Ethic?

I think the gist of it is that Addict, District, and Eagle are all owned by the same distribution company but not really very separate. I haven't watched the video though, so I could be wrong. I think Ethic is legit though.

TL;DR: Ethic is the parent of Addict, Distict, and Eagle. People called Addict unlegit because it wasn't rider owned and development was paid for in part by "District," in reality it was Ethic.

thats not it at all...a lot of this is already somewhat common knowledge but here's a summary:

marcel (eagle) helped kevin demay/johann moreau start district and addict. addict was meant to be brought out later from districts profits, but marcel wanted to focus more on district so addict was delayed. marcel did shady things (not giving payments, not checking for quality control in the factories, screwing over dissidence) and so they got over him and started Ethic, completely rider owned and developed.

its a bummer that they never got contracts signed, that could have prevented it all from the beginning. i hope people learn from their mistake. and support rider-owned's more. because the crash kevin warns about is definitely possible.

The Addict and Ethic deck similarities annoy me. Same thing. Im stoked for Ethic though. Boycott District. Support rider-owned companies.

Sports have slumps in popularity when they're as small as we are. Some of the companies that exist purely for money will die out and only the big backed (madd / envy / district) and rider owned / dedicated companies will survive. Same has happened in skateboarding and rollerblading.

Marcel doesn't do anything for the distric riders either. Im glad I've never owned a district part and I'm glad about the company's on my scorer, just wish rad would make t bars. And I believe hep Greg is part of this too because didn't he design the original distric extrusion

Alright, watched the video end to end. I can definitely say I'm down. I've always thought that this impending scooter doom would come, and now with a clearer picture of what it will be like, I am convinced it will happen exactly as he claims.

About Ethic, I'm gonna back them 100%. I had almost decided on buying a V2i for my birthday, but no more. I'll hold out till Christmas to see what Ethic holds, in the meantime I'll ride my deck into the ground. If Ethic will be what he claims: strong, light, and adapted to fit any rider and any riding style, then I will stand by it.

Just my two cents, a bit devotional, but eh.
