That’s a letdown. It sounds like he underestimated his influence and name power and 917 requires more work than he anticipated and was kinda over it quick. Although he does have two brands and a “full time skate job” so I could appreciate how overwhelming that must feel at times. But still, hire someone to help out if you need it. [close]I'll preface this by saying I like Alex, don't want it to sound like I'm hating.It's weird how he gets away with putting out a tiny amount of footage since the first 917 video in 2017 because he's so busy with organizing things with the two brands, but then the brands don't produce very much because he's spinning so many plates, including being a pro skater.If I had to guess, the money he still makes off of Bianca Chandon and the money he makes from Nike give those projects top priority (totally reasonable) and 917 was a passion project that he doesn't have much passion for any more.What I really wanted the boys to say to Cyrus was that it's understandable to get disheartened when they're all putting a lot of effort into skating to a really high caliber (especially for a lot of dudes that have other jobs besides skating) and then not seeing the same effort reciprocated on the business end.[close]I have a hard time thinking he gives Nike top priority. His footage output is almost non-existent. He seems over it. I like his skating and enjoy his interviews. But, he seems to get burnt out quite easily compared to other guys in his age bracket. Even when he was near his peak he didn't film for Pretty Sweet until like the last 6 months, after not having a full part between that and Fully Flared. One thing to hate the Ty Evans production and pressure, but when you have his name you had many outlets to put out footage in a more low-key way.

Bennet seems like a critical thinker, which is cool. People remarking on his “pace” of speaking, do you prefer people spaz out when they’re talking? I’d rather listen to someone who calculates what they’re gonna say at least a little bit. Reminds me of when everyone was clowning Will Marshall for being an idiot, but he actually seemed good natured, intelligent and hilarious. Maybe a bit aloof but far from dumb.917 had cool art direction in my opinion, and of course the videos are great, but I’m excited to see what’s next and maybe buy some of their boards at a reduced cost.
i don't want to link to the channel because is promotes athiesm.

But, yeah—I’ve never communicated with him so I can’t say.

Damian Bravo, eh.
I wonder if they'll ask Damian about that one story which, unfortunately, is pretty much the only thing I remember about him. You know the one...

I thought it wasnt just him solo, shouldve stuck with my og thought.
That was a funny ass episode. I felt that second-hand embarrassment for Cephler too with that story of him running up to the van "Always sand from the top never from the bottom son."
