Too right! Don Brown's another obvious one in this context. How about Rodney Mullen, Steve Rocco, Jeremy Fox, Frank Messman, Per Welinder and Paul Sunman as well. I'm sure the list goes on and on (in no particular order and I'm sure I've missed some very obvious examples)... Freestyle skaters and business? Too right!

I think this was in the days before they had any high-profile pro's like Natas endorsing their products. I heard that Pierre André bought the company. It's a good job a lot of those freestyle skaters had good business sense...By the way, they were the raddest shoes ever!
