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.

Please enlighten us then great one...

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.

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 see what the issue is with Issac working for / with Powell - Eulogy is a separate entity he owns. Issac is one of the most dedicated people in our sport, supporting TRUE rollerbladers who deserve to be paid such as Dalnas, Paz, Franco etc, the list goes on. His ability and skill with creating bearing technology / bearings, and urethane has led to Eulogy being by far the best wheel in our industry. It's not like he goes home at night sniggering that he is a skateboarder taking rollerbladers money, not even close. Far as I'm concerned nobody can say a bad word about Issac and Eulogy he supports contests, people and yeah just had to put my 2cents out there.

yes, go look at jon jenkins status im not sure if he cleared it or not because he deleted me after I put him and others in line on facebook earlier today.

[jakeordie]

Don't get me wrong, I respect Isaac and I know he is doing good work for rollerblading.....so did Arlo.

yes, go look at jon jenkins status

Was it that MLK bullshit? Dude deleted my response, no explanation, so I deleted him.

[r.s.]

no it was something along the lines of "eulogy needs to die already" then some other dumb shit.

[Tra]

.

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.

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.

Aspiring pro rollerbladers need to take some lessons from the gangster-rap game . . .

Slang drugs, gain street cred, stack stacks, all while rollerblading. Then jump into the pro rollerblader game while still maintaining your lucrative side hustles, knowing that you can always make major moves on many different levels if necessary. Launder money through the industry. Quit your bitching.

Mr. Kettle not all rollerskaters want to be career criminals aswell.

[Charlie Hustles]

And that's where they fucked up. They should be out there hitting licks too. Got to get this money, man. Fast and easy. Then just chill 99% of the time.

Murder for hire. Shima would make the illest assassin. Ninja style. Get this loot, Shimanator.
