Shane O'Neill on DC

[bentmode]

How are they still 100 dollars?

nostalgia purposes.

[bo bice]

droors clothing shoes aren't what they used to be.

do people understand that when moves are made by companies, it takes time for it  to actually happen, and is not immediately going to be on the company website?...

Exactly. There are contracts with obligations. You're not just like "I don't want to be on your team anymore, see ya." Especially with companies like Nike and DC. These shits don't happen overnight.

im gonna disagree. its kinda like when you and your girl breakup, the first thing you do is go to facebook and change your status to single. same thing.

[newincident]

no dude, there are contracts to be fulfilled and if you don't , they either don't pay you or you can get sued.

[Fongstarr.]

Yeah....it's called a breach of contract. It's pretty much stupid if you just start sporting another company when you aren't legally sponsored by them. Plus I doubt Shane wants to have Nike breathing on his neck trying to sue him for going to DC. And why not just wait it out. If this is true, Shane is getting paid by Nike till the end of his contract and then will get a pay increase (hopefully) by DC when he gets on with them.

Skate Mental is way sicker thatn Plan B.

you're really pushing it

I remember the days when companies would find out their riders switched companies from 411 grapevine with SLB lol

You're comparing a facebook status to the intricacies of contracts that have developed in the skate world? Nike and DC will have shit like NBA contracts, not "Shane O'Neill has changed his contract status to DC."

Yeah I know of just flow riders who were on contracts being threatened to be sued for breach of contract for changing sponsors.. so you can imagine with 'bigger name' it would be even gnarlier

i think the dude means board graphics, vibe/aesthetic, how eclectic the team is, etc. based on raw talent alone, of course Plan B is ahead by far, but i sure as fuck would rather be riding a John Motta pro model over a Sheckler or Pudwill one.

[Preck.]

I don't know if this would really mean anything but this is on Nike's wikipedia page.

Did Janoski and Shane have a baby? Or first ever pro model collaboration with two different skaters, but in one shoe

[Fongstarr.]

Maybe it is one of those team colorways. Shane seems to only skate Janoski's.

[few123456789]

Ever since Kalis quit his low-key hate on Shane and is now backing "this kid" I have no doubt that Shane is on DC. 

[ChildoftheGhetto]

astute observation. seriously.

sorry to correct you tate, but that combo has already happened in a dc shoe, don't remember the name though. it was a mckay/way combo with some velcro strap!

[sprayTAN101]

still no confirmation? another SLAP intervention ala Lutzka - Element in the making?

[spare change]

I have no way to prove it but I was informed that Shane did leave for dc and Malto will be on nike in january.

I can't see malto on nike without them loosing some heads - the team is way too stacked.  Someone like dan murphy is gone.

[spare change]

He got on because of stefan and koston.And the tm for etnies is gone that he followed so his contract is up and he was out.
I like how you think Nike couldn't afford someone or there was no room.

[boyan]

Malto's getting paid!

I don't actually care where Shane and Malto end up, I just wanna see quality footy on a regular basis

[spare change]

But it gives us dorks something to complain about when it's raining all day.

[newincident]

If you think about it, Shane and Malto have to thank Dyrdek and street league for this big time moves. Doubt it that without the wins, both companies would've make the moves.

[yeahisaidit]

He was still wearing janoskis yesterday. Unless he's deliberately not wearing DC til some contract starts or ends.
