Just saw that wild wild stuff
I still love uggs.
OK well let's throw this story for a loop http://skateboarding.transworld.net/...n-the-park-dc/
Mike Mo went too DC apparently....

check the pic
DC is just too sick. As someone who tried many 'extreme' sports coming up, DC has always provided me with the gear I needed.
Skateboarding specifically: what a roster!
The biggest positive is that we may seem some amazing skatevideos coming out, I mean I haven't cared about DC since Stevie left
omg you suck
Well i feel like killing my self...Quote:

why the hate for other people? id rather hang out with lesbians (with small "l") than you narrowminded, homophobic and shortsighted dudes in threads like this.. you keep dissing nike as the only capitalistic brand out there.. its beyond stupid. nike is no worse than lakai, es or any other "skate" brands. they are all in it for the benjamins. is nike worse because they have succeded in the moneymaker business? nope. if you gonna follow though with this line of reasoning, you ought to move to the hills find a cave or smtn and stop using cash alltogether. if not, shut up. (btw, im the first to agree with the foulty monitary system, but singling out companies as culprits is way off target.)
thanks eflix, so much bullshit and irrelevant hate.
lol demz, try to be honest, or i can try to be insincere too : "if you understand business you won't say that"Quote:

GO SUPPORT SELFISH skateboards...nevermind, forget about it... skateboarders don't know how to run a business :p
Slam and eflixx are on the money as this honestly is what 90% of these comments would have you believe. If you'd rather support another brand, by all means please do so. Just don't make the inaccurate statement that company X is more about skateboarding than company Y, especially when it's painfully obvious that company Y enjoys a good following amongst REAL skaters (not just fake skaters).Quote:

I don't think anyone's being confrontational per se, I just find it perplexing how you can make sweeping assertions like the following:
I'm glad that we can all freely express our personal opinions (respecting the humble guidelines on Fluckit of course). So, to the other side of the coin, regardless of who specifically you are referring to, the people below are real skateboarders who perhaps, just maybe, like Nike Sb:Quote:

These are living legends from the past mixed with some of the future of the art form. I think we can all agree that Nike (the UMBRELLA corporation) has had some atrocious/egregious findings against them in the past and that is not something to be ignored. However, for any company to sell ANYTHING, there has to be a demand for their product. If America didn't want drugs, columbian/mexican drug cartels wouldn't be shooting and killing ppl in order to supply demand, and that basic economic principle applies the world over.
Is it sad that mom and pops stores may have to close down? Yes, much like it's sad that Netflix eliminated Blockbuster, iPhones replaced Nokias and Miranda Kerr replaced Heidi Klum :cool:
Evolution.
Eat or be eaten.
I <3 Skateboarding.
Simple

your right.
lakai was not created by two legends of skateboarding...
"if you understand business you won't say that"
your right.
skateboarding to nike is business...
"dude wears nikes so he obviously dont know skateboarding."
i have no idea what some dude thinks...
my opinion is about a company.
"I do have a problem with Nike as a company. That being said, I support their right to be a company in a free market and utilize their billions of dollars freely in whatever subculture they like. However, personally, I DO NOT support them in skateboarding."
"i dont understand skateboarding"
i have no idea what some dude thinks.
my opinion is about a company.
and thanks for the asinine attacks.
ill take my idiotic opinion and enjoy my cave.
well all be living in caves by the end of the yr
;)
Yeah obviously Nike is in it for the money but they have good product. Got a pair of the koston 1 lows this christmas, and in my 7 years of skateboarding they are by far the greatest shoe I have ever skated, out of the box they were ready to skate no breaking in necessary. So I guess that makes me a bit of a hipocrite but they make good product.
yeah the part aboutQuote:

you're not sharing an opinion... you re saying "i am right, you're wrong and dumb". This is not how you run a discussion.
I understand skateboarding because i know it's an industry and every company plays his role and support skateboarding in different ways. Some companies bring technology, others bring authenticity, others a mix of both... but they re all here to make money and at the same time they make the whole skate culture live
Man i love EA.but i wish they loved me :(
I skated with Lewis Marnell back in the good ol' days a few times.. I feel so proud.. /sarcasm.
Isn't he on DC (late)
