What’s the hardest deck brand to become pro on?
« on: July 07, 2023, 08:08:45 PM »
Politics aside and considering skills only, Revive is easiest, what’s the hardest?

Zero is what first comes to mind.

Theres no separating politics from skill in pro skateboarding.

Every company is a clique. Style matters, personality matters.

True core skateboarding is not a metric skill to be measured.

Crail has to be the answer. I don't know who made the decisions over there but they definitely blew it with a bunch up and comers in the 2000s.

Northern quietly had a lineup of rippers. Athans and Jameel alone should have been enough to get them more respect but as a company they were kind of born at the wrong time I suppose. Not a lot of people on here even realize that was another Fletch company but he had a great eye for talent with all his brands. With DOA he had Ben Havran who absolutely rips and Herb Brown who I do not understand why he's not the most famous skater in the world because he's the best.

I think the main deluxe board brands make you work for it, especially Real.

Scott decenzo never even went pro despite being their first am iirc .

Joslin was really only am for like a year and half tops. He wasn’t even officially on till true dropped In late 2014 and was pro by September of 2015 . That’s basically the time it took for the video to be seen and pre books for his board so essentially he was pro since true dropped.  That’s not that long. That one mcclung was am forever despite being on longer than Joslin though

I heard ya can't get on "GX1000"s skate team until you walk into a bar, slam $30 into the jukebox to play Limp Bizkit's "The Nookie" on repeat for 15 times in a row, play some pool and take command of the goddamned table, don't let anyone else on, hustle at least three (3) fools for money, receive a call from your girlfriend, start crying, have a breakdown at the bar, and then shred hard down some hardcore f-kin hills, straight home to forget any of it happened at all. Sleepy time

Gotta be one of those toy store brands. Can you imagine getting good enough to turn pro on one of THOSE?!?
Or maybe some shit like that Pacific Skateboards that dude was trying to pawn on the bloards a few years back. Only pro models he had were of dead musicians, so unless you were Biggie, Tupac, Hendrix or… was it Nipsy Hustle(?), you weren’t gettin’ a nod to the pro squad.
I want to know which deck brands the hardest pros will be cumming on.
OP can get back at me once they’ve got that critical piece of intel.
