if they look them selves that defeats the whole purpose they want people who want it enough to make a vid and enter no offense thats what this industry needs instead of people knowing other people to get on teams and shit this keeps the people fresh and they want new faces in the industry

Yeah fuck that shit. I’ll rep some FS anytime. Fuckin Skatepile still sells Alchemy frames. That’s a fuckin skateboarding company trying to act like they’re all about us. We all know most skateboarders can’t stand our guts. So Boycott Alchemy skates and boycott Skatepile for that shit. Know who’s shit you sellin.
They may not now. But they did for a long ass time and dis is right after that story about the Moon frames came out of China. They’ve been rockin Alchemy for a long time now which means that they helped them get some money from our industry.

Just so you know guys Alchemy is a skateboard company first and foremost. They just started to make blading accessories and also they pretty much fucking did what the skateboarding industry does best to our industry. They steal. They pretty much stole the design for xsjado frames. Now they want to come out with a fucking aggressive skate so that the skateboarders can get a piece of our market and most likely use that profit to help bury us even further than they have.

People This is sick shit. If Franco Shades is so popular then perhaps it’s a guerilla tactic that they’re looking to do to get us in the lime light again. I mean shit, Bam Margera sports Franco Shade gear Thats big shit. If the world only sees them as a clothing company and we all know that it’s ran by bladers why shouldn’t we support them. It’s suppose to be support blader ran companies isn’t it. So what not everyone wears their shit. Rachard does. Haffey sports them every now and then. I say we should give them our love and send out our clips and enjoy. You guys act like if you had a chance to get sponsored by Nike, you wouldn’t take it. What have FS ever done that goes against us? nothing so we should support them.

Chadwick. Salomon is a complete sell out. Alchemy new aggressive skates/skateboards 1st. are complete sell outs. Kryptonics are sell outs, Pro Tec are as traitors as well.

It was posted on be-mag forums too (with the account of Arlo Eisenberg, who is the designer of Franco Shade if i’m not wrong).

Joe Navran Message from the forums (link):

So funny, I didnt’t even realize the date, truth of the matter is I posted on Mar 31.

With that said, I would never be that fucked up to make a joke like this. I have already received over 70 emails, some with video submissions !!!!

This is no joke, this is as close as you get to a willy wonka candy bar contest in our industry.

To the people who are wondering how we can do a contest like this given our current status in the streetwear industry, honestly I couldn’t give a fuck about any of that.

I have always said I want to blow Franco up and let it be known that stuff from our industry CAN get national recognition.

This is just a small step in that direction. Although we are not a rollerblading company anymore, we dont kid ourselves about where our roots are.
