This thread is the best thing on this board at the moment. Good sound business talk/advice, and outright positivity for new companies, and the general support of skateboarding.

The thing with TURF is... it's almost the opposite of what I normally look for in a skate company, in terms of team (York and Kelch aside), but the way they've done it, the message and product they put out (having Bob K doing the art direction doesn't hurt either) get's me stoked on the company. I back them fully, and now they're putting 8" boards out I hope to pick one up as soon as I find somewhere out here in NY that's stocking them.

Good work York and Co.

And Sanch: what you said rings true. If you back what you've put out, and brake even financially I think you're more than a success business wise in skateboarding. It's nice to make money, but it's better to sleep easy at night and be proud of what you've put out, and who you've supported.

IM BUMMED ! NO HATE YET. I FINALLY MADE AN ACCOUNT ....AND NO HATE..
YA ALL THE GOOD ADVICE IS REAL COOO.
WE NEVER WANTED TO BE MILLION DOLLAR BALLERS OVER HERE.
IF YOUR GONNA WORK HARD YOU MIGHT AS WELL DO SOMETHING YOU LOVE.
WE WOULD RATHER BE STRESSIN ABOUT BOARD COLORS OR SHAPES OF BOARDS RATHER THAT TRIPPIN OFF OF SHIIPIN DOORS OR SOAP FOR SOME WHACK BOSS WHO WILL FIRE YOU IN 5 YEARS..
AND THE SOME DUDE IS NOT SUPOSED TO BE HENRYS BOARD. WAIT TILL YOU SEE SOME DUDES PART..

Mike York is one of the funniest guys in skating! Big fan of his ledge tricks as well. Looks like a pretty good combo of pros and ams. Sammy baptista's switch back tails! Kelch is a legend. Bay area represent.

Turf, if you guys need any internet help just give me a shout. I'm down to help you guys get promotions started and shit down here in San Diego also. Internet marketing on basically no budget is something that i know also. Hit me up.

One little piece of business advice, though you've probably thought of this already. Don't over spend! It's easy to do when you're just starting out, but don't pay for shit you don't need. The key word here is NEED.

What kind of wood are you using?

Duffy · « **Reply #64 on:** October 12, 2007, 11:01:24 AM »

I can't wait to see the video.
York, Wussler, Wakuzawa, and Baptista never dissapoint, Kelch is a legend, and the rest of the ams look fucking great.

Nothing but love here.

When are the decks comming out?

It usually IS a non stop lounge of HATE! Opinions are like assholes slap's message board has both.

I used to troll this place back in the day and then decided it was about time i added my 2 cents. I'm stoked for York. When I was a kid I used to fucking hate the guy, he was the fast forward part. I was all sorts of "hardcore" back then. I just wanted to see skating, not someone having fun. As I grew up though I realized that he is one funny mother fucker and I watch all of his parts now.

I got the rare chance to see Kelch in action in the 90s first hand. I drove out from NY to SF to skate for a summer and I met Kelch one day at EMB. He eagerly threatened to beat the shit out of me or hit me with his skateboard. I didn't take kindly to it and I walked away with a broken heart :*( WHYYYYYYYYYYY KELCH WHYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! haha.

Anyway, i'm stoked to see these dudes doin their own thing now!

moustache · « **Reply #70 on:** October 12, 2007, 12:10:33 PM »

Haha, good times. I was kinda the same. I guess it takes a while to realise and seperate the good dudes from the bad. You still live in NY now?
