What does it take for a NEW, or less established skate company to earn your money?

you can get this impression a lot easier if they're wearing a kilt...
i like good quality at the bleeding edge. i can be a sucker for a good marketing program (knowingly) because i can appreciate a clever ploy.

design, performance, cost, and real drive to provide skater with the real goods.

I still rank tracker and abec 11 as the business models to pattern your business after.

ie cookie cutter products from other sources with this months graphic need not bother. I will go straight to the source for the blank version most every time. give me something with substance, and I will get the real mccoy.

I've got to first notice that they exist, then notice that they're making something thats either a "better mousetrap", a novel idea, or a better value than what I've already got. Then it's got to be REALLY easy to hook up with them to do a transaction. Miss any one of these and they might as well not be in business.
