You can find Consolidated stuff on Swedish/Norwegian webshop Junkyard right next to Rip’n’Dip, Nike and all that other stuff that you’d think they wouldn’t want to be associated with. «Support Your Local Skate Shop» decks and all that but the shop doesn’t even have a physical store as far as I know.

Probs could do a day of research but this is a great resource wondering if there are other Brands like Consolidated that make decent wheels and trucks but absolutely hate Zumiez and online big box Mall sell out culture. That will not sell to big online shops or mall shops but only to INDY skater run Shops.
That that kind of attitude is in their mission statement. I'm old and when I began skating I was treated like a young Hell's Angel now all I see is Nike this and Red Bull that , and Independent Trucks and Spitfire wheels at Zumiez makes me fucking sick to my stomach. Are there any brands that will not sell out to the mall or big online warehouses?

edit ,,,

I dont know how in the holy fuck this got confused for me shitting on Consolidated Their rabbit giving another rabbit his foot for luck is gonna be my open/shut sign on my shop door , fucking Love consolidated don't be regular I'm way more Jaded than you but I can still fucking read Im praising Consolidated not shitting on them for fucks sake read before you reply

Last two boards have been scumco. Made in pa, collab with local shops and make hand dyed veneers. https://www.krudco.com/products/scumco-strike-anywhere

I actually like some of their graphics to be honest. If they toned down the edge-lord stuff a good bit and dropped their kooky chinese made slip ons, I think there would be a big improvement. They're just too on the nose with some of their stuff. I'm not gonna snag a deck that says "Mall Chains Suck" because I don't really care enough to have that as my graphic.

You used to be able to buy their boards in Dicks Sporting Goods. They also ran a campaign promoting shopping at local skateshops, then the next month they started one that read along the lines of “fuck your local skateshop” where you could print out a dealer application and buy direct from them. Also lol at promoting the Don’t Do It crap while their number one rider rode for Puma and they hung their banners in the warehouse. The biggest hypocrite company in skateboarding
