Just thought of it but maybe Jerry knew he was on his way out and that Emerica may be in a bind so he quietly retired to save them whatever amount he was being paid

Jerry could still put out an MJ-level tech part if he feels like it

I noticed that too. Emerica was just a dayjob. That's the way it goes.
And I wonder are those Spanky's shoes samples from his Dad's neighbor?
I heard it today, "make money, buy sandwiches".

Looks like he's off the site. :/


Really bummed to see. His Made 2 was one of my favorite parts of last year. Kinda starting to get worried about Emerica in general.
[close]

Their team members are dropping like flies, and the new ams they added really aren't hot fire marketable dudes to anyone that isn't stuck in 2007. Nobody digs the long haired rail chomping Black Sabbath baseball shirt vibe anymore. Kader was marketable, but he left months ago. I love Emerica's shoes, it's sad thinking about them dying off!
[close]
Victor and Kevin are going to slay on trips, Zach does his own quirky thing. They really do need one more am who can really deliver. Anybody know what their flow team looks like?
[close]
You don't get it. All three of their new ams are, in essence, huckers, and that's more of a niche market now than a guaranteed return on investment. It's 2018, and not enough people are into that type of skating anymore to continue to base a brand's entire image around it. This is twice as troubling when you look back into who the brand flowed over the decade, versus who they put on.

Agree. Case study: The fall of Black Box

Saw him wearing Adidas last night. Would not be surprised to see if he is done with professional skateboarding.

He was wearing Adidas when not skating even when he was on Osiris. I remember someone making a joke about it in an enjoi tour article right after Bag of Suck came out.

I'm just waiting for a Jenkem interview with MJ where he finally says - "All my career moves were based off how much I fucking hate Jerry"

If Jerry gets on, I'd say it's pretty much MJ on nike confirmed.

It feels like MJ has just turned into the drunk uncle of the skateboard industry. Companies are just like, "Can he stay on your couch for a while? We're kind of done with him."

Just thought of something. Does Jerry have any sponsors now? Currently no board or shoe sponsor. Can't imagine he is still riding for Royal, if he quit Chocolate, why the fuck would he stay on Royal? But he is still on the Royal team page.

Skatepark Of Tampa has Ricta Wheels as his wheel sponsor, but he's not on the team page. Why the fuck was he riding for Ricta? Also says he rides for Mob and Swiss, so maybe he only has a griptape and bearing sponsor? If so, that's pretty sick.

Is Jerry the most respected pro with bad sponsors in skateboard history? Osiris, Ricta, and Royal at one point?
[close]
   I bet he rode royals cause he liked them. -hes Jerry hsu, one phone call and he'd get on thunder or Indy or whatever.
[close]
He was on Thunder around 2000’s, I always wondered why he got on Royal, like is crailtap having sort of package dealthta you have to use their product...
[close]

Pretty sure they pay riders, thunder indy venture does not, and he actually did skate them for a long time unlike most the dudes.
[close]
What about the pro model trucks (indy thunder)? no cash for that?
[close]

Yea im sure you get royalties, but royal will pay monthly vs. the rare chance you get a pro truck that stays in the line longer than a season
I don't know how Thunder and Venture work, but Indy pays it's top 10 dudes, likek Reynolds, Danny Way, Tony Hawk all get checks but a lot of the other dudes don't and may get a pro model truck every couple of years and make some money from that, companies like Royal have to offer a steady paycheck to any dudes they want on the company. This is why so many dudes will ride for some dumb truck company then ride Indys or Ventures irl. Beibel and Stevie rode Ventures when they were on Silver, back in the day Creager was on Gullwing but he would ride pretty much every truck but Gullwings. He even had a gullwing ad slip by that he was riding ventures, also there's an Ave cover where he's riding ventures and has a Royal ad in the mag.

Being out of the loop doesnt preclude you from getting a joke though, right?
At least when you're a washed-out hipster douchebag in NY, you can milk it at some decent looking, hard to skate spots. In LA you're just a tan-lined faggot in a school yard somewhere.

The joke is that every time MJ quits and joins a company (Maple, enjoi, chocolate....) Jerry quits it too and follows him to the new one, then it starts over again.

Shier and Chico are boys from the DVS days, so now that he’s the Addidas TM, he’s probably just hooking up his friend. It would be great to see him get paid though, Chico is ripping harder than ever.

That's basically want I meant, Chico (despite him ripping harder than ever and being way more productive than MJ) is flow at best.
Him and Jerry deserve mad scrilla but it's probably more like a few boxes of shoes here and there. What a sad world we live in...
