I’d be okay with either. WKND does have space for a pro.

I’m certain he’s going to WKND with Gordo which will be dope cause he skates with those dudes anyway and he can hopefully pull WKND out of this johan slump and their exodus of a few others.
But someone mentioned alien that got me stoked their boards are great and I want them to produce more content.

They’ve still got the Xtian Moulaf guy; maybe pump him up as a style dude. Karate still there? Run a saucy advert. Pick up Tommy K & a female shredder to both a.) replace Sablone, and b.) show they stand behind their words as far as respecting females.
Their dorky little brand may be salvageable yet.
Be interesting to see what they do next, if anything.

My friend got one and gave it to me after 2 sessions because he didn’t like the shape. I snapped it after a few days on a flat ground fakie flip. That’s the only one Ive seen in the wild.

If I am not mistaken, there's some Jon Nguyen footage in the 411VM - The 522 on the 411 video from 2007 in an Adidas Montage, and I know there's Jon Choi footage in there too, and I don't think I am mixing them up but if I did (shame on me)  Linked to the \\\ montage below:
https://youtu.be/ePRVFwZ0dpY?t=1325
More importantly, this video is a gem! Van Wastell footage before he passed! There's even some Markovich shit in here, which is hilarious to just look back on! A number of montage/mini brand adverts with skaters we either don't see anymore or they blew up!
