Joe castrucci is making some kind of comment about the palace logo on his insta stories

[close]

It seems like he's trying to imply they stole their logo, which is sort of funny considering Habitat stole their name from a skate shop.

Habitat Education Industries, Inc. Designed in 1972.

Anyone else out there wondering if maybe the reason Habitat has been living in a world of dekline for 10 years is because they've been pushing lil baby gap professor twinkle toes with the magic feet as their poster boy for this exact same amount of time?? If you're most promoted pro is as lame and unenjoyable to watch as Mark then no amount of nollie 170s to slop crook revert combos on curb high ledges will save your dying board brand no matter how many smoky the bear x Nasa colabs you print off .. Habitat is doomed until they cut Mark and send him off to whatever mental purgatory Rodney Mullen wakes up in. If you offered me a stack of one hundred 7.5" suciu boards or a pair of Sample Size 9 Palace x POLO Ralph Lauren velvet slippers, I would run with the slippers because in 2 years the slippers will have somehow upped 500% in resale value while the suciu boards will still be worthless to me and to most

palace boards fucking suck, anyone with a brain will tell you that

alien/habitat decks feel good, so....

why is palace so insecure about US skating too?

[Murge]

So palace is like beanie babies. People buy it in hopes to resale in the future to hype beast trendy nerds. But at some point beanie babies stopped being on trend and no one cared and people who bought in hopes to re-sale was caught holding useless shit. Get the money when you can but palace is just skateboarding beanie babies for trendy hype beast nerds.

Isn't suciu to literate for showing his middle finger to someone?

I think Lev is just joking.

[chappers]

You had me in the first bit, that was a sweet use of Dekline. But than you trailed off into incoherent nonsense and everyone here how stupider for it.

maybe one of their variations, like the resin 7 stuff

but the standard palace deck is garbage, probably the worst deck I've ever bought

[Sk.A.T.A.N]

So palace is bad because the boards are bad and Habitat is good because the boards are good.
Glad it is so linear nowadays. Lol

[pile]

i find it hilarious. palace always entertains.

you'd think that mark might have read a book or two in his day in which the protagonist must gain a sense of humor in order to get through life.

pick this one up next time you're at the library mark!

[Patbahama]

Damn palace is whack as hell, im all for them fucking with habitat but there acting like habitat is lame for making a longboard when there colabing with Ralph Lauren. kook companies have gotten by ignoring the fact they are selling out to hypebeasts but calling out a real skateboard company is lame. Palace had to limit comments on insta cause of so many people defending habitat. Happy to be on the palace block list though.

[TMKF]

hmmm...well they aren’t wrong.

[Patbahama]

Idk I feel like at this point every hypebeast company (palace)  is doing lamer shit then that and being praised for it. Would rather see habitat making a longboard to pay the bills then palace making 200 bucks a man purse

[Patbahama]

This is kinda funny now too

Mark, it's just some bantz. Like the type you have with the lads at cheecky nandos.

[RoaryMcTwang]

I try picturing Mark showing anyone the middle finger, but it doesn’t work.

[CurbyPuckit]

^Have you considered paying attention to contemporary skateboarding? They released a great full-length last year (for free, mind you), they've pumped money into the Long Live Southbank campaign, they opened up an indoor skatepark to support the London scene over the past winter, they've milked their status in the fashion industry with great tongue-in-cheek ads, and they make sure rad skaters like Danny Brady, Jamal Smith, and Lucien Clarke (among others) get paid.

But no, how dare they say what everyone is thinking about Habitat.

Speak for yourself...bruv

Even Weck is posting about this in his story's.
Lev hook up Chico or get the fuck.

Palace is trying way too hard to be edgy here when in reality it's a brand based around adlay cosplayers

[radcunt]

Suciu I won’t do what you tell me

Of course he is joking. He writes captions from his living room sofa while waiting for his uber eats delivery to arrive. There is no malice in anything he says. It's a joke, that some people take very seriously. He's also saying what people have been thinking for years. I don't think there is a industry that spends more time shit talking on their peers more so than skateboarding. What Lev says, has been said in countless teams group chats for years.

maybe quick spoons

Calling out companies might be whack, but who really cares about Habitat these days anyway?

I just think out of all the brands to be coming at they could pick a better target than habitat.
Habitat has contributed more to actual skateboarding than palace which to me is just a slight step above supreme.

And I was fully on board with getting a Jamal deck too.

I mean they have been around longer, so yeah by default. But what has Habitat "done" for skateboarding in the last 10 years? They open up a free skatepark in Ohio for the winter? Did they pump thousands of dollars into the Save Love Park campaign?

Maybe they didn’t, but a generation of skateboarders will remember mosaic. I don’t think anyone I know or maybe people here can even name a palace video. Do they make videos? No idea.

I don’t follow weck but saw his story and I have to say it was pretty good

Sick. A bunch of 30 to 40 year old's are currently remembering Mosaic. Good job Habitat on a successful 2019.


and nah Palace have never made a skate video.

I just think in 50 years, people are remembering habitat as a skateboard brand. Palace not so much. Clearly you fuck with it they are very successful but for me personally it’s not my jam.
