Pretty sure it had something to do with Jereme Rogers. This list is terrible though, 3 joes and 4 battle from Abericca kids, didn't that contest get won by some kid just doing weird pressure flips. I wish they actually showed the voting results and not had us believe them on faith, I feel there's no way Daewon wasn't voted in.

Is this the beginning of major shoe companies realizing that skateboarding won't be the cash cow that they thought it would?

Skateboarders are fickle. We want something that looks good, skates good and has the proper people backing the program. That's why Nike worked so well and why Adidas has had such an impact. They both got your favorite pros favorite skaters on their teams by giving them shitloads of $$. It's actually quite simple.

I'm sure they compensated their team well and those that were getting paid by PUMA are able to afford nice things for their families, which is great. Is it NIKE or Adidas money? Not even close.

I think PUMA never really understood skateboarding and accepted that they had to pay the extra $$ to get the right dudes on their program. It's money that they don't have in their "action sports program" budget.

That's what this all comes down to, the almighty dollar.

I understand the sentiment but didn't this dude spend a fair amount of time on both DVS and e'S? Probably not a good example to use.

I thought this too. It's definitely how it seemed versus an attempt to actually enter skating.

You can skate in regular shoes such as pumas, I had a pair of shoes from target that had a longer life than a skateshoe

im not just pointing him out thats why i put everyone.  I seen a few dudes do this on insta recently.  They praise the big then come back on some praise the skate owned brands.  I know jimmy as on DVS before they axed him and es was just a flow some shoes kind of thing.
