OK, anyone got connections to the folks who make the decisions or represents inliners. Im thinking our network knows who those folks might be. When theres politics involved in anything, those who care need to find those who can represents our interests and then start a letter campaign. Itd be like calling our Congressman, although I would hope the person(s) we find would be more effective than our current Congress. That said, there are a lot of us passionate about this. We post a lot but, unfortunately, those who can make a difference may not see our posts. Who knows who we can go to direct. Weve got 500+ skaters on the So Cal Skaters page and there are many other pages. We also need to get support from our skate vendors, especially in the US where things are really trailing off. In my professional career Im good at finding the right people and making connections. Unfortunately, Im an infant in this sport (4 years old) and dont have a clue how things work in the politics of the whole thing. With that, I think its going to require a grassroots effort to get more attention for our sport from the skate manufacturers and those who make the decisions. OK, off my soapbox.
