So far we’ve got rock solid, slugger, rolling thunder and power on board. Shiner and Keen are happy to sort us out once we’re set up and got like minded brands in stock. I’d happily go over board and just order everything I can, but we’re gonna start small and see how we go. ---

> [@nedertron](#): > > Form? Note sure. Crailtap, Zero etc all feel like very old brands now. If the shop’s clientele is mainly aging skateboarders then maybe, but not sure chasing the nostalgia pound is a great idea. Keen would be the big distributor I’d try to get. ---

That’s a decent list. Slugger do Black Label so i may hit you up for something at some point, especially if you can get anything Lucero elephant related ---

Yer I mean Keen has by far the best brands in the U.K. by a mile then Rock Solid. I would still get Girl and Chocolate if it was me. ---

Shop tees are certainly on the to do list, I have contacted Form but none of their brands really seem like must haves compared to some of the other brands on offer from Keen etc ---

> [@nedertron](#): > > I would still get Girl and Chocolate if it was me. I’m really impressed with the Girl board I’m on at the moment, so much so I have another in the same shape ready to go (G026). And I’ll likely ride another after that. My set up is consistent even if when I stand on it, I am not. ---

That’s really nice to get that. At least someone is noticing enough within politics to write you a card. ---

Sorry I wasn’t there to say hi, I was at home with the kids. We try and reduce their time in the shop during the holidays otherwise the kids bicker with each other and it’s hard to talk to customers when they’re chasing each other as well.
