I do understand what is goin on but theoretically we are still ”losing” a brand name, y’know. one side of this deal is amazing having 1 big strong brand but this now means that USD will probably get rid of there less used skates such as classic thrones and legacies so it will be a massive shake up in the industry but could be good !?! who knows time will tell.

Skelmo & everyone else not understanding – READ!! They wont be making any more DESHI carbons – why – because they will be USD carbons.

Deshi Carbon = No.
USD Carbon = Yes.

Can your brain wrap itself around that?

Skelmo you are exactly one of the retards i was speaking off. I clearly said they wiould be making USD carbons. I think its funny that you said they ll be making carbons with a USD log. dumbass, the carbon was just a powerslide skate witha deshi logo on it.

this is a dark time for the industry indeed, i remember when i had i my louie zamora dk1s and how happy i was. but this merge makes me sad and now that i think about it what will become of our industry in a few years, were will it go? all the original people i used to skate with have moved on started families gotten full time jobs etc… when i first go into rollerblading i never knew how much i was going to fall in love with it. but it seems like companies, people, and the love for skating all move on eventually. and i don’t mean to rant but this is’nt fare that rollerblading is in the shadows it is’nt fare that pros get paid so little…… it just is not fare…… so you tell me where change leads to

I think its funny how many retarded kids out there did not know that deshi was a usd sub entitty. Aslo yes theyre will be no more Deshi Carbon, and you should get them while they last. But OF COURSE theyre will be a USD carbon. Dont be fooled by marketing points kids.

actaully, they did no spell rumours wrong.

“rumors” is the Americanized version of “rumours”. just like “color” is the Americanized version of “colour.” most other english speaking countries use the “OUR” suffix.

People need to consider the financial side of this decision. Alot of business’s around the world are suffering in the current financial climate and the rollerblading industry is no exception.

Aside from the spelling errors in the release (proof read for god sake), the people working behind the scenes at the conference would be fairly intelligent people and would not make decisions like this without carefull consideration.

Consoliodation of business is an important part of change and progression and ultimately makes a business stronger both financially, and in terms of the products it manufactures.

This still leaves us with six core boot companies (Xsjado, Valo, USD, Nimh, Razors, Remz) which, in my opinion, is plenty. Remember that a BMX still looks like a BMX, and a skateboard looks like a skateboard, no matter what brand. At least with roller boots we have not only colour options, but each skate LOOKS different too, so i think we are lucky that we have a bit of variety in rollerblading.

Remember, although 1 less brand in our industry may sound like a step backwards, it can also be a step fowards. Rollers who used to skate deshi will now have to choose to skate another brand, which injects cash into a company that would have otherwise gone to deshi. Thus that company makes more money as more products are turned over, which means more money to pay pros a wage, increase the sports awareness and increase product range.

I have crapped on enough. Peace.

YOU ALL NEED TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO A SPORT WITH NO MONEY COMING IN TO IT ! MAKE THE EFFORT TO BUY NEW SKATES INSTEAD OF TRADE FOR THEM, WEAR SKATE BRANDS FOR CLOTHING AND GET OUT AND GO OT COMPS AND EVENTS. THE CONFERENCE BOUGHT UP BRANDS THAT COUDLN’T STATY A FLOAT OTHERWISE. HOW COULD DESHI(WHICH WAS PRETTY MUCH ALREADY USD) JUSTIFY BEING ITS OWN COMPANY WITH ONLY ONE BOOT? ITS SAD BUT ITS REALITY, THERES NO GROWTH ON THE HERIZON FOR BLADING

USS… dumb ass huh? It wasn’t an issue of “USD” manufacturing the next carbon skate. It’s about the name change, x’ing team riders, etc… Seems like something shady is going on.

I call bullshit… are they saying rat-tail has their shit together and they don’t? They have several different brands, managers, etc. and there’s no need for a merger/name change. Maybe it has something deeper they don’t want to talk about. Maybe by X’ing the Deshi name it’ll kill all old ties with Zamora and Spizer. Why can’t they have one team manager for both? Does it really matter what skate they ride? Come on USD… you have how many boot models and you’re saying that you need to merge Deshi blah blah blah. Bullshit! I’m going to wear my carbons down to the ground and get some remz.
