Freedome was so sick.

I can’t believe there weren’t an avalanche of deck sales coming from the numerous full parts Geoff put out for his brand.

From Hawaii to Georgia, all I ever saw people skating were his decks. How can he pull the plug when his brand has been influencing skating so much?

I think he had that guest board come out after those clips on that Vans video. It felt like for a second Pedro was indeed heating up.

I know he had a set up video where he said he was starting a brand.

PS: Rowley was sending boards and I think that Angel Teeth skater/model/musician had something to do with an aristocat looking graphic.

I just interviewed him recently. He has been using profits from his beer brand, LayBack, to build skateparks around Brazil. He's developed a network of AirBnb-style accommodation with things to skate and a bar to unwind at day's end.

LOL

god dam lol

a little game to play on the flip website: under each rider on the team page theres a "watch" button that links to a youtube video, see if you can guess the video before clicking

https://flipskateboards.com/pages/team

on another note, they have basically become a copy of Blind. no cohesion, no full lengths, no tours, entirely distributed team, and i doubt any of their riders could even name the whole roster.its also weird to see the younger riders wear t shirts with an OG sorry logo on it when they werent even born when the video came out. the only thing they had going for them were the legacies of the sorry OGs which are gradually fading into obscurity

Because they are English skateboarding royalty. There's nary a better fit in all of skateboarding. When the Palace team was smaller, it made a bit less sense. Now that the team is so large, it's a crime they're not on. Yes, it would be a sort of veteran's division thing, but in fact both guys are still skating at a ridiculously high level. A couple tricks a year in the occasional edit, it'd be a beautiful fucking thing.

I don’t understand why people think he’s still so deserving of a sponsor. Sorry and all that was great, I grew up on it. But that last part was a snoozer. It’s cool that he still skates hard but I didn’t need to see it. Why is it that in skateboarding some find it necessary to continue to pay someone based on what they did two decades ago?

Damn. Kind of sucks that he put in all that effort for an 8 minute part, had a premiere for it, and just a couple months later his company goes under.

I would say he should go back to Flip, but I kind of remember reading he wasn’t on good terms with Jeremy Fox or something (?).

About fucking time they get Geoff and Tom on Palace.

why would palace do that?  why should palace do that?
[close]

Because they are English skateboarding royalty. There's nary a better fit in all of skateboarding. When the Palace team was smaller, it made a bit less sense. Now that the team is so large, it's a crime they're not on. Yes, it would be a sort of veteran's division thing, but in fact both guys are still skating at a ridiculously high level. A couple tricks a year in the occasional edit, it'd be a beautiful fucking thing.
[close]

in terms of his personal brand, rowley is about the least palace skater in all of existence. them cats are out getting mashed up to jungle, he's out mashing up jungle cats. it's just not gonna work.

anyway they already have a hesh scouser.

I wanna see scally Geoff. I've always thought OC Geoff was just a phase.

From my memory (which isn't perfect) Rowley is standing on a roof and you just see a lion fall out of a tree. Don't remember Rowley shooting it. I think in his thrasher interview from the time he says he used to just go on hunts but didn't kill the lions himself.

Instead of dancing further on the corpse of this failed venture, I’d like to point out that Chris Haslam’s Brain Child is still chugging along and he is still skating and putting out his head scratching footage.

I second the motion.

Do you know what woodshop he's using? I would be very open to the idea of supporting Chris Haslam.

Funny havent seen any footage since years from Haslam  - and then he is in Passau in Schützis warehouse?
A couple of weeks ago some friend send me an WA arm in arm with Haslam "see who I meet skating" so he is around Europe / Bavaria this days...

Speaking about euro woodshops and bavaria in general  we need to mention:

Which is a workshop for the disabled, and one of the munich locals who is leading the wood workshop build up the skateboard unit. super good quality, supporting inclusion for the disabled  and running even very small orders.

Civilware? His companies have the worst names. Like he just adds an "E" on the end of a word or expression and calls it a day.

He's not looking at the camera and showing his face because he knows how lame taking pictures like this is.

bitch has a green light if he ever steps into baja, theres quite a desert horned sheep lovingg community over here, its our representative, and this bitch was killing them for fun and smiling on the pictures, fuck geoff.
Glad his shit went under

Deer is the Illinois state animal, you should come after the entire midwest

I don't like hunting but let's be real, if you eat meat (as I do, for better or worse) there's no moral highground to take against it

Him and Daewon were skating a bunch for a while there last year. It almost looked like they were working on more cheese and crackers?

https://www.instagram.com/cheeseandcrackershq/

He's a good follow on insta. Pops up every now and then with a ridiculous clip.

I would gladly pay in flesh (NOT mine) for another C&C: the original jawn made my year back in aught six, as I recall.

As a teen, Rowley was one of my heroes and now I found he likes hunting and posing with the animals. When did he start it? I had no idea.

I used to pick him half the time when THPS-1 came out, but yea its was weird when I was on IG and seeing his posts, claiming his hunting was helping to control over population...last time I checked wildlife populations were in decline due to civilization /industrialization.

I have to go find my copy at my parents' place. Such an amazing video. Would love another one. It would be cool to see them do other stuff too, like messing around at a curb or something. I know that's kinda overdone, but it could be a cool little 5 minute adidas thing.
