Jeremy is the MAN. Conservation was the shit. Always made everyone feel welcomed in his shop.
I wouldn’t know shit about eastern culture if it wasn’t for Tron! Shaped my music and skating taste at a young age and I’m so appreciative of that!
Missouri skateboarding wouldn’t be dope without people like yourself Jeremy, thanks for what you do!
Jeremy is the most kind hearted, out going dude. His attitude is what made everything about conservation and his skateboarding in general, it’s awesome, he’s awesome. Love it, miss the shop man :( glad to be able to skate with him.
Jeremy is a legend. Thanks for showing people what they need, and thank you Jeremy for all you’ve done and continue to do.
Best shop owner ever
Conservation forever
Shout out Jeremy. Best dude best shop.
Also had a pair of loopholes that I bought from Conservation and I rode them for 2 years. They were sick.
Have skated with Jeremy over 20 years. Great dude.
He really is. Happy to have met him
Loved his shop. I was really lucky to move to springfield when I did.
yeah Jeremy! proud of you
I Love you Jeremy and I love your love for skateboarding
Great episode
I rubbricked and lacquered a ledge today with my 17 year old homie who found the spot, I’m 32 lol. This dude scours our area for spots and has gotten a lot of them going. He’s definitely a rare breed these days tho.
good to know there is hope for the youth
500 F was great, some classic shit on there.
The chemist who started Loophole did not create Formula Four. He went to work for Spitfire after Formula Four was on the market.
As a shop owner it’s a lot of work keeping it going! Been around for 40 years in Jacksonville Florida. But always it is about the community, kindness, and carrying about the customers.
The brands are always important and going direct with them will always benefit vs south shore, eastern, ocean ave etc.
But seen a lot shops in the area come and go. When i sell stuff I always push what I got more then anything but in the in always say if not what you are looking for go find it elsewhere when I get the one guy who is a bias skater so they can be the best skater they want to be if I don’t have it lol. Shops that have been around 20-30 years closed these last few years or even a few shops that were around for 5 years due to mad demand. We got 5 local shops left in town - taking all zumies = trashcan out of the equation lol, with 5 skateparks here . Well I feel like I’m rambling but god Bless the skate gods! 🎉
Dope Edit!!
i prefer dyed plies top and bottom or more, but i don't mind natural boards.
We have the nicest park in the state, but the younger kids are still dropping like flies. Even the ones who get good seem to quit in 8th and 9th grade.
Covid was super weird! I bought rubber gloves off the DOA SITE! 🤣
i ride mostly 8" or 8.25" trucks. i still have a bunch of 7.5", 7.65" trucks from the '90s, i still ride my 5.0 venture lows from back then.
The discussion of kids not skating anymore got me thinking. I wonder if the skateparks themselves make learning to skate too intimidating for alot of kids. They go to the designated area to skate and are presented with transitions and ledges instead of a parking lot or driveway like alot of people, including myself, started at. Its hard to start something if it seems like on day 1 you should be able to carve around a bowl when in all reality that takes alot of time and hours(probably months) of just riding around on flat ground and flat banks just to be able to really start trying to be able to do.
great point and I agree to some point. In my area, lots of the parks are not made for beginners, they don't have a good flow or space for people to learn. one of the newer ones every obstacle is in the way of another. That can't be fun to just mess around on.
That could be part of it. Skateparks are controlled environments and while it’s great for training and leveling up skill, they can also diminish a lot of the cultural aspects that are so alluring to adolescence. With so much other stimuli to compete with it’s almost like kids simply like skateboarding, but don’t love it because they aren’t as engaged by counterculture.
Edit: they skate, but perhaps don’t identify as skaters perhaps?
i don't mind zumiez. kinda rural/agricultural area here, so i don't think there's really enough of a scene to support a dedicated shop. they used to stock a few boards at bike shops and such in the '90s, but mail order was usually the way to go. zumiez is a good bridge for normies, and stock brands that someone who knows skate stuff would be able to find something they like. i get why they might not be great for someone who has a dedicated shop nearby, but i think they are a net positive overall. there are 3 zumiez locations closer to me than a skateshop
Always good when there’s no place to get grip
i like jessup. got bones reds bearings for years bc they're decent for price point, but i recently tried bronson g3s i got on sale for same price as reds and they're really nice. still haven't had spitfires.
I recently went back to Jessup. Min was too sticky for certain tricks
Always Jessup, l ride Modus bearings, the 15 british pounds ines, still got it since 2021,unbreakable.
@@Inkdrawing66 if you ever get bored try mini logo. They are reds with 2 shields and dirt cheap. Great bearings
@@deadonarrival2882 i've not had a bad product from mini logo, but i especially like their wheels and bushings.
