Rodney Torres and Official split

[sergio]

For the last two years, Rodney Torres has been the face of Official Skateboards. Due to unfortunate circumstances beyond our control, Rodney has decided to move on in his career. We would like to thank Rodney for everything he has done for Official and for the commitment he made in building the brand. While his absence from the team will be felt by all of his family and friends here at Official, we would like to wish Rodney only the best in all his future endeavors.

Although we are very sad to see Rodney go, Official will continue making quality skateboard products. We have been spending a lot and time and effort building a flow team, trying to help them come up. Be on the lookout for a lot of footage and photos from Pedro Garboza, Bobby Izzo, Shane Perry, and Derick Ziemkiewicz. These kids are going to be a fixture in skateboarding for a long time and we are proud to be supporting them.

DUDE ISNT GONNA RIDE FOR ANYBODY...IF HE WAS..HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THAT COMPANY 2 YEARS AGO AND NEVER WASTED TIME WITH THAT OTHER COMPANY !

too much time in the shadow...

[ginzberg]

switch 3flip k-grind on the step up ledge at fmp... that's all that needs to be said


I'm wondering if pete eldridge and maldanado might be going where rodney is.... aren't they all getting adidas kicks?

Probably wishful thinking, but i'd love a video with those three in it.  Rodney Torres should be at the top of everyone's 'underrated list'.
