"\"&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fresh off the news press&lt;\\/em&gt;:&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;This email is to announce the launch of Jereme Rogers&amp;#8217; &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/selfishskateboards.blogspot.com\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;Selfish Skateboards blog&lt;\\/a&gt;. This is only the first step of many to come over the next few months. We will present a 2nd pro skateboarder on July 1 on both the Web site and blog. Expect lots of promo videos, high profile collaborations and skateboard graphics to be unveiled shortly.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;After riding for the largest brands like Plan B and Girl Skateboards, I\\u2019m happy to take a step forward and finally be able to do things on my own terms! Our goal is simple: to sponsor elite skateboarders, pay higher royalties and offer higher quality products. It\\u2019s the skateboarders that make these large companies and I think the cut given to the skater isn\\u2019t fair&amp;#8221;&lt;strong&gt;\\u2014Jereme Rogers&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The skateboards are made with East Coast hardrock Canadian maple in Canada so we have fresh boards that wont snap like a twig. Most brands nowadays manufacture their product in China. Kids end up paying for a sub-par product at the same price as a high-end product. You are basically ripping off kids that put their hard earned money on a product that won\\u2019t last. This is a conscious choice made by many large brands to make larger margins and we at Selfish Skateboards believe that isn\\u2019t right.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;We believe the time for a change has come! We hope the industry will support us in our goal.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe src=\\\"http:\\/\\/player.vimeo.com\\/video\\/12323685\\\" width=\\\"640\\\" height=\\\"360\\\" frameborder=\\\"0\\\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;\\/iframe&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
