Toy Machine is the only thing that keeps Tum Yeto's weak ass afloat. Foundation no longer matters, Pig is fucking stupid, and Dekline shoes/Ruckus trucks? Yeah I'm sure they're killing it in sales.
It's amazing that they give Ed semi if not majority stake in his company, while they act like complete fuckwits with their other brands. When is the last time any of you actually bought a Tum Yeto product that wasn't a Toy Machine... Me either. I bought Foundation shit in the 90's and early 2000's, but that really doesn't matter to their current excel spreadsheet. Todd Swank has always been a gigantic fucktard anyway. Another reason I stopped buying from them once the ego swelled to douche proportions.
It's time for all these major brands in what was once our little community to take a hit, they've all gone Starbucks on people's asses. There is zilch need for monoliths in this childish wood plank game. So I only buy small brands and companies shit I RESPECT. Tum Yeto is not small regardless of that whole bull they throw. Nothing is legitimate these days. BUY BUY BUY!
and all you sucking off the skateboard equivalent to a high school football coach (Team Managers, Sinclair) you dumb dumb's need a mental check as to why you're in the skateboard game to begin with. Since when have all these slap business major cats showed up on the scene? We get it, we get older and understand how the world works, but skateboarding is a youth culture activity that passes in time. It's not to be dissected. Shit people clambering to make a buck in this futile thing always will, but it's your discretion to permit them your dollar. Don't if you feel that way.
Go spend real money on real quality, not quantity.
