Yea but surely the original owner/founder sold it first

Nobody had a gun to their head

I’m not saying it’s bad to sell a company you founded
Just one of those things

Today I learned
BLIND is an attack against VISION - Mark Gonzales' former sponsor

In late-1989, Mark Gonzales approached Rocco with the desire to be involved in his own company. Gonzales was riding for Vision, which was one of the top 3 skateboard companies in the world at the time, alongside Santa Cruz and Powell Peralta. Gonzales and Rocco decided to name the company Blind, in contrast to Gonzales' former sponsor

And in that same vein, when everyone left Welcome, Nolan and Lucas gave a nod to Gonz and Scram was born.

Wall Street is a dope shop, if your ever in Lyon go check it out, they got a concrete mini in the pack and curbs everywhere. It's not far from HDV.
