This supposed industry insider isn't answering very many questions?

Why hasn't Cons signed a female skater to their roster like ever other big shoe brand getting ready for the Olympics?

Where's Dyrdek been? (other than getting ready for the Olympics)

How do companies find clothing and board manufacturers?
If I were to try and create a company and make boards through bbs, generator, or ps,
how do I go about contacting the manufacturers? Who would I contact to make clothes?
It may seem unrealistic to start a brand or company in skateboarding and expect to
Do well with all these brands popping up. I just want to know out of curiosity.


this ones easy and a big reason the skate market sucks: everyone just uses what everyone else uses. finding factories is kind of hard you gotta go overseas and meet people and inspect etc to find your own.  other option is there's sort of show rooms here basically just middle men that have their own set of factories that you go thru.

if you have $10k you can start a company no problemo but likely wont be able to sell it.

Is true that the big shoe corps are putting money on small board brands like Polar, Magenta, 917... To win visibility and destroy the core brands?

Hell yeah, I appreciate the feedback.
Yeah it seems super tough to start one now in this market.

How many times has Gipper donned the black to go hang out with his Alt Left Antifa suburb white friends?   Is Gipper going to tell me how to feel about my own race?
[close]
Nobody is telling you how to feel about anybody, though apparently you make racial assumptions and like to repeat Donald Trump's bullshit without thinking about it. Alt-Left is a Trump invention. Be smarter than a Trump moron, most of the country are.

looolll such a classic Gipper answer to a joke question, I love it.  Anytime you get called/insinuated to be a moron/idiot by Gip it was a good day.  Nice to have you back posting.   
where is home?

wasn't true w/ Skate Mental isn't true for new small brands. they don't put any money into any of this but do pay riders, fund trips, finance filming n stuff so brands don't need budget for much besides production.

It's a standard of measurement intended for measuring extreme manhood. If a Berra is a unit of measurement that measures the saturation point of a tampon, then the Metric Foot measures a dick so large it defies both reason and comprehension.

I have no idea what you are talking about. When someone is of a company, they are of, and it can be a real hardship. I don't see what's funny about that. These people have families to feed.
