Roberts, Belton, Broussard, Bobier, Montoya etc. I just don't see who'd pick 'em up.

EDIT: not a diss, I just can't see anyone picking them up, that's why I asked what the full roster was.

i think circa is like the new adio anyways.
with that being said, i could see torres going to that new combat division and maybe dompierre going to the regular division.
its already been said, most of the guys on adio were pretty whatevs to begin with.
perhaps beloe will pick up some of the trash left behind.

I'm sure most of them will get picked up by someone (they all are good skaters), but no ones going to throw them the $$$ like Adio probably did.

Most will probably end up on one of the big corporate publicly traded companies: Globe, Nike, Vans, DC, Adidas, Element...Kenny seems to have the best chance of dictating who he's gonna skate for.

Would it surprise anyone if Bobier went to Fallen immediately?

I'm pretty sure they have stacks and stacks of money piled up. Since 2001, there worst financial year has probably been better than a company like Emerica or eS's best year.

What a shame for jason leaving transworld to do the adio video and then everything gets shut down.  Hopefully transworld will take him back since they went completely down hill since he left.  Im sure he wont have a hard time finding work considering he IS the best skateboard filmer on the scene.

Hernandez is dope but I don't know if I'd say he is the best skate filmer on the scene. Fred Mortagne, Matt Winterberg, Mike Gilbert, Ty Evans, Greg Hunt.. It's arguable that any of these names mentioned could be considered the best on the scene.

adio did not meet the numbers giving to them by big brother for quarter one - Q1.  the numbers werent met and they came in and laid off 20 people on monday, the 31st. the last day of quarter one - Q1.  they now have a smaller staff and new -revised- numbers to meet for Q2.

That would give a great bosst in Es's stock in my books if Kenny went to Es. I don't think Lakai really needs a rider like him on the team since they're full of such powerhouses. Es has been slipping for quite some time and I think they could get some really serious hitters if they do it right.

Can't believe at one time, all of the following (probably missing a couple) were on Es. It makes the current Lakai team seem kind of simple:

Koston, Penny, P-Rod, Mike-T, PJ Ladd, McCrank, Bob (Vov or whatever you guys call him), TX, Arto, Creager. Even Dixon was on for like a hot minute......

its really hard for me to imagine kenny on eS i don't think he'd fit in . if adio does go out of business i think he'd get on lakai or something. i pray that kenny doesnt go for those gay new brands like gravis, dekineor beloe

they arent going out of business, they just might lose some riders since the big shakedown a few weeks ago.  .... the big names they have are being offered spots elsewhere However - the adio team is a tight knit group and look out for each other so i kind of have a feeling they are going to try and stick it out till the video comes out And/Or shit goes really sour. Wonder what they will do when Target is selling the shoes.

If anyone read the Nick Dompierre interview on the berrics, he pretty much confirms that adio's done. He also says he doesnt know where he's going to go.

dompierre on vox seems like it would happen, although vans would be sicker
