Title: 10 brands - a skateboard brand discussion
Post by: sfa on June 21, 2022, 07:15:52 AM
So, first off yes, another discussion about how many board brands there are, but, what if your local shop could only carry 10 board brands?

What do you think those ten board brands would be? Should be? Or you wish would be?

edit: don't take wheels/trucks into consideration, just board brands.

Don’t care which brands, but I’d break it down like this:

8 core brands
2 local brands
Title: Re: 10 brands - a skateboard brand discussion
Post by: Mean salto on June 21, 2022, 07:25:20 AM
Real, krooked, anti hero- both because they are good but you'll also want ventures, thunders and Spitfires
Enjoi, almost- dependable plus have lower cost options
Passport, polar, evisen, palace- international flavour
Baker/death wish or toy machine-skater grub shit
10s hard I'd prob also want primative and Santa Cruz too
Title: Re: 10 brands - a skateboard brand discussion
Post by: IpathCats on June 21, 2022, 07:28:29 AM
Krooked
Anti Hero
Toy Machine/foundation (toy would probably sell better)
Baker
Quasi
Primitive
Sour
Scumco
Coda
Hopps


Something for everyone, some smaller local-ish brands too.

Edit: If we're factoring trucks into this, I'd probably swap toy/foundation for creature in order to get indys at the shop.

we had a similar approach.
Title: Re: 10 brands - a skateboard brand discussion
Post by: rawbertson. on June 21, 2022, 07:48:03 AM
it would be hard to do just 10 , especially in canada, if you want to get all the major truck companies covered.

Supra:
DLX, Hockey, Crail, Venture, Spitfire

Mehrathon:
Bakerboys, Primitive, April, WKND, Ace

NHS:
Indy, OJ, SC/Creature

I feel like I personally would want those in order to ensure success... One major one that I am missing here is ULTIMATE distribution which handles A LOT of the really popular brands like Toy Machine, Bones, Rocco brands, DGK, Magenta. They seem to be the biggest one. I also would have to forego Grand Trading which does Polar, Last Resort, Quasi, GX1000, Pass Port, Frog, Isle - a lot of really cool smaller brands. 

My reasons for choosing this, I feel like those brands have staying power. I also think if you choose ULTIMATE you are competing a lot more against Zumies, and if you are choosing grand trading you are competing more against core shops. I just want to try something a little different. I also think my area maybe not ready for the real core stuff, we need a bridge.

that would be dope

just make every shirt a random doodle you did on a white t-shirt. every single one is "One of a kind"
every board is a graphic by you  ;D

Clear cut winner is antihero so far.

Last few boards i bought were heroin, toy, AH and currently riding a slave…so i vote those. Also shop boards, girl/chocolate and polar or one of those type companies.
I’ll throw in creature/santa cruz too but i don’t like riding their boards.
Title: Re: 10 brands - a skateboard brand discussion
Post by: gumsole on June 21, 2022, 11:15:39 AM
I mean if you want to have a shop that actually sells boards, but also gives you the ability to buy other goods from distributors you'll need to have these brands in your store.

Real
Krooked / Anti Hero (you choose, don't need both. also gives DLX relationship)
Creature / Santa Cruz (you choose, don't need both. also gives NHS relationship)
Baker
Deathwish
Quasi
Primitive
Fucking Awesome
Toy Machine
Enjoi (dwindle relationship)

10 is super hard because you'd want a couple boards that can be for the first board kid to the old school pool guy to the current times trendy guy. Element, Madness, Passport, There, Welcome, Roger, Frog, & Chocolate should fill those categories.
Title: Re: 10 brands - a skateboard brand discussion
Post by: in love w/ fs shuvs on June 21, 2022, 11:30:07 AM
FA, Krooked, Real, Glue, GX, There, Alien, Polar, Wknd, Welcome.

I'm just going based off shapes, popularity, and just general vibes.

Baker shapes are dog shit imo. Sorry, can't stand em. They might be a bit better these days idk.

I'd carry primitive but zumiez seems to be holding it down.

Might be good to get Santa Cruz for the NHS connect + to sell to normies. Yeahhh... Maybe ditch polar or welcome for SC.

i'd maybe swap scumco for creature or santa cruz but that list feels like your bases are covered for any kind of skater that would come to your shop looking for stuff.

FA, Quasi, Alltimers - mainly to sell to the younger demographic of teens through dudes in their mid 20's

Santa Cruz, Primitive - basically for people who cruise through the shop but don't skate/peeps that will buy a complete once and thats it, but actual skaters will buy these from time to time as well

Krooked, Chocolate, Toy Machine, Baker - long-time board brands that everyone generally likes/will appreciate. also just seems right to have a little representation from each distro.

last brand would probably alternate between Western Edition, Isle, and Magenta more so for my personal taste

didn't think it would take that much thought trying to narrow it down to 10 brands sheesh

The Killing Floor

Prime wood/reissues

Santa Monica Airlines

Strangelove

That’s it. I want decks that I want to look at that look like a gallery display. Every other brand I would have to get individually vetted for how they would fit with the aesthetics, but TKF et al does not look like typical consumeristic product. I would just special order for my clientele or not give a shit. Fuck it. I’ll make the rent doing portrait photography and make more profit selling “street wear” apparel.

Great idea for a thread.

Here’s what I’d like to choose if I had a skate shop. Not all brands are my personal favorites but I wouldn’t have a problem selling any of these at my shop and I think these would mostly do fairly well. Listed in order of importance.

1. Antihero
Let’s face it, if you don’t have Antihero, you’re fucking up. Don’t really need Krooked or Real although Krooked especially would be nice.

2. Polar
Really popular in Finland and people like the shapes.

3. Hockey
For the cool kids. Don’t really need FA IMO. Skipping all the other “cool” brands ie. Palace, Quasi etc. cuz there’s only 10 brands.

4. Happy Hour
Legendary local Finnish brand you just have to have at your shop in Finland.

5. April
For the kids. And I’d rather skate April than Primitive.

6. Baker
Seems to be on the come up again with the kids over here and of course popular for a lot of people due to the longevity of the brand & nostalgia.

7. Toy Machine
For the people with 90s nostalgia & kids.

8. Heroin
For the eggheads & other older dudes who want all the cool shaped decks.

9. Black Label
For the old heads. I’d really like to see Black Label do well. Love John Lucero.

10. Worble
I’d like to see Worble do well.

Gotta go with the brands who's demos I'd like to book/ see. I'm also in the hood so my brands are less hesh:

Primitive - All-star ledge and flatground line up. Put them on the street in front of your shop or with a box and you're good to go. Also multiculti vibe fits in my demographic.

Baker /Deathwish - Just enough hesh to bring in some suburban business yet something for the urban skater as well. Kader would get the crowd hyped.

April - Nugget and Rayssa at the demo? Instant crowd pleasers.

Real - Always consistent since 1990 with a bunch of ATV's to kill the hypothetical shitty skatepark that the city would give us. Some brothers on the team who all skate differently, including Ishod the God.

Limo - Shop is east coast so I'ma have to go with an EC brand. Max/ Cyrus are killing it and the brand give me an EE vibe.

FA - They still have Louie Lopez.

Sci-Fi - Depends if Jerry shows up at the demo, just for me to bow down to.

Hopps - Gotta support Jahmal

Isle - Tom Knox

Hardies or whatever it's gonna be called - TJ would light up a front-of-the-shop demo and would inspire the kids, families, etc.

Fuck Real - the stable but bland one. Admit it. You’ve always wanted to hit it and have been eying her, so nows your chance. Sure. She’s not the most exciting girl but boy is she surprisingly pleasant. She ain’t too bad looking either. Nows your chance for this one night stand.

Marry krooked - she’s the artsy girl. A little off beat but quirky. Very solid and has her priorities straight. Definitely riding with her for years to come.

Kill Anti Hero - (even tho AH is what I ride from dlx) she’s the snuggle bandit with herpes that’s camping across the PNW and downing 12 packs. She gets down and makes friends real easy. Upon kissing her you’re greeted with the taste of cigarettes. Her car is covered in pigeon shit too. Sorry but somebody has to die

glad people have been digging this thread.

I used to do one called put your money where your mouth is every april and it was about supporting small brands.

I was thinking about this topic in part because I was thinking about what brands deserve our money.

there's a few brands that have popped up a lot that im surprised by, I hope people are buying them!

personally would love:

Heroin
Scram
Blast
Black Label
Evisen
Anti Hero
Krooked
There
Tired
Meltdown (local brand)

half of those my local sells and go pretty good. only Evisen, Scram, Blast and Black Label they dont carry. i think Black label and especially Evisen can do well here. met some Blast and Scram fanatics too but not that much so those arn't that realistic.

probably more logical to switch those two for Polar and Hockey but not into those myself.
