Biding Farewell

So as everyone that skates and maybe most local artists have probably heard that Arockalypse Skateshop is closing. I am "kinda" bummed on it. Everyone that works there is a good friend of mine and it is sad to see them try and help what little Oklahoma Skate Scene there is but in return nothing great came out. Even with the On Deck Artshows they organized, it seemed the artists included didn't care.
Jeff Maines, Owner and Founder has helped me a little in life here in Oklahoma. He let me organize this.



Check these people out that were in it.

It wasn't too great of a turn out but it let me show work with some of my closest friends and that was cool I guess. But hearing this news kind of got me thinking about how it got to the point of going under. And then I started to think about my contributions to the shop. And yes, they were minimal. But when you are being treated like some loser by the local shop because your not hopping on the nearest park handrail. Why should you help them. And yes, I doubt others contributed more than me. Always trying to get "Hooked" up cause they can "Tre Flip" on flatground. My point is that this came as no surprise. I've been going there for all four years they were open and in return I am based on skating abilities than personality. And yea, I bet I am not liked by anyone, but if you own a shop, don't tell me I'm not "Good" enough to flow a deck after I've bought eight in 2 months.
Whatever, maybe I'm being harsh, but when you buy from a shop and try to help it more than the "Star Rider" does, but you are the one treated like garbage. Why care. And since I'm on subject, Skaters here in OKC are awful. Yes, I have made a few good friends out of it. But everyone else, you suck. I regret skating cause I met all these people. And quit acting like you guys are good. You haven't gone somewhere yet, so that probably means your not going anywhere at all. I hope you guys are offended cause now you can see how I've felt for four years.
