] Teckademics believes the Aftermarket Industry has a closed door ] approach to the Import Culture and tends to shy away from the culture ] when bad or controversial things happen. Movies like "The Fast And ] The Furious" have put a Hollywood image on the lifestyle. We do ] not think this image is correct. We want to show the real lifestyle. ] We are proud of the underground do-it-yourself attitude and we embrace ] it. We are not scared to show what really goes down. The Import Culture is ] like the underground skate culture in the early nineties. The big skateboard ] industry was doing nothing to expose the true lifestyle and was very ] corporate. Skate boarders were treated like outlaws and were hassled ] wherever they went. Sound familiar? It was small start up companies ] like World Industries who were owned and run by skaters that broke ] the door down to how skateboarding is today. I give this ] example because the import lifestyle directly crosses over to the ] skate market. I personally know tons of skate pros who drive their ] slammed imports to the skate parks and pro racers ] like Jeremy Lookofsky that skate around at drag events. These guys make kick ass films. Mischief 3000 is my official pick for movie of the year. Teckademics |
