I see multiple comments basically saying "good" and kinda shitting on Flip.
What did Flip do? Just not cool enough?

Are there any "legacy" brands (besides Indy and Spitfire) that are still liked or respected?
Seems like a wide cross section of skaters on the internet despise any brand that's been around for more than 5 years.
Even FA/Hockey are starting to get some hipster flak and I swear they were the hot new kids just fuckin' yesterday.

BAKER

Came here to say this. They count as legacy, right?

I know a lot of people hated on Baker 4, but it would be hard to argue with Baker’s output in 2022 thus far.

when i was a kiddo, it felt like there was a clear big three of girl, flip and zero - and they're all kind of seen as tragic zombies now. same goes for sovereign sect. and enjoi and almost and blind. although, crail and almost actually both have pretty great teams. element was never cool anyway. DGK just sort of exists. plan b is so bland it's bizarre. birdhouse was always pretty shit, imo, reynolds and willy not withstanding. i think the tum yeto brands are actually better now than they were back then, but it might be pushing it to say they're thriving. the two DLX brands haven't really had a fall from grace, but they were also never really at the top of the tree. and it's easier for smaller brands like 5boro to avoid losing their way i guess. skate mafia have been going a long time and all of their recent videos are incredibly heavy, but it's kind of a weird brand that's never made any attempt to be cool.

yeah, baker is essentially the answer.  if you had to pick a company to ride for established before 2005 with no option to bring back dead brands, i feel that'd be the sensible pick.

Good move to get off of Flip cuz I don't see what they are doing for anyones career there, but also just think Matt Berger is definition of skatepark/woodward so cal robot pro.

I could see him going to Powell or Santa Cruz.
I don't feel like Plan B needs a Berger style skater, they've got plenty already.
Of course Powell and SC do too.
Who knows though.

I can see him on Jart. They want to be that intl Olympic super squad so bad. When HLC got bought they put out that release saying their goal is to expand into more markets. They then added Manny to the team.

Anyway maybe he'll end up on something cool, wouldn't even be mad if it's dissorder.

Out of topic but who bought HLC? I thought that was still owned by the Iraola family.

I can see Berger on Sandlot times, poor guy

he was one of my favorites when i was in middle school cause him and his friends made dope edits at the kamloops park. him and ben blundell grew up skating together oddly enough, they couldn't be more opposite now. however matt focused all his youtube vids so he's dead to me now

Flip seems like it’s been skewing more Latinx in its rider selection of late, if that’s even intentional.   I’d almost expect Majerus to be next (if he hasn’t silently faded away already)
