So one of the most OG, community supporting skate shops in Canada, just had their window smashed! Sadly they’ve already been struggling financially, and the city just told them they’ll be fined $500 a day it’s not fixed! You know, instead of the government helping a small business that’s been a victim of the massive crime problem that THEY created!!!
Now I have to admit that I’ve tried to onboard him for a while, and he’s just a stubborn guy who doesn’t trust crypto yet, because he just sees all the crazy stuff, and hasn’t really seen what true web3 community can do! So I’m going to send him whatever this post earns, as well as encourage anyone that’s in the position to help to reach out to Flatspot, and maybe by showing him we care and can help, he’ll warm up to the idea of joining the community!
Here’s one of his most recent YouTube videos he posted. Mostly he’s active on insta, but I’ll see if I can get him to post some more stuf, or even join when he sees this.
Hopefully he’ll join.

Well he just told me he is interested, and is mostly just overwhelmed at the moment. So I told him I could help him out next time I’m in the shop, and make it much easier for him with templates and such.
Appreciate the tip🙏

This story really resonated here. It's inspiring to see you step up to help this skate shop — it shows the power of our community and determination. Here in Brazil, we also face very similar challenges: our governments don't support small businesses or community projects, and it's almost always the skate community that makes things happen.
Now, with the support of web3, we're starting to see even more opportunities to create lasting impacts, and it's amazing how these decentralized communities can come together to solve real problems!!
I truly believe that your efforts to connect this shop with web3 can open up new possibilities, not only for this shop, but for the entire skate scene in Canada and change the entire game, making skaters independent and self-sponsoring!!
Keep up the good work! You have our support, bro.
Let me know how I can help spread the word or contribute to this cause. Skaters everywhere will understand this fight and together we are stronger. ✌️🛹
I'm currentlyntrying tonscrogue together some funds for flatspot. But I just dropped a bunch on my kids braces.
