Berrics Unified – Divided Opinions And Steve Berras Video

Berrics Unified - Divided Opinions And Steve Berras Video

Wow, thought I was just going to lay back, read a book or watch a video now but as I was finishing reading up the latest mails, rss feeds and tweets my attention was caught by a full-on “discussion” / dissing which has arisen recently (well, 5 days ago!), started by the Berrics Unified program and Steve Berra’s video – to be honest this video does have a lot of good points and facts which do address the problems with skateboarding, small businesses and the big businesses’ ability to crush them with their financial power.

BUT – around 1:50 into the video the sentence with “the important skate shops” drops and that’s mostly what has started a landslide of so-called pro and con Berrrics supporters lashing out at each other. The most interesting comments for me are Steve Miller from the Exit Skate Shop in Philadephia and Steve Berra himself who have really given each other a virtual whopping over on Twitter – most of the posts have been deleted though, but you can read up on the story over on the Haveboard.com website – me being an outsider, this is hilarious. But I’ve seen similar situations arise in the past and it’s just sucks to see all of this dissing going on in the skateboard scene. At the same time though I can understand a shop owner wondering why they are not important unless they join a system and pay…

Well, hope this gets solved somehow for all involved – watch the video and make your own opinion, even better add your comment here!
