Over the past three years I’ve worked semi-frequently at two shops in two cities with scenes which, I think, are amongst the most active and popular outside of London.

Both seemed to, and probably still do, churn through Palace boards. But I can sparsely recall selling, gripping or seeing people riding them in either city.

Baffled.

Looking back, PWBC News was pretty good.

[![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/G5B_Zs0YtNc/hqdefault.jpg "PWBC GLOBAL SKATEBOARDING NEWS, BEST OF SERIES 1") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5B_Zs0YtNc)

Just had a look at the accounts and Palace (PALACE SKATEBOARDS LIMITED) have gone from turnover of £14.5m to £25.8m in the space of 12 months. Wild!

Some of the captions for the latest Palace drop are pretty catty:

”JUST GOTTA GET RID OF SHAWN POWERS NOW  
AND WE ARE BACK TO HAVING  
THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS SKATE TEAM IN THE WORLD”

“WHO CAME UP WITH SKATE OR DIE  
I BET THEY USED TO SKATE BUT NOW THEY ARE DEAD”

“DON’T WANT NEEKS ON THE SKATE TEAM  
AS LUCAS PUIG WILL MAKE YOU LOOK SHIT”

“IF YOU THINK OF YOURSELF AS AN INFLUENCER  
THEN PALACE THINKS OF YOU AS A TOSSER”

“REST IN PEACE  
BURBERRY BEING COOL”

Shots fired at Blondey? Sounds like a messy divorce.

They’ve been a bit catty with their captions for a while now haven’t they.

I always read those captions as tongue in cheek. Like harsh jokes among mates that have the added bonus of firing up the internet.

I’ve never been into Palace, dressing like Ali G wasn’t cool in 2002 and isn’t cool now.

That’s the point though; they used to seem very tongue in cheek but those recent one and that Alien Workshop comment didn’t come across that way at all.

So is this the future of skateboarding? All the ‘cool’ companies having their own shops, for drops?

I can’t imagine that one getting a lot of footfall myself, but I’m massively out of touch.
