I hope I have this story right, I was really tired when I was told it: I went to Allston last weekend to see some friends, and a buddy of mine who works at Orchard occasionally said Jereme came through and tried to get a free complete. Whoever was working said only if he did a freestyle. He did, got "something" my friend said as he rolled his eyes, and they filmed it. Then he still had to pay something for the board. Then they asked him to skate the mini with them. I can't remember if he dropped in at all but he said something like, "Nah man, I can't skate this. It ain't feelin' right." This wasn't that long ago, if this guy's trying to get free completes, he's doomed. But we all knew that.

I heard about his appearance at the new Orchard location, you made him sound a lot better than the way I heard it!

I think "ELFISH" would have been a lot neater! Or is it "ELF-ISH"?

It's actually ELVISH...which would make ELFISH even funnier

Looks like Selfish is being done through Control MFG in Canada.

You did spell it wrong. It's spelled j-a-c-k-s-o-n f-i-v-e

That was not jackson 5 you person, that was pretty funny thoughm maybe it was a cover. You really wanna open a can of worms cuz I understand your dry sarcasm, guy shoulda used MJ for FF, I´m being polite, no I´m not

No, dipshit. Skate more he skated to jameraquoi or however you spell it. In Yeah right he skated to a song called "Don't stop till you get enough" by The Jackson 5.
Now shut your rude mouth you stupid little boy, listen to your elders, and next time somebody tells you that you are wrong, believe them, because you are very very stupid.
Are you a kook? If you would say this, the answer is “YES”
I quit skating for a time due to piling out

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Stop_%27til_You_Get_Enough

"Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" is a single by American recording artist Michael Jackson. Released under Epic Records on July 28, 1979, the song is the first single from Jackson's fifth studio album, entitled Off the Wall. Written by Jackson, it is in the key of B major and in common time signature, the song was the first solo recording over which Jackson had creative control. Jackson said that the song's lyrics were not a reference to sex, but could be about whatever people wanted them to be about.

To maintain Jereme's consistency, it's one of the the biggest unintentional  jokes, no doubt.

Michael was the only Jackson on Don't Stop Til You Get Enough.  Off the Wall was the greatest MJ album by far.  Mafukkas missed the boat on that one and then hopped on Thriller.

This email is to announce the launch of Jereme Rogers' Selfish Skateboards blog. This is only the first step of many to come over the next few months. We will present a 2nd pro skateboarder on July 1st on both the website and blog. Expect lots of promo videos, high profile collaborations and skateboard graphics to be unveiled shortly.
 
"After riding for the largest brands like Plan B and Girl Skateboards, I’m happy to take a step forward and finally be able to do things on my own terms! Our goal is simple: to sponsor elite skateboarders, pay higher royalties and offer higher quality products. It’s the skateboarders that make these large companies and I think the cut given to the skater isn’t fair" –Jereme Rogers
 
The skateboards are made with East Coast hardrock Canadian maple in Canada so we have fresh boards that wont snap like a twig. Most brands nowadays manufacture their product in China. Kids end up paying for a sub-par product at the same price as a high-end product. You are basically ripping off kids that put their hard earned money on a product that won’t last. This is a conscious choice made by many large brands to make larger margins and we at Selfish Skateboards believe that isn’t right.
 
We believe the time for a change has come! We hope the industry will support us in our goal.

Doesn't seem very selfish of them to provide a quality product for cheap. I'd rather they stuck to their gimmick and charge $100 for a 5 ply superglued rectangle. Or a cabinet with wheels.

I'm so glad all of this is happening. I love skateboarding, but sometimes watching crooked grinds gets old. Watching this whole thing blow up on the lauch pad is truly a pleasure. Fucking Challenger.


you left, and the door was closed behind you.
