Well I will be attending Maryhill, and the money I saved from buying from MBS and such helped me get there. I'm also pretty sure MBS is a part sponsor of Maryhill festival of speed.

Ado sources gear faster than anyone else, has a great repor with suppliers which means the products you get him chasing get to you faster than anyone else, and way cheaper. Plus, if you order one day, you generally get the product/s the next if it's in stock, or the second day at the latest.
Downhill, Luge or Classic, Ado supports Aussie events and fund raisers for crew who need it, regardless of your needs or discipline, not something every other Aussie skate shop can say.
Support the shops that support you, so you can race or play!!!

Maybe because the dollar is so high at the moment the next order the Aus distributor makes will be cheaper than normal because we at $1.10 and the price drop will continue all the way to shops so that the australian shops will be more competitive against the US ones again?
People are only buying from Overseas because of the dollar. A year ago buying a dervish from daddies cost some kid in my suburb $450 just because he didn't know about Aus shops.
Either the dollar will drop and US shops will get more expensive or it will stay higher and Australian shops will inevitably get cheaper if the distributor is paying less.
But talking about skate shops here is something that confuses the fuck out of me.
You go to shops like goodtime and boardstore at the sunshine coast to have a look around. and as you expect they sell otangs and shit for like $100-120 for a set of wheels. Then they are selling top brand decks like S9 DH division for $199. The same as hopkin and ado. wtf is up with that?
if they can afford to sell decks at a competitive price why are all of their wheels so ridiculously priced?

I've never sold ordinary otangs for 100-120, not sure where you get that from. Sector 9 is a big company so can make volume cheap, they have a suggested retail and often have stern words with you if you deviate from that. All the other brands are not so big and therefore can't make there gear as cheap and can't sell it to us as cheap but they don't have a suggested retail so we can tweak the price a bit.
Last year newtons cost me about 10 grand, it was money well invested, helped the Aussie scene and helped asra. Sending young Australians to Canada and maryhill is costing me about 5 grand, again money well invested cause it helps young Australians compete for our country on a world stage. The question is do I get that money back? Not really. Does it feel good and is it the right thing to do? Yes
