i like his skating- would love to be able to slay a mini like he can. to your question tho, my guess is he's completely unmarketable

I have to disagree on this point.  I just saw this for the first time this week.  This was not crappy(except for perhaps the music).

that shared thrasher part between him and Manny was pretty hard to watch since half of his footage was 5-0 to switch crooks variations but this video that he did with Dan Murphy fuckin' kills.

He was the main guy on city , but city went broke , then the main guy on think , but think went under , Got kicked off Adidas since somebody didnt like him , then had VOX and Axion as shoe sponsors which both kind of fell through

Bachinsky is a amazing skater that seems to be hard to market combined with super shit luck in sponsors . He is still producing lots of footage and Im hoping Primitive picks him up . It really is shit that he doesnt have a board sponsor

Primitive

this. he's got next level tricks and doesn't let the personality overshadow the skating. his skating is marketable. im sure he would kill at demos and he's got more than a few solid parts in him

i'd be into it if it weren't all lunch breaks.  just reminds me of some kid at he skatepark you'd fucking hate.

but he's hardly a one trick pony or anything, just tough to get psyched on anyone that is actually into the aesthetic of having that big GRIZZLY logo on his grip. speaks worlds about the dude.

Someone on this forum said before that he was dropped because
he's a redneck who eats cheeseburgers, smokes cigarettes and nothing else

I dunno though cause he could just thrown on a pair of dickies jean, a metallica
t-shirt and then become instantly marketable.

Post by: yungthug on October 05, 2014, 02:54:27 PM
He doesn't have an image that sells.

He's some dude from suburban Massachusets who wears unfashionable jeans, a redneck hat, and just skates. He doesn't make "art" or give "personal" interviews. As much as people like to claim that they don't care about fashion stuff or personality in skating, it makes a huge difference

How many of you guys would buy a Bachinsky pro board over a Gonz, MJ, or Dill?

That's not really a fair comparison because those dude's have been around for 20+ years and are pretty much everyone's favorite skateboarders. 

I think being on City skateboards definitely changed his marketability.  I don't think I've ever seen a City board in person.  And releasing a great part for in an easily-forgettable Oakley video didn't help either.  Or being one of the countless dudes on Adidas for a while.  Think and Vox aren't crazy marketable sponsors either.

He's one of the most talented dudes there is but his styles not so great, doesnt have a marketable image, and trick selection is questionable, especially on mini ramp which is seemingly what most of his footage consists of..just because you're talented enough to do it doesn't mean people want to see it. i'd much rather see someone grind the coping and actually flow and do lines in a mini than a hardflip fs smith stall for 2 seconds revert to flat with no speed

I mean its like having a friend or knowing somebody who is a nice guy and really needs a job . Darkstar aint horrible and he gets a check , boards and travel from it . Its not the right time to argue that he should be on Girl or Chocolate ,

Still hoping Prod will put him on though !

I skated with him right before he went to china, he said he just got on and is working on a part for later next year. Check his instagram, he posts so many photos with his board not showing the graphic because he doesn't really want everyone knowing yet.

i suppose you're right but he still puts out more obnoxiously tech mini ramp footage than i care for..also by kickflipping el toro he may have screwed himself into forever being known as that guy..can't deny he's damn good and well rounded though

Dave's the man.Skated with him and a bunch of Lowell Heads in Boston a few times.Kid rips.Just because someone isn't "marketable" doesn't mean that they aren't killing it on board.I wouldn't be suprised if Dave ends up on a east coast company.As far as the comment that he doesn't do anything.He currently has a project going where he makes picture frames out of recycled boards and the proceeds go directly to the city of Lowell.

That's some serious slight of hand, making slots out of thin air and then filling them.
