If they didn't put John Dilo on what makes you think Jack Olson will?

[linzrobertson]

Saw that. The dude is ridiculously good at skating, it’s a shame it took so long for him to finally get the bump from real, and now vans won’t even have him. Is it because he just looks like a regular guy on a board? What if Jack started wearing cut off big boys, shaved his head, and wore cons hi tops with a studded belt, do you think Jack would be cooler?

Edit- going to answer my own question here- honestly yes.

You right about that John Dildo is pretty good. Just used to seeing him wear Vans. But yeah, probably just got a few pairs to get by or something.

I like the kit he has going right now tbh, but I been watching his skating since 2013, so maybe I'm just scared of change? Haha

Speaking of Dilo: I hope that YRS IS HIS contract upgrades his lifestyle.
Dude stuck it out for a long time.
Kinda like young Jack over there.

Agreed with you! Hopefully it does something good for him. He definitely deserves it!

[Prostate Exam]

Atleast the shoes look better on him than Vans did. In my opinion he would fit NB the best. I really doubt that Lakai will go further with him than just sending some shoes.

Don't make me go through this again. I was about to buy my first lakais only because of Dilo.
Also a huge fan of Jack

Facts - LOL @ Lakai for absolutely kooking that one

The Jimmy Wilkins connection

[Madam, I'm Adam]

Lakai has a dude named Greg DeHart on their team, and I literally have never watched him skate. I think I saw a photo of a 5050 in one of their catalogues, but that's it. I'm sure he's good at skating, yet he's nowhere to be seen really.

It's just funny that they've got this relatively unknown kid on, while they passed on Dilo who's ripping and always getting coverage.

They've been pulling this move for a while, I think there's old catalogues with nakel in them from before he was anybody. I think the difference is it's probably cheaper to feature an amature/flow guy than put a pro on legit.

Both miles and nak were on before adidas poached them. Interesting timeline that would have been.

[Fongstarr.]

Miles getting on Adidas essentially helped is career since Organika went under at the time. Then he went to Numbers which who knows if he got paid a lot or not. Definitely a smart choice after the facts.

To be fair has anybody left lakai for another brand and it not been a smart choice?

Sebo Walker left Lakai to Adidas flow, he could still had a check on Lakai nowadays.

Could argue that MJ leaving lakai was a terrible idea long term

[mamba]

Jack on NB would be great. companies are fucking up not putting this guy on

[Doosh215]

I'm still pissed at Lakai for passing on Dilo. He would have been a great fit. The Japanese kid whose name I can't pronounce is pretty cool though.

tell me one thing about jack olson that doesn't involve his skating

[shouldn't]

tell me one thing about jack olson that doesn't involve his skating

the only things i’ve read about him are that he’s the biggest bully in the van somehow, which confuses me being that he’s a pale/skinny ginger from minnesota.

Heard they stopped paying and that's why he left.

There was a lot of Daniel Wheatley hate on here back when the flare dropped. Then he started working for Lotties and now everyone likes him. I think lakai was just poorly managed and the dude was stressed out. The real question is  , is sebo still on krooked? Doesn’t the majority of the team hate him or something?

Olson should just get on Etnies, he’s the perfect amount of very talented skateboarder and very bland human for them.

[behavioralguide]

he should start wearing a helmet/wrist guards and really lean into the rad - dad aesthetic

[linzrobertson]

Check out those baggy carhartts… I think jack’s taking my advice!

Someone on real is on some jock shit? Weird. But serious how could any one let that guy bully them. Even in a joking way and he just goes over board. Look at him. You would have tons of ammo to duck with him back. Plus skinny ginger who could take a day walker seriously ?

Danny Garcia leaving Lakai for eS.

Pops leaving Lakai for Cons.

Biebel leaving Lakai for Diamond Footwear.

I'm a big fan of Jack's for sure. I must say, it is weird seeing him skate with such great trick selection, technique, and soul even though we all know gingers do not have a soul.
