"Hey, PJ, Look I know it's like not your thing really, but do you think you could film a couple clips for this? Not a part though wait come back! Where are you going! Hey!"

Love the Fakin Jax beat.

Forgot about his pro model on Es. I remember it being so lack luster. I still think his DC shoe could have done better if it wasn't for the price. Even Wenning's shoe was great but not sure if it sold as much at the time.

I know WHL is a legendary part, but how long can a dude coast by on 1 part.

He also had Really Sorry. Guy went about 10 years off of Mouse, Video Days and friend section clips. Penny lived off legend for awhile, to the extent they reused a bunch of clips for his Menikmati section. I really hope PJ has a comeback part at some point, but it gets more doubtful by the year. The weird thing is, unlike Guy and Penny, he has clips showing up in places. In Guy's extended hiatus, the only guest clips I can think of was his big flip in Yeah Right, and a fakie big flip in Penny's Really Sorry part (Which i would love to hear explained because I've never seen it brought up in interviews).

i don't think those are fair comparisons. penny wasn't milking it, he tried leaving pro skateboarding. guy wasn't himself, he was a crackhead junkie. pj doesn't have any legit excuses.

The question was has anyone lived 10 years off of skateboarding with so little footage, regardless of what the reasons were. PJ is able to stay relevent because he's had small clips over the years (stuff in NB# stuff, real street, dc shoe promo, and Berrics). At least PJ is still has a legendary part, what amazes me more is how Bennie Fairfax still has a career, I don't think he's had a full part and he's been aorund 10 years.

I prefer skaters like PJ that aren't pumping out parts and showing everybody everything they are doing. Its overkill.
Just knowing that he is out skating ledges and manual pads doing fucked up shit is enough for me.

PJ is every bit as useless as Antwuan.

Both were unique and ahead of their time. Both had two(ish) 'legendary parts' before producing fuck all for over a decade. At least 'Twaun' had better excuses for falling off. From what I can tell, PJ won't release a full part because it would confirm what everyone already knows...

That he peaked 10 years ago and lots of relatively unknown guys have caught up with and in many ways surpassed him in terms of technical ability. Why confirm everyone's suspicions with a real part when you can play the enigmatic, mysterious pro who can do mind bending shit, but decides not to.

Bullshit.

Harsh, but probably right. Although the bewildering thing is that in the few clips that have surfaced, as well as in games of skate etc., he's always just good enough to make the mystery tale  seem plausible.

He put out a commercial today: https://vimeo.com/179234851 (https://vimeo.com/179234851)

Great line in there (if it wasn't spliced together). He's definitely still got it, he's just...I don't know what the hell he's doing.

He's put out web parts, not the same energy as the early days I guess, but maybe he's building up to that. I don't think anyone's waiting with bated breath, though. I even got the vibe that he's moving into a different career path with designing shoes, but that's doubtful.

I really liked this footage:

Looks like approximately 14 years and counting.
That being said, that part is still looking fresh to these eyes even today.
Those Boston granite window sill lines... :o I am hard pressed to think of someone more in their element--it's not even that it all looks effortless, it's that he's oozing confidence.

But yeah, a new part would be nice.

My mysterious comment was a joke continuing on another post talking about his mysterious appeal. I understand this is the internet and that's hard to pick up on, but come on. No shit he's not trying to be mysterious. Only thing he's trying to do is stay relevant with the least amount of effort.

That's it. I didn't say he's produced a ton of other shit. I said too many people think he only put out WHL as evidenced by the fact that multiple post in the tread have literally said WHL was the only part he had. By the way, Really Sorry was a major part that doesn't get the respect it deserves.

Everybody was so worried as to whether or not PJ Ladd is a millionaire. This is totally a thread full of "if he doesn't produce video parts, he'd better at least be a millionaire" because really, the most important thing about being a professional skateboarder is having a million dollars in the bank!
Out of curiousity, do you plan to vote Trump because "he's a billionaire!"


What's up with everybody saying Guy and Twuan have excuses? I never knew I could call out sick from work claiming that I was busy doing crack or drinking all day!

That he peaked 10 years ago and lots of relatively unknown guys have caught up with and in many ways surpassed him in terms of technical ability. Why confirm everyone's suspicions with a real part when you can play the enigmatic, mysterious pro who can do mind bending shit, but decides not to.

Bullshit.


I'm pretty damn sure he knows still has it.

This is far too harsh . Now Im not going to make excuses for his lack of footage . I think hes slacking big time    BUT

Dixon has fallen off every company he has been on thanks to slacking off , drugs , drink and being in prison . You cant compare that to PJ Ladd

While he is deff slacking on footage , he is not a drunk or drug addict and he is not beating up people , or threatening them with knives or in prison . And it seems Plan B and NB and the rest of his sponsors seem to think he is doing enough for them to valid them paying him and giving him products , While Dixon was kicked off all of his

PJ Ladd has been dropping small web stuff over the years on places like the berrics over the years aswell as that game of SKATE things

What if PJ came out with information that he is suffering from panic attacks and crippling social phobias  ? isnt that a valid excuse ? What if he is over the spotlight in a tom penny kind of way . Isnt that a valid excuse ?


I dont think most skaters care about who is peaking . Most skaters just want a new part from people . We dont need them to push the boundaries of skateboarding and invent new shit

I just want a new part from Rick Howard . I dont want him to invent new tricks , do handrails or do the leap of faith

Can't believe no one mentioned these "parts." Brick harbor was a massive failure, but at least they made these happen.

I love those brick harbor vids.

I actually like stuff like that better than "parts" that are all overedited & coordinated to some song like a music video. So I'm totally cool with PJ's output over the years. I used to think he was "slacking" etc. but a previous PJ thread turned me on to the fact that he's actually got a fair amount of footage if you poke around youtube.

You don't have to have your face covered with shitty tattoos to have a drug or alcohol problem.

There's help available PJ.

Wow, I can see wanting some more footage of the guy but I had no idea people had such shitty attitudes about PJ.
There's probably a bunch of footage of him wearing DC's and Adidas that we're never going to see.

I always thought it was weird that they made this a separate part for this vid, I mean while the skating is sick, it's still only 40 seconds for fucks sake.

Threads and discussion like these are why they made it a separate part. His skating cannot be fucked with. No one "caught up" with him. Yes, skating has progressed in the last decade but his skating is still so solid, so fucking good, stylish and progressive too.
That last trick could have used another slow mo. Look at how well caught and executed everything in that 40 seconds is. Who else has done a nollie cab bluntslide in a line and made it look that dam casual.

If there was one mystery around the Ladd that I would liked solved, it's what the fuck happened with his Plab B part, though to be fair True seemed like the least coordinated and organised video ever (two of your most prolific riders have no footage in there and all they did was tease PJ's face in the credits. What the hell?)

I saw an insta clip of him doing a fakie inward-heelflip tailslide to fakie flip out the other day, who knows how old it was but I'm still a believer. Anyone around when WHL came out would never doubt the dude, no matter how much time goes by.

I dunno where/when this footage is from, but it's all very sick, set to a good instrumental beat:

And a lot of this is definitely 2014/2015, wearing adidas and NB, worst song though:

PJ changed skateboarding.  He changed it more than anyone else has since.  Everyone into skating when WHL came out was influenced by him and wanted to skate like him to some degree.  He's not just a dude who put out a couple parts.  He's a dude who single handedly rejuvenated skateboarding and shook it out of a huge homogenous, boring funk.  He's the reason an otherwise mediocre shop video with one other good part is the best selling skate video of all time.  That's why he gets a pass, and that's why anyone talking trash about him can eat shit.

Now THAT is overselling him. Not everybody was influenced by him, skateboarding wasn't boring, and WHL isn't the best selling skate video of all time.

Only one good part? Um, did you not watch Southie Casper flipping to feeling called love? I dig cutthroat colin Fiske in his andrew Reynolds phase also.

As a whole i only liked Alexis, Jerome, and PJs parts...PJ definitely represented that East Coast style and his level of tech skating was pre Mike Mo.

Gallant's part was the "one other good part" I'm guessin'.

^^All of this.

I still (want to) believe he will drop a part out of nowhere sometime soon. He has to be sitting on a vault's worth of footage. Changing board sponsors would be good too. My question is, do "kids" today even really know who PJ is? I looked at the Plan B site the other day and I had a hard time even finding a board in their online shop with his name on it.

EDIT: Looked again just now and there isn't a single board in Plan B's online store with PJ's name on it.

There's also like 20 minutes of really good footage from the last few years on the last two pages here, so comparing him to drug addict shit piles who haven't done anything in a decade is fucking idiotic.

The line with the fakie flip over the hip to tiny switch power slide to fakie flip fakie 5-O is still among the best things I've ever seen done on a skateboard.

I agree with the Pro-PJ for sure, but that bench line is spliced together, at least after the nollie cab flip. The colors are darker on the "Tigers" sign and the zoom looks off. Just my 2 cents.

It's spliced to show the different colorways.
