my biggest fear in all this is that the guys who i enjoy watching, who are actually good at skating will get the boot, while the guys who are just marketable will stay getting checks putting out subpar footage.
kind of on topic...
i was looking at the bummer high catalogue the other day and i noticed they have way too much ramdom shit their trying to push. they got bummer high zippos and bummer high guitar straps which IMO is just not a good product to stock during this economy. shop owners and companies alike need to tighten their budgets and stick to things they know will sell(boards, hats and hoodies) and drop all that other nonsense until people get their feet back under them.
