Colin and his brother are my favorite skaters, I really don't give a flying fuck about hissponsors or whatever, as long as he shreds.

There are a handful of businessmen who have seen the potential our market has, and are positioning themselves to take a big cut if and when that potential is realized again as it was in the '90s.....but they won't risk investing to make it happen, they're just gonna wait until the work is done by someone else and then reap.Originally Posted by RollerDorkMofo
George Powell is one of them.
it's not issac's fault that rollerbladers are idiots and don't know how to run companies and can barely keep their industry afloat. it's not his fault that his boss isn't an idiot rollerblader, but instead an experienced businessman who understands that IF (that its a huuuuuuge "IF") these dipshits can pull this thing together it's gonna be huge and he can profit massively from it. and its also not issac's fault that his experienced businessman boss is being smart by not being willing to throw a bunch of money into an industry where 80% of the companies go out of business because they are run by retards who may or may not have finished high school.
at least he is supporting comps, pro's and magazines.
EDIT - and making the best wheels on the market.

Don't get me wrong, I respect Isaac and I know he is doing good work for rollerblading.....so did Arlo.
Was it that MLK bullshit? Dude deleted my response, no explanation, so I deleted him.
no it was something along the lines of "eulogy needs to die already" then some other dumb shit.

yeah im pretty said i cant quit all my sponsors now too
p.s. Eulogy is the best wheel company in the industry, and Isaac supports every damn event.
why get wheels poured by people who dont know the best way.
you wouldnt go to a tackle shop to get golf clubs.

Undercovers are pretty nice.
Fuck you don't see other pros crying about not getting what they deem as a proper share. If there is no money in the industry, and there are a million kids trying to get sponsored for free product, I'm fucking sorry but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Get a back up plan. Or take some fucking initiative and do or create something rather than thinking the world owes you a salary because your good at fucking around on wheeled boots. How many professional Yoyo players do you think are out there bitching about how they can't live on their Yoyo salary? It might as well be the exact same sport based on the amount of participants. Honestly. Sounds like some major spoiled kid syndrome here.
in all fairness, the industry is really over-saturated with flow and am riders.. the money that is there is spread wayyy too thin. companies need to have higher standards and stricter limits on who and how many kids are getting free shit (and then giving it to their friends so that they dont buy anything either). there isn't a lot to hand out to pro riders, but there is potentially more available than what theyre getting.
ha my thoughts exactly!
oh you just got free boots. youre killing the shop!
I was speaking of the Razors thing from a while ago but these were meant as compensation.
Touché anywho, fucker!
So was there a stab at juan burrito in there?
Otherwise this is one of those threads I'll just sit back and read.
Mr. Kettle not all rollerskaters want to be career criminals aswell.
Ive been riding eulogy wheels for maybe a month if that not even much street and they are already chunked and worn to shit! I do not back eulogy being the best wheel company cause my stock Nimh wheels lasted longer.
FACE Wheels where the best wheels ever 2 pairs of those lasted me almost a year.
And to the people talking shit on Jon Jenkins, Atleast he and Revolution are doing stuff to get an outside eye on rollerblading. They take alot of time and pride into their 90sec edits and are an amazing thing for rollerblading right now and nobody else is doing anything close to matching that. You think people are gonna pay money for "ONLINE SECTIONS" hahahahahahahaha get real.
which wheels were they? every set ive had has lasted me 4 months or more.
and nobody is hating on Rev, they're the greatest. people disagree with what Jon said about Eulogy.
