Support your scene, your local players...and yourself.

No matter where on earth you are, let's keep the money tight within our grassroots chopping and riding community so we can turn around and invest back into it. 

Let's not send our hard-earned US currency to giant overseas factories in exchange for lesser-quality, soulless, industry-mimicking, mass-produced, ethically-questionable stuff.

Anyway, the major vibe of our part of the scene is Americana, and with each dollar going yonder, each non-grassroots part coming in, it becomes more and more just like any other scene; interchangeable with any other market, including the ones you hate.

In the spirit of what we've got going here, dare to be different, buy American or with those who keep the integrity of it with grassroots artisan-level Americana approaches, and keep the vibe alive.
