They only carry Kid Robot, LRG, Adidas, and Nike.

And they used one of their riders names, sent his footage to LRG, got boxes of product from them, and then put that shit on the shelfs and sold it without him even knowing.

It's all Actives in my 'hood.

This looks good. I've never actually been there and it's sort of far and they probably don't sell decks under 10", but it's still the Mess's.

City Boardshop in Las Vegas for sure. They have a good team and always are down for the community. Not to mention the talent that has spawned from their team. Matt Ball, Ragdoll, Sean Eaton, Vinny Vegas, and new buck Matt Dipaola.http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=39419827&MyToken=caa738ae-f324-493d-a3bc-326b3369a8ac

if you work in a shop you aren't a pro skateboarder, you're a pro shop assistant.

yeah man. you start a successful local brand and you had parts in the static video and other videos but if you decide to work at a shop for some extra money or to just hang out with the kids a little more often that means you're not a pro skater, you're a pro shop assistant  ::)
