A World Without Skateshops
« on: March 11, 2007, 11:31:02 AM »
Got this e-mail this morning:

Hello there,

You are receiving this email because we thought you might have interest in knowing about a new message board.

It's called http://www.aworldwithoutskateshops.com

Over the past several months, there has been a tremendous amount of discussion about the sale of blank and shop decks. A great many people were compelled to weigh in with their thoughts. Now that some of the dust has settled, the question of where we go next was raised. We decided to launch this site in the hopes of giving a boost to the local independent skate shop - the true heart of skateboarding who seem to be increasingly UNDER FIRE!

We NEVER want to see a world where there are no skateshops. The only way to truly ensure this is for shops, manufacturers and consumers to really communicate what works and what needs fixing.

This site is a way for EVERYONE who is involved with skateboarding to discuss what is on their minds in a very FOCUSED environment.

If you could let people know about this new site, we'd very pleased.

Thank you.

the folks from aworldwithoutskateshops.com

if it would be an fair discussion between all the parties involved, this seems like the platform for the solution. We have had the dwindle campaign, grim's great work, the parody (hubba), so now perhaps the answer?
