Can you fucking imagine having to audition in front of Jason Lee? I’d crumble.

Cardiel recounting was so brutal :(

Stoked he’s got a new part in the works!

Post by: 144p on October 16, 2019, 06:43:57 AM: Great stories, I had also heard he was being considered for antihero when he was on the tent city trip. Gonna get his state shoe when it’s available.

Post by: Yesterdays-pop on October 16, 2019, 08:13:50 AM: I rode a few supernaut decks
Always loved this dudes vibe
Stoked on Quim and Freddy boards
Reminds me of when skaters were actually cool people

Post by: Cranberry Relish on October 16, 2019, 10:15:56 AM: Such a good one! Excited for his State shoe. I drove up to Sacramento one time with a buddy of mine who told me we'd go pick up his friend who was going to skate with us. We roll up to the house, walk up and knock on the door, door opens...BOOM! Matt Rodriguez answers the door. Next thing I know he's sitting in my passenger seat giving me directions to a ditch.

Having an agent does crazy stuff. Manny was also on the front end of the social media craze.

Manny also get a crazy amount of money from woodward every summer to be a visiting pro.

Post by: natenola forever on October 16, 2019, 10:44:01 AM: I used to always rock his Supernaut boards that had the shovel nose

Post by: Glue Reed on October 16, 2019, 11:03:31 AM: All time favorite. His IPath promo part is pretty much my pre-session hype up part. Holy fuck I miss Cat’s.

And shit... 125 pounds?? Dude must be tiny

Post by: schralp pal on October 16, 2019, 11:05:46 AM: His Tincan part is so good. I’ve caught him jamming with tommy at various venues - always great vibes. Stoked on all that new stuff we have to look forward to from him.

Was there any other vert dudes on the team?

Post by: GoneWithTheSchwinn on October 16, 2019, 12:59:13 PM: It was Vov.

Title: Re: Matt Rodriguez Chromeball'd
Post by: 43 on October 16, 2019, 01:58:04 PM: Big up Matt. One of the few who can skate a park and the footage is just as dope as street.

Post by: Christmas Complete on October 16, 2019, 02:14:52 PM: So good, this was unexpectedly one of my favorite CBIs. I love the name "Mexican U-turn" for the BS180/SWFS180 combo.
Man, fuck Vov (if it was indeed him) for effectively killing the brand right as it was about to take off.

It has to be BOB. He put the big ipath logos on the mega ramp jump thing. That's so marketable. Especially in an investors mind.
Not that I have a hard on for Bob either way.

Post by: Madam, I'm Adam on October 16, 2019, 02:52:08 PM: I'd be surprised if Burnquist told them that since he skates street pretty well and seems to know what's up, but you never know. I thought of Max Dufour for some reason.

I wanted to hear about BLKTOP Project, I bought their album.

Crazy he skated non-gripped boards.
Title: Re: Matt Rodriguez Chromeball'd
Post by: Bristol_Palin on October 16, 2019, 02:56:10 PM: knew about the trucks but knowing that he had a skating without griptape phase is wild.
