      @ Nike is a big evil corp though.... You're trying to make the argument into a false dichotomy, where I have to choose evil or evil. I don't have to do that, I can point out evil, say it's evil, and be correct.

      At the end of the day all company do the same thing nike! just had a bigger platform coming in to skateboarding and kinda toolkit away! From all the other company such as etnies , fallen, lakai , and many other company's did get is much exposure so when the new guys come in and get signed by nike because there so good who get exposure nike, so it takes away for other company's. Nyjah , luan , Shane , prod , Eric koston ride for nike!

    I was there recently to witness the heaven that is the new west LA courthouse. Stopped by there on a day of skating in Venice just to reminisce if you will only to find out that the place was completely renovated to what you see today. It was an amazing surprise and treat and cant wait to get back there. SOoooo many great memories at that place.

      Anyone who makes a company is in it for the money, that's how business works, nobody is making a company to grow skateboarding all these guys are trying to make money off skating some skaters and some business men it's all the same in my opinion

    • @jacemarteez
      @jacemarteez Před 9 lety +4

      Everything was different in the 90's skatings not gonna die at the rate it's at, street league and zuimez are just point less. I'm just sayin the only thing ruining skateboarding are the skaters creating "skate politics" between corporate companies and skater owned companies. skating is all about just having fun with your homies at the park or in the streets and no company is gonna ruin that. Unless you want it to

    Yeah, I hear a lot of older guys put Nike and other large corporations down for sucking the soul out of skateboarding but this is really cool. They are putting someone in charge who has their heart in the right place. If they keep doing things like this, I may buy some Nikes.

    • @estebanaisa8449
      @estebanaisa8449 Před 9 lety

    • @estebanaisa8449
      @estebanaisa8449 Před 9 lety +1

    • @Brqinstorm
      @Brqinstorm Před 9 lety

      *****
      Hating nike became "cool" so most of the things you see on the internet is bullshit.
      I am an emerica guy myself but to be real, my Romeros had the sole on the left shoe basically exploding after like two month (from the heel to like the middle of my foot it just separated from the shoe) and i might have done like two ollies in them, it was my "going to school" pair of shoes.
      And my on my reynolds 3 the sole on my right shoe was just randomly popping out (bad glue i guess)
      Basically outside of the G6 wich comes out as one of the best skate shoe ever (and i heard the figgy's are pretty good too) but outside of that emerica isnt that much better than anything nike does.
      I've had a pair of Nike, the Satire and they skated good, felt really good and really the sole was so damn durable I liked them so much that I bought a pair of canvas to chill in.
      People have no argument against Nike outside of "oh they arent from skateboarding they want to destroy it" nigga please why is nobody hating on Adidas and Puma then ? and technically, Converse is the same too.
