I received more spam from Chinese skateboard manufacturer. Not very remarkable except for a few things. The first thing I noticed was a picture of an assembly line for completes. Are those children or small women on the line? Look at the shot of the factory. I swear those are soldiers guarding the entrance to the plant. Also interesting, you can buy blanks for under $6. American skateboard manufacturing is doomed.
More Chinese Skateboard Spam
This company is called Frogling Sporting Co. One thing about these Chinese companies that I’ve noticed is that their web servers always seem to run slow as molasses. It’s like waiting for a game to load off of cassette tape on an old TRS-80 computer. Apparently they haven’t figured out a way to get a server to run off of cheap peasant labor.
Check out the factory or apply for a job.

I’m not exactly sure what this activity called “skate sporting” is, but it sounds fun. And sporty too. Here’s the full text of the email I received.

Im glad to see this, the fucking pros are always crying fuck blanks and blank gear, what the fuck has a pro done for my shop. I buy blanks all day and sell them all day, the chinese blanks i buy for 8 bucks are just as good as the chinese elements i have on the wall for 58 bucks. i can make 30 bucks on a blank and 10 on a pro deck, its all about looking out for your small business and your shop, the big picture is money for my family and kids not tight pant andy reynolds and his coke addiction, fuck that!
