MIDWESTBRAND
Basically it's sort of a distribution. It's a few different ideas and
projects but it's all housed and run under the same roof. The first brand
to run was STACKED and right now we're working on a board company to be out
probably towards the end of summer.
STACKED UNCORPORATED
This was an idea and name that I came up with about four years ago while I
was living in my hometown of Fergus Falls, MN. I lived in Duluth for about
two years before it came together (last summer). My friend and I came up
with a couple ideas and had a few different tees printed so people could see
the name and hopefully stir up some interest. I talked to a few of the
different guys here to see if they would be interested in riding for us if
it ever got going and they were defintely down for it. That made me a lot
more motivated to actually get things started.
TECHNICALLY BUILT?
It's always bothered me when I see people who don't skateboard, much less
now anything about it, wearing clothes meant for skaters. Unfortunately
with a lot of brands jocking out their image it's going to continue to
happen. Everything is tagged with "technically built" this or "superior
branded" that. Bullshit, it's a hat, you're not going to ollie any higher.
As for us, our clothing is only as good as Hanes and/or Jerzees allows us to
be. For now.
TEAM
Our pawns currently consist of CJ Keller, Den Davey, Ryan Leege and Steve
Seitz. Brian Heck recently switched over to Supernatural. Our promo video
has been having break down problems, but should be in shops shortly. Five
months overdue and counting.
AVAILABLE?
Steve and CJ are for sure, unless your talking about clothes. Those are
available at the Youth Shelter (St. Cloud), Freestyle (Duluth), and In the
Works (Mankato).
THANKS
Todd at Consolidated, Mom at home, friends at everywhere and our shops (in
towns).
