When he says another company bites his shit ... is that Real? It’s seems they bite everything FA does from full size shapes to graphic embossing. Although, I don’t know, real does not use PS & I forget what other shop FA uses.
What you guys think? I’m actually going to break my code and come back & read a thread I posted on.
Great interview ... I was pleasantly surprised to see Pickle in there this morning.
-
Around 1:56:30, he talks about how some board company prevented FA from putting out holographic boards sooner. Any thoughts on which board company it was???

seems like he was calling out the woodshop itself.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about wknd

real, primitive, FA all got embossed decks around the same time. new technology comes out and the woodshops start offering it to the brands that wanna use it. one brand might have been first to use it but the others arent biting that brand they are just trying new special features the woodshop offers. it was the same when split stains came out.
FA wknd and Quasi use the same mold, have the same concave, wheelbase, and big wide nose.

Except embossed decks and split veneers are nothing new.
-
Not true fa had embossed decks 1st run
-
no one is saying they didn't
but e.g. alien workshop made embossed decks forever ago (that honeycomb pattern), so they're hardly the first to do it

Didn't Dill say himself FA is mix of all the things he's experienced?
also, didn't someone else do lenticular decks before in the 90s or 80s?

Also those fat nose shapes are based off of old alien boards, which probably came from something else as well. Havnt listened yet, I wouldnt say Dill invented anything he is doing but I see where he is coming from in that he started using it again and others caught on, the same way the HUF classic kind of brought back toe caps. Even the class photo thing is an old chocolate series.
-
ZERO used to emboss back in the tum yet days.
-
Great interview. Dill really poured his heart out!
-
He's a great father to his children.

this! and while I said I'm coming around to Dill in another thread he has to get off his high horse about being so "original" and dissing people for "biting his shit". You're biting planet earth circa 1992 and also the whole terminator board idea from Sanchez/ Blind

Yeah in an interview johan talked about dill hating wknd and saying they were biting. It's hilarious to me because they are opposites. wknd is all about fun and not taking skating super seriously and FA / Hockey is a bunch of art jocks who take everything suuuuuuuper serious
-
Episode did not disappoint. Dude experienced more from 15-19 than some people do their whole life. Not to say it was positive and/or developmental but being around the talent, spots and witnessing the golden era was what we 90s skaters dreamed of.
-

Cause there ain't no father to his style. That's why he the Ol' Dilly Bastard

I'm a Dill fan but it irks me when he can so brazenly omit that so many of his "inventions" are homages or just one step above what has already been done. I can't tell if it's a lack of of self awareness or an all consuming self awareness.

Dill is a character for sure.
He seemed to take being regarded as a modern "Rocco" as a compliment; kind of odd, considering he seems hell-bent on doing things "his way".
Maybe he's just too self absorbed to realize, but either way. These guys have quirks like anyone else, who cares if he's doing it right for the most part. FA/Hockey are killing it.
-
Wow, he's so impressive.

Wow, he’s so impressed with himself.

Also curious which company he was saying constantly rips off FA, I know there are several that do it but you can tell there is one specifically he is taking about. Someone mentioned WKND but I really doubt that. I'm thinking Real, Primitive, or Zero

Goal!
-
This was one of their best episodes. One thing that's dope about Dill is he is never scared to show he's a fanboy deep down. Everybody should watch Tim & Henry's Pack Of Lies at least 100 times in their lifetime.
-
His thoughts on the Hosoi episode are exactly what everyone was thinking.

I enjoyed it, I’d love to have had some Dylan stories. When all these dudes do other stuff they seem to get some dope stories about Dylan out of em where as these guys seems to avoid the topic unless the bring it up. Crob just straight up asked why 2016 was the worst year seemingly ignorant to the fact Dylan passed and the toll it took on the company with him being their most prominent pro and all.
I want to know which real am was hating on the name to nakel. As for the biting and blocking comment he only mentioned the holographic being an issue and no one has one so I’m assuming he’s calling out a wood shop or something. Who cares he puts himself on somewhat of pedestal , he obviously really appreciates the culture and the stuff he’s appropriating. Hopefully kids take note and look more Into the stuff he’s inspired by. I think it’s needed right now. I had a kid today and ask me a few other dudes at the park if we grew up when they’d flip kick flips with their hands . I’m 25 and and my buddies 22. The history of skating and the age a lot of us on here are hyped on seems lost on kids these days and it’s only been like 6-7 years of the whole social media, free full length and solo part era took off. Dill said himself In this episode the key to making a company is narcissism and over confidence , seems he follows his own advice, and it seems to being working for him. This was sick and I’m glad we have dudes like him in the industry doing everything themselves just for the love that has to be added stress on top of still being expected to Skate at a pro level.
I’d actually love to see him sit and down and talk with Ellington and Reynolds about running board companies and still skating and their different approcahes to the business side of it. Reynolds has always outwardly said he is more of hands off owner when it comes to the business and overall running of the company and focuses on skating and scouting new talent and stuff and middle manning for hr type stuff but his position has likely shifted more to dealing with business stuff as they became a distributor. Dill started FA at a way later age so I’d be interested in hearing his views on it having essentially run workshops team stuff but not their overall image or products.
If only we could get pros to start pushing for smaller shoe brands but at least boards are selling well enough that smaller independent brands can survive. Though Id guess with FA soft goods and small production runs fuel their success instead of selling a bunch of boards.

Bill posted something on Instagram from this interview where Dill was talking shit on dads and Rieder’s dad left some odd comments on it, I got a screenshot but I can’t post it for some reason.
-
kinda odd
-
kinda odd
I hope his account was hacked or he was drunk and misinterpreted that quote out of context (it evolved from Dill talking about his dad going to jail).
Maybe he just has a bunch of resentment towards Dill as he appears to blame Dill for giving Dylan drugs.
-
He’s dads seemed off his rocker for a minute from what I saw lurking through his insta after Dylan died. Bummer if he feels that way as I feel like Dylan wasn’t influenced by those guys usage and his problems were all his own and he chose his poison on his own. It’s always felt like Dill really loved and was incredibly inspired by Dylan’s passion and spirit and hence took him in and pushed his career choices. All of The Dylan’s stories people tell portray and incredibly driven and self aware person. I just don’t see him being used or influenced by another person close to him. At least not with drugs and stuff.

I too saw that and agree with that. Also, even if Dylan's epicly later'd, Dill talks about how Dylan was "more fucked up than him". I actually stopped following Rieder's dad on instagram because it became too much. And in terms of what brand Dill is referring to, it's definitely WKND. He hates Grant and Molinar.
-
Why does he hate Molinar? I still don’t see where WKND has copied FA.
-
He misspelled poosey.
-

understatement of the year.
If I could give advice to myself 5 minutes ago, it would be to just assume he's always been/will be a good guy and not go to Dylan's dad's insta

Sorry to say as a parent losing your child would be the worst thing no matter how your child was taken. I’m sure a lot of it is Dylan’s dad Is venting and has a lot of frustration with wanting to blame somebody. I usually don’t post serious stuff on this message board at all. I think in general losing a loved one no matter how it happened you want to blame somebody.
