Follow on Google News | Atlanta-Based Company “Get A Job Skateboards” Launches Nationwide22 year-old Founder Joseph Izganics Debuts with 25 Designs of Skate Decks, T-shirts Hats, Beanies and Wheels
By: Get a Job Skateboards “Launching GAJ just made sense to me because, since I was 6, skating has really been the only thing that I totally loved,” Izganics said. “I had to figure out how to do what I love for a living so I started with the idea of finding solid quality decks for an affordable price – mostly because I was broke. It wasn’t easy but I did it.” For his 6th birthday, his parents gifted him with a skateboard with huge wheels and plastic trucks, now insanely laughable and quite obviously juvenile. From then on his skating career was a fait accompli. In fact, as a harbinger of things to come, during Little League games, Izganics became known for skating behind the dugout instead of waiting his turn at bat. The GAJ skateboard deck designs range from the Glazed Doughnut and Watermelon Slice Deck to the Ransom Note and Wood Joker. Izganics says he’s not sure if there’s a secret to the best deck and it’s really personal preference, but in general skaters prefer decks that are more concave. Ranging from $10 to $50, additional merchandise includes Snapback Caps, Beanies, Cotton Crew Neck T-shirts and Get a Job’s signature Wheels and Hardware. The GAJ Skateboards blog will be a forum for skaters to find news, products and share stories. The video channel will feature fun footage that will inspire new and seasoned skaters alike to branch out, get the latest skating news and try new tricks.

He also offers some advice, whether it’s for skating or making it in the real world: · Never get discouraged. · Have your own style and always be yourself. · Practice makes perfect and hard work always pays off. · Just have fun if you have a good attitude you can make it. · Always be sure to know your limits.
