I'd imagine it would be hard for Lakai to continue paying a 40 year old veteran pro who now apparently lives in Copenhagen. Nike and their euro division might be able to do that.

like 2 days lol. he just had some footy in the new jovontae shoe, maybe you're thinking of jb gillet. still on the team page for now

seems lakai is consolidating around the young guys which makes sense. not many euro ambassadors left on the flare tho, which is a shame. jesus was crail head to toe (chocolate, lakai, royal), wonder if it means less focus on 360 deals in future

his part in the forthcoming chocolate video should be good. dude's been super active, esp for 40

He posted this recently. This is fine art right here:

Sucks if he leaves Lakai but he's been on for a long time, he's older, he's got a family, so if Nike pays him more that's great for him. Do they pay pros who aren't officially on the team, like Dani Lebron (who had that Nike part but isn't on the team page)?

i doubt it's more money tbh, probably more in the way of travel opportunities, gear, staff filmer, etc. gives nike a bit more street cred when they hook up these OG's

Dani has been on the Spain team for ages with JM Roura, Jura, Eric J or Adrian del Campo. As mentioned they have one filmer exclusively for the Nike riders in Barcelona and they get paid

Someone will need to help me with the timeline but I’m pretty sure he was kicked off of Chocolate at one point in between videos. I think right after Yeah Right and he was added back pretty promptly.

  I'm waiting for Lakai to pull the plug. When ever I see that logo, it looks like a ripped off Nike swoosh.

If Huf is gone wouldn’t Lakai go too? How’s that all work out?
