an Lesbians
lol
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"
what do you guys recommend ? support sole tech ? lol... PAS is not helping skateboarding, he's just making money. Do you really believe his "one pair, one tree" bullshit ?
GO SUPPORT SELFISH skateboards...nevermind, forget about it... skateboarders don't know how to run a business![]()

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).
There seems to be this mentality that all pro skaters must be struggling hobos who must wear worn down shoes/gear by 'core' companies and living in shoe box apartments while trying to make enough to feed themselves and support their skate love... (smh)
HNY everyone.

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:
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
