Skate Companies Not Using China Wood

[danny provalone]

someone list em. that way skaters can support the companies that arent all about making a buck.

ok heres a little more info,
dwindle distributions had decided to build a factory overseas in china, not only are they hurting the northa americian economy, but they are hurting the chinses economy too. for one they are moving buisness out from N.A, but they are also paying the chinese workers peanuts (not literally). now one might think, this means if the decks arent costing as much to make, they will be sold for cheaper. sorry but no, the companies will just be making more money.

so anyways, dwindle dist. is made up of te following: darkstar, enjoi, world, blind. they all switched to china companies.

the companies that arent, that i know of are: pop war, chocolate, baker, flip, seek, habitat, aws.
theres a lot more too

Almost is too..but I don't know much about the china made stuff..but I don't support dwindle, I hate thier boards and they only make it worse by abusing labour in China...

It sort of sucks that enjoi moved over to the China wood but that's pretty much a corporate decision that I doubt had much say in. As companies go, they definitely have one of the best outlooks on skating, and shit, the boards are nice too.
