Danny Gonzalez is back...
« on: August 16, 2008, 09:22:16 AM »
And skating for... Jart? (Pronounced I guess 'hart') From what I've read they are the biggest company in Europe.
Can someone tell why Danny lost all his sponsors? I thought I read it had something to do with Thrasher mag, but I'm not sure.

And I always dug his skating. His opinion part made me smile so much.  :) His transworld monty footage was sick too. I'm fo sho happy for the guy. woo!
Keep the ego's, gimmie pancakes.

What happened?

he tried to hit on phelps, danny naturally thought he was a homosexual and proceded to make eyes with him even gesturing for a blowjob or tornado gobbie of sorts, phelps was not impressed at all, because at the time he was going steady with cards.

the whole thrasher/dlx thing is kinda dumb
i love both companies but i also respect danny gonzales.. plus hes from texas so thats even radder
i mean come on.. did anyone else watch his upside down wallride like 20times the first time they saw it?

oh and for jart being the biggest company in europe HA!

from what ive heard people over there talk shit on it and the only reason they buy the boards is because they cost the same as a blank..
gotta love a company that uses santa cruz's molds from years ago
oh and used to be a DOOR company....

Blueprint and heroin are very UK centered companies and cliché they don't really sell that many boards (at least here en barcelona). jart is big in terms of sales, no to say that they also made the boards for many others european brands.

Thrasher used his image for the sillhouette in the logo for the skate and destroy game. He tried to sue them, so they destroyed him. Oh, and he lost the lawsuit too.

something about saying he was the new GONZ, and chris pastras hating him and telling him he'd do everything in his power for him not to get another board sponsor after he left stereo.

who was it then, Mic-E? Phelps?


either way the dude has a lot of talent, unless this guy is REALLY lame(and he dosen't come off that way from what i've seen, but if anyone knows otherwise feel free to correct me) then the sf companies should be kinda embarrassed about this.

don't know. agreed, dude has a lot of talent. you don't do the shit he did without it but when it comes to being a pro skater, some folks can jump through the hoops, others can't/don't want to.

He quit Deluxe....Mic-E Reyes beat the fucking shit out of him and Deluxe/Thrasher tried to blacklist him.

Then there's a whole shitload of stories after that no one really knows about.

Apparently Jart has a lot of money behind it.

You must be new to the Skateboard game.  This is real industry talk.  "It's all about who you know".  And that's real.

I will say it again, Jart will never sell in the US because it rhymes with:

1. FART

2. VART

3. K-MART

4. DART

5. CART

Jart have their own wood and produce their boards in the basque country. Also there are a lot of other european brands that buy their boards from them (Antiz, Nomad...).

Here in Spain they do pretty well because they're in every shop at nice prices (team models and pro models) so They're the basic choice of all the kids starting. They promote contests and have a good coverage on euro mags.
