There will always be the guy looking for that different brand. The thing that will separate him from the next guy. Even if all the core guys are backing one thing, he will want to back something else and that is o.k. Thats what makes skateboarding cool. I even get caught up in it.
So why not give some boys from down under a go. Pass-Port is a real skateboard company with actual riders. They must be doing something right because they even had a color way with a Nike Blazer SB.
This is just giving you something to think about and since a lot of you that come in to get boards always want to try something new. Give them a go.
