sick graphics and theme for the brand. The website was cool too.

As far as stereo goes, they've been straying from that whole early 60's jazz theme nowadays.
and that's unfortunate

I couldn't even imagine how hard it would be to assemble a team.

If it were me, I'd want good skaters with style...  No lame attitudes and aren't total assholes to kids.  I'd want it to have a tight family feel but at the same time, have it spread out so you get coverage over as wide an area as possible.  Doesn't sound very easy to me.

if you skate in a community it's stupid easy. you gel with certain people, and you put them on. sometimes it doesn't work out. sometimes it does. sometimes people with money move in, and people move on. unless you can cut people a check. you got to be mellow. just skate. it's all BS beyond that anyways. if you want to make money be a banker. if you want to skate. go skate.

My skate community are older skaters who are married with kids and work 9 to 5's. They have no interest in being sponsored.
It's also a bad idea to sponsor friends, you realize this when you have to kick them off for doing something stupid. Not fun!

I am not looking to make money but I am looking to keep this going for a long time. As long as we break even, we'll be around.

I hear you. This is not the first board company I've done. Last one put me in the hole big time, spent years getting out of it.

As previously stated, I like the website, the graphics work/flow with the vibe you are going for, nearly in 20 skate shops is a good start,  the direction is there, just keep pushing it. I wish you the best of luck and hope to see these boards in more shops.

My first thought was "Stereo was a great company".

Bumpnrun did a review of Music boards and wheels on his blog. Check it out.

If you don't read Fairways & Flips on the daily you are missing out. Great blog!

Dig the concept and the graphics. Also like the fact that the decks are USA made.

I haven't ridden a pennswood, but would like to try. Let us know when you've got 8.25s-8.75s.

Also, if you are making your boards domestically, you should mention that somewhere on your site and other marketing collateral. Same goes for "eco" wheels: what makes them eco and where are they made?  Little kids could care less about USA and eco, so those marketing hooks are for an older demographic that probably wouldn't mind hearing the details that prove it's not BS hype. These little things can help set you apart for the consumer or shop owner/buyer.

good luck man!

I agree.

I'm about 10 sessions deep with my Genre board.  Super stoked.  With the cold and/or wet weather we've been having, not really getting out very much.

We actually have a handful of 8.25s in the Genre graphic. Email me if interested in ordering one.
Next graphics series will feature an 8.25 model.

Part that makes the wheels Eco is there's no waste in the manufacturing process. Everything is recycled.
The formula is also Green, but hard for me to explain due to I am not a chemist.

Bumpnrun has mentioning printing "Made in the USA" on our boards and wheels.
Don't know why we didn't think of it in the first place. Next series will have it.
