Note that the only reason these industry people are contacting you is in order to water down the content of the site.
You're right. No worries though... I ain't taking shit off of it, and I'm not backing off of anything I've said. Of note: the place that the website is hosted is owned by a friend of mine who used to skate (he's not able to skate anymore, but he would if he could), so I doubt they can pressure him to do anything to it either.
I talked to Steve Douglas for a sec, we have a phone call scheduled for Monday... and just writing that makes me laugh... seriously, I'm fucking giggling like a person right now...
Picure this: Steve Douglas, representing the largest goddamned skate company on the planet, feels the need to schedule a phone call with a fucking skoal dipping, loud mouthed skate dork down in south Louisiana because of a website that
isn't even three days old. How absolutely ludicrous is this? I honestly can't stop laughing at the absurdity of this.
