it seems he stopped the dang company because it was gradually going away from what Mindgame was about and he could no longer manage it and decided to create something new.

He’s a promoter and more important a marketing director. That’s what we do. We promote whenever we have the chance. I agree with shane to let people know about what he’s doing and where he is. If you really want shane back then set up a paypal account for mindgame and make sure that there’s enough money in it to have him re-open the company and help it stay open for good. If not then, don’t complain that the man is simply trying to feed his family.

Shane didn’t close mindgame cause of what some kid said.
Think about it. Shane’s product were the only ones being sold on the black market in china. His are also the only ones that were being made against his wishes. Mindgame was a big name for videos and wheels yet more companies came along with big name riders as well. Xsjado came along and even though he sold out all his skates on pre-orders it still wasn’t enough to keep the company afloat. Xsjado was in need of major money, and mindgame as well. His company went broke due to expense. Like a lot of our companies. It’s just so sad that a company that acually produce good products had to quit cause our industry isn’t big enough right now to support our own people.

I think it’s great to hear what actually went on behind the mindgame thing, I was so sad to see it go, my favourite brand for sure. Good to hear that things are moving forward with Xsjado again.

Shane seems like a really nice guy, I think he’s done a lot for rollerblading

oh my god, how can any of you slate Shane Coburn, he’s done more for rollerblading than the majority of people in the industry, the only thing he needs to say is explain what happened with Latimer and Xsjado when powerslide bought them.

umm.. they quit because what some kids said? all i read on the net is about how good mindgame are/were. “But people have a way of institutionalizing things”, i guess this is kinda true tho.
