Could be a player. You never know.
Add EVDR to your ihub my stocks people. Some of you guys have been here since June, and still haven't...
wonder if we'll see more stuff like this...Click for an old EVDR video
If you delve into the subculture of skating, you would see Critic is in a PERFECT spot here. Transversely, the name Critic opens up all sorts of mainstream, non skating customers. I have bought Etnies, Volcom, and Billabong products in the past, and had no idea they were from this industry.
Doubt most care, or will take the time to read this guy's master thesis; but pages 18-25 are good. Branding bitches.....click
Let's hit up these 24k club members, and get them to buy this up. Athletes love terrible investments. LOL
It's all gonna happen at the same time. Plus we still have no official endorsements, retail deals, or board members. Plenty to come in the next few months.....
I am hoping this can be different than every other board on shorthub.....
Out of 15,000 pinkies, this is the only one i invest in. This one is hard to flip, but news could help you out...
# of trips plays that are current pink sheet apparel companies in the skate and surf market with with celebrities wearing their brand?.... Obvious just Critic Clothing.....
Lets close at .0011... The higher the better if this news has any substance.
It was updated a few days ago
Yeah, what's up that wwio? Is that worth looking into?
gone, now
that your buddy?
Sounds like a wise plan
There are very few of these companies publicly traded. Volcom had a $19/share IPO, and a buyout at $24.50, which pissed off investors. Of course this is oranges to apples considering share amount. I think their IPO had under 5 million shares.......
LOL. This 13 year old article still holds true... This part made me lol
As for skateboarding, I’m not sure about a way for investors to cash in on the two-point-something billion dollars industry, still in many ways in its infancy as a recognized extreme sport, despite skateboards having been around in their present form (sort of) since 1959. To my knowledge, there’s no direct way to invest in the sport at this time although some of the sport’s gear, like shoes, is made by publicly traded companies like Nike (NKE), for instance.

OUTSIDE THE BOX: Skateboarding? For Profit?
By Shelley Souza, Optionetics.com 9/3/2002 9:00:00 AM
I was not surprised to read online yesterday that skateboarding is a multi-billion dollar business. When I stayed with my cousin recently in Western Canada, she told me that her teenage son can sometimes go through a skateboard in a week. I was surprised by that, and not surprised: seeing the tricks skaters do, it’s a wonder the boards last even a week. But it does beg the question: why haven’t board manufacturers begun making skateboards more durable? Money is a factor, in that they (the manufacturers) get more of it as skateboards use the laws of physics to torque against a human body flying through the air or navigating surfaces suspiciously antithetical to the nature of wood and wheels. But the other side of the money equation is the consumer. As my cousin said, it’s a very expensive sport. At $60-$100 a board, it’s not an activity she can afford to support indefinitely, even though her son is an extraordinary skater. He gave up his bedroom to me while I was there; one wall was covered with The Gathering, Magic game cards, but the rest were covered with magazine photographs of skaters and equipment ads. I became aware during my visit that skateboarding is a much bigger industry than I had imagined.
In a circuitous manner, I arrived at an article about skateboarding (again) yesterday when I was doing a little research on Barnes and Noble (BKS). I had seen one recommendation by an analyst last week to buy the stock, and every time I go into my local store, it seems to be packed with browsers and buyers. But today I was reading the Zacks report on reasons to sell the Barnes and Noble stock right now. The primary one being that even though the company posted a gain of 2 cents a share in its second quarter, compared to a loss of 3 cents in the same quarter the previous year, it missed its forecast by 8 cents, which Zacks said “is never a good sign.” The report added that there is reason for investors to be optimistic in the future but that they should wait for the company’s earnings to show real positive results before investing.
As for skateboarding, I’m not sure about a way for investors to cash in on the two-point-something billion dollars industry, still in many ways in its infancy as a recognized extreme sport, despite skateboards having been around in their present form (sort of) since 1959. To my knowledge, there’s no direct way to invest in the sport at this time although some of the sport’s gear, like shoes, is made by publicly traded companies like Nike (NKE), for instance. But the article I read, courtesy of the Orange County Register and Knight Ridder, was actually about a skateboarding video magazine (a v-zine, perhaps?), called 411 Video Magazine, which some followers call the skater’s bible, the piece said. That’s what caught my eye. The video magazine has recently been taken up by Best Buy, Tower Records and Sam Goody; they’re hoping for Barnes and Noble.
That got me thinking: imagine all those skateboarders hunched over the magazine racks in Barnes and Noble doing the occasional ollie (basically a jump, or aerial movement, in which the board remains flush with the skater’s feet, created in 1978 by Alf Gelfand), or flying high over free-standing book cases. Would they create new tricks to fit the different book sections—the Science Fantasy Flip Toe-Heel Twist, or perhaps the Russian Roulette Roller over the Russian fiction section? Would the fact of being in Barnes and Noble encourage street skaters to spend more time reading (and thus generate even more income for the mega bookstore company)?
According to the history of skateboarding online at interlog.com, many of the pro skaters since the eighties have been branching out and creating boutique skate equipment companies. By and large, skateboarding, despite its waves of popularity, remains an underground sport (until it becomes part of the Olympics, as snowboarding has, I guess?). It’s this underground cult factor that holds it back from being big business, as in a publicly tradable entity. But skaters have to wear clothes and shoes, and skateboard manufacturers have to use timber and steel. Investors who are interested in pursuing this potential niche of strong risk to reward (the same risk to reward factor is true for the skaters as well) may find that there are ways to covertly invest in the sport by seeking out publicly traded clothing retail and hardware companies that supply the skateboarding industry. At any rate, it was something to think about on a rainy Labor Day holiday when the markets were closed and sensible skaters were home treating their boards, although sensible skaters is probably an oxymoron, at best, when one considers we’re talking about people defying gravity (and seemingly the laws of physics) with a length of wood on wheels.
As always, trade carefully.

Awesome. Me too..
I hear ya. I am hoping for that too....
The default setting on many sites starts at .01 to even make the list. click
Need this up to a penny to get on the radar.
2,400,000 here
You and Jimbo alone own 5% of the float
741 shareholders. Looks like many of us have much more than the average number of shares here. I'm not a math wiz, what is that, a little over a million per shareholder. Is this even something to look at? I think this message board has about 1/4 of the shares.
You really had to look hard initially. The 24k club addition was big IMO. The website looks much better now. Snagged the first online deal. Quite a few pinkies in the apparel industry trade for big bucks. Billabong (BLLAF) is also a clothing company in the skate and surf industry, and had been $18/share. I would take $18 bucks, but would settle for .18 or .018 for that matter.
In a few years we will be golden. But what do i know, i drink Critic flavored Koolaid
So they have to sell at .0017 just to break even?
So they got 190 million shares, and the 325 is wiped out?
Korean Critic would trade at multiple dollars if publicly traded. Same with Critics from the U.K.
kids brother has a PHD in stochastic analysis. This may be irrelevant, or super important here.....
Gotta think an actual non ihub pump is in the works, at the least.....
I am seeing a TON of sites like Elite Stock Picks, etc. pimping EVDR.
I know something happened OCT 2nd. I don't know if it was dilution or debt conversion, or what the deal was. Either way it wasn't 325k worth.
I don't think it has been converted yet, or at least the full amount. I'm sure will respond to this, as it is the only thing we are talking about...
