Considering no real skate companies are fucking with them anymore and there’s no more battle at Berrics, how long do you give them?

They still have a huge following of Zumiez kids.  They’ll probably turn it into a Woodward or some shit.

I could see this being the likely path. A berries skate camp would probably do pretty well.

I haven’t watched anything from there in awhile, but weren’t the walls all done up with ads for sponsors and stuff. Is that no more?

I am still a hold with the Berrics stock.

Sure they missed their Q3-Q4 forecast, but this is mostly to do with COVID-19 reducing activity in the park and in turn content on to their web-site.

I am predicting a lot of growth in the skatepark entertainment industry and Berrics being the first mover in that space is really set-up to capitalize.

I think Berrics is positioned for growth in 2021 and can fill a segment of the market (16-25 year old demographic) that Braille and Dude Perfect is not as structured to capture.

That is why I am bullish on Berrics stock and I think they are one to watch in this market space.

vx really gave those early Berrics videos an amazing vibe. A lot of the people behind the most memorable instant-classic Berrics videos and art direction are long gone and there are only a couple of people from back in the day who still work there/
In the first few years, it seemed like the Berries succeeded in spite of (not because of) Borra.

Per usual, I think people are underestimating just how much kids in the like 9-17 year old love shit like the berrics. i have a feeling they have an insanely large following/reach/influence etc and can move some serious ad/endorsement money. shits not going anywhere.

The berries was sick those first couple years it’s honestly sad seeing what it’s become. Those early battles at the berrics with Heath and Carroll and shit were so sick. I don’t  understand how they fucked up such a simple formula.

The moment i saw the latest iteration of the berrics park itself i lost all interest. There is NOTHING creative about that park setup. Noooothing. Its a video game park, designed for bragging rights and in general, skateboarders arent that interesting, so if the skateboarding isnt interesting there isnt much else drawing me in. Its hard to make hanging out at skatepark into content thats overly compelling. Bunch of heads sitting around or rolling around trying tricks. Thats why they end up with thrown together ideas turned into challenges like the chris cole battles, the fastest trick thing and then a cut to yoon sul with a surprised facial expression and a high five as thats all that guy has to offer in any situation ever.

So if its just the same ledges rails and stairsets with ever growing and variations of tricks. Im good. Thats not content i need to see or feel like ive missed out if i dont.
