poor Svitak :'(

damn that fucking sucks. guess I'll be trading my favorite guy to watch skate curbs for yet another ad of an someone pretending he's surfing. Yawn. Longboards for old men that dont like longboards. From a marketing standpoint, Mike might be standing on a goldmine. A goldmine of kooks.
-
Bittersweet. Seeing this makes me realize how much I love watching Jason Adams skate, but on the downside, I don't see Elephant putting a video out anytime soon.
-
I thought this was a joke at first, bummer.
-
I feel like this is some kind of cruel joke.
-
hope it works out for the kid he deserves to get paid
-
damn shame.

damn shame

Kinda hard getting psyched on this, huh...
End of an Era for 1031 - this photo is only from 2/2/2012:

Kinda makes it cool to pick up one of these now since Adams and 1031 are defunct:

Sad prediction for Svitak and 1031 in the future: Fritz Mead will leave too since he's getting more popular:

i hope this means more jason adams footage...
-
!@#$ LAME Mike V. already screwed Svitak once (by the sword) now he adds insult to injury. Vallely has a history of bailing on companies hope this move doesn't bite Jason in the ass. Sucks regardless hoping 1031 can weather the storm
-
whatever, he's got two kids to take care of and i'm sure 1031 wasn't paying enough to support his family. always down for the kid.

^hahah
he should still be on enjoi black label. damn.

you guys make it sound like 1031 can't survive without him. they seemed to be doing fine before he came along.

its not just jason its the fact that they have been losing all of their riders. raybourn, donavan rice, greg fountain, bk, chad knight (retired), and greg harbour have all left 1031 within the past year/year and a half. so bummed, they used to be my favorite
-
At least they make decent boards they sell like fucking hot cakes where i live i totally back and support the shit Kristian does prolly one of the few decent companies who still make boards in the USA

off topic - that ryan reyes picture is sick as fuck
-
i'm not mad at this, and i like that pic of jason. you gotta understand, i'm in my mid 30's and grew up in ny. for a period of my very young life mike was that shit. i still like watching him, but not hearing him.

I'm with you on that. Mike is a cornball and lots of his branding follows suit but I can't hate on the cruiser-curb-fun-vibe thing. Slap drools over zip zingers but hates on Mike V's boards.... Same shit, its all image you retards.

I love Minor Threat as much as the next guy, but I'm not gonna be the 40 year old dude yelling about keeping it punk or whatever. Mike V is pretty much tarnishing his legacy at this point. There's no shame in growing up, it's a bummer, yeah, but there's no shame in it. We aren't 17 forever...He's still a great skateboarder, that Berrics part was awesome, but I dunno, you gotta act your age or something.

Mike V's has the Bruce Springsteen element to him being from NJ - you like his music/skating...but man, when they ramble and politicize things, it can really turn you off.
But I see Mike pulling burly shit like this and can't help but love the guy for it:

Is Jason Adams still on Iron Fist clothing? They sell womens high heel shoes and other clothing at Hot Topic. If he is still on there team iwould love to see an Elephant X Iron Fist collabo.
-
remember when mike was on iron fist? he lasted there for what, a month or two? then affliction called...
-
Mike V skateboarder-yay; Mike V proselytizer-nay. That Jersey Devil board looks sick.
-
what id like to see:
jason adams on enjoi
fritz mead on habitat or $lave
-
too Legit to quit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cdk1gwWH-Cg#)

How come he has to be on a team that champions "alternative" skateboarding. Its frustrating just because he puts his foot on the ground doesn't mean he has to be team mates with Mike V. Enjoi was Adams best decision.
-
maybe the animal reminds him of black label or something.
