Just noticed watching the last KOTR episode Rickk and Mike rolling up in a fresh Audi A7. Dudes are doing well. Here in Europe you'll see high level bankers, well paid sportsmen and crooks riding those.

So what? Driving a nice car doesnt mean you're rich. We like to think so, but any moron with different priorities and bad financial judgement can take on a car payment.

lease....500$ a month bro. It doesn't take a rich man to drive nice cars. good credit and 500-1000$ a month gets you just about any car under 100,000$

Carroll has said in a couple interviews that he only leases his cars so he'll always have a new one.

Add some other luxury purchases, and then they are more busy about their own purchases than running the company. Of course I don't know the full situation, but I don't think crailtap is doing very well now.

In the 90s Lockwood era of Los Angeles both Mike and Rick would pull up in an Audi.

it would be sick if whoever at vice was editing the show didn't know about the MJ debacle and there's some footage of them meeting up and having a good time (i.e. MJ lands skateboard trick and carroll hugs him)

Could be a company car and sticking it just a little more to their riders by financing the lease with their board/shoe/bearing/hello kitty collab money

Nah, those guys can afford an A7. It's not really that expensive for what they do. I mean Crailtap pulled in a lot of money, they were on top for a long time. I'm sure their bank accounts reflect that. I don't know where Rickk resides but Mike lives in a pretty expensive West Hollywood/Fairfax neighborhood where you can't find a house for under 1.5 million.

Have you seen the cars parked outside Biebel's warehouse, shouldn't be too odd a company owner can afford a decent car

I think it's safe to say Mike and Rick are financially set for life.

the way the skater-owned companies owners bitch about everything you'd think they're anything but set for life. remember getz and his car obsession ... a good car on a lease only means that you are doing good now, the future is unknown

These guys have owned a very successful board company, a clothing line, and a shoe brand, they should be able to afford an A7. I remember seeing a profile written about Corey Kennedy when he just turned pro by some local newspaper saying he was making a 100 g's a year, and this was prior to Pretty Sweet. If a guy they just turned pro is making 100 g's a year, then these guys should be able to afford an A7. I'm sure the deals guys like Marc, Guy and Biebel were on just weren't sustainable anymore/ I'm sure these guys are downsizing expenses in there own lives but I doubt at this point in there lives they were willing to take out another mortgage, to pump needed money in to Crailtap when they could sell off shares to investors. 

Here's the article.

I'm sure 80% of that salary of his was because of Nike not Crailtap.

During that era I picture Mike still up in SF and everybody who went to lockwood pulling up in a Civic, because for some reason that was the cool guy car at the time.

Oh, I know that, but if that what shoe companies are paying Am's, you gotta think Carroll and Rickk who sold arguably the most popular brands for years, and Lakai was quite successful for awhile that they can still afford a luxury like an A7.
