Why, Vintage Evolution Skateboards left YouTube

Well I left YouTube after years of doing videos. I was putting sometimes 5 videos out a day. Some were long but most were 3 min in length as a short. Not easy getting it all in in 3 min but those got seen more and by more people.  But it seemed I was not getting noticed like all the other channels that only talked about and showed skateboards. Those seem to get all the likes. But my videos weren't about "like" they were about solutions to the problems we collectors and investers have with our boards going into the future and now. The old and new.

Doing what I do to save skateboards cut across the grain for most. What I was doing was not accepted by the statusquo that has always been. The long standing rule of don't touch or you will loose value. Maybe, if done wrong like so many have in the past till now. But V.E.S. is different. We care about the collectors market going into the future. And we see so many great boards of histrory just drying and cracking apart with no help from the skateboard industry or any change from collectors. Some one had to do better!!!

I was also showing videos  that the skateboard industry is doing things all wrong for the collectors market. Maybe good for there quick buck$$$ but not for the long term market. My videos told the facts about what I have been seeing for so long. And that's why I thought it was important to get people to understand why turning this into a real hobby with the help of the skateboard industry would help us all around the world. And my videos had backing from my business and years of my work as proof.

I was pointing out that the skateboard industry only moves forwars in thought. And they never looked back at us forgoton skaters of time. They can't even change there shrink-wrap to do better, but I figured it out.

The industry also has anouther problem they are creating, no long term stability for the market we skaters made. The only value for a board sold by all of them is a collectable  board you have to wait sometime a year for. They all do it now!!!

So as you keep reading this I hope you get a better understanding as to why I left YouTube.

And as I was trying on my videos to show more information of skateboard problems and what can be done. I was trying to show we can do better than 99% of all the videos on YouTube that only talk and show a board. I wanted to do videos that push the envolope of the statusquo of what our skateboards history has turned into thanks to the skateboard industry

"FAD FAD FAD"

This is the real reason why  skateboards history is dead going forward. The next thing is better, but is it? And for who?

At the end of the day only the industry will win and control our market!

My videos also tryed to address the reality for today's skateboard collectors. The ones with shared timeline history with 2day's pro-s. We collectors of the past hold up there history up  into the future. But as I tryed to say in my videos, if the new graphic product doent last like the old boards do, they will have no shared timeline product to hold up down the road. And not just that, but if the collectors market get's use to this cheap copied product , the industry will keep copying  any value in your investment you have in your board over and over again with newer cheaper product. This is the end of skaters cotroling the collectors market. And the beginning of the skateboard industry making only one for them to control.

And as I pointed this out, boy did I get push back from those skaters all ready lost!!!

Well I will finish up here but I hope you get my point of view. I was trying to show in my YouTube videos, that there is so much more we can do as colletors, investers and skaters with our boards. Most videos you will see are the same just told by someone new that just got the bug of a collector. But that's all they do, is talk the same  with no real help for us investing in great skateboards history.

And I was hoping maybe someone in the industry would take a chance and call V.E.S. But no!! 

And as I researched the internet for anything new for us for years, the only thing I saw was the industry holding itself up on the wall. But non of that helps us out here in the real world.

We are the fogoton skaters

It seem's I don't fit in today for most. And when some call they just want my hard work for free so they can do what I do. But the problem with giving that away for free is  if you don't understand the problem how can you fix it right. So many of my videos tryed to make that point. Many said I have no clue, but what have they done? Have they been a skater for 45 years? Did they sell skateboards from a shop in the 80's? Did they start a business and prove to the world more can be done if you just care? Did they have millions of conversation for years with collectors and investers of skateboards? No they havn't!!!

No one has, till V.E.S.  showed up.

So if my videos don't get understood i'm done wasting my time and my efforts are better used some other way. 

So in the end that's why I left YouTube
