Maybe my screen sucks, but it looks like he's got a black blazer with a red swoosh in the photo and a black blazer with blue swoosh in the footage. 3 shoes in one ad?

the red swoosh is on the inside, blue on the outside, you can see it in a frame or two in the clip coming out of the smith

Think he made the switch sometime around the summer, I know in his Nine Club Stop and Chat he mentioned riding Ace's.

Rad little clip! Can't see the benefit of skating 1 janoski and 1 blazer though, seems wayyy too different to me.

maybe stepped in that toxic sludge with one foot and needed a quick replacement, and the only other person with his shoe size had also just so happened to step into the sludge with one foot, but the opposite foot.  there's definitely some fan fiction to be written about this fateful day.

"Fuck! I got thick, sticky sludge alllllll over my size 13 Janoskis." Brian lamented. "But I really want to get this grind. What am I going to do? Is anyone else here a size 13?"

"I'm a size 13!" Bruce yelled from the shallow end of the pool.

"Can I wear one of your shoes?" Brian replied.

"Of course you can Brian. You can wear anything of mine you want."

Bruce walked towards the deep end of the pool as Brian walked towards the shallow. They met in the middle as Brian kneeled down and in his deep voice directed Bruce "Put your foot on my knee. I'll untie it and take it off for you...."

This is what I was thinking.


Also, if I'm not mistaken, this is the Albany bowl, the one that The Chief allegedly couldn't get directions to and ended up bringing a bunch of scooter kids for directions.

I'm pretty sure BA was in Albany when he got that bad shark bite on his ankle. Is there a chance that this is what he was trying, and then when his ankle was good enough, he went back and got it for the ad?

Here goes me with my ever so mundane thinking, but... Why didn't he just wear 2 blazers?

Yeah, no one likes it. No one's ever had anything good to say about it.

I actually work right around the corner from Portobello, but I'm only out at 5 when it's dark, so as the grand stretch in the evening starts to come back, I'll be there.

I've still got a pair of the ones with pink laces that were pretty easy to come by in box, size 11 that I'm hoarding. Nike fucked up not re rereleasing them when BA came out.

Also I met BA at Tampa Pro a few years ago and it weirded me out that I had a good couple inches on him, sig checks out, He seems like he'd be a good hugger.

I definitely remember seeing him on Aces back in the summer. I assume this was announced after the new year for some contractual reason

Often they like to have a video / photo for an ad or something to put out there, rather than just say something and not have much to show for it.

Rad pic, cool video, and interesting to see the shoes now it was mentioned, as well as his response.

Been over a year since riding the checkered trucks...

This is the earliest one I could find (also have that board and it is a beast, 8.75 FULL shape) but I am pretty sure there was something about it from late 2019 people were talking about, but I could be wrong.  Not trying to be the know it all, just something interesting that was noted in the many departures from Indy around the time of the "toy thing" at NHS.

I worked for awhile at Empire distribution in the bay area. They did Diamond, ACE, Force trucks, mighty healthy and some other brands. They wouldn't pay us $ but in product so at the end of the day we'd pillage the place this was about 08 09. Started trying ACE liked them a lot. Would see Tershay and Greg Carroll roll through occasionally but I guess Joey Tershay got the OG independent patent from Fausto and was somehow able to make it work. Dont quote me i was just working there but I found them again and for $40 you get yourself some awesome lightweight trucks no hollow stuff and Matt Rodriguez backs them so I'm back on the ACE program. Ride broken in outta the box too no changing bushings.  My 2 cents.

He was one of the only dudes getting paid on Indy for a while, maybe they cut that part of his contract recently and he just wanted to ride ACE's. Heard a weird story from one of his friends that he wouldn't even order boxes from Indy cuz he didn't want to bother the people there, that he would just go and buy them to trade product for them, but never order packages.
