Olan looks so zoned out 😂

[@18riley18]

yeah lets double the cost of a skateboard make it a rich kid activity

[@Garf2O]

yeah, at that point playing some b ball or street soccer will be the new hesh

[@zeldasucksdicks9510]

they're bugging out skating isn't a rich man sport bruh

[@rainxp1318]

right dude

[@yungjefe7423]

18riley18 this guy is only selling boards for 62. I think he realizes nobody's coping that shit for a hunnid

[@skat635]

my nigga i can barely afford to pay Netflix

[@alexbeardsley751]

you cant afford 8.99??? time to get a job buddy

[@skat635]

+Alex Beardsley its a joke kid

[@alexbeardsley751]

a kid that can afford his netflix son

[@skat635]

+Alex Beardsley ok me too but you cant comprehend that i was just joking so chill

[@jakeyjammin5789]

I don't think a skateboard should ever be that much, 50 max. but 5 years ago these two kids had nothing they aren't from super wealthy backgrounds so for people who are saying that they are just rich kids they really aren't like that at all you can tell how happy they are that they are now making a bit of money. Good for them.

[@Atrainswrld]

I haven't seen Olan in any IC youtube videos lately. Did something happen?

[@JoseTorres-gn3yj]

Was the bleep in regards to mid 90's?

[@WeMakeVideosCA]

Might have been North Hollywood. Seems like he had that movie planned for a while

[@MewsDabest]

Wait so he's saying boards should be even more expensive?? The fuck wrong with you Mikey, I'm broke asf

[@Anarboard]

Yeah,. the fuck is he talking about

[@Garf2O]

ikr, like fuck that, i got back into skating because i couldnt afford a new bike, i meanni think $50 is nice, then when boards go for $60 its like ok they need the money, but $110? fuuuuuck that, catch me riding blank boards for $30

[@sublime88sublime]

It seems like he doesn't understand the concept of supply and demand

[@nollieflipcrook]

Yeah boards are def not worth $110 when they only last a month if you're lucky. I get the general point he's trying to make that skateboarders need to be making more money, but that's not the way to do it

[@drusky1000]

He's trying to say the shops won't last if they keep selling the their product for so cheap like they have been for the past 30 years I'm not for that or against that cus 110 is a lot but I get his point.

[@gaucheislifegc3568]

For those just watching, Mikey did go on to do the tours, and sold out most of them if not all. Mikey is a visionary, and is achieving everything he set out to do. He is a living example of following things through to the end and not giving up; BIG UP ILLEGAL CIV FOREVER! TUH!

[@RadioactiveHipsters]

Mikey is a kook I hope you realize this now after what has gone on

[@orlandomiani]

lol yeah right u fell off just like him a deck thanx to deep s like him is now 70 / 80 / 90 u pay for a crappy name and some crappy wood

[@MaskedGooner]

When it came to business, Mikey actually dropped knowledge. It's a brutal game out here, no room for people complaining. The times are changing fast! Companies like Zumiez WILL NOT go away if there are customers. Skate shops need to make their moves and strategize. Everybody gotta be a shark.

[@bassmetalheadbang]

Yea dude but you neglect to see the impact large corporations make on society by cutting out the little guys. Why wouldn't you complain about it? If you don't care then you are no better then them and will end up trying to make money without thinking of how it impacts society.

[@bassmetalheadbang]

And no not everyone has to be a shark.

[@traviskerr5263]

except they just showed their first ever losses, and are closing more locations than growing. FUCK ZUMIEZ - get educated. They are a franchise that mandates mall locations - that isn't a new business model - thats fucking AUNTIE ANN"S PRETZELS

[@Jeremyramone]

quite right, that s what these ignorant fools don t see, the proliferation of those who only see materialistic gain as an indication of success are what create so much misery in the world. vile.

[@greens294]

Yea but that fact is large corporations continue to win, so what's your solution? Of course it's upsetting that they cut out the little guys, but the fact is if you had a board company and Zumiez was the main company offering money for your product, would you really turn them down, or would you risk insolvency because of principal? Board companies are struggling, and the ones that deny Zumiez business are probably dead.

[@therestingmitchface6241]

These dudes are freaking hilarious

[@keithlb4919]

$110? for a skateboard ? 😂😂

[@salvatoreraciti1399]

How can a local shop "catch up" when Zumies is selling old wood from deluxe for 25 bucks? Local shops can't compete with that. This sweater cape with blue blockers thinks he knows everything about the world.

[@iamaskater100]

Is he talking about decks or completes though, because my setup is often always over $100

[@fingerboard202]

complete setup yeah he talking bout the board itself

[@YungTsundere]

yall forever hating on mikey, he wasn't saying make boards $110, he was comparing it to a business aspect.

[@noseexplorer]

Thats exactly what he said ?!?!???!?!

[@YungTsundere]

porceliandoll ok he said make boards $110 BUT HE WASNT SAYING MAKE THEM $110..like he's not encouraging it?? he's comparing it

[@noseexplorer]

?????????????? okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[@williammejia8691]

I miss erica

[@bubbadagger]

can we get some OGz back on this show?

[@mchawkjunior6500]

Rodney Mullin??

[@mchawkjunior6500]

+MCHawkJunior *Mullen

[@bubbadagger]

+MCHawkJunior I meant like pros who party

[@AMinorSetBack09]

come to fuckin australia and a board is fuckin $110

[@leokie06]

wa is 120 :/

[@bassmetalheadbang]

You can get decent blanks for $60 still. Like Speed Demon blank decks and shit. But yea pro models 120+ Easy...

[@davidhastings1615]

Gotta get those Kingpin 55$

[@greedisgoodz]

Same here in denmark....

[@skatersssss]

Even in canada they're $80-$100

[@rrarre]

Fuck yea been waiting for 3 days 😂

[@peasandrice4]

$80 for a board is bad enough!

[@mchawkjunior6500]

This nigga said $100+ damn Mickey, we not all balling on that illegalciv budget.

[@skulleagletartat]

The point was not to sell boards for $110, it's to sell everywhere with the concept of 'economy of scale,' meaning, a proportionate saving in costs gained by an increased level of production; he wants to compete.

[@mchawkjunior6500]

Charles Snyder Oh I see, that's why he supports zumies

[@greens294]

Dude try running a skateboard business in today's climate. You ever wonder why all your local shops are closing?

[@mansaakhenaten3172]

Ambitious guys

[@RegularFoo]

He would want to double the price one skateboards, because he doesn't pay for any.

[@_delolala]

I wasn't at the roxy either but I'm sure this is what they were bleeping out lol

[@Jakepool14]

Lmao in australia our boards cost $120

[@1999skateboarding]

Tha best!

[@Atrainswrld]

I haven't seen Olan in any IC youtube videos lately. Did something happen?

[@s4y.r49]

They’re not that close anymore

[@traviskerr5263]

SHINING EXAMPLE OF A TREND. Good try with the young bucks, you def had a few legend episodes. get Joslin, Walker, Carpenter, provost, majerus, axel.......or just bring herman back

[@TheShun187]

fuck mikey is right time for us to wake up

[@paulwillis7404]

Nope. Nope. Nope. Point 1: since when does raising prices = being competitive. Point 2: The prices of decks may not have changed since the late 80's, but a lot about the decks sure has. They're smaller than "old school" boards from that era (less raw material), the graphics aren't silk-screened anymore (less labor, material and NRE) and they're (mostly) made outside the USA (much, much cheaper). C'mon man. Sell wherever you want (fuck Zumiez) to whoever you want. But don't try to sell me some bullshit argument about decks should cost $110 when the quality of the product has consistently decreased over the years. I'd gladly pay $110 for something that's manufactured and silk-screened in the USA. But something's telling me you're not interested in that business model, because cheaply produced boards, sold at $110 retail prices do a lot more to stuff your pockets.

[@RatFacedSnake]

Paul Willis facts bro and like if boards costed that much sales would just plummet, i would never buy i board i'd just be getting throaways from shops.

[@elliotsography790]

YOOOOOOO @RIDEChannel u shoulda asked olan about what happened to deli status

[@mightybee2577]

Get Andy Roy on this

[@spaceekingg406]

So we should make shit more expensive so skaters can be more broke?

[@Shaquille__Oatmeal_00]

Wait what was it he said that was bleeped out??? was it mid90's?

[@ivoryventrice603]

Im pretty sure. Back then they weren't supposed to be talking about it yet😭.

[@PeepGamePopoff]

epic

[@angel7126]

Harambe is still dead

[@alexbeardsley751]

your so lame both of you

[@evachiquita1723]

I.love.olan.

[@wechwech695]

Olan 💍💍😍

[@HANNAHPOO]

when he said the r slur 🥴🥴🥴

[@GASM0N]

Hold up... $110 for a DECK??? I thought he was talking about a complete lmao

[@alexd8461]

it does make sense, skateboards have been the same price since 1985. theres a reason that a lot of skate brands r dying. they r stuck in this old school dont sell out mentality and it kills their business.

[@ms-iz9ye]

A deck shouldn't cost 100 bucks. It's fine where it is and I prefer to buy a blank deck I can design and skate myself for less than 70 bucks plus paint. I haven't bought a graphic board in like 3 years. I get more joy making my own design and scratching the picture off.

[@alexd8461]

i mean i will say the price of skateboards has not gone up since i started skating

[@jeremymcclure3372]

no shit. skateboards should be cheaper bc of how disposable they are. that's crazy I struggle to afford a fifty dollar board

[@evanpjohnson]

A skateboard has "costed $55 since the 80s" because of the intelligence of this statement

[@jeremyremot6558]

do one with Brian Schaefer

[@BrodyEllis]

Jolly and mikey

[@russejg]

Chris Pfanner, Daan Van Der Linden

[@evmac]

110? for a DECK......FOH~!!!!

[@willsteezalot]

real shit if boards start costing $100+ i'm over skating

[@conor1382]

I want Sean Malto on here and Luan

[@isaiahyoung906]

that collab or whatever that they kept bleeping out is probably FA. I really hope so too. its only right

[@dogga6313]

Boards cost $100 in NZ

[@deeperthengrafftv640]

[@_delolala]

SO FUCKING COOL HOW THEY TEAMED UP WITH FTP SHOWS YOU FRIENDSHIP OVER AN INDUSTRY WINS

[@_delolala]

Also pretty sure this is what they bleeped out

[@TorVevo]

[@_delolala]

They've been sharing offices with zac for months now but they've been friends since like 2010 lol

[@elderllama]

They must really be struggling to get guest..

[@helladusty]

nah these are kids you'll be hearing of in 10 years guarantee that, they are the future

[@anka042]

[@planbflipdarkstar]

Y'all complaining about being broke and how if boards cost 110 dollars would be insane instead of complaint about that why not go get your money up to where even if boards costed that much it wouldnt be a problem

[@johnmoyarbmg5845]

Stfu you don't even support the skate community & 110 for a deck is fucking ridiculous.

[@planbflipdarkstar]

John MoyaSODMG this a three year old comment and I definitely do support the skateboarding community as I am a skater myself don’t let my KZbin channel fool you been skating way longer than I have been into cars don’t be dumb

[@BobbyDammit]

The fuck!? 110 bucks for a piece of wood, shit should be cheaper than they are then they would sell more, things fucking break in a week if your any good. Go home

[@just.nolan115]
