Jordan Maxham and Sierra Fellers are starting their own Video Magazine

[Fastfreddy]

After reading the Jenkem article, this quote disturbed me:

Newer skate media projects like The Nine Club Experience and ETN struggled to sustain themselves by making people pay to watch their content. Why will iDabble be different?
"iDabble will be different because it’s as close to free as it can be. 30 minutes of content from your favorite skaters and it’s hosted by Appleyard. As people who have been skating for 20 years, we would gladly pay $5 for anything that Appleyard is going to host, and it’s not going to even be $5. To know he is going to be the one talking and being the Lance Mountain [former host of 411], that to us is worth $5 or $10 per issue."

I'm not knocking the idea, I'm not knocking the motivation to do so - I think the concept is fantastic - but as professionals functioning in the current economic climate that IS skateboarding, how can individuals have their blinders on so tight?

Best of luck- i mean that sincerely - I want everyone who has a cool idea to succeed, but to base your business plan around assumptions and an almost childlike presumption that things will just pan out is naive in my opinion.

Do kids today even know who Appleyard is? They should but they probably don't or don't care.

I do my best to dodge any video associated with these guys. Maybe they can do a clothing line and sell it exclusively at bowling alleys.

I agree, but to be fair, what were they supposed to say?  “Yeah we’re pretty sure this thing is going to tank in a few months.  We have no clue what the fuck we are doing.”

[Googan Christmas]

I’m gonna be positive about this one, I did love me a video magazine, and I like Maxham and Appleyard, so two outta three ain’t bad.

except for like, just about all other skate video content created these days that is actually free

[OrangeVHStapes]

I had no idea what to expect, I randomly start scrolling through the video and I see myself drinking a beer with my friend Richie Banks from like 5 years ago... That was strange.

[Monkey_Mcpott]

I'm confused. Is this going to also be streamed on itunes and that's whats gonna cost 5-10 dollars? Because to pre-order dvd for the first issue on their website says its 29.95 for 34 minutes of content. I'm all for exclusive content but when they are telling us that this will be cheaper that any other skate video I've ever bought I thought they meant the DVD which I cant think of the last skate DVD that's cost that much. Maybe Baker 3?

[CoMpLeMenTs4Uonlysometime]

They only made a few dvd’s, that’s why they are expensive. It has already been discussed in previous threads and jenkum.

Yessir. Tecate is far superior to Modello in my opinion. Pacifico after that then maybe... Hmmm, el presidente.

Jordan Maxham is a vacuous cunt.

Not that sold on the name but I like the concept so I bought the DVD and VHS cos' I'm a nerd.

[paraquat]

I preordered it wasted and forgot I did so. It showed up and I haven’t opened it.

[Bony cawk]

A video magazine in 2019?

[guest1]

I mean..at least it’s not a new board company.
