can you provide us with a little more proof that he is selling and welcoming the sale of his decks for blanks?
A recorded phone call, anything?

What is on there looks pretty standard for any business to have on their site. I'm curious to hear more.

Swank owns Watson Laminates and Watson makes shop decks. Swank is also a member of the IASC.

Yeah, sometimes I need a sitdown or an update or two.

I agree, that's whack!

what the fuck was that

I used to look up to the guy. Even thought of him as a mentor. One of the first to start his own skate company,skateboarder, photographer, humorist, etc. He broke my heart when he asked me to knowingly lie to people. Start skateboarding again, Tod. You're losing touch.

swank started as a customer of watson, if he wouldve just come in and cut off all the other customers that would have been worse than being a hypocrite.

Swank has a history of being a sketchy motherfucker. He was ripping Bam Margera off on those CKY videos for a long time and that's why Margera quit Toy. Fuck that guy.

I dont know about that, Swank wrote a pretty wicked article in Big Brother outlining that basically, Bam is fucking regular.  Swank is a businessman, he took a risk on CKY and it paid off, its good business, not ripping off bam.

I wouldn't say he's sketchy, just losing touch. Being from the Philly area, I've had conversations with Tod concerning Bam and Duffel. If he was sketchy, he would've told me to fuck off and not bothered with making some warehouse guy feel better about his business choices. BTW, Bam still skates better than you regardless of what anyone thinks about his image. And, he made his friends rich, too.

Guess the Iasc doesn't do background checks.

[cheapthrillsof87]

bam was a dumbass putting cky 1 out as a landspeed video. of course he wouldnt make money off it, he was just a teamrider.

Love this thread. 

I have it on good authority that T. Swank reads the "aworld without ceos" thread on the Thrasher boards regularly. 

To that end, I have issued to him an offer to explain the Watson document and the Tum Yeto initiative against blanks.

Anyone interested can check for his response periodically here.

I'll be amazed if he writes back.

And . . . for any of you punks who want to defend him, it is obvious that you have no idea what a slap in the face this whole blank deal is.

A little off topic, but relevant ...

Anyone know how long ago Watson's was sold and who the owner on paper is ?

Do they mill their own veneers or purchase pre-cut ?
