Skaters who had only one pro model for a company
« on: May 06, 2024, 08:48:13 PM »
Who are some skaters who have had only pro model for a company before bouncing or the company going bust ?



I remember seeing this, and the very next issue of transworld he was on Habitat with a pro board

i believe mikey taylor and prod turned pro for city stars, and only had one board

BA and austyn were the only two pros, and they had a few boards each. Tom k turned pro for skate mental and never for 3d im pretty sure. maybe alex had some boards that were made but never made it to production..?

Koston for WKND

That was clearly a guest appearance, plus he had 3 different boards on wknd


oh Greg luzka i'm pretty sure only had one board for krooked

such is the case with krooked guest boards. pretty sure he quit before they gave him a real pro board but it was in the works already so it turned into this guest model.

Dashawn Jordan for Toy Machine I believe.

Felt like they signed him on, got him a pro board, then he dipped to April. Which honestly, he fits there more than he ever did Toy Machine.

Alysha le, Alana smith, Samaria Brevard for hoopla

Amy Caron for popwar

Bobby puleo for landscape (altho I think the story is he decided he didn't want to ride for
landscape at the last minute so they just released his board as a guest board)

Jan kliewer for polar or maybe that was he just had one ad and no board.

Different camps but both companies had the same vibe, the graphics looked very alike, both very cool.

You can say Element tried to do the same but failed to achieve such class.

Pretty sure he only had that fire guy one. He bounced from Birdhouse really fast.

Feel like he was only on for 6 months, but he was on long enough to have 6 boards according to google




Amy Caron for popwar
 

was she on-on..? there's a website that lists popwar as a sponsor back in 03' but I never saw her in any popwar ads, and she wasn't in either video from memory...from what information it was a board in collaboration with the crew Villa Villa Cola and amy happened to be apart of that and getting popwar boards. for some reason i thought Raymond molinar was pro for popwar, and got bumped down to am when he quit for Habitat but i cant find any any raymond popwar boards.


Didnt Blind try to turn Yuto pro? dwindle had boards made, and his manager nixed it?

I thought he only had the one from Public Domain era

True. I always like seeing his footage, thanks for the reminder to go watch some.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Muska skated his entire Feedback part on one pro model. He started skating that Hosoi Rising Sun one-off in his Guilty era, but mostly did his entire career on the red silhouette board.

Maybe Antonio Durao's first pro model on Numbers. Or Mike Rusyck's Foundation first pro model?

Speaking of Dashawn, he could've only had that one pro model on Business and Company. The sock puppet graphic I believe.

Word.

Wish he would've had more.

He didn't really fit Girl at all when he got on, but skateboarding was changing.
