blank board debate!
Off Top...Pronounced with an Umpty...So whatever and shit...call it
whatchu want... shouts out to A Crew da Illa. Here's my attempt at
writin' or somethin' mane....puttin this down for that Toebock shit,
son...I'm already drawing a blank and I haven't even written two whole
sentences. Fuck it...I guess that means that it's easy enough for me
to run my mouth without thinking, but when it comes to actually
putting thought into what I say, I suck...just ask my beezy. So, with
that said, here comes some bull ass shit.... I have recently been hearing a lot of chatter about some sort of blank
board debate. I don't know what there is to debate, but then again, I
haven't really read anything on the controversy.
Here is my uninformed opinion... Supposedly, companies have been linking low board sales to the
increase in blank and shop brand boards being sold. Shitty...I mean, I don't know what to say....sorry? Personally, I'm a broke ass shit-bag skate rat. I live with my mom. I skate everyday....whaa
whaa. Anyway, I ain't tryin' to spend $59.99 on the new
"Aging-Man-Am-Turned-Pro-One-Photo-a-Year-Milk-A-Paycheck-So-I-Can't-Even-Get-Flow"
graphic board once a week. I have been riding Mini-Logo's for
probably the past seven years. 8"x31.875" K-12..that's my shit.
What's wrong with that? Sure, maybe the wood isn't as good or
something...but how would I know? I spend my money on food, gas,
mini-DV tapes, strippers and other shit. The only time you see me
with a graphic board is after a homie kicks me down one...and then I
just trade that shit in for a Mini-Logo and some wheels. I'm trife,
but I don't think that I'm ruining skateboarding. Fuck it, if I did
skate graphic boards my shit would probably be so fuckin' bangin'
though....whatevs. Seriously though, what the fuck? Are companies
saying that if you can't afford Jordan's you shouldn't be out on the
court playing basketball? I hope not. All that I'm saying is that
you gotta do what you gotta do. I think that Terry Kennedy had a
board graphic that put it best, "Hustle or Die." If companies want to
survive these days maybe they nee to start being more creative or some
shit. Lower board prices might also be a good start, but whatchu
thank?
