New Sponsor Luv: Skate Farm
Merde Skatebaords corporate bigwig Mike Egbert hates Portland, and everyone who skates there. That’s why he’s moving back to Klamath Falls. Actually that’s not true. He is moving, but he loves Portland. He had this to say about his new venture:
Basically, I’m just trying to establish a skateshop in Klamath. I’m just starting out with an online shop so kids down there can see what is available, as I’ll probably be selling gear out of my car until I can get a retail space going. I’m from there so I want to help their scene however I can. There are a lot of ripping skaters in Southern Oregon. I’d like to just help those dudes get some coverage/due. I’ve never ran a store, so I don’t really know what I’m doing, but I think I’ll learn pretty quick. I’ll just try and focus on what unheard carries, for the time being. Once i get established, i want to bring in more brands that i’m stoked on. i’m a big skate nerd, so i’m partial to particular brands.
Skate Farm is a good name, lends itself to all kinds of imagery. I don’t know how Mr deep pockets is going to swing it, he’s already into S&A for tow separate advertising accounts. Also, be forewarned if Egbert ever asks you to film something there’s a good chance you’ll get injured.

You’ll either get hurt, or the person watching the video will throw up from vertigo. Either way, you’re fucked.
If you need any World Industries decks or shoes. I’d love to help you out.
Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind.
Sad to see you are leaving the area Mr Egbert.
