Feel sorry for Lizard cause I am sure it was an easy paycheck. Malto continues to get paid and taking the P-Rod route with his career. This and Gatorade alone should be tons of money.

Frosty is looking ooooooold

Does Berra actually even skate anymore? Just wondering because I cant remember the last time I saw anything from him.

steve berra signature xenu series headphones
-
As a natural consumer I like things made well, from my coffee to the headphones I use.
More than enough I find myself breaking Skullycandy's after two weeks of great use.
They have 1 lifetime warranty that I still carry in my pocket for security and emergencies.
I would hope in return with this super squad like natural talent Steve Berra http://youtu.be/Ku38FMzzoWw (http://youtu.be/Ku38FMzzoWw)
and the silent killer Sean Malto http://youtu.be/5j8_nyEcUuI (http://youtu.be/5j8_nyEcUuI)
we will see a full length headphone film, and for once a lasting pair of Skullcandy headphones. Thanks guys,
I really like you all and the warm welcoming.

good for lizard king, those headphones suuuuuuuuuuck

While I'm indifferent to this, Lizard was always wearing headphones in clips and photos. Seems shitty to kick off a guy that was genuinely repping their product.
-
I don't get it: Berra must be super marketable to kids and I'm missing the big picture or he's really good at blackmailing sponsors...
-
Come on Berra

That is what I am saying. Lizard seeme to rep it hard but by the end of it, the Berrics sells and Skull Candy knows it. They even plug that company everytime they do a Text Yoself.

True about Liz, but c'mon who gives a fuck
-
Yeah it's kind of messed up at plumb. He's from Utah and so is skullcandy and I know he has been representing them since day 1. Oh well gotta have berra for all the berrics bs.
-
Wack.

Wack.

funny thing is i got a pair for a birthday present and after 2-3 weeks they blew out..i just bought another pair and switched the old ones inside the packaging and returned em to target.

Duffel said something about being kicked off cause "a guy who owns a skatepark re does the team, and puts all of his friends on"
I think it was from Slap Pals

fucking berra
-
that Berra DVS part made me so sad. Skate More was the first video I watched, and I remember really digging his part.
I also liked how it looked like he filmed his entire part within a 2 block radius
fucking berra...

He could have at least flipped those shitty headphones. Im sure he has.

The last time I saw Berra skate was in the 2011 K.O.T.R footage. One of nikes challenges was to skate street with him. He did one trick...
And I don't know whether he's skated in The Berrics since then, i haven't seen any footage.

I can't belive you guys are talking about headphone sponsors.

Berra is a consultant for skull candy, dc, and some other shit. These companies believe his sctick and have given him complete control of their teams. That ad is the result. As far as I heard his first move was dropping lizard...
-
Surely Skullcandy are making more than enough money to afford to have more than four people on the team?
-
Why do they even have a team?
-
saw this in the busenitz noseblunt cover transworld, thought it was strange that theotis is throwing up the west side gesture

let's just be thankful that berra got kicked off alien workshop.

How does Berra have any influence on the skate community. He lost his dvs shoe years ago, workshop gave him the boot last year, he is not a pro. Just because he runs a website? Dude has no shame, most people would fade away to avoid the embarrassment. But he's still getting sponsors. I dont get it. The higher ups involved in this are fucking idiots. I guess his god xenu has serious power.
-
Skullcandys are the shittest quality headphones, id be more than happy to never buy any Berra affiliated product anyway.
-

Market research has shown that Berra has both a favorable image and high-name recognition factor with kooks. Unfortunately, kooks suck a lot of dick and thus usually have more money than the rest of us. We should expect to see a lot more Berra as companies continue to try to connect with that demographic.
-
i cant believe someone is going to give berra more money. fuck.
-

Ofcourse he skate, you think DC would really put someone on their team and give them a pro show if he didn't skate?
* sarcasm*
-

It's not Skullcandy we're pissed at. It's the fact corporate sponsors drop skaters like Lizard and give it to people like Berra who hardly even skates but is more marketable just cause of the Berrics brand he brings. Even if Berra had some sort of control, he should have helped in keeping Lizard if they can keep Theotis. It's not like it will hurt their budget cause that mother fucking company makes tons of money.

Lizard doesnt need that stupid check, he skates for Supra and Krew.. And fuck Berra and Skullcandy, and Koston too. And I want to punch Theotis, just for the fuck of it.

Maybe it's just me but I get the feeling Berra pictures himself as some kind of next generation Steve Rocco. He has this vibe of truly believing he's changing skateboard for the better, with a "love or hate me now, they'll thank me later" attitude. It's a major bummer. Dylan's summation of Berra in that Monster Children interview hit the nail on the head.

Ah fuck that was a good read. I'm not the type to be a hater but it's good to see that some legitimate figures in the skate industry feel the same way about Berra, instead of just condoning his nonsense.

Kick off one of the hardest working people in skateboarding and put yourself on the team when you haven't put out shit in years? Classy.

The front page of the Berrics used to feature photos sent in by kids, now its DC ads, and now Skullcandy ads.
-
I don't think you guys get it. Berra gets sponsors because he's one of the top actor/directors right now.

that made me laugh as well, also: guess what, back then it looked like he filmed all his part within a two block radius, but now, for the last two years all he skated was one block indoor.

DC's contract is probably over with. Who's next after Skullcandy? Mountain Dew?

Got a pair of skully candy headphones for a birthday present last year. They were without a doubt, the worst headphones I've ever experienced. JVC Gumys were better, if that puts it in perspective for anybody.

Koston looks like a cancer patient. I usually just buy the 9.99 dollar no brand headphones from Target. Those have lasted me longer than any other ones i tried.

"The partnership kicked off earlier this year with a daily Skullcandy segment on the website called, "31 Days of Theotis," which featured Skullcandy team rider Theotis Beasley. Highlights of the partnership include:
*Skullcandy branding, banners and video pre-rolls throughout the The Berrics website.
*Skullcandy branding and product integration in original Berrics content
*A Skullcandy gaming zone located at The Berrics park for skateboarders and staff.
*A state-of-the-art Skullcandy recording studio located on-site at The Berrics park.
*Supreme Sound audio equipment for the new Berrics park and offices.
*Exclusive custom Skullcandy product for Berrics properties such as the Battle at the Berrics, etc.
*Custom Skullcandy product for The Berrics staff.
*Graphics for Skullcandy apparel, accessories, and headphones created by The Berrics design staff."
what in the holy fuck!? The first two are obvious, the third one is stupid but believable but the 4th!? What the hell are they going to do with that?
Am I missing something . . . . . . Is this a joke?

Its for when weezy comes by and gets all inspired and shits from rock to fakies on the 4 footer. He'll drop some stupid fly track about the money and bitches and swag and the berrics, and then berra will finagle his way into the chorus for a few bars singing about skateboarding wouldnt be anything without him and everyone will be like YEAH BOYYYEE!
but the beat wont be very good...

It is strange. It's a gang sign, and totally lame to bring anything like that into skateboarding. Theo is cool and surely meant nothing by it, but it's pretty lame when you think about it's implications and how it can be interpreted.
So I'm from Canada, does that mean I should make an N with my fingers every time somebody says my name or takes my photo? so lame.
typical Canadian

I have another theory. Pizza makes kids fat. Fat kids lack energy to skate. Less time spent skating means more time to watch crap on berrics. Berra wins and gets big bucks from his secret candy/hamburger/pizza/soda/whatever fat people eat sponsors.
Then its just a matter of time until Berra has enough money to buy DNA from Dyrdek and kick Dylan from the team. Revenge is a dish best served cold, xenu is a genious!
