Skateboard History Lesson

SneakerFreaker!

"They are for their time. It’s interesting to think that if they got their product right, they could actually be really huge now.

Yeah I don’t know, I just think when skateboarding died in about ‘82, they died with it. I remember in Skateboarder or Thrasher – they had a Hobie sale – five dollars for a pair. You could send away to this one liquidating company for kryptonite wheels for five dollars, decks for ten dollars. The death of skateboarding killed a lot of brands like that, I guess they just went back into their original business again."

Repeat after me. Learn from the past and do not repeat your mistakes!
