How much tension do you think there is between Kelly & Justin around Justin having been a legit pro for 2 of his favourite companies, while Kelly turned pro for a company after they had already kicked him off once, and then putting him back on after kicking everybody else off, and getting 1 pro board, and never getting on a shoe company proper?

The tension between those two is palpable and I've noticed it happening more frequently lately. It was blatantly obvious during the clipper ledge discussion. I'm waiting for the day when that shit boils over and they get into a heated argument. I can already see Justin being like "Ok, I'm done" and walking out of the apartment mid episode.

I dunno you kinda take an L if you let kelly piss you off on camera

If I had to guess I’d say maybe Justin really wanting his shoe reissued and Kelly playing the “sorry I don’t have control over that” even though he does. But they’re also both idiots.

[close]

yeah, I guess probably that or Justin just wanting to get back on the team as a legacy pro. He's got no shoe sponsor right now

I got word from someone at my local who's also the sole tech rep that a couple of legacy pros are coming back full on the team with reissues and none of them are justin...

While he's definitely not their most iconic former pro, this seems like a missed opportunity considering his current popularity due to the nine club. Might not sound like the biggest boost but a shocking amount of kids have him and Chris's boards

True. I remember seeing an episode where Roberts was trying to get him to the beach to skate curbs or whatever, and he didn’t seem interested. Mike Mo also me not really skating anymore. It sucks when pros get injured and realize they’ll never be able to skate at their former level and kinda give up. Skateboarding can be whatever you want it to be.

For the sake of discussion I will say, specifically for mike mo, he has said it’s depressing to try and skate since his injury. Which I can completely understand. When something doesn’t bring you joy anymore it’s hard to keep at it. I get wanting to see clips from him if you were a fan of his skating but it’s lowkey selfish.

Kelly only cares about skaters who were in Menikmati. That’s why they still post about Eric Koston.

Mike mo also said a lot of time and money was spent in trying to get him back to normal but that drop foot hes got has no current medical solutions

I think when you have a chronic injury it’s a whole different ballgame……

Mike Mo made the analogy of it's like being a pro golfer who could drive the ball 300+ yards and getting injured and barely being able to hit the ball off the tee. He was also pretty tech, so I could see how now that he can't do the stuff he used to do he's not as hyped on skating anymore.

Part of it is Justin has publicly dissed ES pretty hard for scraping the whole program on this show, I know if I had control over it I wouldn't be doing him ay favors by getting him another paycheck.

I hadn’t watched the show in a bit so I can’t say for sure over the general course of the show recently, but I did watch the clipper discussion and noticed the same thing. I don’t know about recently, but I remember Rog used to kind of get into with Eldridge too. And I really can’t blame them, seeing as Eldridge seems like that guy in the friend group who is so dumb he thinks he’s smarter than everybody else.

I’d personally be surprised if Eldridge and Kelly have 100 IQ points between the two of them, but in watching the show over the years, I have realized Eldridge is just next level stupid. Feels like there is a laundry list of idiotic takes from that guy over the years. My favorite being that it’s okay for companies to not pay their filmers because they should “do it for the passion.”

That is what would bug me the most if I was Mike Mo. That his career was cut short from an accident he caused. He mentioned on some episode that he never knew what it felt like to have your skills decline gradually. For him, it was just a fast complete 180.

Cardiel has had like 3 photos in the 20 or so years since he got hurt (understandably).  Mike Mo’s injury is just as debilitating as far as skating goes.  He’s lucky he can even walk.  It’s not making excuses, he literally can’t skate anymore. 

I totally understand just wanting to disconnect from skating completely after skating at such a high level.  It’s gotta be like getting dumped by a girl you love and still having to see her everyday.  Some people just need to move on.

Regardless of the circumstances that lead to his injury, I still feel for him. I dealt with some lower back issues in my mid 20's and couldn't skate for close to 5 years. It was rough on me mentally. Having that never ending itch to skate and just not being able to. This is why I've come to cherish every skate session I have now. You just never know if that rug is going to be pulled out from under you.
