Companies you thought a skater would never ride for

[ChronicBluntSlider]

Lance Mountain on Flip is the worst combination I can think of.
Burnquist on Flip is still strange as well.

Also, to me Lenoce never really fit on Baker.

I dont think Lenoce ever rode for anyone else..
As his name on SLAP states.. Og baker.

Holy Shit! Hahahaha

that really didnt surpise me. Slutzka just seems like a "i want the gold, give me the gold" kinda guy

A.k.a a shit head..

But as to the topic, I don't know who Dennis Durrant is skating for right now, but I know probably isn't getting hooked up like he should be.  He's a friend of my cousin and he's too legit to quit and squeaky clean pimpin

pardon my french

[HATE!]

Has anyone thought to give the idea of sponsorship to a coconut water company?  I'd be pretty psyched if I was a pro and VitaCoco wanted to drop off cases at my house.

Im surprised theres no cigarette sponsors in skateboarding. Drehobl has to get hooked up.

This by far is the most disturbing thing.My girlfriend couldn't figure out why I was crying for two weeks straight. Companies Shit fuck J-Rog and Selfish, but if he came up to me and said I want you to ride for me, here's boards and a paycheck, I would cash the checks and sale the boards at the local park. Money is money, and no matter where you get it, it all spends the same.

You're a god damn moron too.  Heath retiring is in no way relevant to the thread title and everything else you wrote made me want to run over your pet.

 I don't really have any personal issues with Nike, but I do think that it's pretty amazing that they've managed to acquire a very legitimate team. When they first shot into popularity I thought they'd only go for Dew Tour types but they are sending checks to Lance Mountain, Chet Childress, Brian Anderson, Stefan (obviously), Gino, and a whole host of amazingly talented up-and-comers. I realize that it is very simple to achieve a super-team like that with the corporate dollar, but clearly someone at Nike had the sense to hire someone with a lot of knowledge about skateboarding. I am not trying to turn this into a I Love/I Hate Nike thread, but overall I'm surprised that they have the team they do.

 I'd also have it known that Nike's presence in the shoe game is detrimental to many beloved skater-owned companies, but the Koston is just such a good shoe...

He isn't contractually hooked up, but I saw this on Arto's Instagram page. I'd be jealous if it was Blue Monkey, O.N.E., Zico, or CocoZona, but still.. rad.

Don't forget that you'd also be teammates with Rhianna. Win and win.

You could do that, but then I would have to rape you and your mother, and fucking your mom doesn't sound all that fun to me, however you......let's just say it would be a good time. Also the Heath comment is relevant, I thought that he would stay in the game for awhile longer. Dude is the man.

Weren't Arto and Caswell on Camel at some point?

[Thrillho]

Corey Duffel on Toni and Guy was kind of jarring.  Not that I didn't think he would go for it; just that I didn't want to believe in Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan.

Good at shoes but overall bad at skateboarding to me
