I'm a Berrics fan, I have been for a while, I don't skateboard much, but I would consider myself a photographer. I watch the berrics every day and when I saw the Berrics Unified video you put up I was excited that someone with the power to preserve skateboarding would actually do so without anything in it for themselves. However, recently i have found out that you are only letting shops be a part of Berrics Unified if they pay $5280 annually. At first I did not believe that you would do that at all especially the way you had portrayed yourself in the video, as a man who wants to preserve skateboarding, and not as one of the corporate pigs trying to corrupt it. I hope you are a man and reply to this E-Mail and give a good reason why you would say one thing for a camera and another thing for the shop owners that are struggling to break even because the companies like Zumiez make all the money.

you are using the most extreme example.
Try more like $120 per month. Much less than a penny saver ad.
Weekly ad. Hell, that's less than a school newspaper ad.
Don't try to twist things. $5280 is for a year of advertising that has
a value of $100,000.
$5280 is for a shop to advertise in almost 40 states, which they
have no reason to do if they don't have a mailorder or a skatepark
and want people to migrate there. The program is meant to be
most effective on the city and state level. $120 per month is not
an exorbitant amount of money for a shop to pay for advertising for
their city. So... is that MAN enough for you?
