Consolidated Skateboards catering to small Skate Shops


Consolidated Skateboards is lowering prices to the small skate shops. Other companies and distributors need to get on board. The big sports stores won't be around if the popularity of skateboarding ever slows down. It will be just like it was in the early 80's and early 90's. In the early 80’s, when skateboarding had slowed down considerably, Bruce Walker from Florida (owner of Ocean avenue distribution) traveled the nation spreading the word that skateboarding was not dead. He helped many shops stay open when times were bad and even helped new shops open. (info from Ocean ave). If skateboarding ever does slow down again, the sports stores will be gone and the big skateboard companies will be begging the small skate shops to buy products. Consolidated is looking to the future to keep the small skate shop open and keep skateboarding alive. Thumbs up to Consolidated Skateboards!!
