No hate, but don't care for them anymore because of Sheckler, Jereme R,  and some of the worst graphics.

WORST GRAPHICS ARE THE TREND IN SKATEBOARDING..

FLIP = SHIT
ELEMENT = SHIT
AWS = WENT KIND OF DOWNHILL
BLIND = SHIT
ALMOST = SHIT

BUT THE SHECKLER THING IS KINDA TRUE 
 J RODGERS IS GOOD THOUGH EXCEPT FOR THAT WRIST MOVEMENT. ITS LIKE HE IS SKATING WITH A BUTT PLUG IN HIS ASS

I MEAN PAUL IS BORING TO WATCH BUT DUDE IS FUCKING SICK

BUT PLAN B IS LIKE THE MOST HATED BOARD COMPANY ON THIS BOARD

Duffy and Wenning are not enough for me to like a team. Are you looking forward to Danny giving himself last part again?

the video will be amazing and their graphics are no worse than real's.

i'm not too stoked on sheckler being on there but if ternasky was still around he would have put him on too.

i never liked them because i felt they "bought" their team.
the long and short of it is, they poached all the best guys from other companies by throwing money at them.

the old plan b was a real team, the new plan b is simply a bought team.

I tend to feel this way, and that has nothing to do with the skill on the team.

I don't hate the team, but I'm not partial to the company since I remember the real Plan B.

This is pretty much the main reason. Theres some other stuff (their graphics are horrid, for example, and I can imagine most of the skaters on the team training instead of skating for fun), but that's pretty much the main reason.

I don;'t mind that they brougfht the company back, it's some of the team and the poor quality in graphics. when you pay that much for the team, spend some cash on a quality graphics person.

if they actually took the time to aquire/build their own talent instead of cold calling through skateboarding "who's hot" roldex, they might have earned my respect. 
instead they used greed/money and tried to re-establish themselves in skateboarding(not that others haven't, just not to the degree they did) which i have very little respect for.

plan b talented?...for sure.
plan b respected?...i think not. 



and don't even get me started on their weak excuse for graphics...or rolling billboards if you will.
i have more creativity in my left nut than their entire art dept.

that's complete bullshit, other than danny and colin none of the original team were friends before the company started and even after it did they didn't skate together a lot, except when coach ternasky was driving them around in his van refusing to let them out until they got their line.

my use of the term "real team" was to say they actually protrayed themselves as a tight knit group of skaters.
granted it was easier to convey that back then, kind of like how everyone thought the bones brigade all chilled and lived together even though they were all really far away from one another. 

my point being in the days of old, i felt they actually put a team together.
in the days of new, i feel they bought a team, slapped plan b on the box, and put it up on a shelf at walmart.

so you're saying that the first time round you were fooled by the marketing and the second time you weren't but either way your entire opinion of a company is based on it's marketing?

the team feels like a dream team ready for the Olympics... i like a team that is put together because of style and image not a dream team that can all gap the great wall.... plus the fact in an interview sheckler referred to skating as "training" lost alot of respect for him... and some for the team putting him on there and not slapping the shit out of him.

to otis,

^i would like to discuss this further but you never make a point, you just post whatever BS to get a rise out of people....trolling posts if you will.
i know this may be a tough one for you but why don't you try answering the question of the original poster instead of arguing with someone elses answer/opinion.

i thought that post was a bit opinionated... my reference to the 'dream team' fact it was bought... sheckler's status and why that has a bit of sour taste to the team for me... i enjoy humor... so there will always be some hint of it in my posts... does this make me a kook?

Reasons why i don't like plan b:
- I would have hoped that someone like danny way (who has been around for longer than I have) wouldn't sponsor Sheckler and Jereme Rodgers as the first embodies what skateboarding doesn't need (to be), and the second someone who used to be sick, but whose style got awfull. Both can execute amazing skateboard tricks, but for me they are skaters i will not support, for the above reasons and some more.
- indeed the graphics do leave something to be desired
- at one point, i believe it is less right now, the whole team looked like one other, there was no point in telling who was who, it seemed as if the whole team was pressed through one mold and came out very uninspirered and depressed.

These are the points I can think of right now, there are probably more little things they could have done better, but to scrutenize that would take too much time and would be unfair.
