Stewart definitely didn't approach the whole situation correctly, but that doesn't stop the fact that video sales are dying, and fast. You all can say how everyones just testing before they buy, being informed consumers, however this obviously isn't true, as the facts don't lie. Skateboardings only been growing bigger year after year, yet videos are doing the exact opposite. And to whoever said we'd see lower budget and/or less videos, while that may someday be the case these videos are made by people who love them, and they don't wont to shovel out garbage. And so you have people like Josh Stewart who stand to gain nothing on their investments.
Now I myself am by no means righteous as I download every video I can get my grubby little hands on. The last video I bought was Baker 3 and I'll probably end up getting Fully Flared, but only because they stood out so much they I needed them at the highest quality possible. So I suppose I'm being an "informed consumer" yet I also own about 40 videos from the pre-internet-downloading days. The skate video is definitely dying a slow and painful death, and I don't see how any of you on here can bitch and complain that somebody should mention it'd be the right thing to do to purchase one.
