They are both killing it lately but not getting any shine, I know vans team is stacked but half the team hasn’t really been producing lately But get away with it because they are legends. Anyone else Vans is sleeping on?
-
I may be wrong about this, but I’m fairly certain Vans has a reputation of putting rippers on ice for way to long and losing them. Winkowski was pro for SC for almost a year and Vans didn’t do dick with him, and they lost him to emerica. I’m fairly certain that’s not the only example.

they get paid, and they travel. off the top of my head it's nick michel, kadow, kader, glick, diego todd, brianna, dustin henry, justin henry, beatrice, fabiana delfino, etienne gagne

i don't think so, he just had a anti-hero ad in the march issue for thrasher, think it's just vans looking after him a little.

Henry Gartland seems to be in the same “b team” position. Hopefully they come out with a cool video project introducing some of the new blood

that statement was equally insulting to both skaters

Jenkem should do a interview with the employee/intern in charge of editing these "team pages"

They should follow it up with interviews with the people that still check skate company websites...do any of them have interesting shit like the old Toy Machine,Shorty's or TSA websites?

i know it's odd, but getting on the b team isn't some pathway to get in the big dog team. that team is insanely hard to get on.

This leaves me curious as to why Kader left for Vans b team, while Winkowski left b squad for pro emerica team.

I would have thought Justin Henry was on track to fully get on, considering he had footage and was listed as a rider in Spinning Away. He's the only one of them who had that.

I was thinking the same thing but there aren't any ams listed in general.

because he is getting paid at vans. he wasn't at emerica.

I thought for sure Justin Henry was on the real team, as well, but I haven't seen him in any Vans ads beyond his Spinning Away appearance. Hm.

Yeah thats fair. When I posted that originally, I was coming from a place that now Kader is pro, I wonder if he'd get paid more as an Emerica pro rather than vans b-team pro. It was probably one of those situations where he didn't think he was gonna go pro anytime soon and Vans had money for him regardless.

I heard rumour that kader was getting paid more than Eniz and the Euro dudes, it wasn’t from Euro tm so I don’t know how reliable that is...

I wonder if he sat at table with the grown ups and shunned the euro guys too just fit in.

Every black skater unless Chima is/was b team on vans. Like Bastien and Darrell.
-
Whoever updates and runs their team page has no clue what they’re doing or talking about. I work in a Vans store, and we thought it would be a cool idea to put up some of the bios/pictures of some of the guys on the team. Long story short, their bio for Kyle Walker said “wins a lot of demos,” they still list Chocolate as Berle’s board sponsor, and the funniest one is in the photo they provide for Ronnie Sandoval, he is holding a Lakai shoe.

Didn't know they gave out pro models to the B team.

It's absolutely insane to me that Vans would put Kader on the B-Team. He's one of the most popular and marketable skaters out. I feel like they are just waiting to announce him with a marketing initiative.

They are coming out with another montage/2 part video soon
-
So... the b team is just am+euro???
-
There seems to be a strange structure to the Vans team these days. Guys like Kader, Glick, Kadow, Aidan, Axel, Johan , Justin Henry all get posted on their instagram but no official announcement? I'm sure at least some of those guys are more than flow and probly getting a paycheck.

Kader is going to almost in 2020. He’s going to have a “darth kader” pro model along with a darth Vader themed pro model shoe from vans.

well yeah, thats what this program is. they are involved, but vans just have different tiers now. it's 2019. it's a little confusing to us outsiders, but if those guys are getting paid, and getting to travel, it doesn't really matter in the end, 'official announcement' or not.

Just imagine looking at the Nike tiers of their team

This is gold.
Side note: Henry Gartland on rainbow fun-dip confirmed

I’d like to see Kader and the Alltimer’s dudes get fully on, rather than that dufus Tyson Peterson.

I could care FUCKING LESS about beatrice diamond. Shit style and no thought goes into her skating.

imagine the thought process behind someone wanting to sponsor that

Pretty easy, the guy fucking rips. That noseblunt in the scramble video was pretty nutty.

It’s not really a B team. It’s just the people from the US/Canada that don’t have pro models.
Andrew Allen is on the North American team.I don’t think he’d be on the B team? I think vans is just trying to sponsor more people like how Nike is

I think they need to be careful and not fall into the Emerica trap, where they had a sick EU squad that never really got pushed. Skaters like Kader, Kadow, Dustin Henry, Karl Berglind do need the recognition/prospect of being on the team page of the vans website.
The whole EU, Canada, International, Asia team lists feel like one big flow deal if you don't include them.
-
the tiers seem kinda odd(from what ive heard, itd be interesting to see a list). kader seems way more popular/marketable than curren caples or say pedros barros or whoever on the full team. maybe its cuz they were on before? they must be eventually putting kader on the listed team eventually
-
Pretty sure Vans is doing a separate team repping exclusively the classics line - Axel, Kader, Greyson.
All three of these guys left shoe contracts (pretty big ones) to be on this Vans program.

Just cut those guys guys and give the others a real paycheck

Do they? Like everyone’s been saying B team is all over Vans’ insta and employees/vets/insiders like J-Lay’s, and that’s what gets you incentive and exposure now. I get that it’s a nice feeling to be on that team page, but the only people checking that shit are the one’s seeing if skaters are “on” or “of”

i think the canadian riders just fall into the vans canada segment
there will be a vans x baker collection coming out fall 19, i think that's when they are planning to fully promote kader instead of whatver they're doing now
