For some odd reason he showed up on my IG feed and I got a good chuckle remembering this guy exists. I checked the Flip site and was *shocked and appalled* to see he was no longer on the site!
I Googled ‘Ben Nordberg Slap’ to see if you fine folks had more recent news, and I saw people saying he was pro for SOVRN a couple years back. I see no Ben Nordberg decks on their site.
I am SHOCKED and VERY DISAPPOINTED to see that our sweet boy seems to have no deck sponsor backing him. As we all know, he is a very focused young man known for hitting the big street spots on the regular. Gosh damn, what a loss…

Obviously 99% of you know I’m joking around… I’m not shocked to see he seems to have no sponsors anymore. I suppose he’ll ride off into the sunset doing a bigflip back noseblunt stall on a mini ramp a couple times a year, and continue his brave foray into the fashion modeling world. All whilst holding a deep secret shame and resentment that he’ll never be as hot as Dylan was / never have Dylan’s effortless “it-boy” factor.
I wonder how many street tricks Ben Nordberg even filmed in the last few years of his careers on deck sponsors? I think I remember seeing some (i.e. about as many as you can count on a single hand) flip-to-stall tricks on a couple banks… simply pretending he was comfortably back at home on a smallish mini ramp.
Oh, how the years fly by!

Can't believe SOVRN is still going

why do yall hate him again? he likes fashion?
-
why do yall hate him again? he likes fashion?
Partly, yes. He also only released like 95% mini ramp/quarter pipe/bank footage during his tenure as a sponsored skater. On all aforementioned obstacles, he would basically ONLY do assorted flip-to-stall tricks. Almost never slid ‘em. Legitimately almost NEVER really skated other spots.

Personally I hate him because he’s so sexy. It’s that distracting I can’t enjoy the meagre footage he did put out.

Didn’t even know he was on. I don’t “hate” him but def not someone I’m stoked on. I saw him skate Tampa Pro a couple times and I’m pretty sure he didn’t land a single trick in his runs. Maybe only a few during practice. Looking at his Instagram now and it seems like mostly LA SoCal park clips. Good tricks but normal stuff you’d see from any good skater there. This bigspin noseblunt revert at the volcano QP was sick though.

These are too many words written on Ben Nordberg..

i rmember being moderately interestd in watchign this emaciated mannequin skate around the time of this video, it was obvious he could rip a big ramp and had the potential to get a bunch of padless vert clips but now looking back it's obvious he was never really into skating or falling out of love with it getting onto flip, and i'm sure the time chris cole got baited by that fake ig account and told ben how his career was a dead end didnt help

There's actually a difference between having no board sponser and riding for SOVRN?
-
I heard he got kicked off because he doesn't even like urinals, always been a stall man
-
interesting. ive always thought he reminds me of a bunch of kids i grew up skating with. they were absurdly talented but literally never left the park.
-
That’s it. I can’t take it anymore. I am quitting skateboarding and turning my back on the industry.
This is the biggest injustice since no Guy SOTY in 2012.
Life isn’t fair.

According to leading biostatisticians, if he spent only 3.92% of the time riding a skateboard that he spent looking in the mirror or critiquing selfies he would've been the legit goat..

CHUMP!

Comeback 2024 - he's gon' start going ham doing WILD tricks off crust banks over BIG picnic tables, hit unique handrail spots (often switch, doing front shoves and all sorts of 180 variations onto the rail) in narrow alleys with iffy run-ups, and more. Most certainly we'll see the lad huck some FAT unexpected flip tricks over the blocks at JKOWN & hellride up north to do wild SF hillbombs popping balls-out on flip tricks - unprovoked and often even without a filmer - on flat at FULL speed (doin' it for the PHELPER, mannn... he'll be smiling down), right in the middle of the most death-defying moments of the speediest downhill rides even the most ~core~ fellas had never dreamed up. He's gonna be our guy!
Whew, he'll be a nervous wreck when he was to choose between Krooked, Hockey, Quasi, Sci-Fi Fantasy, Jacuzzi Unlimited & Polar. Undoubtedly, representing Dime as a clothing sponsor. Juggling offers between Nike, Adidas, Converse & New Balance.
The guy'll be coming up faster than the aftermath of our loaded plates at a 1PM visit to a Chinese buffet in South Dakota, and I'm sure he'll fave full support from all of us.
My Chinese Zodiac? I'm ditching the Dragon, petitioning it to just be 'year of the 'Berg'. I'll be hosting a support group on Discord for all the others here with that unquenchable thirst for the Nordberg renaissance.

Why do you guys go to such lengths to get info about some dudes sponsors? What is this obsession? I don’t get it. Is it the skaters version of girls gossip? Am I socially akward for not caring about that stuff? Or am I not core enough? I’m confused.
-
I'm joking, my man. My jaw will be on the floor if this guy ever has a board sponsor again.
-
Well you joked yourself then. Doing your detective works and stuff. Wasting time and resources and all for this.
-
I spent about a total of 45 seconds looking at the Flip site and then Googling 'Ben Nordnerg Slap'. That was the extent of 'decective work'. What, have you optimized your day that every single minute of the day is ultimate efficiency ensuring you live your best life? Your previous post is about as long as it took me to discover this goofy meme skater from the mid/late 2010s has, inevitably (from lack of motivation and progression), faded into almost full obscurity from the skate industry. Plus he's a pretty goofy looking model, not even the best looking fella

Backside flip fakie 5-0 a hubba. Dude can do some fucked up shit but chooses stalls in ditches. Wants to stay injury free for his modeling career? Doesn’t want to dirty his ripped tees? We’ll never know.

I bet he doesn’t even sweat when he skates. There’s just a smell of petals and fresh watermelon wafting as he skates by.

I think they call it dewmelon, or dewberry; my circa 95 girlfriend used to wear it. You'd have to agree, though, smells better than Evan Smith going by..

I saw him skate a miniramp in 2011. He was doing kickflip pivot fakies with his sweatshirt hood up and the sleeves covering his hands. I remember thinking he skated like a ghost. An emo ghost. Like he didn't seem to be affected by gravity. Arms more Antwuan than Antwuan. Reminded me a bit of Penny on the Amsterdam ramp in 1996.

Hate to be that guy buuuut.. there are most definitely still Nordberg boards on sovrns site.
Sold out. But every deck on their site is sold out so that's not saying much.

I also remember everyone being impressed by him, when he arrived (wasn't Ben, one of the few positive things Watson had to say about extremely sorry, when he reviewed it on youwillsoon?), and he could be pretty funny and self deprecating in interviews, so he also got some goodwill that way.
It was just like he never really materialised into anything better than what he first brought to the table
