interview with Mike Moreau
“If you don’t make
any shop decks now
then you’re not really
a skateshop”
Do you have any advice for the young ones who would like to start a skate
company of their own? What virtue would you say is very important in getting
into the skate business?
It depends what kind of skateboard company they would like to start. If that's a
brand, being aware and watchfull on the artworks because that's the first thing
the skaters see in shop. Then obviously taking care of the board quality. That's
why everyone who have a skateboard project should contact me at ArtPrint to
have the best board and print quality. Further ArtPrint is really reactive thanks to
my fast and pleasant communication. I answer to every requests immediately
and I'm very proud of the production process which is released in our workshop
based in Bordeaux, France just in 2 weeks.
If some people want to start printing boards, I would say ''Forget about it but just
contact me. We will do the best job for you after 14 years experience now!'' :)
Any last words
Being in the skateboard business should be just for the passion of the
skateboard and not to make money ot
