Birdhouse Departs from Blitz, Baker Remains

Don’t believe all the rumors. “Baker is staying with Blitz”, says the Boss, Andrew Reynolds. At the same time, Blitz Distribution announces that after a 15-year partnership, Birdhouse will no longer be distributed by the group. Per Welinder, the President of Blitz is in the middle of talks to a couple of well established brands to bring them into the Blitz stable. He cites, “In this tough economic climate it can be a good time to bring new things to the table for the shops and the skate community and we are hopeful to make announcements about new brands for Blitz to offer in the very near future.”
