That wasn't enough for too long. It eventually because an old boy's club of guys collecting money and cutting throats.

Every other owner cursed Rocco publicly and then followed DIRECTLY in his footsteps. Rocco wrote the rules in the modern day skateboard industry. The ironic thing is that all those guys who hated him just became a watered down version of him for the most part.
FIXED GEAR!
