The skateboarding balloon is going to pop soon...just like the stock market.....
FYI- The US stock market (DJIA) has been setting record highs over the past few months and is still over 14,000.
You don't know much about inflation do you? Also the Dow is a terrible representation of the overall economy seeing as it only looks at 30 different companies.
But back to the original point, I think it would be great if there were a skateboarding "balloon" but that is very unlikely. If there were any signs of trouble or decreased growth the big companies like Nike would already be out.
Actually, this is the result of the skateboard bubble having already popped. It's more like the housing market than the stock market. The only difference is that when the housing bubble popped everyone who lost money on their house didn't try to make more money by buying a bunch of cheap rental houses and becoming landlords, the way all these skateboarders with slashed paychecks are starting sunglass/griptape/whatever the gimmicky fuck companies.
Nike is still in it because their share of the market is bigger than ever, and they can reduce expenses and still profit. You sure as shit didn't see Windermere leave when the housing market went to shit.
Lil Wayne is in it because the rap bubble popped before the skateboarding bubble. He probably would have preferred reality television, but that bubble popped sometime after the rap bubble and before the skateboarding bubble.
