A company that distributes factory tape, trucks, wheels etc. aimed at new companies looking to set up. For example, if the company sell decks and want tape to give out with the decks. Or if they sell decks or completes and need trucks to go with the completes. Just aimed at supplementing their products, not for them to say it's theirs like some companies do.

Companies who purchase would also receive constant advice on marketing, sponsorship, costs etc. All would be professional and legit. Their companies would be supported and helped to grow by maybe even placing their site on ours for a small fee.

How does this sound guys?

thanks

I see your point, but any company selling China goods is bad really, and encouraging kids to sell them is even worse, the last thing we need is loads of kids selling China goods for stupid prices.

Why would companies buy from you and not from where you would be getting the stuff from?


And what Danny said.

Lol wtf, so you're trying to set up a franchise basically, and with a company that has no reputation so the license is worthless haha

This won't work, sorry :/ But theres a tiny chance it might if you actually made the products yourself

Sounds like you're just in it for the money, don't give a shit about fingerboarding, and that its a terrible idea.

China stuff sucks, not only would you be promoting it, but creating a needless middle man to those low enough to buy china stuff, and profiting off that. Not only is it full of lame ideals, but I don't think anyone would do it, at all.

I mean, actually, maybe you could convince kids looking to start up youtube companies to buy from you, but in the end you'd be doing nothing but negative crap for fingerboarding and I'd severly dislike you and everything your company would stand for.

I.e. do this and everyone here will probably join me in a collective GTFO.

i see your point, and it was on my mind too. But as i said, the main aim is to 'supplement' the companies inventory. I'm not trying to encourage people to claim the china products are theirs.

e.g if a company sell decks, but want to sell them in incompletes too( like redemption ) they can add the truck and wheels just to make it complete, whilst not claming it's there's.

if that makes sense...

My thoughts exactly. If you are considering selling China products at all that means you are most likely just thinking about turning a profit... I have nothing against the bajillion "companies" that are basically someone making 2 decks and saying they are starting a company but I hate seeing people passing off china stuff as Fingerboard Love... Anytime I see a legit company trying to sell VACHINA bullshit as "an option to get a fingerboarder started right away" or some other bullshit reason I usually lose any sort of respect I had for them. I've been personally bitten by China companies and they aren't worth the time or money to fuck around with.

If you love fingerboarding, support real fingerboarding companies so that fingerboarding can grow and continue to be as awesome as it is today. If people just keep buying china bullshit that money isn't going to go back into the scene and fingerboarding is just going to slowly die.

But that's just like, my opinion man.
