I used to get “rep flow” while I worked at a shop. I got one or two pairs of shoes every other month or so. Also, we know each other! I’m deepernoah’s friend, we skated the warehouse in Philly. Hope you’re doing well!

Gotta box for AYC. It was 7 shirts

Homie was vans flow, 3 pair shoes 2 shirts and some junk

Another friend was Nike 6.0 flow. A huge box full of stuff he’d never wear or want. Snowboard gear, bags, water bottles. I don’t remember how many shoes but it was insane.

For whatever reason I got a theeve box once

Had a pair of trucks, might’ve been two pairs. Some t shirts and a grip of stickers

And that’s a box for a nobody like me. I’d gather flow dudes and homie boxes are pretty filled. Maybe not with the best stuff but free is free

Had a friend that was am for a small company back in the mid to late 90s... He told them what he wanted as far as amounts of hardgoods went. Remember seeing neat little untouched stacks of shirts and jeans in his room though too.

Got a box once with some boards and a corduroy hat with a piece of ducttape across the front with the company name written on it in pen. One of the only logos i was stoked to wear in a long time.

If I was getting flowed excessive stuff I'd be trying to put some away for the future. Try to avoid having to ever buy that item again

Board length rectangle, dude... As many as 10 or so, stuffed with whatever else can fit. Or your standard shipping box. Nothing so special. DNA had their branding allover, but nothing beyond practical shipping/Pizza box cardboard.

boards only last so long. trucks, wheels, bearings, clothes and shoes(to an extent) would be good though.

Vans are pretty generous to flow riders but once again he couldn't get the colours he wanted, he could go to a Vans store and exchange them though.

was that something they let him do or did he have to claim he bought them from the store? i've heard about shops doing trades for sponsored people, but it seems like theyd be getting stuck with the less desirable product most of the time.

vans(canada) was really generous in my experience. when i was interning at a mag i emailed someone there to try to mooch some shoes. they asked what color i wanted so i gave them my first and second choices and they ended up sending both. they also had/have an ordering system called Pro Form(?)where you'd get the same prices a shop would minus 20%. i definitely abused that when i had the chance

more like the shop has to buy more element merch to get the other two and to keep the kid on rep flow.

Ordering boards from the manufacturer is fun, they got their logos all over it and it comes with stickers, it makes me feel like I'm sponsored. I pose with it in front of the mirror and pretend I just went pro for Street League.

first, second, third hand experience or stories?

and of course- ANY AND ALL PICTURES OF BOXES ARE FAIR GAME PALS

I like to use a pair of trousers which have a lot more room in them so that they give me far more freedom of movement. They also make it easier to put in a thigh pad and box. —Glenn Turner
