Meanwhile Josh Harmony is still 50-50ing and Nosegrinding through a "pro" career. Fat people must not sell alot of boards.

whitest team ever

and vans

oh yeah i dont participate in reddit-style in-jokes.

I'm really curious as to what the reasoning for this is, as Johnny still fucking rips and Harmony hasn't been cutting it for quite some time. I know they gotta make room for all their new pros but fuck, could his board sales have really been that bad? I know Matt B has been having a renaissance lately but is he really selling boards?

Possibly Workshop, I heard early on that they were considering moving a current Tum Yeto rider.

josh harmony bums me out, layton and marks atleast put out more in either quality or quantity.
-
Weird. I don't see him anywhere else besides another Tum Yeto company. He has had his fair share of injuries but seems like he always produced. I wonder if he was let go or left of his own accord?
-

on the ig post j lay said that he isnt getting on alien
-
Heard that he just wasn't producing and sells weed for a living now.
-
ah the angel ramirez. classic.
-
Bummer.
-
Unreal how Josh Harmony is still pro and J-Lay isn't. Best of luck my shower selfie taking friend.
-
Now Ed can afford to put Chris Senn back on the team. ::)
-
I'm actually super bummed out about this. Toy Machine's always been my favorite board company, and J-Lay's always been one of my favorites on the team. Hope things work out for him.

RIP JL'S CAREER

hoping he's not actually off vans too, dying to see his part
-
Well he seems to be on Vans still due to the comments, really hyped in hearing that the video should be out in Spring.
-
whitest team ever
lotta white teams. fancylad ain't got no people of color. people in mass were so offended that they made a human barricade and blocked the higways into boston so no money would go to the fancylad mansion and nobody who was stuck in an ambulance would receive proper medical care, they got rerouted to worcester.

Maybe he should have threatened to knock more peoples teeth down their fuckin' throats.
haha who said that?

Leo and Layton were the only relevant ones in the Tum Yeto camp.

thanks for the already old news.

i nevered liked Josh Harmony, didn't think he was very good and hated that whole Patrich family hipster band thing he and his wife were pulling, but he had a few things The Berrics Red Video that actually got me hyped.

I'd like to see him on 3D.
-
A couple days back I don't know why but I got the urge out of nowhere to watch him skate, so I went on YouTube and watched a bunch of videos of him; then today I read this; pretty weird.
I've always thought he was one of the more popular guys on toy too. When I would see a kid riding a toy deck a lot of times it'd be his.
-
the weed biz probably pays far better than toy or any board company ever could. maybe he'll be alright with just vans and the trees...in any case, this guy is still capable of a lot on a board, so hope he still pushes himself a little bit. wasn't he throwing switch tres down the house of hammers 15 a little while ago

Everyone just felt small with him in the van. Kicked off for having a kingshlong

Right. Kids who can switch tre flip 5-0 handrails or come out of nowhere alongside Westgate, Provost and Leo aren't relevant.
Don't throw the rail babies out with the bathwater

You guys actually watch Johnny Layton shit? No one has ever given a fuck about him beside the tight jeans hammer gay but not gay crowd. Plus he's just your poor guy underdog who could of been on Anti Hero but wasn't hence why we have Andrew Allen. Shut up with this shit. He's a bore and if you like him you don't like anything good.

How is billy still on and J-lay off?
After that dick pic he's probably moving product to a whole new demographic of women and gay men, bad move toy machine.

Gonna watch a J-Lay part now cause he is one of the best to watch.

Maybe dude's over it. Skateboarding isn't really a lucrative career path. Sometimes people are just done and they move on with their normal life.

Black people don't have disproportionately large penises. I believe that stems from way back in the day. White people feared the black negro stuffing their giant phalluses deep in their white women's snatches. Anywho, stop spreading that stereotype. It's nothing but damaging to an entire people. Think of the social consequences people have to live up to that, and the plight of those who don't measure up. Not that it's been a psychologically damaging to me at all. ::)

Johnny posted this a few days ago on his insta but Vans reposted it earlier today. So I guess that confirms he's still on Vans. And that he still rips.

To be honest Josh Harmony looks awful on a skateboard now days,
Matt Bennet's new part was pretty weak and Billy Marks has slowed
down considerably over the last few year.
J Lay was literally the only guy I liked on the team, Leo is pretty cool
to watch but a tiny bit repetitive after a while.
Johnny has amazing power and control while skating, its a shame
he's leaving the company as without him its a bunch of has beens
and some young guy who turned pro before people knew he was
on the team.
-
Out of the Good and Evil era guys, Josh Harmony and Layton were the two sickest. Billy Marks was great but ended up becoming kind of boring and repetitive. Bennett has always been sick but he never progressed past his suffer the joy level of skating. (except his ender in the Dekline video which was dope as fuck).
In terms of jlay, Im just curious why they dropped him/why he left 3 months before the biggest video of the decade comes out. Someone mentioned 3D and that would be so perfect.

people are saying he's still on vans a few posts above you

Yeah, Provost is sick, seems like all of Toy Machine got old at the same time outside of Leo and Provost. Leabres is sick, but its a damn shame Trapasso left to start LE his Suffer the Joy part is probably my favorite part in any Toy videos made in this millennium (Comparing things to Jump off a Building and Welcome to Hell just isn't fair.

I like the team but I hope they make it a point to promote jordan taylor more (or jordan begins to produce more ads- whatever the case). Toy definitely needs more diversity.

So just poof I'm not pro anymore I'm a marketing guy at vans? Why does that seem worse than getting completely booted off of everything

Good for him I guess, stable career to support a family.. Doesn't change that fact that I really wanna see his footage!

Seems weird to me that there was no real send off, unless he either didn't really want one or it's being saved for the Vans video.
-
Proof that no matter what they say, EVERYBODY lurks here.
-
He still seemed very capable of putting out parts. He slowed down but he still did more than some current pros. I guess it's a smart move in the long run. Gonna have to face the music eventually. Might as well get a jump on it while you're still pretty young rather than milk till your in your 40's then realize you're fucked.
-

I mean, every post he's had on Instagram for like the last two months has been bombarded with this question, so I don't really know about that...
-
i think its pretty tight he can transition to a career at vans. They have good benefits dental 401k etc. The only check he's missing is a tum yeto check which he no longer has to kill himself for (its probably not much anyways). He still gets unlimited supply of shoes, skate the epic ramp in the back, check is guaranteed every two weeks and its a marketing and promotions job how hard could that be? Theres dudes who go out and have to work very shitty jobs after skateboarding.

I hope the dick pic leak was all a set up to show how he can pull off viral marketing. Maybe J-Lay is way more genius then we thought. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next to promote Vans.

Well that all seemed pretty odd, fully understand why he would take that job, I mean put your hand up if you think your current job would be as good as marketing and promo for vans.
All seemed kinda odd though, why not announce it? Go out like Heath not like Pops.

True but like Aatila suggested maybe he lives in a two income household. In addition if he was smart with his pro earnings he may not have a house or car note. So 40k+ (hypothetically) could be absolutely sufficient.

His job is in Events & Promotions in their marketing department. Doesn't anyone realize how awesome of a gig that is to get anywhere, let alone a corporation that sells skateboarding shoes???? He's probably getting paid to help put together and coordinate all of the premiers and release parties for the Vans video. Sounds like one of the most fun and ideal jobs to have in the corporate world....and you can bet he'll be skating on the clock all of the time, too!

No kidding. Especially considering he didnt have to work through the ranks at vans from a desk. Sounds like he practically walked onto the job

Thats what I'm talking about, rather work at an abattoir? fuck outta here. Plus I'd be thinking more like $100 then $40k unless it is a charity placement.
-
^^^Not really sure what you're getting at with that last bit, are you saying he was independently contracted to work some one-off events for Vans? I think the dude above you got it, although I could be totally wrong, but anyway if he got a salaried job over there then he must posses a nice skill set..other than skateboarding. But I'm sure they welcomed their loyal ex-pro with open arms.
-
What officially was the reason he got kicked off Toy and Vans? Or did he quit?
-
I think J Lay had a great run as a pro. Hopefully saved some money and now has a stable job with Vans. I couldn't imagine a better way to spend my last 30 or so working years.

Guys, I know there are idiots galore on here, but I certainly considered that he lived in a dual income household. Not sure where you guys live, but even if his lady is bringing in 40k, they are probably still living tight in California.

I live In lb not to far away from dude and you can afford housing here. Long beach is still one of the last beach cities with affordable housing compared to everywhere else in so cal. I make a average salary with benefits 401k paid vacation etc and by myself I can take care of housing, bills occasional gear shopping etc. With planning and being smart you could live fine.

Lets also not forget that he did have a signature clothing line, shoe, etc with Vans. He could potentially already own his home, and have money put away. Also I'm not sure why we give a shit about his finances but that Good & Evil will always stoke me out

I'm saying a marketing & promo gig at Vans for an ex pro athlete would be more likely $100K then $40K, but thats just a guess.
I deal with marketing managers/account coordinators/assistants daily and I find it is the type of role that involves a soft skillset, and that seems to make for some fucking really incompetent people occupying those positions at times, whereas in positions with hard skillsets it seems a lot more obvious who isn't working out.
