ops. Say Berrics goes and does a Field Ops on a shop. They live in Philedelphia, so they fly out there, with two filmers, get hotels, have to rent a car, have to pay for food. That’s about, on the cheap side, a $2500 expense, just to go out and do a Field Ops on the shop that paid $1280 to get tens of thousands of dollars worth of advertising for an entire year. So… Berrics takes a $1250 hit or more by doing this, and this is even the time spent filming.

Hahaa! Come on haters! What the fuck is wrong with Berrics guys doing this? It's a commercial site, advertising there costs money. No big deal. That how the world goes round if you haven't notice. Are you guys commies or something? That was tested a few year back in a big country in east. I didn't work. Up for round2?

There are far more worst things in skateboarding than Berrics and their Unified program. This is skaters doing something for skaters. I think that's just  a good thing. The shit's in our hands. And I hope that Celebrity Centre is Berra 'cause then you see the man cares - not every company owner comes here to tell you what's up. Some of them don't even know that this boards exists and that's not a good thing.

I wonder if people on here would have began to think that your scheme is a rip off if you hadn't made those creepy videos with you trying to sound sincere.  Like, they were all retardedly dramatic, and filled with complete bullshit, and everyone knows that you're an actor and that you haven't put out a legitimate part in years (do you even ever skate outside of your trillion dollar park?); all of these things make your average skateboarder suspicious when you claim you're trying to save this or that aspect of skateboarding.  And for better or worse, the whole Scientology thing doesn't help either (no Scientologist should ever expect to be taken at their word ever--your whole craze is a big secret and kooks like Tom Cruise blew the fuck out of your spot hahahahaha).  Oh, and the Berrics sucks anyway.  It's a fucking skatepark--it will always look and be wack and boring compared to real skating (go in the videos/photos thread and read about how psyched kids are on Pat Burke's mob kickflip for an example of skaters appreciating something real and sick; you'd probably take an extra week of filming--alone, in the dark--your kickflip bs tailslide on the obstacle that you built specifically for that trick if that's what it took to do it 'clean' and for your Battle Kookmander to come out perfectly).  And fuck the cost of operating that place.  I'd much rather have that place be bulldozed than have to listen to a dude who lives in the Hollywood hills or wherever bitch about how much he gives and gives, when in fact he's just trying to start some wackass cash cow and become the next Brad Dorfman or whatever.  I say all this because, again, I think you're a wack skater and I would like to see your particular brand of skating go by the wayside.

Oh, and welcome to Slap.  I'm willing to bet that you've been sweating this place for fucking ever, so kudos for actually going ahead and getting an account.

1) As noted multiple times throughout this thread, this would have been OK if Berra had been up front about this in the first place.
2) Concealing business incentives as altruism is not OK.
3) To act like a little baby when someone calls bullshit on your little plan is not OK: the video they put up now is just dumb.
4) This has nothing to do with Berra being a scientologist, this has to do with Berra thinking that he is smarter than most people. Which is also dumb.
5) Bleh.

What tipped you off, Mr. Berra? Was it thread titles like "wot is t3h bestest sk8 toolz"? Why not take the advice of your sage-like business partner and "go fucka yor face".

whether it is or not, you don't just say call your own site the most popular visited skateboarding site on the internet.  Ya just don't do that.  But then again scientologists never were about being modest.

i kinda giggled when i saw that more half the states on there were still at 0

All things being equal, it bums me out whenever someone uses the strawman argument of "all SLAP posters being 13 years old." Now, I don't really have an emotional investment in what gets said about SLAP users anyways, but there are plenty of posters here who are actually mature, intelligent adults who love skateboarding and have informed opinions to share. There are plenty of posters on this site who are complete wastes of space, but not everyone is a trend-hopping illiterate hater. Of course this will fall on deaf ears because it's easier to stereotype us all thinking the same exact way (with the heroic COTG serving as our foil), but the diversity of viewpoints represented here is much greater than we're given credit for.

yeah but it`s not like you`re visiting each shop every year and not every second year neither. your example does`t work.

also i guess you hope for every shop and their mother to sign up, which i guess if it worked out, would make  much more money than one big advertiser. You don`t even need 200 shops to sign up (berrics unified international coming soon, right?) to make quite some extra money on the $75.000 monthly.

i think it`s a pretty good idea that could benefit everybody involved, but goddamn, those videos are terrible.

the best thing in this drama is watsons jesus, so good!
the worst thing is salman agah.

Don’t kid yourself, Jimmy. If a cow ever got the chance, he’d eat you and everyone you care about!


Why does the borrics need to send filmers to make the shop checkout videos? pretty much every town has 20 kids that film and are capable of making decent videos.

Of all the people in the industry to hate, Salman shouldn't even be on your radar. Anyone who knows him knows he's a stand up guy. And a living legend.

And are you seriously going to say that my 13 year old comment on here is somehow offensive? I know there's grown ups on here and I'm no little kid myself. I've broken my ankle 3 times and had it reconstructed once. I've broken both wrists 4 times each as well as my cheek, finger, thumb, front teeth and left metatarsal.

But all that aside, my arguments hold up and The Berrics Unified is a legit way to help small shops increase their market.

Beaten to it.

I also found it funny Berra how you took the liberty to say you have nothing against mall shops, and talk about leveling the playing field. Of course you have nothing against Zumiez, West 49, or any other mall brand shop. They sell shit from the Berrics. Slowly killing the core shops that you want to help.

Bottom line is that anyone who would reasonably pick up a board knows where their local shop is. Is it really going to bring in that much more revenue honestly? Not only that much more revenue, but they'd have to sell X amount of boards, shoes, or misc. skateboard equipment just to break back even with the contract, then have to sell X amount of amount of boards, shoes, or misc. skateboard equipment just to start getting in the +. I think its a bit naive to expect local skaeshops to get enough money back as to where it would be relevant.

I like the idea you had in mind. Nobody cares about the Berrics bringing in money. The execution is just garbage to be honest.

from the youwillsoon post on the first berrics unified post
"Watson said...
Fuck dude I just read those comments from Salman. Really disappointed. It takes a pretty low level of integrity and intelligence to rely on homophobia when arguing with someone. What if that Steve Miller who ran Exit skateshop WAS actually gay and "waxed his cock duster moustache" or whatever it said? Does that mean Berra's no longer a douche? No."

and why are you talking about broken bones? i would rather hear an apology to all the shops that you decided to decree as "unimportant."  I know you made that somewhat redeeming More On the Berrics Unified video, but if you're going to take the time to make a video even slightly based on all the people calling your idea out, at least be thorough and man up your wrongful approach. this is a good idea, most people i think are just bummed on your high-horsed, overdramatic, misleading approach. step down to our tier and look at yourself, and how bogus you're appearing.

selling and expanding the product in your online shop is cool, most other shops/companies would do the same. i see no wrong there, for now.

i would be VERY interested in knowing just how much involvement scientology has with the berrics. 
[close]

Absolutely none.

And attacking someone's religion is a pretty low blow. In typical Slap fashion when confronted with a good argument you hit below the belt.

Make up your minds. People on here are always saying Scientology is about making money. Then why would scientology be interested in a skatepark that costs $75,000 a month to operate, offers free content, and less than low cost advertising.

The industry norm is to offer incentives to shops who buy in bulk, for example mall shops and mail orders. The Berrics is offering incentives for small skater owned/operated shops.

This all comes down to the delivery, not the program itself.  Yes Berra is now admitting it cost money, and honestly it isn't THAT much money.  But the first video gave the impression they were covering it up...and I wonder if the second video would have been made if the first hadn't got the original negative reaction.

And I still don't understand why a listing can't be free?  Sure area specific advertising can, and probably should, cost money.  But go back to Berra's own example of the phonebook.  If you want an ad in the phonebook you have to pay extra.  BUT...every shop with a phone number will get a listing in the phonebook for no extra cost.  Why not list all the shops and let those with more money pay extra for the advertising??  That would be a very fair program as it wouldn't exclude ANY local shop...but allow those who are willing to put in extra have the advertising they feel they can afford.

why don't you list all the skateshops like a directory (even plain old tws style -this would actually be a unification). then have the one's that pay a fee have banners and popups/whatever? - this "advertising" then is more of an option and not singling out most of the shops who still support the community just don't want to pay for advertising.

i do believe borra is trying to do good here, and trying to make some money to support the site (nothing wrong with that) but i can't see why everyone can't be recognized even if they don't want a banner on the site.

What if that Steve Miller who ran Exit skateshop WAS actually gay and "waxed his cock duster moustache" or whatever it said? Does that mean Berra's no longer a douche? No."

I'm not condoning homophobia on any level but that seems like a pretty minor infraction. It's more of a goofy term for a mustache than a direct assault on someone's sexuality.

And its funny how once you dislike someone you become the PC police. Slurs on sexuality get thrown around here like nothing and as long as it's coming from someone you agree with it's accepted.

Another bit of irony here is calling out someone on homophobia but letting religious intolerance fly. That's something both Salman and I deal with regularly and no one here seems to take offense.

How about instead of avoiding the question, you give us a fair answer.  I haven't made any personal attacks on you.  What do you think about making a free directory for all shops...while allowing those who can afford to pay your fees (which do seem pretty fair) for extra area specific advertising?
