Explanation Number One

By Rob Meronek

The skate companies listed on that one penis pump website are getting angry emails.

Anyway, some distributor felt they should send this email to us. I thought you should all see it if you're interested in this skateboard business crap.

Subject: Consolidated Skateboards and Allegro

Hello Rob,

I wanted to reply to your column and let you know that Allegro was posting some our images from our website including the Consolidated items without our knowledge. We have contacted Allegro and told them not to include any Consolidated items on their website. We have also told them we will not fullfill any orders for Consolidated products for them if ordered. I expect them to remove the Consolidated items off of their Website shortly.

To date, Allegro has not ordered any Consolidated items from RAX so they could be getting any Consolidated products elsewhere. RAX only sells the Consolidated products to Skateboard shops that submit business licenses to prove they have a business established. You can rest assured that if Allegro is listing Consolidated items on their website, they are not getting it from RAX.
