wow,
is all I can say. What started as a fun way to spend the day, hurt and unable to skate became an industry sensation. Stricker from TWS even heard about this thread...wtf
No other company donates gross profits...so it isn't money that motivates...but you gotta make money to give away grip to your riders, pay photo incentives, pay your factory for their labor and hopefully make some money in the end.
It blows my mind you all are still grinding on this.
I have been running a charity for 7 years for free---30 thousand kids have been turned on to skateboarding because of Doogood and our sponsors.
I am in it, the industry, because I have love for it.
If you want to use the same ol stuff that was made in the 80's go ahead. But, just wanted to get the word out anyway i could without paying Transworld, or Thrasher 4 grand page...maybe I was expecting too much from this thread, but, at the very least it has been highly entertaining.
Grim,
Good job researching me, except you failed to mention a few things, like Doogood, journalism and the desire to have a better life.
Hope you enjoy the grip, it cost me money to send it to you.sooo for real...do some muscle testing on yourself and see how week negative thoughts make you...Research Dr. Feldenkreis
To the New Jersey skater...hit us up if you want it out there. JZ is repping it in the NYC--woops i named dropped again---forealdo the mafia premeir tonight is gonna blow----wes, tyler---paradox
thanks for all your energy---it only helps us
