Maybe I missed a thread but.
Freedome. Freedome to skate. 66/99
- pretty similar to ‘Freedumb’ wonder if corpsey will be bummed.
- 66/99 a pretty direct reference to vans. Odd to make such an unabashed nod to a shoe sponsor via a hardware offering.

Lmaowut free dome? Rowley doesn’t have any homies that aren’t yesmen or what.
Terrible name. Change it while you can and shalom.

We are seeing a whole generation of pro's who don't look on the internet. All these dudes must be thinking they're about to get booted but they're leaving their sponsors to start their own BS. MJ is going to be so mad when he hears he didn't attend Cairo's new board graphic party.

Graphic is tolerable. Just looks like a flip graphic to be honest. Is this a one off type deal? Or is he going all in and doing a full fledge company? Seems pretty half baked with a name like that. Also what makes anyone think that putting another board brand out is a good idea? Does he have money to burn? He must be making a killing off of ivory.

Agree, there needs to be a dumping ground board company that takes in all the old washed up and retired pros. That or old pros need some sort of retired veterans pay from the goverment of skateboarding to put some stop from them starting bad new board companys

Interesting idea, that I think might end up happening. Grabbed one of them that they randomly had at LB Skate today. Shop dude said Rowley told them the name might change as it progresses... that Freedome or "Freedome To Skate", as the website and insta handle say, is some sort of statement? Whatever, I was just interested in the shape and the imperfect hand screenprint job is great. Poorly indexed prints actually get me hyped.

Freedome was the name of a concert hall in my hometown.
Guessing the CTE finally caught up with the man.

Too bad he didn’t call it Freedome 14/88 so we could have a 50 page thread about it.

It's basically the santa cruz style mixed with the flip bulldog logo
crazy

Was this graphic done by the dude that animated those Vans rider stories leading up to Propeller?

Wishing him as much success as Ronnie Creager had with his board company HighSchool Dropout skateboards...This immediately gave me the same feeling when I seen how hard these guys worked to come up with such innovative names.. awesome...

Left it way too late, should have made a move as soon as departing flip. Either that or just get on toy machine, it really would be the perfect fit.

I find it funny that people make a big deal of the screen printing of boards vs heat transfer or whatever when it makes absolutely no difference to the actual functioning of the item. I guess the same goes for graphics in general tho.
If brands get their wood from the same or common suppliers basically they are just marketing departments which is pretty wierd if you step back and think about it.
-
i think screen printed boards last longer and dont chip or flake the way heat transfer do over time. that would only really matter to a collector though

I couldn’t tell a heat transfer from a screen print if my life depended on it.

Please Louie, don't do it!

Nothing wrong with it if that’s what you like to ride. I personally ride 8.38 with a 14.38-14.6 WB.
I just think he should’ve done a couple different sizes. Unless these are limited wall hangers or something? I don’t know. Just kind of weird. Doesn’t he want to reach more people?

Are those Ed Roth illustrations or did another artist just ape his style?

I think the bottom would be by Jimbo Phillips. Just guessing since it's newer.
Those dogs on the Rowley sure do look an awful lot like Peter Bagge's work. I wonder if they are or if someone has figured out his magic tongue drawing formula.

Helping rich dudes hunt big game is pretty lame. The response to this board brand is karma
Bout to go off like a dweeb so my apoglies before hand cause this is actually an interesting topic
Big game hunting for sport in Africa nd shit is lame no doubt, even if most of the meats/furs go to local tribes. If you flying over and killing giraffes and lions and shit him that is whack. Ivory hunters deserve the worst. However, is some circumstances conversation through culling is a needed evil even if its hard for a lot of people to wrap their brains around.
Put into perspective though the elk pictured is only found in California and was on the brink of extinction 30 years ago, conservation acts were so successful that now there are too many of these elk. So many that they are running out of food on lands that were more than suffice in providing them with food the entirety of their existence there. This results in them expanding outward and searching for new feeding grounds, these grounds are owned by ranchers and cattle who have occupied the space for nearly a century. Cattle are docile, they dont give a shit about fences, they know that's where they stay, they know thats where they will eat. Elk have no fucking clue, all the know is that fence is in my way of food, so that fence needs to go. Witch leads now to a loss of funds for the rancher, and possible losses of cattle. Coexistence often times is only possible through selective culling.
You no how many critters would go extinct if wolves, mountain lions and Panthers were allowed to reproduce exponentially with no population control? Same could be said about these elk, hundred of thousands of acres of grassland exisitng since the beginning of our inhabitantance here have been depleted in matter of decades. This displaces wildlife in vast numbers and does more harm to wildlife overall than simply issuing a few tags every year to thin the older male population out. Judging by his size and antler set on that buck, he lived a long and happy life.
Tl-dr. And sorry 4 being a dweeb.
I know a lot of open minded vegans and vegetarians who understand this. As counter intuitive as it seems. Culling for conversation is neccessary, the Elk geoff was pictured with is a part of one of these programs.

Rowley is not a stand up guy huh? Bummer

Well, fuck Rowley. I knew he was into hunting, which is lame, but anyone who poses with a dead animal, smiling, is a piece of shit. I don't care if you're contributing to 'conservation' or whatever. God damn social media - another legend ruined.
It’s an Elk. Relax.
Helping rich dudes hunt big game is pretty lame. The response to this board brand is karma
Bout to go off like a dweeb so my apoglies before hand cause this is actually an interesting topic
Big game hunting for sport in Africa nd shit is lame no doubt, even if most of the meats/furs go to local tribes. If you flying over and killing giraffes and lions and shit him that is whack. Ivory hunters deserve the worst. However, is some circumstances conversation through culling is a needed evil even if its hard for a lot of people to wrap their brains around.
Put into perspective though the elk pictured is only found in California and was on the brink of extinction 30 years ago, conservation acts were so successful that now there are too many of these elk. So many that they are running out of food on lands that were more than suffice in providing them with food the entirety of their existence there.

I’m kind of the reverse of Rowley, I’m a vegetarian who used to hunt and fish, from a family of hunters and even a hunting guide in there.
I don’t have much complaint with sustenance hunting, it’s a very honest way to get meat, if you don’t have access to a lot of modern day conveniences.
I agree with some of the facts you presented above, but I have a problem with the conclusion I highlighted.
The ecosystems you talk about, the predators you mention all existed for millennia without the human need for ‘control’. Which, in the case of wolves, was almost complete anihilation. Or another native species, the buffalo, almost killed to extinction to deprive native communities of food.
We have upset any balance that existed, and continue to maintain this artificial state you need to rationalize human intervention and the killing of predators, as if they are the cause of animal extinction and not our fucked up agricultural priorities.
All of this done to keep cattle, and the massive ecological problems they cause.
Ranching (and all like-minded industries that see nature as something to be screwed for profit) is the problem, not other species.
The modern meat industry is fucking horrendous, and hunting is only an ethical option for marginal communities.

looks like retirements going to be alright for rowley. going to miss seeing him skate.
-
How does any of this have to do with this brand of his? Does there really need to be a separate thread all about his hunting so you guys can continue to talk and not see each other's points? Anyways graphic looks very meh, I'll keep up with it to see if it goes anywhere/if any young guys get on the team.

If you get a dopemine hit from killing another animal then there's something wrong with you, and judging my the photo and his huge grin Rowley was high as a mofo!

They take pictures to commemorate the achievement and build a portfolio. Pretty simple stuff really. Most businesses who offer a specialized service will have a portfolio of pictures of their work to get an idea of what they can do for you. Tattoo artists, car audio, detailers, paint shops, etc. all keep photo records of their work that they use to persuade potential customers to do business with them.

Geoff didn't harvest the animal, the other guy in the photo did but Geoff is happy for the guy and the fact that they had a successful hunt. Hundreds of hours of time and effort goes into making something like this happen and when it all culminates in a perfect near 60 yard shot with a bow on a trophy bull, everyone around (guides/friends/family/strangers) is excited.
Have you never built something, worked on a project or learned a new trick that takes weeks to accomplish? It's kind of like that but more meaningful. After all that scouting, these guys crawled around for hours in rocks and grass clothed from head to toe in 100+ temps to get it done, they have every right to be happy as fuck.
-
the bottom line is if you derive pleasure from injuring or killing animals then you're definitely on the sociopath spectrum
the fact that serial killers(of humans) also: spend hours stalking their prey/keep trophies from their kills/harmed animals as children is not a coincidence
this is clearly his hobby that he does for fun -- the notion that he is doing this because he is deeply concerned about wildlife conservation/species control is completely disingenuous

I've never spent hours and energy and thousands of dollars to go out and kill another living thing, no. Fuck people who kill for sport.

Hunters probably have a lot of respect for BTK right? He put in the work.

not sure why he didn't just wait to release the boards along with his video part that is coming out in june/july, a actual proper launch. not that the world needs another geoff rowley x motarhead x ditch part, but it's something

so as long as we put time and effort into something, then that gives it meaning and justifies said action yeah? What about stalkers? They put in lots of time and effort into their "projects"
Actually fuck it mate, can you just PM me your address so I can crawl around for hours in your lawn with my cannibal mates before we finish you off and eat your fucking corpse? Don't worry, Iill post pics on the gram to build my "portfolio" and make sure we do it in hot weather so that we have every right to be happy as fuck ;)

I don’t hunt myself. Definitely not my thing.
I also don’t know the story behind this, but usually what happens is, you have a guide (Rowley) and you hunt an animal (Elk) and yes, you get the trophy head, if that’s what you’re into. But you actually take the Elk to a butcher and you get the meat. The meat from an animal that big last like a whole year.
They’re not just going out there, killing an animal, cutting the head off for the “trophy” and leaving the body behind. This isn’t a “Dances with Wolves” scenario.
Like I said, I could be wrong. But pretty sure you guys are bitching with no knowledge to what’s going on.
But what would Slap be without that, right?

not that the world needs another geoff rowley x motarhead x ditch part, but it's something
maybe not the world, but i personally would need something like this.

Sometimes people should urban dictionary the names they are gonna use. Company sounds like he's offering free blowjobs.

It's amazing that Phelps even gave him a name and he still went with Free Dome. Also, way to get edgy with the strike-through on the Dome Rowley ::)

a board company we definitely do not need.
Couldn't agree more. Awful name,just one size board and no team at all? Better keep riding blanks.

I'm thinking the hydrant board has gotta be a homage to the Deathbox "Rocker"?

him on toy machine probably would have been way sicker.

Kinda looks like he could've saved some trouble and just stayed on Flip

I dont even really like toy machine but yeah I think thats where geoff belongs. It was tight that he said he was down to change the name but he shouldve done it by now. Even some kinda cheesy uk sounding shit like "sham" or "rubbish" would be way sicker than freedome

Where I grew up, "dome" means "blowjob". After his guest spot on the last KoTR, where he came off kinda, umm, gay, I have my doubts about a useless wooden toy company, with graphics as cartoony as this shit, called "free dome".. Time to start separating the art from the artist here?

everyone who really wants to buy a Rowely board will just pick one from his brand. Outside of maybe some flip reissues I don’t think there’s demand for rowely boards to put him on another team. I guarantee he’s making more money selling boards himself then dealing with royalties.
