Do we not think that there is some CEO running the blank and shop board company, that probably never skated a day in his life.
At least the ones like Steve Douglas & Jamie Thomas come from skateboarding.
IASC, skate shops, distributors, woodshops, etc... should be asking what is best for skateboarding but I guess everyones to wrapped up in how to have their own business make the most money. If pros, CEO lose their jobs and skate shops, & the industry die off, I'll still be skating and getting my skate stuff on the "Black Market" ha-ha
