DAEWON RESIGNS WITH DVS

[Officer Stinkah]

his new shoe ain't bad, i guess 13th time's the charm?

[RaptorKillah]

When DVS fails again I could see him on Adidas

[Particleboard Penguin]

I don't think it matters honestly, would he be able to pick up another sponsor? I mean sure you would think "it's fucking Daewon!" but its a different world now. DVS has always sucked, they've never had good shoes despite have a good team in the past. I just wish Daewon would quit skating shit that noone can relate to and just take his skill and do really clean basic shit, instead of ridiculous circus tricks on trees and rocks.

I think you're missing the entire point of Daewon

[mooraga]

DA FUCK ITS SEQUENTIAL BRAND GROUP?

impressed torey still on dvs, or not?

[marshalbanana]

The captains gotta go with the ship.

DVS is a good company that put out a really good skate video of some of the best dudes in skateboarding. Supporting a lot of great skaters that then went on and were offered bigger paychecks.  Kind of like eS.  Maybe if it goes under they might have some good stuff on ebay too.  NIKE SB 4 LIFE

[Liam Baker]

Daewon fits on DVS, but if he signed to Lakai, they'd pretty much be on the same level as Nike when it comes to amazing teams. Dude kills, he could probably go anywhere.

Dear Jerry Reed,
This post is fucking stupid. 
Tell Fred I said 'hey'.

[Bubblegum Tate]

It would be strange for DVS to continue without him. Isn't the name of the company his full initials? Maybe someone mentioned this but I am too lazy to read the whole thread.

I think it stands for DeViouS

Yeah Gavin always says that the letters have no meaning at all which makes me think for sure it stands for devious and he's too embarrassed these days to say that...

It's ok... you probably weren't even alive in 1996.

[noileum]

dude shows some loyalty and then gets dissed

odd that people also diss those that jump ship to the swoosh as well

can't win in this fucking place.

props to Daewon, loyalty still means something to the OG's.  Who the fuck cares what trucks you ride when they're as loose as he has them :-)

[Beeda Weeda]

i thought DVS went under.

[natenola forever]

Matix is Dae Wons company through poduim, so if he didn't re-sign i'm sure he'd also lose Matix. A lot of times when companies start to go down like this they'll offer a guy like Daewon a partnership deal, which he probbaly has very little to lose on cuz if the company tanks he'll end up Globe
just a few months further down the line.
Everyone loves this dude but i doubt he has a lot of choices, most shoe brands aren't doing that well so they are probably focusing keeping the riders they have happy and i just don't see Nike which seems to have a ton of money wanting someone like Daewon

[KoRnholio8]

And then in another thread you'll all going to bitch about someone not being loyal ...

I've skated numerous great DVS shoes, it's not their fault you inbred red-necks can't resist picking a boot witch laces when given the choice.

You are probably all right. I remember hearing that it stood for Daewon Vo Song, but then again I probably shouldn't believe information I picked up when I was 12.

There is a lot of hate in this thread, not just one post. Dude doesn't jump shit at every opportunity, that just being a good friend - I'm pretty sure he gets paid good money, while still being a genuine skate rat. There's not a lot of PROs who can claim that.

[Donkey Lips]

I'm glad he doesn't jump shit too.

Westlife bought Matix from Sequential Brands, so DVS and Matix aren't tied together any more from what I understand.

Yeah I was always under the impression DVS is someone's initials. I thought it was donna vanessa song, I swear I read that in like a big brother mag years ago in an interview where he is talking about starting matix, but I could be completely wrong. I know the interview exists, it might be big brother, I'm not sure.

I know it stands for devious.... I don't know why donna vanessa song is stuck in my head, maybe that is his mom's name or another relative. I swear this was in a skate mag, he might even have a tattoo of it, thought someone would know.

word,yeah i remember hearing abt the donna vanessa song thing too so it def sounds familiar,i still have alot of older big brother magazines stashed somewhere,i wonder if it is in one of those interviews w daewon or something.

[Lurkatron]

Him, John Motta, and Louie need a shared part where they just skate weird shit, I'd buy it 3x

[poor alice]

I wish i could go back to the days before this internets where I was happy believing that even though "other opinions are available" with regards to any aspect of skating, ABSOLOUTLEY NOONE hated on Daewon.
I dont see how it's possible to hate his skating,vid parts etc, evertyhing I've seeen him put out has been enjoyable to watch, impressive and often refreshing

[cliff]

Daewon is loyal, DVS is changing somethings for the good!!

Stop trying to hate on this type of shit and be hyped that one of the greatest skaters of all time will still be putting out amazing skateboarding for us all to enjoy because he has a shoe sponsor that will support him.
