Ave and Dill quit Alien?

[plod]

I don't agree with this every brand started out shit argument that's been floating around here and in the 3D thread. What other good brands started out bad but got better.  Girl? Chocolate? Real? Antihero? Alien? New brands magenta? Poler?palace? All started out good.

This clip just shows what we are dealing with? people give Dill  & Ave too much credit off the board, Dill especially.
The brand will smash it with the shallow cool kid supreme crowd whom have always been present in skateboarding.
Now more than ever. Go watch the new Drehobl footage to remind yourself skateboardings not a complete shit show.

It takes a little bit of time to develop an original voice within skateboarding.
All those brands took a little bit time to really find there way.
Maybe polar less so but Pontus has been developing his aesthetic for a long time through his videos

I'm not convinced using FA is the best name but I'm sure Dill and AVE will do something interesting.

What bums me out about the commercial is that humor is attempted to be derived from the video because of the way the guy looks whom, I would assume, could not help being born that way.

[close]

Then youve totally misinterpreted the commercial. It was trying to be weird not funny. Weird song, long blackout, cut to dude playing organ. Theyre trying to say the brand is all about talented weirdos. If they were trying to make fun of that guy they wouldve just used the original youtube clip with none of this editing. Expect some (poorly done) david lynch type shit from fucking awesome in the near future. Itll probably get better like every other brand that started out.

Implying there is well done David Lynch type shit.  You still don't know shit.

If Scumco came out with the same promo, half of slap would be chafed from the massive circlejerk over it. Stop hating just to hate. fuck.

[close]

are you saying you actually enjoyed that?

[close]

I neither enjoyed it nor hated it, I just took it in. But what it does is give me a little optimism for the future. Give them some time, the right team, and the ability for them to find their niche, and I think the stuff they put out could be sick. I don't understand how someone can just automatically hate something that hasn't even begun yet.
As long as it doesn't end up like corny ass Girl, then I'm psyched.

OH MY GOD!! its a 50 second video of a regular guy playing the piano! They are laughing at us so hard right now

As I review on these comments . . . I constantly see everyone referencing Dill as the sole person behind this venture. Now, back when Blind started, or Real I would completely agree that the few said pros backed and fueled the company themselves. I do not think this is the case anymore. I want to believe it, but I find it so hard to believe that Dill has complete control over this and it's owned by Vans, which in turn is owned by VANITY FAIR. I am so over caring about the day-to-day of this brand. It may be some big ol' marketing guy that doesn't even know what skating is or means to all of us that is illegally taking that piano footage from youtube. I think it is real juvenile for you all to harmonize on "Dill does this" or "Dill did that" Who cares. . . ? go skate. Wait until you the see graphics and shapes and buy like everyone else does. And the whole moral compass you place on these videos is exactly what they want. It is supposed to raise red flags and create buzz. It is doing double work for them while they are trying to get a team together. I could see kids falling for it, but some of you guys are adults falling into this buzzkill marketing ploy, really!? skaterats are supposed to be imaginative, clever, and independent. . . .

I think the new trend from corpo backed companies, will be very few riders. This will decrease overhead and allow them to showcase their riders in all of their respective outlets and increase their market share while decreasing overall costs. Which makes sense since I know some of these corporations are starting to get uneasy because their profit margins are much less than comparable sports such as baseball, football, or regular ol' apparel.

yeah, I'm sure the executives over at Vanity Fair are just cumming their pants to fund a skateboard company called "Fucking Awesome".

VF Corp is not part of Vanity Fair mag dipshit. VF corp is it's own corporation and VF mag is owned by Conde Nast, which is in turn owned by Advance Publications Inc.

I KNOW. Which is why I said I neither liked or disliked it, I just did the same thing I do with every other video I see on the internet every day, I watch it, let out a "meh" in my head, and move on and immediately remove it from my brain. I'm waiting for actual board graphics or a video with actual skating and shit to make a judgement, unlike everyone else on this site.
