WHY DON'T DO IT?
Skateboarding basically started when some guy took roller skates and nailed
them to a piece of wood. In those days if you wanted a skateboard, you made
your own. A little while later, small companies started to manufacture skate-
boards, but none of the sporting goods stores wanted anything to do with them.
This is a big sporting goods/toy store. There are
millions of stores like these, usually owned by a chain.
You can go to any one of these stores and buy a croquet
set, a basketball, or a new batting helmet. As more
and more people started skateboarding, the big stores
saw a trend and started selling cheap skateboards.
But they still wouldn't carry good equipment.

Now that skateboarding is becoming a
mainstream sport, large sporting goods
companies and their shops want a piece
of the action. The only problem is that
these companies don't need the hard
core skate shops that supported skating
from day one. So what can you do? You
are ultimately in control- your choices of
what companies you support determines
the direction of the industry. Right now,
skateboarders are still running things-
don't you think it should stay that way?
companies that make the products grow too.
These days some skate companies are pretty big,
but none are even half as big as the sporting
goods manufacturers, and no one has the same
widespread distribution that they do. And they're
gearing up to use that distribution right now.
