It’s almost like…. Skateboarding should just be for fun? When I was a kid something that stuck with me big time was an older veteran skater at my local said something to me like “it’s not about going pro, or being sponsored, getting free stuff, or anything like that. The goal is to find yourself a job that allows you the free time to still have the ability to skate on into old age… just doing it for fun.” That shit always stuck with me. And I’m happy that I have a job that allows me to still be a skater and I still love to skate 20 years later… skateboarding doesn’t owe anybody anything- it’s just a fun thing to do.

As long as anyone he works with don't get labeled a "suppressive person" it really shouldn't matter (as being in contact with a SP would get Aaron labeled a "potential trouble source" and that could easily lead to Aaron being labeled an SP himself. Aside from maybe having a little more rules than usual and Aaron pinching pennies so he can tow the line and not paying people more I doubt it really affects anything; I also highly doubt there is active recruiting going on and that Aaron does that solely through leading by example. On the other hand I wonder about people who left (not counting people with controversy like Fetty of Carlos) because they feared getting label "fair game" by the church or just they respected Aaron enough to not want to get him in trouble as he can get demoted, heavily interrogated, or even put in jail or sentenced to hard labor among other strange punishments.

I 100% agree. That's what drew me to them originally. Lance and Aaron at the skate park randomly meeting up with friends or new kids, just doing tricks and teaching or trying out boards people sent them via mail. It all felt organic and fun. The warehouse was cool for the first year because it was something new, but the videos lost that fun organic vibe quickly. They turned into productions and felt predictable because it was always the same people. There was no longer a camera pan to see some random skaters reacting to Aaron riding and crashing on a viewer made board. Instead it was just the same crew. I lost interest in the channel after a while because it felt like I was viewing the same content over and over again.

Seeing everyone i watched as a kid leaving or quitting is an insane feeling. I'm trying to start a company myself along with some close friends and it's scary to think about what happens if this thing we sink all our time into doesn't work.

Very insightful! Your story of owning a warehouse/skatepark is so common, and it resonates with me and many other skate-entrepreneurs. I love your insight of using KZread as an additional revenue stream for business owners. The skate industry is at a very interesting point right now because it seems like the sport of skateboarding is booming, but so many skate shops and indoor parks are closing, along with so many pros being vocal about "not making money from skating". We definitely need more revenue streams to continue to grow our community. In addition, we need to have more videos like this to educate us skaters to build a sustainable businesses that lead to attaining assets and not grinding it out on the hamster wheel. Thanks John for bringing light to this tough subject that all skaters should know about. 🤘🤘

Hey John, I hear your thoughts on having this youtube only be about skateboarding a bit limiting, my advice: what about creating more vlogs? This then could allow you to not be limited to only skateboarding, but also add in life, reflections, and more. You should feel allowed to be a human being (not a movie character that revolves around one thing). I think we'd enjoy it too :)

MUCH LOVE BROTHER!!! 💕💕💕

You can do anything you set your sights on, we believe in you and I know this is a skate channel but you should show us your new passions too if you want to :) I'm sure real fans will care about what you care about.

I started skateboarding at 38 because of you guys, learned to Ollie before I was 40 because I knew I wouldn’t ever do it after

SKateboard industry is hurting pretty bad. You say we arent charging enough for skateboards, as a company owner who tries to keep prices low, I can say we are charging plenty. The issue is that the production cost of the wood (not the boards but the wood) is just above that of 2019 pricing. Since 2020, everyone took on the inflated pricing and have held rather than dropped with a push of "well, its time to increase". The $70+ price tags for decks added into the bad economy has begun killing the industry and is holding it with a choke hold.

Powell will still reign Supreme

When I first learned Kyro was into Scientology I always figured it was a matter of time before it would bring about his/his company's decline and eventual downfall. If you're not a huge Hollywood star eventually you'll be putting 110% of your attention, effort, and money into Scientology and everything else will take a backseat to it.

the us is just in a fight or flight mode. The mental conditioning since Covid has been tough. I walk up to ppl at the skatepark and they’re afraid. Kids used to teach me tricks and kick it, things are just changing socially. Skateboarding will have a resurgence if we get another modern renaissance when people can actually feel free. I think the United States encourages self preservation and skating is a risky sport to take on. I’m only speaking from my own perspective and definitely still see cool ppl skating, but economically I can see why people would stop skating

Actually real. I went back to my park after 6-7 years and its all graffitied up, the few skaters there all had headphones on and stayed in their own circuits. One dude actually made small talk with me but instantly left the park, went out 50 meters into the grass to sit a bench and smoke a cigg. Like jesus christ you could just tell me to smoke in peace id leave ya alone man. Felt like I was interacting with a bugged oblivion NPC. 10 years ago Id remember so many locals from the skatepark thatd id see some 15 year old kid 2 years later at a grocery store and it was nice too feel a sense of community. We had this badass security guard that was super chill, some new yorker guy who was always the life of the park getting all the cliques together and setting up fun stuff for us to do. "yo lets setup this trash can and all do tricks over it back to back" While he could barely ollie a 2 stair dude was a legend cuz he loved the sport so much. We are in weird times brother

Reuniting the OG KZread skateboarders for a game of skate would be crazy !

I’m not a skateboarder; just a scooter rider with a skateboard, which I love having and experimenting with. It’s the friendly and supportive skateboarders at the skatepark whom helped drive me to try skateboarding, and if skateboarding wants an area to grow into, then they have to look at every BMX’er, inline skater, scooter rider, and Razor scooter kid as potential future skateboarders.

things that have been around and will continue to be around for a long time (skateboarding, art, the stock market, etc.) has ups and downs, and we're just down rn. the next big change in skateboarding will come eventually and it might go crazy

I'm so happy, u are addressing the situation! Your opinion matters so much in the sk8n world.

As someone who started doing cardisty (like skateboard tricks with a deck of cards) when I was in my late teens now that I’m older I feel like I’m torn on spending time doing adult min/maxing and my heart isn’t in it like it was. sometimes I’ll pick up some cards and what once gave me joy now can cause depression. I’d say my friends went through the same and the cardisty community as a whole just aren’t the same too much struggling to grow more massive each year like it did in the past wasn’t sustainable and you over flood everyone. I think with all hobby’s like this it needs to be strong then weaken for awhile while that strong generation adults then they have kids get nostalgic for it and they teach their kids and those kids bring it back the hobby strong cyclically, just my thoughts

Garret stop doing skateboarding videos too I believe and he just does gaming videos. It’s sad that a lot of the skateboarding community is slowly going down because for some people who weren’t watching it from the start it’s hard to see skateboarding being interesting

that picture of gabe is eerie

Is it possible that some of the challenges you're all facing right now have to do with basing yourselves in some of the most expensive cities in the country? I mean, San Fran and NYC are literally two of the most expensive cites in the country to live in. Let alone run a business out of. Especially when that business can technically exist in hundreds of other cities around the country. It really seems like some of the biggest challenges you're facing could be minimized (if not completely nullified) by moving to a new location with lower operational costs.
