Any shops looking for something new?
EDIT- EMAIL ADDY WAS FAWKED UP
Email me at [email protected] if you might be interested.
We have our "Oink Oink" design in right now and soon will order our "Love Kills" design, created by Todd Bratrud of Consolidated Skateboards.
We will also be printing some small runs ourselves if all goes well.
http://www.uselessskateco.com The site and pics are kinda crappy but it works.

I came up with this name in 02 i think. When i droped out and didnt have a job, i felt pretty useless. Its also Useless Skate Co. because there are so many companies, we're just another useless one.

Thats not a reason for shops to buy stuff from me, that is my background. If a shop doesnt wanna buy my decks because Im a drop out or because of my name then fuck 'em.
I have great wood and awesome shapes and I love skating. I skate my own decks and I sponsor local kids. I do everything I can to help skateboarding and that is a reason for shops to buy from me.

That's cool, sounds nifty, thing is, if you want shops and distros to sell your gear, they need to know that your name is getting around and becoming known, it takes time, it's hard to sell products to people that don't know the brand, they always want brands they know of.
Best thing to do is just skate everyday and keep doing what your doing, hook up with the city parks and rec people and work with them too, hold a contest and/or demo, rip it up.
Just a matter of time, just don't get bummed and give up, some of the best companies in the world took sometimes up to 10 years to become well known.

Thanks for the modivation man. Sometime I think I'll never be able to live off this,which sucks because this is all I have. When I get down I go look at my wall where my Useless boards hang, 1 of each design. I just now added a signed shirt and poster from the consolidated team. Next deck design was created by the consolidated artist Todd Bratrud.
All that shit reminds me of how far Ive come and how much potential I have.
