Just when you thought those deal-of-the-day and coupon sites covered every corner of the internet, here comes a new one. This time, it's for skateboarding.
SkateboardBums.com focuses on providing its visitors and subscribers with weekly deals on not only cheap skateboards, but discounted skate clothes as well. There are tons of places to find deals online for good skate equipment, so what's special about this site?
"Hooking up kids and parents with good deals is really all we focus on." Says Landon Slaughter - CEO of Skateboard Bums. "You can visit all the major sites and etailers out there or just come to one simple site, subscribe to the list - and we take care of the rest."
Skateboarding has exploded in popularity in the past 10 years and it seems that this trend is not going away any time soon. Our television stations glorify it. The sports drink companies endorse it, and it's hard to walk to your local grocery store without seeing yet another kid riding a skateboard.
Parents know the issues of having children who salivate over this sport. Boards are constantly breaking, shoes are destroyed in less than a month and jeans will barely last through the summer. In an effort to help aid parents' distress Landon remembers, "My mom would always yell at me for ripping my new shoes or breaking a new board. It's just the reality of the sport. Things are going to get worn out. This way - we can help our visitors find a few cheap skateboards."
Plans are already in the works to add a sort of keen verity to the site. With a steadily growing social media following, a few users are beginning to post their videos and content throughout this network. Soon, the site itself will feature skaters from all over the country showcasing their skills.
"It's sometimes hard to get noticed being a skater. Your skills have got to be amazing to be fully sponsored on a team." Says Landon.
It's true. The odds of becoming sponsored for professional skateboarding are much like "getting noticed" in Hollywood as an actor. You've got to either have amazing talent, or amazing luck.
Ultimately, http://www.skateboardbums.com aims to be not only a good resource for kids and parents who want to find good deals on gear, but a way for the actual skater to get noticed as well. When it comes to competing in an already over saturated market like skateboarding, any sort of exposure is good for these kids
