Not long ago Real took a bunch of guys off the official team, stopped making their boards (if they did have one) and moved them to the "forever" section on the team page. Here's some other dudes I'd do that to:
Jake Donnelly: Has been milking it for a while now. I was very surprised they took Justin Brock, Davis, Brockel, etc. off the team but kept Jake
Jafin Garvey: Has been am for like 6 years and still hasn't put out a part. Almost no one has heard of him and he's not even that good.
Max Schaaf: I love him but the "forever" section is exactly where he belongs. He's a legacy rider who stopped producing footage a VERY long time ago. I'm actually not even sure he still skates. It's weird that dudes like Peter Ramondetta and Davis Torgerson are considered retired and are off the actual team but Max isn't
Oof thanks for the reminder how absolutely burnt the Real team was and still is. They must be paying Ishod %125 of his board sales plus a salary just to keep him on and maintain relevancy. How are Krooked and Anti-Hero such great brands and Real such a steaming pile of dog shit?
That's a weird way to put it, considering how much stuff the current Real team has put out in the past year in addition to Ishod.
Nicole had another full part like yesterday, Mason just had the Take A Lap part on top of million other parts, Tanner/Gage/Praman had the Three Seasons vid couple month ago and the accompanying tour vid, Harry Lintell and Jimmy turned pro and put out parts, Zion, Jack Olsen, Chima,Herman Stene all show up all the time... Even Buzenitz had that 3rd and Army vid etc.
Real supports their riders, current and past, which is always respectable and how it should be done.
