Geometric Skateshop….Seeing a lot of them lately. Does anyone know who own this shop? Why they have taken off so much lately with so much backing?

His team (Jorge Villagomez) has Leo and Dakota, Blake and Jaeb, Braden Hoban, Ish Cepeda and Christian henry and like 30 other major players. Shit dont make sense....

They only have 2 locations (1 in Houston and the other in Dallas) so equating them to Zumiez doesn't make any sense. They carry dope shit and take care of professional skateboarders passing through either city. The few times I've visited the shop for product or a video premiere, I've experienced nothing but good vibes
As to how they sponsor so many skaters and are backed by so many, I have no idea lol
-
Everyone in Texas has beef with Jorge. Hard pass on Geometric.

What if they run a good business and that the stereotype of born from bad owners?

What for? I’ve never been to Texas and don’t know anyone out there so just genuinely curious haha
-
Owner of the shop worked as a rep and kissed a lot of ass to get the shop where it is today and personally pays out of his asshole to bring teams to town. And then calls them his close personal “friends” on instagram

dallas baybeeeee

They sound a little square to me. ;D

Dear lord, hear my prayers: please let the source of Geometric skate shop's boundless finances come from something exciting, like narco-dollar$, or some other equally scandalous source.
Hearing that the dude just kissed ass to where he's at today feels somehow, meh... unsatisfying.
Not much story in THAT!

What you don't understand is that kissing ass in Texas is a capital offense on the level of the sketchy stuff you speak of.

I went in the Houston shop a couple of times when I was down there for a week back several years ago. They were very cool to me, and I’ve bought multiple things from them since and had them shipped to me without issue. There was one time they sent me the wrong shoes, and no longer had my size, so I returned the wrong ones, and they said they’d hook me up with a discount for different shoes at a later date. I still haven’t actually cashed in on that discount yet, but all of my experiences with them have been positive.
Perhaps people are mistaking the owner’s supposed ass kissing for just being a genuinely kind person? I know it’s hard to believe, but nice people exist, and I’m going to need more of an answer than “Everyone in Texas has beef...” Especially when they’ve got two seemingly successful stores in two different cities.
-
I'm from Houston and I'm confused by their whole deal, too. Back in the day, I think they were doing a small board brand for a while and you'd see kids around the North Houston park riding them. Then it stopped and all the sudden they had a skate shop going. Never had a bad experience dealing with them and their board wall is pretty nice, but it's weird that they have a full on team of pros being a skate shop with 2 locations in Texas. Maybe the dude's just good at running a business?

...Would also have accepted "son of a wealthy Texas oil tycoon," as an answer.
-
I heard there’s active racism involved.
-
Rumor has it some dude named Luke york funds it all with fun money.
-
heard the dude used to be vx1000market on IG, and that people would send him VX's to get repaired and he would charge them then just send it back a week later without doing anything to the camera.

Fuck geometric.
Fuck buying your way into the industry by sucking everyone’s metaphorical dick.
Fuck icing out everyone in town and thinking everyone’s gonna quit their shop sponsors to come ride for your shop just cause it’s the “cool” new one in town.
Fuck fucking people out of their cameras and money through your fake vx repair instagram
Fuck planting a bunch of shops around Texas just to push out other shops.
Geometric will be the next Fast Forward (Zumiez)

I have friends who got their VX’s fixed by that page. Both of those VX’s are still working years later. Not that he didn’t do that to other people

I've heard this from some of my friends in Texas - kisses ass to pros, etc. and then acts too cool for the locals in the Texas skate community.
At the end of the day, it's a core shop so i can't be mad at it, but i hate when people start cool guying others in their skate community as soon as they start rubbing shoulders with pros, industry heads, etc. Worst shit. Those dudes never seem to have any real friends of their own
