I have been hearing some nasty rumors about it, so what is the status of “The Unbelievers?
” J: It’s the Done Believers. It’s over. I got hung out to dry this past spring in this nasty turn of events. We did the company for four years on a paper thin budget. I made some people some money to pay their mortgages, while I was still sitting in a cold shack with no heat. Scott had some weird shit happen to him and he ended up moving to France, to do something that he had to do. And I supported it because he’s my friend as well as my business partner, so at one point he was in France for like two years and I was kinda holding the reigns. I started the brand, but I was never going to be like a team manager or a skateboard company owner. I wanted to do graphics and make cool shit and had no real interest in holding up the tent. So all of the executive skateboard company decisions became mine and it really started to wear on me. But at that point I was still pretty ok with it and we got an opportunity in the last year with this other manufacturer and distributor out of San Diego. Sam
