The entire Australian team got let-go
Element is in the suffering booth.
Heard a rumour the other day that the whole element Australia skate roster has been cut after the take over from board riders co... I know element doesn’t get much love on slap but it’s one of the handful of companies in Australia that actually pay their riders decently, so for the industry here it sucks to see it go.

Element Australia is a joke, they're more a clothing brand than a board brand in 90% of the publics eye.
They even had/have a flagship store in the heart of melbourne, and it felt like a mall chain over paneled in plywood with shitty music, filled with dads who wanna buy hip shirts
Hey Australian pals, it seems like skateboarding is pretty fucking big in your country. Are there big local brands there? Can these guys get on something there and make money? I'm just curious because you hear about all kinds of Australian skaters riding for US brands but if so many people skate then a lot of people are buying product and that money isn't really staying there when it seems to me could. Enlighten me please.

Off the top of my head there are a lot of homie brands and whatnot, Pass~Port are pretty big internationally speaking. Problem is most of these companies are tiny and can't/don't/won't pay as much as a big gun like element would for guys like Durrant. Private Joy is absolutely sick though, slept on but not a brand I see Dennis on either.
Both Dennis and Alex left because Element Australia is trash, but they weren't dropped/cut. Nobody wants to skate for Element Aus.
Dennis is going to skate for Time, an old Aussie company which recently rebooted, I'm pretty sure.

I wonder if Shane has the P-rod care about rippers who dont get shine. If he is, he should put Tommy Fyn on the team.
Great opportunity for Shane to get some hype for April. Can't think of many more skaters he can onboard that would have the same effect of making his brand cool/worth following.

Durrant is soooo good. Never understood why he isn't pro on one of the big brands (not just international). Big fan ever since this part:
