Someone Yelled 'Cut' Instead of 'Action' on 'Action Sports'

This week in the sketchy skateboard industry, there are messages sprinkled with words like these from the grown ups:

• altered landscape
• market shift
• changing economic environment
• credit markets

That means something serious happened and the grown ups are trying to use every ounce of intelligence they can muster to make sense of it. One of the big trade shows has come to an end after a couple decades. It's not easy figuring out crazy bid'niss stuff like that. Thanks for all the good times and hospitality over the years.
