The dragon that laid the golden egg.

Steve Caballero has endorsed Powell’s new line of beginners boards (AKA Cheap and Chinese) called Powell Golden Dragon. Tony Hawk does it, Andy MacDonald does it, even Mike McGill does. Why not Cab? The Powell versions ($70) seem to be a notch above Andy’s ($50) and Mike McGill’s (models from $30-$60). I couldn’t find a link for priccing on Hawk’s low end models. Maybe I imagined them. The Golden Dragon trucks even have a bit of interesting detail instead of being completely devoid of character. Let’s see, Cab, Hawk, and McGill. When do Lance and Tommy come out with their own line of cheapo skateboards? What about Per Welinder and Rodney Mullen? Oh wait, they already have crappy boards.

Paying people to skateboard undermines the efforts everyone who skateboards without being paid and turns skateboarding into a spectator sport. God, I hate spectator sports.

It’s easy, just buy a Merde or Cold War deck. You’ll be supporting local guys who don’t get paid to skateboard and they’re made in the U.S.A. Easy choice if you ask me.
