![แฉ [2/4] 11 ก.ค. 67 ‘ขวัญ อุษามณี’ เผยความจริง 16 ปีที่แล้วเกิดอะไรขึ้น? | GMM25](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/K4pXnUiObbk/mqdefault.jpg)
In Africa we have a saying "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
As someone who breaks a lot of boards, I simply can't afford to buy 2-3 full price pro boards a month... If shops stopped selling reasonably-priced shop boards. I'd probably have to stop skating.
I was having the same issue until I discovered the Powell Flight Decks. They cost almost double what a normal deck cost but are totally worth it. You will not break it and you will feel a new freedom getting to skate without the constant fear of breaking your deck
@@drewphifer4684, I was going to say the same thing. Both the VX and Flight decks pop lasts longer, they don't get soggy, and between the two brands there's plenty of shape styles.
Skate shops are just grocery stores. They sell other companies products. This means that every skate shop that ever existed was and is a middle man. They purchase wholesale and then raise the prices to make a profit. We live in 2023. We all know about the internet now. Simply buy your products from the source online…
Thats your problem. Who told you to buy 3 decks a month???? lol
@@Baghuul Because I need a deck to skate and they're always breaking?
Im pretty sure a lot of shop owners have mixed feelings about Doms advice. 😂
Pretty sure yuto is new wave legendary stuff
Mara Santo Domingo and multiple others...
I think there is a bunch of new talent and rawness but its cause we are all here right now so we don’t see whats in front of us as much. We need to acknowledge the greatness that is in front of us! If you are alive you are in the middle of carrying the torch!
All cap . Support the "pro" brands for what? So the money can go into those pockets . No ! Shop decks and local brands only where skateboards can be affordable and you help the community not brands that don't do anything for you. I sell boards for 40$ so it's affordable, im here to kill corporate greed because no one should be deprived of skating because they can't afford it !!
Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. That's how the saying goes.
Greed maybe? 🤷♂️
Support small brands. Pros are cool and all but big brands dont deserve blind loyalty
Ok, so,
1. Carry Nike and shoes
2. Carry expensive streetwear items
3. Carry pro model skateboards primarily
4. Shop boards are ok, but shop hats are best, or shirts
5. Local brand hats and shirt sell well and advertise the store best.
what a cool fucking guy, you’re awesome dom.
Wtf did this guy even say? He just contradicts himself over and over.
We don't even have a skate shop where I live, and it's an island so I can't just drive to the next town, I'm forced to buy online.
Gettin Radd & Fuggin Bustn support local skate shops’ online websites. I know some have online stores and they ship nationwide.
@@locomotive5A I just buy direct, half the skate shops out there are cannibalizing themselves to make a buck anyway, and like I said I don't have a local anymore, not gonna give my money to some shop I don't know.
They need to do another podcast cast on this subjects...and also salaries of different pro skaters. Always curious on where those skaters are today from the 90s 00s.
I own a skate shop...its without a doubt a money pit. The industry is a mess. Most skaters see skate shops as charities
interesting, where is your shop located?
@@bronco_b closed down bud. Toxic industry, glad to be out of it.
Yup
Skate Corp brought to you by McDonalds, Monster and WalMart.
I’ll keep buying my shop boards. Board brands aren’t the same they used to be. Pros don’t represent the board brands as much as they do their shoe sponsors or other high paying sponsors.
Definitely! The shoes are much more important as far as what the kids care about. Boards can matter but shoes moreso
They laugh but kids on Instagram ARE pushing skating forward. It's not a bad thing. There is a lot of old heads resisting change vibe in this one.
I'm 40.
100 % this dude doesn't really know what's up. In order to understand skating you have to constantly follow it and be with the young people. If you lose that connection you are done as somebody with a valid opinion.
The point is there are fewer mega stars in skating. And Instagram has had the effect of diminishing the skate video part. People post everyday little clips and we all watch them but then they get forgotten about. Nothing is memorable anymore. It was the skate video that would make tricks something we remember forever.
@@BlackJacketJones When you look back you still remember video parts. There was never more good video parts then today. There is so much is hard to watch it all.
87-92 was the best for BMX freestyle and skateboarding...Matt Hoffman, Ron Wilkerson, The whole Powell crew, my fave Ray Barbee
I commented on neens page saying he should sell his board graphics on t shirts for people that don’t skate anymore but still love it
These days a lot of the money for pros comes from other places like shoes, energy drinks, trucks, wheels, and with most pros having blue checks on their ig they won't have too hard of a time finding something they're interested in to do an add for, and sadly I have to say if there were no pros then skateboarding would still thrive in my opinion. And also shops that survive from selling shop boards are keeping skateboarding alive so the argument that the pros are keeping it alive is bull shit. If they go out of business from trying to just sell pro boards then that's bad for skating cause it's one less shop and one less place to buy pro skaters boards.
How do you guys feel about skate shops back dooring and rigging and cheating in raffles and stuff like that ?
Fuckin awesome
Fuck it who cares
“The greedy pig gets slaughtered” like uhhh dude wake up and look around you. Greedy pigs DONT get slaughtered in life. They win.
I buy from local shops. I buy from core brand. They did my fav before I will be forever thankful. 🎉
New skater.... KADER, cj collins, tyshawn, ishod, Alex midler, jamie foy, and don’t even start on all the littler kids like Roman, lazer, Zion, all the wood ward kids
Because nowadays it seems people care more for park skaters, or competition skaters, there’s no space for icons anymore… it’s too robotic. I like street skate, and video parts and living in Europe, I see way more creativity around here and “unknown” skaters that are ripping, but not in that competition circle. I used to dream about having skate parts and a board pro model…kids nowadays think about SLS and have a sponsorship with Red Bull or Nike… not saying it’s wrong, but leaves less space for urban legends I’d say
Damn keep up guys
I really thought he was wearing a Marduk shirt 😭
It's sad to say, but it's game over for skate shops vs. online.
Not sure about that; shops need to find their niche, imho focusing in building communities. You can't go skate online, you don't meet people in the same way. You may be right though, small business vs the big machine is a lost war anyways.
Majority of shops will go away, but there are certain shops that just know how to adapt and will continue to do so
All my local shops were gone probably around 8 years or so. It was super sad to see but it seems inevitable really. Dude sounds like he’s grasping at straws talking himself into how skate shops are gonna turn it all around when most are already gone
The local shops in my hometown closed about 5 years ago. I moved away but when I came back to visit, I had to go to the vans store to buy a deck. Now I just shop directly from brands online.
Skate shops can exist online too, DUHHH
Talk about coming up with shit on the fly lol
I'm the opposite. Locally made affordable boards available through e-commerce and brick & mortar..
And there’s this really cool shop called drifthouse in cocoa beach Florida it’s super sick and don’t sell shop boards but lots of shop clothes and they hook kids up to get them back to buy more stuff
What about pro shop boards made to support local talent?
Want to be a successful skateshop dont open next to tactics they will copy everything you try and do
Maybe it’s just me, but it sounds like he doesn’t want local shops to run local- he wants Zumiez.
Naw ... He asked for advice about capitalism and he answered. Simple.
Wrong. The core brands WILL go away. Supporting a core brand doesn’t make sense when the brand or distribution changes ownership/management.
How does he feel about ripping off band logos?
Which band logo did he take?
HipHopBeatSource That shirt he’s wearing is a Marduk rip-off logo
Most companies do it.
Skate companies have been doing that for years, and companies been doing it to skaters, it’s the cycle
Pdrew I bet you skate shop boards 😂
Half the time im enjoying listening to this guys insight. The other half of the time Im only listening to his old head bull shit hoping he buys me a round.
Bro what about lil durk and kader bro
I feel like chris joslin and nyjah are really the new icons
Yes it does bro butter sells 333 sells shit a lot purplewax
Now we have sky brown "woman's" skateboarding 😢
This is understandable but you can’t tell a entrepreneur how to make their money.someone who only cares about their business is gong to going push that more than someone else’s brand.
The Nine Club, The Berrics, and Instagram have ushered in the rise of skateboarding. The business models are going to change drastically but it's only going to get bigger.
Theirs a lot trapland pat lol it’s not rock it’s rap bro and idk Jojojones he skates with tony
You know what advice id give. Stop charging soo much for fucking anything. They suck. And last time i was getting trucks the dude qas like are theese guna be used? Im like what bro? Hes like are they gunna see any action? Im like... Yea thats why im buying it soo i can ride it? I been skating for like 20 years lol the shit was lile offensive and i looked down and figured ohh its cuz im wearing hookups and hurley? I look like a poser buahahah.
Is fuct still a thing?
Don't think so. I had a green pair back in the early mid 90's that I wore the shi t out of, looking back on it they were so ridiculous lol.
I think there is a skate shop in Easton, PA that sells it!
@@aidanmandude I'm from PA so that's good to know
Is it me or has roj been acting weird ... kinda off putting and combative . The 69 got to his gead
BlitzBurg Media he’s always been very slick mouthed
I've noticed this as well. He has been bickering with Eldy quite a bit. Maybe he's burned out on doing the show so frequently or always having people in his house.
I agree, it did get to his gead
@@the6ig6adwolf eldy is a prick thouugh
Skate survived with a handfull of people having fun, it doesnt need the pros at all. The big events and the whole big entreprise world need them, not us. WTF is this guy talking about?. Buy local when possible, go to the street and/or DIY and shops before pros always.
I usually watch all your videos all the way through guys, but this guy I just don't like. Couldn't make it past 58 seconds
Why? No judgment, just wondering
@@MrPDTaylor the last video with this guy he bashed shops selling blanks and shop boards. His view is pro decks are what people have to buy even if they can't afford it
I completely agree with you. You can tell he has an agenda and he's really just talking about this from a skate company's perspective. Not the consumer or the small skate shop's. Also, I feel like Raj is not buying into his BS either just by the way he's looking at him.
Really 20 ico s right now???? There are 20 riders just on Nike SB that are icons
whats that marduk ripoff shirt hes got on
Is skateboarding starting to end? The olympics for skateboarding just already started in Olympics in Tokyo if it’s going to go on!
Skateboarding is just starting it's prime.
Baja Malibu Surf Report Whose Phelps, Michael Phelps? Lmfao
Smh, dont do shop decks because the poor board brands...? Lmao. Do these board brands care enough to support shops exclusively and not distribute through company online stores and zumies? Gtfo
Idk man, I feel like this guy is talking from an old heads perspective 🤔 there are sooo many good skaters out there, each individual has their own favorite that they follow on Instagram/tiktok/TH-cam/facebook
BUT THEY R NOT IMPACTFUL COMPARE TO LATE SKATERS THEY HAD MORE REACH EVEN WITHOUT THE INTERNET THINK ABOUT THAT THESE NEW SKATERS R NOT THAT INTERESTING
@@whosmarc4702 they’re all the same. It’s becoming cliché. Blame Lil Wayne.
I would rather keep the local skate shop open for kids to have a place to buy what they need to skate more, than spend extra to support multi million dollar corporations. Those skate shops need that extra money. The pros have multiple sponsers that pay them. We keep our skate shops open. Dont listen to this dude. He has an outdated mentality.
What multimillion dollar corporations are you even referring to dude? Are you hallucinating? Someone please explain to this guy that skateshops love to stock Nike and Supreme.
Not my shop you won't find that shit here lmao
Skateboarding is dying
Funny, I heard the same thing in 1981, then again in 1991...and probably a hundred times more since.
@@MileZeroFilms funny thing is it's true dumbass bc there aren't any new AAA skate games anymore to make younger kids interested .
