« on: February 06, 2018, 02:58:26 PM »

I'm sure it's in the cards for Aidan, but it would be outright wrong to give the next board to anyone other than Max Palmer.

Agreed, although Mackey will sell more than Max, simple as that.

Hopefully both pro at once, so they've got 3 pros. 2 pros is weird.

I thought it was so funny when Hjalte got the guest board from Frog and there was a photo of Hjalte and Max. It was right after the 917 video came out. Hjalte with a board on two companies and Max with none.

Anyway, they all deserve pro boards, fuck it, party on Garth.

would be insulting if you ask me. Max Palmer's skating is lightyears ahead of aidan and was actually pro on Coda prior to 917.

  Backin Aidan Mackey for pro.  Of course there's a million dudes better but that's not his appeal, like he's not gonna be the grarliest skater and some boring dude will always 'deserve' to be pro before him, (that's not a comment on Max Palmer whom I'm not familiar.)

He has last part in the 917 video and it's lovely. Being a pro skater doesn't really indicate skill, more like the ability to move product.

I DMed 917 and said they should repurpose the Green Day Dookie t-shirt image and put Mackey in it instead in the same font and they replied back that they've been thinking about doing that

i think Vincent will be the next to get a board after Aiden and Max get set up

Max Palmer absolutely deserves a board. I think Aidan is worthy of going pro between his skill and what he brings in regards to popularity, but to have him go pro before Max would be a bad look. Max just ended their first full length. How many people have ended a brands full length and still been AM after? I really can't think of a comparable situation. I can think of AM's who ended videos for either their board or shoe company but were immediately turned pro (Jon Dickson in the Deathwish video, Karsten ended Chronicles 3 and was immediately turned pro by Skate Mental, Merlino in WTF, Cole Wilson Oddity, Rory Milanes V Nice, etc).

I back Max on the pro status, I would definitely buy his board. He's a skate rat through and through and I wish this article could be seen by all who don't know him: http://quartersnacks.com/2017/09/a-brief-history-of-the-worst-max-palmer-spots/#more-37868

Personally, I find myself seeking out more and more Max footage but I can't say I've ever searched for Aiden footage. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy it, I just prefer watching someone like Max skate.

I just came here to say this. I really like Max Palmer and I'd back him going pro, but honestly I think Aidan's board would outsell Max's.

That being said, I'd buy an Aidan Mackey board instantly.

In the Isle video "Vase" Tom Knox had first part and was turned pro at the premiere but Chris Jones had last part and wasnt turned pro for another year just after Spirit Quest came out
