I have no idea who gave him a pro board but I feel it’s deserved. Dude could be sitting on the beach with fat booty bitches all day but instead he chooses to skate.

Honestly if I skated more than like five decks a year I would probably buy one
-
yall should be more supportive of wayne, he struggles with mental health issues. this is very good for him
-
I'm buying two. He needs my financial support and thank you is the best brand.
Also, whoever posts right after me, I'm turning you pro as well

it's not about financial support, and acting like skateboarding is a huge money making machine is a false narrative

RXPhilly did this in collab with Torey. He had the boards made through Thank You. Said it’s just a friends and family exclusive. Kinda like an appreciation to Wayne. So it’s not like Thank You is trying to cash in on selling a Wayne bloard. Thank You didn’t even post or share this on their IG.

Could see him on King. Trade him in for Nakel.

Wayne is truly one of the greatest.

should have been on disorder

i could see him on Krooked

We’re all pro now.

This feels like the time David Arquette won the WCW title. Happy for him, why is this happening, and wtf is going on all at once.
-
in unrelated news everyone in the city is pretending lil Wayne is Batman just for today- if you run into him please play along

There has never been a time where there weren’t some questionable “pros”, but with this kinda stuff, I get your point .

I feel like a read an old Salba interview where he said he was the only professional skateboarder who couldn't street ollie. The interview was from 1989 so maybe he's learned since then

I love Waynes hair. He's definitely like top 5 hair cuts in the history of human hairs.
I have no idea why he threw shade at blm tho. I think he has issues with putting himself in other people's shoes. A cop has driven me to the hospital once too. Doesn't mean shit.
Guilty by association. IDC if the pig tossed my salad and frickin gave me a golden frickin ticket. I know those bastards are out killing and shit.
Sorry to rain on the parade here but the 27th is almost here. A C.I. killed my brother and told the cops I gave him the drugs. Then spend a lot of time trying to frame me up again.
Clearly they didn't think that one through at all. I had all my shit in line af. All those cops got busted for human trafficking like a decade later. Only the chief took the hit.
The cops love that bitch tho.
Why Wayne why?
Rip baby bro. I miss you so badly. FML

Zoltac put out a Metallica board in the eighties and so far as I remember none of them had any skate skills. Sometimes it’s just cool to recognize musicians that are down to skate and contribute to our personal soundtrack.
And probably TPuds wanted to meet Wayne and it’s been obvious for a whole that Wayne wants to be around pros.

I don't know if they possessed any skills at all other than pushing around but they definitely had an appreciation for skating back in the day.

Apparently once you’ve simply “been doing this shit for 10 years” someone turns you pro. Still waiting for my surprise board presentation.

I read somewhere that James was better than Kirk. James skated pools aswell. Broke his wrist twice and gave up skateboarding so they coud play and tour.

VCJ just released another Metallica collab. I wish he would have stuck with the 80’s style and not colored in the eyes.

being pro and being a good skater are not really related anymore, why are people tripping?

Skull Skates made a Red hot chili peppers board.

Some brand made a beherit board, maybe also skull skates

At first I thought wtf. Then realised you're turning every other tom, dick and harry pro for every single one of the million companies out there. The question should really be "who isn't pro nowadays.? "

Okay, alright. YOU’re pro, I’m pro, WE’re ALL pro now; I concede your point.
But you’re skipping right over a crucial piece of this equation.
We’re not just talking “professional” here, we’re talking Pro AF!
Break out your slide-rule once more & solve for X, this time factoring in ALL of the relevant data.

I don't like his music and he can't skate for shit but I ain't mad at it. He seems to love skating. Aleast he's better than Beatrice Domond, a pro skater on one of the top companies out there.

He’d really love this thread then, everyone mad at a gesture to a friend. We all know it’s an appreciation thing, not because they truly think he’s a pro.
I am surprised DGK didn’t do this before since Stevie and him are cool

Pretty sure FA have made boards for Cat Powers.
Stoked she got the bump up to pro
-
Disgusting just like Torey Pudwill and his brand. Wack all around, it would actually be rad if Wayne turned it down, but his ego is farrrrrr too big.
-
God, a lot of you really be acting like you can’t just you can’t call up any wood shop and print literally anything you want on a board. Like it’s some fucking crime

Y’all so corny hating on this man. Guys an absolute legend and genuinely loves skating.
That’s Tory’s favourite rapper he’s probably so hyped to put him on
-
People are forgetting the who drew that Zoltan Metalia board.
brian pushead schroeder.
We're talking about a legend in skating a legend in Ponk.
I can see why Wayne got a boat. That guy grew skating and definitely deserves it.
If skating was about being good then I would have been on by the time I was 12. It's about being ala mode. Wayne is popular still rn. Probably not going to last so now is the time.
The industry is about growing the art. Who ever gets it done gets a board.
Fun fact. I'm a DJ. A bad one but the best mix I've ever made was a mash up.
Lil Wayne a mili. One of the greatest hip hop tracks of all time. Plus the intro to Helmet's Unsung.
Try it if you know how to beat match.
A mili a mili mili part plus the guitar build up. So good
If I lived near Wayne I would be bugging him constantly to sing for my band. With a catch tho. He must wear the anonymous mincer ski mask.
There's no fame allowed here. Has to be pure soul and no hangers on. We're talking about genre redefining art not pop mining bullshit with fake fans following us because we got the famous singer.
-
That voice needs to be involved in crust Ponk / industrial/ power violence...
I guarantee that it would be the most slamming shit since Charles Fucking Bronson youth attack hardcore 97

He's been snowboarding in the park with Drake since like 2010 too. Gotta respect the consistency and dedication to do the sport for so long.

https://youtu.be/hpmbgUfDgVg
I can’t believe they wasted this absolute hammer of a song on the am section
I’m pretty sure he still has a Prince-level drug regimen and he’s bare minimum smoking a half oz a day which makes his clips even more impressive
Edit: there are so many insane classic prime Wayne lines in this song I can’t even type them all out, No Other was always my favorite Wayne verse but this was probably the best song he ever made
Second edit: was furby wearing under armor socks at 1:32

Gay. Duh. As long as the first deck is in FA style and of his avatar.

@OG Goon, I get the whole 'pro definition is watered down' thing. But I would say don't take everything at face value. You're in the know so it's only really watered down if u reject the nuance... There's pro. Then there's "pro"; but those apostrophes are implied, so they're silent/invisible, so it's up to us to decipher.
Similarly, to the avg person, a Ben 10 setup from Walmart is a real skateboard. It's a wooden toy, it's physically tangible, and rolls on 4 wheels it is as real as can be. Little Timmy and his parents will not know it's "fake" until he works up the courage to approach Sid and the other sk8rats at the end of the culdesac, where they will eventually deliver the heartbreaking news... Ok, maybe that's a lil too anecdotal but basically;
Real recognize real. Etc, etc.
Lil Wayne is a legend, he actually skates, and the class photo has been his signature for a while. This kind of makes to put him on some boards. If someone tries out skateboarding because they got a Lil Wayne board at least it's gonna b a quality product and not some basura from the toy store.
Promotional Skateboard AF
Not Professional Skateboarder AF
Exactly!
I heard "Lil Wayne is now a pro sk8r" from some headline at of another article. One of those footer sections that sell ad space, n it's a mix of links to legit articles and links to spam/snake oil bs, so did my own search to verify [and to increase the site bounce rate + they don't get a conversion from my click, cuz these non-QC ass footers are annoying af]. Anyway I saw the headline on several news outlets... so great biz move on Thank You's part.
Is Lil Kim also Pro AF bc Supreme put her name n face on some boards? Or Pillsbury doughboi ?
Lil Wayne/Thank U thing is conceptually more of a collab, but how watered down is that word at this point?
Or maybe this is more like a guest pro model? Those seem to b more random n less based on the traditional standards of what it takes to get a pro model.
Idk let's keep an eye on that team page (https://thankyouskateco.com/pages/team) tho!

You know being pro is just a marketing gimmick right? There’s no more weight to it than cutting someone in on board sales who has enough pull to sell boards.

Nice gesture and all but did they have to 100% blatantly rip off the whole FA youth photo thing?

To be fair Lil Wayne kind of popularized that with his Carter 3 album. Not saying he was first to do it but that was one of his most successful albums and memorable covers. So I think it’s more a nod to that than ripping of FA.
