Exactly, that's why they're doing it right.

You guys buy boards strictly for the graphics and/or to support the pro? Are you rich or something? Damn.
Only one dude in this thread even considered the shape? This will for sure be looked back on as the worst era of skateboarding ever. Thanks, kids.
-
theyre looking at a picture of the board on the internet cant exactly feel out the concave and shit... jesus christ dude.
-
... and already deciding that they're buying it. My point exactly.

I think everyone saying they're buying the board is saying it more out of support for Mike, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did--Deluxe is quality wood. You know what you're getting with them.

only bitches trip off of shapes. i mean if you can't do tricks on a board just because of the shape, then you just fucking suck at skateboarding. i've never bought a board because of the shape. good skaters can kill shit on zip zingers, if its got a tail, there is no reason to be picky. having a slightly steeper concave isn't gonna make you better or worse.

If there's one thing most skaters who 'kill shit' trip on, it's shapes.
Glad Mike Anderson is pro, well deserved.

Yeah, tell that to Mike Carroll.
Dude, you are a COMPLETE FUCKING MORON if you think shape doesn't matter. YOU are what I'm talking about. You're an embarrassment to skateboarding. I can't believe this is even an argument, but this is what skateboarding has become.
You've been taught wrong. If you have an older brother, he needs his ass kicked for letting you become such a douchebag. You get off easy because (I assume) you're only 12.

I had this long winded post about how shape is everything but it turned out to be lame as fuck. It's personal preference. I guess I'd rather be picky and comfortable on my board than not picky and having a fucked day. But seeing as it's Krooked, it's going to be a good shape no matter what. Every Krooked I've had has been perfect, so I'm not stressin.

you're making a fool of yourself. you don't even know me. the saddest thing is you probably think you're right. i mean seriously, how can you mean all those things without actually having seen me skate? because thats what its about right? come on, i'm 18, i ain't got no older brother. but hey, if i'm embarrassing skateboarding, then embarrassing skateboarding is fun.
i mean listen to yourself: "you don't care about shapez d00d??? ur a moron! pretty soon we'll have a generation of skaters who dont care about shapez omg!!1'

Well the whole point of pro models is to actually support your favorite pros. The original intention was for a kid that is super stoked on Justin Brock to buy a Justin Brock deck and support him. Sure shape is important but I think it is important to support your favorite pros, especially when they are as rad as Manderson and when they are in the need like Manderson with a kid and all that shit.
-
...they are in the need like Manderson with a kid and all that shit.
He had to have this kid solely to go pro, that infant put shit in motion.

for the most part i'd agree, but since different shapes / concaves are made wouldn't you rather go with a deck that feels the best in the shop?

Mullet Man, as an older skate rat in his mid 30's right at the moment I must say there is nothing wrong with people being hyped on Mike Anderson getting a board. People want to buy it and ride it. That's dope. When I was younger I did the exact same thing even when I was flowed boards. I bought(or traded for) the first boards and skated them on people I was super hyped on at the time. Reese Forbes first board with the swimming pool graphics. Had it. Quim Cardonas first board. Matt Field. Drake Jones. Josh Kalis. Tim O'Connor. Mike Hernandez(ADI). Frank Gerwer. The list goes on. When I got New Deal boards in the late 90's and early 2000's Kenny Reed got a board. I was amped. Instead of getting 3 tanks a month(Ryan Johnsons') I got the Kenny boards instead. Granted at first it was a bit to skinny for me but whatever....I rode a ton of them anyway. It had nothing to do with the graphics or shape...it was just who I was hyped on and I happened to luck out for the last one. I would have done it more back then if certain people would have ever come out with boards such as Jesse McMillin and Sean Mullendore but they didn't. Fine by me. I still love to watch people come up and when they finally get a board regardless of the shape...I'll usually get it.
Props to Mike Manadis.

Usually Krooked shapes are pretty much the same. If youve skated a 8.1 krooked you know what youre getting.
