krang3 June 2013they somehow skipped the roo wheels/ simbiotic/ brenihanna punishment
imgne_3 June 2013Thats it.... I'm now going to focus every 24 skateboard that I see, this is fucked!
come on imgne, i hope this isn't that tall poppy syndrome?
:)

imgne_3 June 2013Hahahaha valid point drew. I'm also too nice to go around snapping kids boards anyway, well at least not without replacing them...
walker943 June 2013I have a question that I hope someone can clarify for me, or something..
They advertise their free warranty right? So are they allowed to charge a $25 'handling fee' and $10 for grip (that was included in the original product) and get away with it easily? Isn't this deceitful advertising somehow? I mean when I see "free" I assume I won't have to pay 78% of the original price...I mean how far does it go? Can you say "free" and let the fineprint save you from charging 90%? 100%?
It's also interesting that they can pay for ads in Amercian magazines and on Slap but not pay photographers who contribute photos, though I'm not surprised.

I'd doubt they are allowed to do it. Consumer affairs are hammering people for that kind of stuff at the moment, like visa surcharging etc etc.
are they a nsw thing?
this is the rules... feel free to lag haha

New skateboard mag for July. Tell em to suck it
sk8parx troll4 June 2013my observance on why people hate 24 skateboards:
- people have claimed that their board is of low quality and won't honour the refund process
- 24 skateboards have marketed their image as the 'only' legit board company in australia, hereby shitting on other truly legit aussie companies
- some of the team riders and managers have talked shit and alienated other skaters within the community

Davo 21534 June 2013Who are they?
And I am not hating. It's a serious question.

"not hating" me neither...
they are a company i think from qld or nsw (me being in vic has never seen a board of theirs) sell cheap and direct because shops wont stock them or something.. seems to be a big hit with the kids, not so much your affected shop owners/industry types..
I think their slogan "the only legit aussie skate company" perhaps put some noses out of joint

41284 June 2013If they undercut our industry by 50% ... Good luck selling boards in the USA at $25.
krang4 June 2013pretty sure the "company" is from sydneys western suburbs.
the slogan was something along the lines of " "the only legit aussie skate company since 2004"
they arent to be confused with actual legit aussie company "4 skateboards" or the company dill and ave rode for before aws "23 skateboards".

That's stuffed, what cocky arseholes. Do they even have any riders?
Tim B.4 June 2013But are they more legit than Roo wheels? Which if i remember correctly are at least if not more legit than Picture? Hahahha
catdawg4 June 2013I still don't understand how they have such a legit team either
why such fury over a slogan and price ?
walker944 June 2013@TLF -
- deceitful advertising ('free' warranty is far from free)
- undercutting the industry by about 50%
- not stocking in shops due to undercutting, this hurts shops. shops support skateboarding. 24 does not.
- slogan is again total advertising fraud (besides the obvious 'legit' statement, they have not been around since 2004. more like 2011.)
While you can write all this off as "just doing business", it just sucks that they're being kept around when skateboarders don't want them around. Not to mention their beef with a few aussie distros...team riders getting bad reputations, etc. Their team are all rad dudes it just sucks that they are not. Whatever. They wont last much longer...I hope.
