Well what riders have you heard?

do you realize they were pro before?
rick howard and carroll did the same with girl.
same with pontus over at bipolar.
and cliche with jereme dachlin.
so on and so on.
-
If an owners board doesn't sell at all then they'd be losing money rather than making it. If you're putting in the work, making yourself pro just makes sense.

let's hope for another triangle logo.
Funny you say that, this was the logo in an industry e-mail shier circulated a few weeks ago. Not sure if Triangle is actually the name of the company or just a place holder til they come up with something. Looks pretty tight IMO.

Damm, I must remember to watch my Nosferatu dvd, keep putting it off and watching the walking dead instead.

What the fuck, you're right. Looks like it's not the company logo but just the logo of the investor's company? I found this under the "Other Sports" section.
http://www.trianglefs.com/ssp/other_sports (http://www.trianglefs.com/ssp/other_sports)
"Triangle Sports is always looking to invest in and become a part of emerging sports ventures both in the U.S. and internationally.
To submit a potential sports business opportunity, please e-mail us at [email protected]."
I'm not usually a fan of outside money coming into skating. But if it gets Shier and Jensen paid then I'm down.

i like triangles yo...
squares are dope, Circles dope..Fuckin with them Rhombus'
That Parallelogram go super hard in the paint too
-
i would be super keen to surport this company, as long as the name isn't triangle
me be getting sick of this trend, and thats all it is, a trend. in one week out the next, itwould be stupid to dedicate a company to the summer trend of 2012, it would be like if osiris changed there name to d3 in 2001

There was an interview with "the other Muska" in Big Brother back in the day.
He turned himself pro for his own company called Muska Skateboards.
There was a photo of a lipslide on a small skatepark rail wearing shades, boombox backpack, and headphones.

That's my guess. In Nick Jensen's interview he mentions the whole team is on a filming trip together and the name is one word shortened down from a longer name they had in mind. So far it seems like it's Nick, Paul Shier, Sylvain Tognelli, Jon Nguyen and Tom Knox.

Maybe they were going to call it Celestial or something like that. I'm already stoked on this. Will be buying boards for sure.

I know it won't happen, but if they just said "fuck it, it's triangle." They would win skateboarding.

Hey kelly hart, you should make your own company and turn yourself pro....

My guess is nowhere. He's a pile these days. Sad, as I like his skating too.
-
That unknown pleasures style triangle gif is strangely erotic. Or maybe i've just had a weird day.
Don't think the company is called Celeste.

heard it`s called Broadcast, would make sens to... Tuukka will probably go to Perus, feel like he never really put out the part I belive he`s capabel of...he`s a unique skater ,always really dug his style! Come on and put out some footy Tuukka!
-
There's already a Broadcast Wheels.
-
And Paul Shier actually rides for them.

Tukka is riding for Rufus skateshop in barcellona and have a board out for them.
Rufus is the shop inside the macba.

if Lowry isn't on, that'd be a big mistake

Polar was made at Trap, don't know if it still is, but I think so? Almost every shop board and smaller company around my area is made at Trap, and its usually super good. Can't really recognize the tearing apart thing?
-
Polar is Trap/Mdcn in Europe and Generator in the US. Palace/Landscape is DSM.
I dont like the trap wood and shape.
-
Never heard anything bad about polar boards , would suprise me too if Alv was fucking around with bad wood when you see how hands on he is on everything about the company
And whats up with all the hate on chinese and mexican board producers ? China for one is one of the bigger producers of everything in the world and alot of it is high quality . Alot of jokes , but most of it is good
Never really heard that much good about Made in America ? I mean ford was always a shit car
-
That first batch of Polar boards that was available in the US was the MDCN wood. The one I had was pretty sturdy, good quality wood. The shape was a little off though. As far as the US-Made Polar boards, I don't like them. I had a couple of Hjalte's boards and they were so so flat. The nose and tail weren't arched high enough either. They got soggy pretty quickly. Generator has two different wood qualities to pick from, I wonder if Polar is using the lower quality wood.

True, but they can charge mad ??? for those shirt and accumulate enough funds to make boards.
