Why creating a topic to say that your brand is the best small brand ?

Never said it was the best, not at all. Just wanted people to post other small, skater owned brands.

just trying to start a thread by posting three vaguely indistinguishable companies you're probably affiliated with, and then not following up with any other content

The point is to post links and such for smaller, less known company's. And I'm only affiliated with one, the other 2 are just brands I support.

Fickle Boards are awesome.

Lew has been making videos on how he makes skateboards, which is generally kept pretty secret. He was saying that the dude from Penn Stix threatened to black list him from getting boards made if he started his own workshop. Fortunately he did anyway cause his boards are way better than Penn Stix (which are very good for factory made boards).

Speedlab Wheels are cool but I'm not sure that their product beats Spitfire F4's. Smaller and less commercial operations tend to put out better products but not always. Speedlab is more for bigger and softer wheels anyway.

Hook Ups and JK Industries. Yes I know everyone knows HK but it's not the behemoth brand it once was under Blitz. Everything is done solely by Klein out of his house. Sucks the prices went up because of hypebeasts buying up his shit but, it's all BBS wood and high quality material for his apparel.

What’s considered a small brand? Sales? If they’re owned by a larger corporation? I bet FA sells more than Darkstar, but which is the smaller brand?

Ha! These were Birdhouse reissue graphics. I've never had a Hookups board. I DO however, wish I would have tried some of those shoes. But also I understand 100% why you would think that lol
