Ignition is Closing (June 2011)
quoting Leo Donhauser / Ignition Owner:
About a year ago, I decided that after 10 years in this sport / business its time for me to move on and discover something new in my life.
Ever since I’ve been looking for possible solutions, how Ignition could continue without me. Unfortunately nothing came up that I could really believe that it might work out.
So in the end, I decided that it would be the best if the shop will be closed, but keep the option to re-open it one day.
As we still have to clear our inventory, I thought I will write a more detailed text (including a small documentary of the shop history) once everything is really done and concentrate on the business part for now. [...]

wait, what? damn .. thats sooo bad … ignition is the only shop here in germany that is really in search for direct contact to the customers… thats too bad …
May 1st, 2011 at 7:23 pm
…this is so sad. Ignition has always been the better alternative to Grindhouse. Even though Grindhouse is in germany too I´ll support hedonskate from now on!
May 1st, 2011 at 7:36 pm
ach du scheisse….
I’ll then have to buy from hedonskate too, not feeling the guys from Grindhouse…
May 1st, 2011 at 8:00 pm
great idea to increase sales!
May 1st, 2011 at 8:04 pm
… sehr schade, aber verständlich…
viel Glück !
May 1st, 2011 at 8:10 pm
neeeeeeeeein!
…mit rollschuhen lässt sich numa nich genug geld verdienen.
schade,sehr schade!
May 1st, 2011 at 8:18 pm
my favourite skateshop… ;(
May 1st, 2011 at 8:19 pm
So sad. RIP Ignition :( You did some amazing things for our sport. Thanks for the many,many years of support. You will be greatly missed.
May 1st, 2011 at 8:22 pm
oh fuck ey…..
May 1st, 2011 at 8:32 pm
please give me a reason why you don’t support grindhouse?
no other shop puts more money and efforts back in our sport than grindhouse. grindhouse supports every competition and does more for the scene and our sport than any other shop could.
ignition has always been smaller and due to that it was easier for them to get in a direct touch with their customers! if you live in germany, you should support grindhouse from now on!..they help to keep our sport alive, not just in germany!
they are full supporters from ROLLTOGETHER since day 1 and they care more about you than you think! if you wish to have a better contanct and communication, they have to stop everything beside their online shop and fully concentrate on your issues and problems! or maybe they are able to hire another assistant for customer care, but that would just be possible if you go on and support a german shop that cares about you and our sport!
i really liked the whole concept and the shop, i call most of the riders and employes of ignition friends and i am really feel a pity for them, but i wish gagi and leo just the best for their future plans…
think about it, or hate on me…i think you’ll chose the last option anyways..
May 1st, 2011 at 8:41 pm
back to X-WORLD SKATESHOP
thats your alternative i case you dislike Thosten “moneyboy” Rüffer
May 1st, 2011 at 8:48 pm
@mail l.: i think the people who are writing that shit are only the few grindhouse haters in germany! you´ve written on your own that grindhouse was at every time the bigger shop and that they have many customers! i think that most of the ignition cutsomers will change to grindhouse. whith some exceptions: “the haters” (…) grindhouse is a great shop an i like what they do! all in all grindhouse will draw benefits from the closure. but all in all i think still that it´s sad that they will close. it was a great shop with its pros. like fore example the direct contact to their customers. good luck to the ignition dudes!
May 1st, 2011 at 8:48 pm
Maik – isn’t this the wrong topic for this kind of advertisment?
about rolltogether: you guys should not have sold out to one shop. i told you that before, and i’m tellin you now. i’m still VERY disapointed that you did not let any other shops support this project and contribute its share to it. (and speaking of ignition, we usually contributed a LOT to whatever we supported, because if we supported something, we believed in it).
and i’m not starting a discusson here, this is my one and only response to you and this rolltogether topic.
May 1st, 2011 at 8:55 pm
no other shop had more credibilty.
May 1st, 2011 at 8:56 pm
im really sorry about that leo but i was kinda upset, that this really sad message was used for a bad talk about grindhouse instead of saying something about ignition!
and wasn’t this the wrong topic for bad talk about our decisions about rollTogether?
as i just said, i just wish you the best for your future and i hope that there will be a solution, that is able to keep ignition alive!
May 1st, 2011 at 8:58 pm
shit oider, mehr fällt mir dazu ned ein ;(
May 1st, 2011 at 9:07 pm
Terrible news! Oh dear…waiting for more details.
But hey, GH is not an option…not for me, maybe for the kids, but I can not take GH seriously…money machinery, TR is pf%S”(/§! and the whole setup of the shop is an embarrassing joke!
They do a lot yes and they are big, but I have no sympathies left for GH, nope sorry.
I’d rather give small shops a chance! Even for balance issues!
Don’t fall for the pr by Maik L. !
oh oh oh
May 1st, 2011 at 9:11 pm
Maik, wir waren Kollegen seit der Factory!
Ich habe dich von Anfang an immer überall hingeschleppt..!
Finde das jetzt echt mies von dir, dass du mich in diesem Post erwähnst und den ganzen alten GH Kramm wieder rauspackst.
Du solltest die echt ma nen paar Gedanken machen was du wann wo schreibst!
May 1st, 2011 at 9:11 pm
A real shame, I’ve been a frequent visitor and customer at Ignition for years, it’s sad to see them go. Whatever you’re going to do Leo, I sure hope it brings at least as much satisfaction as Ignition did.
May 1st, 2011 at 9:12 pm
….das ich diesen Tag noch einmal erlebe hätte ich nicht gedacht. Ich hoffe das ist nicht das Ende von Ignition, aber ihr seit einfach DER beste Shop Deutschlands und werdet es immer bleiben. Danke für die Unterstützung für die ganzen Events und für den Support der Szene.
Peace Andy
May 1st, 2011 at 9:19 pm
very bad News :(
May 1st, 2011 at 9:19 pm
not gonna give my money to GH, gota find other options…
May 1st, 2011 at 9:22 pm
ich versteh einfach nciht was der scheiß hier jetzt soll mal ernsthaft…ich wünsche euch nur das beste und frage nach einer rechtfertigung dafür dass in einem ignition related topic statt über ignition nur schlechtes über grindhouse geschrieben wird!
das ist absolut sinnfrei und heizt dieses ganze anti irgendwas gelaber nur an!…
wirklich ich finds absolut unfair!
darf hier also nur schlecht über grindhouse geredet werden, das ist in ordnung…
sobald jemand versucht da was ins rechte licht zu rücken wird man direkt angeschissen…das was ich gesagt habe war in keiner weise etwas gegen ignition, ganz und garnicht und absolut überhaupt nicht!…vielleicht wurde ja etwas falsch aufgenommen, aber ich finds absolut unerhört, mich jetzt so anzufahren, weil ich als repräsentant einer firma, versuche diese nach verunglimpfung ins rechte licht zu rücken!…
trotz allem möchte ich nochmal deutlich machen dass ich es scheiße finde, dass es soweit kommen musste das deutschland und europa generell ein weiterer shop verloren geht! und besonders fies, dass es ignition ist!
nun zerreisst euch ruhig das maul, macht ihr ja eh schon..
May 1st, 2011 at 9:23 pm
that’s really sad! I liked the shop very much and ordered there very often, can’t believe it’s not going well enough to be continued!? Hey Leo who did you ask to continue the shop? There has to be an option!
May 1st, 2011 at 9:25 pm
Es ist sooooo schade. Ignition war und ist für mich der Shop meines Vertrauens.
Best shop in the world!
May 1st, 2011 at 9:26 pm
For me Ignition was the ONLY shop oriented on rollerblading and not on money. Hoping they will not close an that they will continue!
Support !
May 1st, 2011 at 9:27 pm
Maik fick dich!
…..Ich sag dir das auch noch ins gesicht!
Freu dich auf den tag!
May 1st, 2011 at 9:28 pm
YOU MUST BE FUCKING KIDDING???????
May 1st, 2011 at 9:32 pm

Freu dich auf den tag!
ich kann nicht mehr haha

May 1st, 2011 at 9:36 pm
ich bin wirklich mehr als traurig jungs und ohne witz, jeder ist seit der nachricht mehr als enttäuscht in unsere szene.
ignition war der ansprechparnter für erwachsene skater in ganz europa von
tag 1. ich muss nur dinge erwähnen wie das igntion bier, die bar, die halle, winterclash… einfach alles. jeder cent wurde reinvestiert in UNS skater.
ich bin euch sehr sehr sehr dankbar und hoffe auf ein comeback
eines tages. zu viele gute dinge sind durch euren shop in deutschland passiert.
es ist mir bis heute ein rätsel, warum jedes paket direkt am tag nach der bestellung egal ob aus bad reichenhall oder berlin bei mir daheim war.
ihr seid schneller als amazon und die beratung ist unglaublich gewesen.
wir werden euch vermissen!!!
und ich muss mich nun auch einigen vorrednern anschließen und mir ne visa karte besorgen :)
ignition will always be the best shop, service and team in europe!!!
May 1st, 2011 at 9:37 pm
Von nun an also X-World-Skateshop und Hedonskate!

its not about the fact that grindhouse will draw any benefit, IT IS NOT, absolutely not, ITS ALL ABOUT THE FACT THE OUR SCENE LOST ANOTHER SHOP!!!!…why does everyone think, that i start hating on anything? that is the whole problem as soon as anyone start to use his name on rollernews he becomes the center of hate!
just because i skate for grindhouse does not mean i hate on ignition…why are you guys so ignorant?
ive been to the ignition shop pretty often and liked it very much, as the shop was awesome…i hate it that everyone thinks, there has to be hte between two skateshop, i mean c’mon we all do the same thing and love it…
May 1st, 2011 at 9:45 pm
OK das ist echt schade!
Werde denn wohl auch auf XWD und Hedonskate zurückgreifen…
Bin mal gespannt wer den Umsatz von Ignition abfangen wird!
May 1st, 2011 at 9:46 pm
That’s too bad! Thanks for the good times in the Valley! Best of luck with whatever you do next Leo.
May 1st, 2011 at 9:49 pm
right now, i am absolutely ashamed to be a rollerblader!
please “knowmaik” write me an e-mail – maik@rolltogether.de – and you can show some balls by let me know who you are, so you can tell me what you think about me… :)
May 1st, 2011 at 9:55 pm
was ist den das hier wieder fürn saftladen. nur gezoffe und dumme anmache. ich glaube die szene ist einfach nur arm und scheisse wenn ich sowas lese und wenn schon in so einer kleiner szene so viel hate ist dann fangt doch an zu skateboarden ihr ficker
May 1st, 2011 at 9:56 pm
ich könnte kotzen wenn ich das alles lese.
May 1st, 2011 at 9:58 pm
was hat maik denn falsch gemacht wenn ich mal fragen darf?…
versteh das grade garnicht, weil er leo und gagi doch quasi nur glück gewünscht hat, wieso regt gagi sich denn da so auf?
sehr schade für ignition auf jedenfall
May 1st, 2011 at 10:08 pm
sunday night, sissyfight
May 1st, 2011 at 10:08 pm
what did hedon ever do for the german szene? why would you support a shop from whereever instead of one in your country, that supports your local szene?
May 1st, 2011 at 10:10 pm
Igntion war echt gut und war für mich ganz weit vorne. aber ich müsste lügen wenn ich sagen würde ich habe ignition 100% unterstützt denn wenn es bei grindhouse, xwd oder hedonskate ein besseres angebot gab dann habe ich halt dort gekauft und wer jetzt mal ehrlich ist der wird mir zustimmen und sagen er hats genauso gemacht also streitet euch hier nicht weiter rum welches der bessere shop ist denn ich denke sowohl grindhouse als auch ignition unterstützen uns so gut wie es ihnen eben möglich ist!
schade ist es trotzdem um ignition…
@maik hör mal bitte auf fast jeden beitrag zu kommentieren das hier ist das internet und die leute werden egal was du sagst ihre positive oder negative meinung beibehalten.

john, ich will einfach nicht, dass jemand den ich gerne mag, wie gagi zb. ohne den ich vielleicht nichmal mehr rollen würde, etwas falsches über mich denkt!
bei den hatern ist es mir egal, die anonymen leute jucken mich nciht..aber mir gehts an die substanz, dass sich leute denen cih ncihts böses will, angegriffen fühlen!
May 1st, 2011 at 10:19 pm
Sad… But it says a lot about this industry…
May 1st, 2011 at 10:20 pm
D-sucks !!!! it really sucks… the D…
May 1st, 2011 at 10:34 pm
what the fuck… alter wenn ich mir hier so alles ansehe denke ich gehts noch? anstatt zusammenzuhalten weil wir nicht so viele sind, kommt sowas…
1. dont feed the trolls
2. let the haters hate
und wenn ihr soviel dampf habt dann geht lieber hart skaten und lasst das alles nicht hier raus -.-
ein guter freund hat mir gesagt dass ich mich mehr in die szene integrieren soll… aber wenn ich mir manche komments hier auf rollernews so lese, dann frage ich mich ob ich es wirklich machen sollte, oder doch eher nur mit meinen leuten i-wo skaten gehen sollte… X_X
und jetzt mal zur sache
tut mir echt leid wegen ignition. ich habe da zwar noch nie was bestellt, aber ich verstehe dass wir jetzt einen shop weniger haben werden. und evtl. auch weniger promotion. das ist schade. ich wünsche trotzdem alles gute und viel erfolg!
May 1st, 2011 at 10:36 pm
what the fuck, kautabak. i don´t care, gib´ mir mehr.
May 1st, 2011 at 10:41 pm
Verrückten Mongos!Lieber Schnauze halten und zusammen rollen gehen.
Mister Maik hat auch nichts falsches gesagt weshalb ich die Reaktionen nicht nachvollziehen kann.Seid lieber mal froh das ihr Säcke Grindhouse habt.
Das mit Ignition ist natürlich sehr schade und ich wünsche den Leuten nur das Beste!
Wir sind doch die letzte Bastion von Rollschuhläufern also zusammen halten!

just to make this sure so far.
Gagi @ ignitionshop was not me.
who cares, this is the thing about rollernews that every one can be everybody without the confirmation of the truenes.
May 1st, 2011 at 11:25 pm
Mais arrêter de parler en allemand c’est énervant!
May 1st, 2011 at 11:43 pm
the fact that maik l. as organisator of rolltogether chose to let the event only be supported onesided by grindhouse is why he may be criticized.
May 1st, 2011 at 11:53 pm
Wish you all the best , Leo and Gagi and all the staff.
Hope to still see you guys arround.
peace!
May 2nd, 2011 at 12:56 am

May 2nd, 2011 at 2:29 am
We Respect all decision you make, hope you find what you looking for in this world other than rollerblading…, To All Germany Rollers out there…support all shop no matter that shop big or small, One Love…
May 2nd, 2011 at 3:34 am
When i recieved the email this morning “ignition closeing” i really was shocked! :O , i just didnt believe that Leo would let go of such a great shop as Ignition is , ive been buying from them since 2008 and 99% from them because of their service, with great communication and honesty, allways giving customers Fantastic deals and even sent me free set of frame screws with No postage cost!.
I wish you(Leo) would consider finding a successor to manage the shop weather it still include a shop front in berlin or not, I am 100% sure you can have belief in your fellow rollers and current staff weather they work there on Casual , part time basis.
I have also bought from GH and Thorsten has been meeting my customer satisfaction most of the time, although delays have happened, this isnt a isolated matter, they dont have the great deals allways but what they do in other area’s is support small and big competitions with alot of prizes , running events , and looking after their riders that consist of a variety of people from other countries as well as local talent..
support every shop , spreading our bussiness that all shops in europe and other places need is and will help.
under no disscussion
shops that put the effort in and prove them selves as a reliable source for the best service and blading gear is worth supporting in what ever country your in.
BUT if you have a local skate shop, SUPPORT them , i know how it is not to have a shop , eg sweden doesnt have one but has had a select few try provide local support for their scene because of great collaboration. ;)
the guys at Hedonskate are great as well, M.regan does great work , and manages the team and serviceing customers well.. personal experience.
May 2nd, 2011 at 4:49 am
wie gehts weiter mit Risemagazine??
May 2nd, 2011 at 6:03 am
what a bummer. I know it doesn’t mean much to US bladers, but we’d be equally disappointed if one of our premiere shops were shutting down.
May 2nd, 2011 at 6:07 am
ignition alwas gave a super customers support and client binding which grindhouse who is to big does not have it is good you support the scene with comps butt still you dont have any binding this is just constructive crytisism ,
to bad ignition is closing
May 2nd, 2011 at 6:53 am

May 2nd, 2011 at 8:46 am
na geh so ein scheiss!! schade dass es so weit gekommen ist! Ignition (bad reichenhall) war der beste shop!! hab dort viel gute zeiten erlebt mit euch jungs! Danke an leo, gagi, seppi und alle anderen für die Zeiten als noch alles cool war :) und dem Leo viel erfolg mit was auch immer du jetzt anreissen wirst!!
cheers!
May 2nd, 2011 at 9:51 am
I LIVE IN ENGLAND AND THE ONLY PLACE TO GET THE NEWER LINES WAS ORDERING FROM IGNITION, ALWAYS RELIABLE AND CHEAP! D:
Looks like I’m just gunna have to start skating naked…
May 2nd, 2011 at 10:22 am
Ach Gottchen nee, nicht einmal das Präkariat hält noch zusammen, Ich fordere hiermit alle adeligen und Visa-Goldcard-Besitzer auf eine Gilde zugründen um das ganze gesindel aus unserem Sport zu vertreiben. Ich habe beireits 712 USD Dominik Sagonas mit Brokat verfeinern lassen und werde diese beim ersten treffen am 16.05.12 im Schloss Charlottenburg bei Martiné und Frühlingshäppchen verteilen lassen !

May 2nd, 2011 at 10:48 am
Well this is a really sad news but let’s just hope Leo will find himself in some good other business and that he will have luck and satisfaction in it. Ignition has always been suporting rollerblading in Europe and out of it. I never bought anything from other shops others than Ignition but that doesn’t mean I hate other shops. I can only say, thank you Leo, thank you Ignition for helping rollerblading for all the nice things you did for it. And yeah, I still belive it’s not a RIP, it’s just a time off :)
May 2nd, 2011 at 11:01 am
Thanx for the huge support, it really means a lot for us. This is Leo’s decision and i truly hope that one day we will come back stronger, in the meanwhile we will continue doing what we always did, skate.
May 2nd, 2011 at 1:06 pm
That sucks. Ignition was sick. Best of luck in whatever you do. Hope it comes back some day.
May 2nd, 2011 at 1:27 pm
I am not sure but I think Ignition was the only skate shop that invest in building a skate park exclusive for rolleblading !!!
How my name says ‘sad news’ …
Have fun skating then !
May 2nd, 2011 at 2:08 pm
rip,.. and thanks for all the work u put into the sport!!
succes with your new plans!
May 2nd, 2011 at 3:05 pm
I just hope some other shop comes along quickly to compete with gh, not saying anything bad about gh though. Heard they give alot to their riders and know for a fact that they endorse competitions all the time. But if they have a monopoly type deal then ofcourse prices are gonna escelate.
its all very sad, but Leo seems like a really smart guy so im sure the bike deal is gonna be better for him. Few rollerblades, everybody bikes ^^
May 2nd, 2011 at 3:41 pm
trop triste … C’ette monde !
May 2nd, 2011 at 3:43 pm
I’m from the UK and I did all my shopping with Ignition for a few core reasons.
Their stock was up to date and competitively priced.
Their site and customer relations were simple and easy to deal with.
They didn’t have any controversy, hate or general bullshit around them. They just did what they loved and did it well without stepping on anyone’s toes or pissing anyone off.
Definitely not going back to Proline, they give less than zero percet of a fuck about rollerblading, Loco’s stock is limited and never what I’m looking for and their prices aren’t competitive. Ordering from the US would be a huge waste of money, Slaptap is like a shittier version of Loco…
Is that drug dealer still running Fear and Rolling out of that crack den in Newport?
Grindhouse it is then, or maybe I’ll just make my own stuff out of used tissues and empty take out boxes.
Ignition, reconsider… please?
May 2nd, 2011 at 3:43 pm
Danke Leo für alles was du gemacht hast! Und weiterhin viel Glück in dem was du machst!
May 2nd, 2011 at 4:04 pm

Hi everyone,
first off – thanks for the positive feedback – it means a lot to us!
As i wrote in the first press release – i will write a more detailed and more personal text, once we’re done with the sales.
i will also have a recommendation for our customers on where to buy in the future and why…
But let me first get this warehouse empty ;)

May 2nd, 2011 at 4:31 pm

May 3rd, 2011 at 2:43 am
Shit man…if I lived in Germany I would just buy ignition and it’s property from Leo. I speak German a good little bit and I’m moving too Austria in the southern state of Styria but not soon enough to buy Ignition from Leo. THIS FUCKIN SUCKS!!!
May 3rd, 2011 at 8:52 am
when you move to austria let me know! im from salzburg ;)
May 3rd, 2011 at 1:42 pm
Not that you’re going to say, but Ignition, what would you sell for??
May 3rd, 2011 at 10:15 pm
jep damn bad news!! leo and ignition, wish u all the best and thnx for ur support!!!!!!!! whole europe should thnk u for that…
(but i have to leave coment for those fckn haters… u damn $%&/ u are just jealous. what do u think why gh is so long in the business?! I buy my shit for over 6 years now in germany at ignition and gh. both shops make their business nearly perfect (with a few exceptions! both shops!!)… thats my opinion. they do a lot for our lifestyle!!!!!!! better be thankful and happy about that tons of money that gh gives back to the people. btw why you ever use this forum for such a discussion? about cars and money. just fckn jealous. no respect to the real meaning of this thread. so go play with ur barbies but please stop skating u pussys! ..i will still buy my shit at gh! for sure!)
May 4th, 2011 at 12:26 pm
Wish u all the best ignition hope u come back soon :(
to WTF :
no respect for the real meaning of the thread? u think about maik l. right?
u have to choose another shop when ignition shut down there doors and its good to say that it should not be grindhouse
reasons fot that are sooo many but the most important is that they suck so much that it would be better if they disappear.
Gh is such a joke
and im really waiting for leos recommindation where to buy in the future.
it will be obvious not gh thats for sure
May 4th, 2011 at 4:32 pm
Whoa! Ignition is closing. Is a really great shop by good people that did good for rollerblading. it is hard to believe that there will ever be another shop with their level of support. These guys have heart for rollerblading. Best of luck to all involved
Hmm also… “Gh is such a joke”, “GH sucks”, “GH should dissapear” I hear lots of mindless noise, but no arguments as to why Grindhouse is so evil? Can someone sensible please explain what’s going on with them?

they don’t like the gh logos, gh does not support rolling, thorsten has got porsche and audi, … THAT’S ALL NAZI-LIKE BULLSHIT! i also read something like this by ignition skaters. that’s one reason why i prefered grindhouse as my favorite skateshop.
GRINDHOUSE IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST SUPPORTERS IN EUROPE!
grindhouse supports 40 contests a year and you can find grindhouse as sponsor on many contests, events and dvd’s.

yeah man rollerblading sucks there’s no money in it.Corporate America doesn’t care about you guys anymore.Neither does regular America.Even If you opened up your own skatepark you wouldn’t make enough money to live.I know someone who did it in one of the most highly populated area’s in the country 80 miles from nyc.If you can’t make money there your not making it anywhere.And on the real the atmosphere was a little different back in the day.Everyone wanted to be down now nobody does and runs away.wake up you can’t do that many tricks, rollerblading is for little bored kids growing up wherever.
