Assist Skater-Owned – Skateboarding Saves #TechForGood
It’s actually unlucky that I’ve to go these lengths, however I really feel that we have to face the truth that the Skateboarding Trade has turn out to be extra centered on the greenback than ever.
I by no means thought that Skateboarding would get this massive and mainstream, and I’m not even gonna entrance…
I fucking hate it.

It’s loopy, I miss being hated on, we embraced that shit. We had been straight villains again then. Everybody hated us that was above like 25. We had been misfits, nevertheless it wasn’t on account of us being unhealthy apples, it needed to do with the ambiance we grew up in.
Living proof, as 14-15-year-olds, me and the homies had been requested to destroy an deserted automobile by the man who had firebombed one the week earlier than.
I suppose on this given week my man didn’t really feel as much as the duty, so he relied on us.
So this motherfucker presents us a 30 pack of Bud to fuck this automobile up. Like sufficient to be faraway from the road. I suppose he actually didn’t like deserted automobiles trigger dude didn’t even drive.
This was in Philly on Torresdale Ave at round 5 pm outdoors of Moss Playground. #legendarymosskids

The place I grew up it was a blessing to dwell with each dad and mom. A variety of us had been outcasts from the beginning. I certain as fuck know that I used to be. And I certain as fuck perceive that I nonetheless am.
Whether or not we had been simply broke, had a fucked up household state of affairs, or no matter, we knew we had that one bond by means of Skateboarding.
So after I see people who don’t symbolize what Skateboarding is all about carrying Vans and Thrasher, it truthfully makes me like these manufacturers much less. Loads much less, like I’m not going to fuck with them. Truly, I’ve stopped fucking with them for fairly a while now.
Skateboarding will lose its substance and all the things that makes it nice if we don’t help the visionaries behind each single Skater-Owned model that has EVERYTHING that they want apart from the MONEY.
Be a part of this journey to help!
I’m a person with nothing to lose.
I simply wish to assist Skater-Owned Manufacturers, construct long run relationships, put money into these manufacturers and people, assist these manufacturers and people, turn out to be household with these manufacturers and people whereas working the place I need, after I need, how I need, coherent as I need and most significantly, SKATEBOARD at any time when I need.
Skateboarding is actually a drug.
My finest good friend and I at all times point out “getting that itch” to skate.
For me, that itch can turn out to be melancholy, anger, and nervousness.
I gotta do that for me to try as a human. And I don’t give a FUCK who will get in the way in which of that.
Good Employee Bee < Good Human
I’m gonna finish my little rant there, however I do know that the true ones really feel me.
With that, I carry you the mission assertion of the LinkedIn Group I created to assist Genuine Skater-Owned manufacturers which might be struggling on account of people that I don’t think about Skate boarders.
With the rise of Company Skateboarding, the small Skater-Owned manufacturers and outlets fall to the wayside, not on account of their very own faults, however on account of monopolization & privatization.
This effort is designed to assist any Skater-Owned model by means of our Free Platform and have Whitelabel Providers for individuals who want greater than what our Free Platform presents.
Pricing is honest and based mostly on income.
As I at all times point out:
