i would think customers would want to know if a pro is not getting any $ when a company is using their name...

I agree.... but reading your response you automatically assumed his family was getting no money.

"So No royalties to Joe lopes family?"

Maybe if you asked "does the Lopes family make any royalties off of these boards?" It might have come across differently.

Sorry I haven't read through the thread but does anyone know if Professor Schmitt is part of these or who is making them? Somehow they just seem too lame, too poor quality and too non-supportive of past riders and artists for him to have anything to do with them.


Paul has no involvement. Solely produced by Dorfman

Hold up, is this true? Damn.


I spoke with Bryce this past weekend and he confirmed that the Lopes family isn't getting a penny.

So there is your answer.....You either knew that when you originally posted or you searched it out afterwards. Either way it didn't change how you posted. You came in on the attack right out of the gate instead of asking...That was my point
