People have been saying Reynolds is leaving Emerica for how long now? It's not happening.

I'm backing Winkowski on though if it's true. Wonder why Vans would never promote him from flow.

He never made it past flow? Vans fucking blew it. Dude is so good and he's insanely marketable.

You’ve been missing out dude is the sickest.

Vans isn’t the first to blow it with on Erick tho, first there was the welcome shit then when Santa Cruz finally gave him a board the first run was super small and it took them forever to get more out. Not to mention the popsicle they gave him just says fuckin 8ballr on it lol.

There should be a thread dedicated to taking all typos and word fuckups and attempting to use them in a sentence, or discuss their alternate meanings.

Tommy sat in the bath so long that the tubberwared him out, he was late to class so he couldn't get his DEG.

Quote from: Erick Winkowski
I moved to Seattle and started taking acid and mushrooms and all the drugs made me start seeing everything as a ramp.


Quote from: Erick Winkowski
If I'm on acid I'll go higher than I ever did and I will land it. I'm not scared of anything. I understand how everything works and that's pretty much it. I'm feeling the best. Mushrooms are pretty much the same thing but for a shorter time. Acid lasts a long time. Mushrooms are, like, 30 minutes and then you start to trip and can't skate. Last time I skated a vert ramp I did a bunch of ho-ho variations that I had never done and I was on mushrooms. But it seemed like I knew exactly how to do them.

skating in some indicator highs. must be room since the boss is gonna bounce.

I don't have any reason to assume this of chipped tail in particular, but I get the general sense that people want Reynolds to leave emerica to justify their allegiance to corporate skate brands and bolster there "It isn't selling out, they're just trying to feed their families." arguments. In the meantime Reynolds stated that he bought a two million dollar house to help him get in shape for Stay Gold, which suggests Stella is eating fine. Also a lifetime of career choices suggests Reynolds backs the skater owned economy, New Era being a recent exception, but dude has genuinely been rocking them forever and hats aren't an integral aspect of skating in the ways shoes are. I am speculating of course, outside of once having bummed Reynolds a cigarette at Hubba I don't actually know the dude at all.

Winkowski is a great move, and suggests that they are doing well enough to take a risk on someone who isn't a long haired butt rocker. I do a handstand in any circumstance, much less on coping, and I'd definitely buy some Winkowskis.

They really need to branch out and sponsor more variety of skateboarders. I’d rather watch Winkowski invert than Victor Aceves do a nose grind down a handrail.

i pretty much agree with everything you said. just wanted to point out another exception (but then again, i guess there's no real "core" phone company out there. at least boost puts on skate contests?):

I wonder if emericas playing the long game? I think companies are waitin out until the olympics to see if they can grow back or not.

That just blew my mind. Never occurred to me that some brands would be specifically diversifying their riders between street/vert to get seats in different categories specifically for the olympics. The day that skateboarding turns into something the size of soccer of basketball is the day I can finally tell my friends and family to go fuck themselves because I'm watching the playoffs.

He definitely deserves to get some Fuck You money from the big 4 (Vans, Nike, Adidas or Cons). I'm more into street but the fact he skates those boards and pulls off the shit he does blows my mind.

Edit: TLDR- My fucking mind is blown.
