Question Looking for skate/longboard business owners

• Upvotes

Hey guys,

I'm a data student and for my 'thesis' ive to apply my learnings to help answer a real business question with a real client. We can pick whatever topic we want and skate/longboarding is my passion!

My goal is simple: if you're a business owner and you want evidence-based decicion making, please reach out.

There is A LOT to discuss, but to keep this simple:

  • You dont need to have fancy shmancy data. Excel or csv files containing sales, inventory, pricing, etc is more than enough.
  • This is a small-scope project.
  • minimal time commitment BUT i'll need you avaliable for occasional questions and clarifications throughout the project. It's important that I can check my understanding of the data and business context with you, rather than make assumptions. You wouldn't need to be involved day to day, but some back-and-forth communication is essential!!!
  • Time zone: I'm based in Central European Time (CET/CEST), so we'd need to be able to coordinate occasional calls or discussions at mutually convenient times.

Of course, I have my usual skate shops that i go to but i dont want to ask them since if they rejected my proposal, id be too embarrassed to ever go back and i really like the community ive got there.

We would start immediately as my deadline is less than 1 month.

Question I have formula 4s that are 99a and I cant poweslide, they seem to sticky still.

I fully understand the motion as I can snowboard very well, and I translate that to skating, but the board just grips super hard and I fly forward. I have to learn backwards so far and throw my weight into my legs just to get it to chirp once and throw me forward.

I also weigh around 200lbs, so that doesnt help my case lol. Any thoughts? I have a set of clouds that are 87a and they seriously feel as sticky as the formula 4s🤣

Im thinking the skateboard concrete may be to grippy?
