WE DON`T QUIT
CRIMSON SKATEBOARDS

Editorial-

Ahh Crimson Skateboard. They are reborn once again as the little company that wouldn`t quit. And that`s their new motto `We Don`t Quit`. It`s a rather ironic motto considering that this company was started by a legendary rider notorious for jumping ships.

Crimson got their start in 06` as somewhat of a carry over from the defunct Hollywood skateboard with Kris Markovich leading the team. Within a month of releasing the line, Kris had to deal with the loss of one of their premier riders when lizard king quit under the rumors of threats from the Norcal syndicate. But Kris soldiered on, and Crimson was a direct reflection of his artistic style and endless perseverance. Kris did all the artwork for the boards and from my talks with him seemed emotionally invested in the company. When I heard Kris packed up and moved to Georgia I wondered about the fate of this fledgling company.

Now in the fall of 08` Crimson`s back, with a fresh new team of am riders, no apparent pros, and none of the artwork that seemed to define the company. They have redesigned the blood drip from the `Bleed Skateboarding` slogan that seemed to leave with Markovich. And their new slogan is `We Don`t Quit`. Well lets be honest, your team captain and head artist quit, Lizard King quit all your initial riders are gone, I guess irony really is the new sarcasm.
But to their credit, they have come back with a talented team, a new website and a decent 5 minute promo. Their boards sport the `We Don`t Quit` logo which might be a bit of an FU. to the founding team, or just a sign that Crimson wants to survive in this intensely competitive market.
