| Blind is still around and doing pretty good sales. But a lot of people dont like them anymore because they are advertising more towards younger kids. They tend to be more like World Industries. There is nothing wrong with the wood, but the grapics are cheezy as hell. |

Maybe I'm wrong here, but isn't blind a part of dwindle distribution? If so their "chop chop wood shop" could be an issue. I personally don't know about sales and I don't ride the dwindle boards, but when they made that switch last year people weren't supportive of that move, for a number of reasons. But blind USE to be cool...
As for my local shop, they gave up on dwindle because their customer service sucked (or it did for them).

| Yeah Blind has had a downfall but I checked their website and suprisingly they still have a respectable team including James Craig, Ronnie Creager and Kris Markovich. |

You forgot about Evan Scheifelbine.
I managed a skate shop here in SoCal and Evan along with Danny Garcia, James Craig, Gideon, Luis Cruz, Jeremy Wray, Gideon Choi, Shon Farron, etc... are all team riders. Skating with those guys was absolutely insane.
