"Hey let's film ourselves chatting by the circular saw!" lmao just giving y'all shit, it's cool to get some updates on the company and industry as a whole. Skated my Keen ramp earlier today and I'm so glad I made this purchase. Much love from Virginia!
I’m happily in the 10% - been skating for 38 years and decided to buy your puzzle wedge. I was about to make my own, then I saw that and loved the innovation. The weight savings alone is worth it because I need to put it in my VW Golf and drive to the spot. It’s so fun. I am not a beginner and definitely NOT a kid, but love what you guys do. Keep it up!
We just wrapped our Skate Competition up yesterday in Gladewater, Texas. Thank you Keen Ramps for your continued support 🤙🙏 Skatelite on a Keen Ramp is Paradise 🌴
The more manufacturing that come back to USA/Canada, the more small skate companies will thrive because it will become cheaper to buy and manufacture at home..
As someone whos been trying to build their own clothing brand, this video is very helpful and insightful. I like the discussion on the niches of skating and its industry. Curious to see what the next thing to cause a peak in skating will be. Regardless skating will never disappear, we keep pushing
Cool video. There is a DIY at 205 Hopkins Blvd. in Biloxi, Ms. under a bridge.. Gulfcoast Skateparks Association is really trying hard to get a good park here in Biloxi, Ms.
As someone who has been skating for 27 years I completely see Keen Ramps as a core skateboard brand. Any truly skater owned and operated brand is worth supporting. Especially someone who has dedicated most of their life to it and is passionate about it. I think it’s great new skaters and kids make up a large chunk of Keen’s customer base. One of the beat things a skater can do is contribute to others getting into it. Not to mention the killer contests and demo’s keen sets up for. I watch them all.
The Pest Control video was a hype when I was ten years old. First vhs skate video I ever watched. It was cool cuz they had a few trick tips in between video parts. Taught me my first kickflip.
From what i heard about the lakai thing directly from someone on the team is that they’re still keeping the riders that fully support lakai they just don’t want certain individuals who may or may not have promoted different shoe brands while being on lakai.
Skate shops are being cut from existence by all these brands. I get it they have to get old inventory out. But how can a shop compete with all these warehouse sales and online sales. $25 pro boards is crazy. No shop can compete with that. And what that is also doing to these brands is devaluing them from a $75 board brand to a swap meet $25 board brand.
Im 37.. I grew up to minikmati, 411, fulfill the dream, thrill of it all, welcome to hell, to all the transworld vids and when fully flared came out... all of a sudden im doing flip tricks into slides and manuals because of the hype and love for skateboarding.. it becomes your identity.. getting older and the body not being able to do first try any trick you want really messes with your head. All I have is the good memories of the good times. Now it's different. I'd still rather see a simple 5.0 shoulders aligned perfect with rial down a set of stairs than a crazy ass trick. I'd still be hyped... but yeah I'm simple. Keep up keenramps!! You are original!
Advice to people in general Don’t start a skateboard brand just for money do it because you love skateboarding money will come if you have the passion for it.
The tariffs don't affect American companies unless they outsource ALL of their materials from China. I know most peop,e in LA are blind to the actual reality of America but we need to go back to supporting America, not supporting cheap labour and cheap product from countries that want nothing but pur Empjre to fall. If you do business right, your business well prosper. Trump wants America to work like it did before everyone started being liberal crybabies and adulting after 30 years old.
Skateboard plys are supposed to come from Canada.The tariffs will cause inflation from Canada, not China.I'm no lib or rep.I just got enough common sense to know trump wants to ruin America for his own wealth and power. He doesn't care for you or anyone but himself. The term make America great again originated from David Duke a grand wizard of the kkk.They want a white America. No tears here just laughing at all the idiots who want a satanic president.
Lowkey i spoke to people about you and some other brands being the only skater owned companies atm and so and so on, but you guys do have a tiny bit of a «corny» vibe or What ever. But keep in mind, that dosent have to be a bad thing considerig that you mostly make you money from begginers. If you hade a «core» vibe i Think you would scare the money away.

Core skate companies need to stop undercutting competitors, and form a council, band together and take out the/keep up with the big wigs
The more manufacturing that come back to USA/Canada, the more small skate companies will thrive because it will become cheaper to buy and manufacture at home..
Seeing Lakai ads look like Temu/scam ads is so jarring.
Not skater owned anymore.
@@kennynewell85it hasn't been for a few years.
Thank you for getting my slapstick shipped out so quickly, I appreciate what you guys do
No worries! Happy holidays

Skateboarding gets big when an athlete finds a way to transcend the sport or a different medium incorporates skateboarding.

How about a small Slides & Grinds tournament during the slow period?

You shall be very happy running a ramp company. Less competition. Different rules. Less hard scrutinising than board companies experiences.
So things are ramping up?
Okay, which way is the exit? I may need some help out too.
Brands shouldn’t stop doing events just because it’s a new year. Keep it rolling
Cool video and company you guys have!!!!!!!
Oh i thought i had been skating longer than Keen, let's see im 31, i started in 2004 or so 20 years... or so
Be grateful yall busy

Corys good people donated ramps to our park PARASITE DIY in n.o.L.A. rehabed our dew weezy ramps.
Doin Gods Work🦾🛹
If LiMu Emu and Doug interrupt again, put them to work, Corey.
I think you WANT kids skating cuz you own a company that profits off them. If you were just another skater you’d more than likely feel different.
No one has owned a skateboard brand in 2025 yet.
here for the zero skateboarding
