Generator not making shop decks anymore?

[daboss]

I guess they decided to support the pros? They are only supplying decks to large brands now which i think is bullshit. A lot of local shops had to scramble and go with shitty chinese wood because the american companies can't turn around 200 boards fast enough to get shit done. 

Completely lame if you ask me.

most kids don't have 60 bucks for a new deck.

I went to a local shop and talked to the guy behind the counter. He had a few shop decks left and none in my size, 8 or above. He told me what was up with generator. Maybe it has something to do with their involvement with some Blitz brands?

chances are, if a kid can't afford a board s/he could get a hand me down from someone at the skateshop or you know.. get a fucking job to support our addictions like the rest of us
