Skateboarding Sucks

This article was printed in November, 2004 but we thought it needed brought to the attention of all the aspiring couch potatoes. “Thomas Paulin, CEO of Puzzle, believes the skateboard video industry is feeling the pain of online file sharing. Paulin posits, “Kids have begun to invest in this free {online} consumption, so they see skateboarding videos differently compared to the past. Everybody wants to see videos, but nobody is ready to pay for them.”

Kids… go down to your local shop and buy the videos if you really need to sit on your ass and watch them. A tiny bit of praise might be considered for Josh at 411 for making a different product with more shit in it and only available in real skateboard shops. What sux is… The price of videos from other companies will have to compete at those same shops. Actually… forget it all and be the media whore that lurks or be the skateboarder that doesn’t care if he gets anything on film.
