EVOL is sooo sick! Cameron is too modest to brag about how good this video is.

Hi I just wanted to say this is Joe from Franco Shade
(A ROLLERBLADING COMPANY THAT IS NO PIGGYBACKING ITSELF INTO ANOTHER SCENE)
Listen to anyone who cares to read this and I dont care if anyone reads this but I feel I should say something, even though I feel I have stated it over and over and over again. I am 27, started in rollerblading when i was 14. Stopped being 100% serious and focused and still actually skating around 2003- 2004.
I started Franco in 02, since then I have done nothing but lose money selling Franco as a line in the industry I love and grew up in. After a few years and the industry fading off I realized there is no way I can continue to pay Arlo and everyone involved and try and succeed by just staying in rollerblading. Mindgame was always a much larger and more popular brand and they just went out of business, how were we supposed to survive.
The fact that I owe this eternal shout out to rollerblading because I have a clothing company is so full of shit that I cant even begin to try nor will I defend myself.
When a fucking streetwear blog interviews us about our brand, I truly apologize for not mentioning that I had an incredible torque slide in vg8, and if you missed that one you could catch me with a just as incredible torque slide in wasteland.
Sorry I dont mention all the rollerbladers who lived at my house for free year in and year out, people I took care of, helped get sponsored, made things happen basically.
Sorry I dont mention that this industry is a rocker dominated culture that I was never truly apart of.
How do you make as many fucking videos as I did, be such a part of the industry and never once get a story/interview in Daily bread, Box Magazine, Skater, ONE?
People behind the scenes in the industry did not like me or the Future Prospects. Everything I did was for us and always will be. I dont owe shit to anyone.
No one is sitting here crying that Dave Paine who made how many video grooves is now making skateboard videos for Fuel. Or that Drew bacharach is doing the damn same. Do you see the Franco Skateboard team? Do you think it wouldnt help sales if I had a skateboard team?
Does anyone know how many shops have turned us down because of our rollerblading past, do any of you realize the kind of shit we take and still let everyone know how it started.
To anyone who has been to our warehouse you see posters of Rachard up, I make skateboarders and just random fucks watch rollerblading videos. To me thats whats important, not giving this universal shout out to the sport of rollerblading.
My life will be defined as not just some skinny fuck who made skate videos, or even a clothing company.
I know Tim and Adrian, specially Adrian, you guys know me, Adrian youve been to my house, you know my personality, I aint got shit to hide. I am a business man though. If Al doesnt get that and wants to whine and bitch about us not “keeping it real” than im sorry. He never tried carrying our line at his store any way. Not that we would ever sell to it now. We sell to rollerblading shops that we respect and have had a history with. I have cut a lot because they dont know how to run their shit.
Where is the love to Franco, all I get is hit up by ONE to do ads like any other company….
Wouldnt it be worthwhile to do something in the magazine about Franco and how it came from where it did and is going somewhere else, not for the publicity we would get (we have 4 rolling shops out of 94 total right now), but maybe to let people who are still fullly involved in the scene know that they can get their shit out too.
That maybe people who dont rollerblade would actually feel your shit also. You think every fucking kid who buys skateboarding clothes skateboards?
When has Be-mag ever asked or tried to do anything with us?
Where is our company profile?
We dont owe nobody shit, think about it from a different perspective and maybe you wont feel so betrayed.
God bless
Joe

Joe, i think you’re confusing my relaying of others’ sentiments and commenting on them, with me supporting those statements. I’ve listened to this segment on the show about ten times in a row just now and i really can’t see where i said anything you should really take offense to. And what the hell does Octona have to do with anything here? For being such a businessman you’re sure coming off unprofessionally. Maybe hit us up and we can have you on next week’s show?

How do you guys decide which videos to cover. EYES ON OUR EYE was released recently as well. As for equipment set ups can I get a suspension frame I can put large wheels on?
7. perris | May 6th, 2007 at 5:41 am
Well said, FRSH is the coolest
8. al dolega | May 6th, 2007 at 5:18 pm
just drop us an email at rollingrevival@gmail.com to let us know about your video, or whatever else. We try to catch everything that pops up online and elsewhere but of course we often miss stuff. just drop us a line with info and a link to a trailer and we’ll mention it on the next show.

haha, glad someone else finally called Al out on all the hating that he does. Go Joe!
10. Tim | May 7th, 2007 at 5:15 am
Al isn’t a hater he just isn’t afraid to voice his opinion - he is always supporting rolling.
11. kim jones | May 7th, 2007 at 1:25 pm
tim and al hate rollerblading and adrian is auditioning for laguna beach and said if he gets in he will turn his back on rollerblading to try and get jason and loren into freestyle rolling and other dipset rituals. also franco shade is made in sweat shops full of people with elephantitus and when they drop dead after sowing thousands of frsshhh garments they sell their carcasses for ivory.

s243a, forgot to answer your second question, sorry. the kizer suspensions can fit big (58-60mm or so) wheels in them, but they tend to hit the frame channel when the frame compresses, and send you flying. kizer recommends 56mm or smaller, which i agree with, unless you weigh like 100lbs or something.
