Ive been following this its interesting. I own a fuck load of skate videos and if you look carefully you can kind of see whats going on in the industry its pretty funny sometimes.Same with skate mags aswell. Im just a average skater but ive always looked away from the limelight, the "whos hot" kinda thing and watched people like Trevor Prescott,Lucian Moon,"Static" kind of skaters, the "invisibles" basicly. I like to buy from and support smaller companys from very small to sort of semi small like Western Edition. And then now Magik and soon Turf. If they make good boards,a good minded owner that actually skates,the skaters on the team are respectable and each have there own mind and arent money hungry then im into it. I feel happy buying from them. Dwindle etc just feel like big scary corparations with these dudes in suits on the top floor of a sky scraper with a white board planning ways to get impressionable kids to buy boards and try desperatly to get every last bit of money out of skateboarding. Ive bought my fair share of pro models just a few blanks in between when I dont have much money but ive been buying smaller companies boards for the past 3 years.The dwindle ad was stupid because people buy blanks because they dont have as much money not because we because of one of the stupid reasons they put in there. I like all the people on here you know what your talking about and its good some of you are putting it into a action which is definetly going to change skateboarding for the better.It has to change it feels pretty bad right now.I just mean the industry, skateboarding will never change for me as long as i have my mind and my body and a skateboard.Sorry for the long post just wanted to have my say, now ill zip it.
