umm i have skated with ben as well, he was kind enough to take me out on my first dh run and show me the basics

and because he is not a member of the ASRA u say he is not part of the australian skate scene?
seems a little silly to me, but im not looking for an argument so im gonna drop it

I don't know, I and and a number of other people have skated with Ben a few times, his family and have been given lifts by him.
But yeah, he doesn't pay as much attention as he could to Australia.

Well for one, I have actually skated with them. I have never seen Ben at an Australian event or free ride and I dont believe he is a member of ASRA. For an Australian skate company he sure lacks in his Australian social networks. Glyde is a damn fine example of an Australian skate company and Hopkin, creative skate and board shop are others. They work out of Australia, they skate Australia, they have done alot for our scene over here and most importantly, they are mates.
Grom Biz cannot claim any of the above.

Well it is his like only source of income and he has to expand his market overseas(where th big bucks are) so he has to go overseas and explain his product it is not like anything other skateboard. No one will just trust him they will have to be shown. But i am sure once his company has a solid market over sees he will be involved in the Aus skate scene. He is not just a retailer he is a manufacturer

Ben is alright. In the early years before ASRA was around Ben was a big part of the scene. He always turned up at races, like the Bangalow Slalom Nationals. He organised a few events.
With a unique product and as a manufacturer, he had to move into bigger markets.
