Welcome doesn't even have a team page right now, from what I can see.

Hard to not be stoked on this. But no matter when anyone from Element ends up somewhere better I can help but think about Westgate

The only other person I could think of was Mock, but who really cares about that?

That Noah kid just left for Limo, that's literally the only AM I could think of from the recent batch.

Seems like Goure's been on and off hurt since he went pro based on his instagram. He's still on the team.

As far as I now, the roster is

Pro

Nora
Townley
Ryan Reyes
Nick Garcia
Jake Yanko
Evan Mock
Goure
Dvargs

AM

Ontrell Fisher (filthypond)
Will Blaty
Nathan Ko (bevup)

When did Welcome change its brand identity from a lesbian Wicca vegan spell factory to a Norwegian lesbian black metal cook book factory?
Title: Re: Nick Garcia on welcum

Early welcome was goated, welcome now is respectable enough because all the pros gets paid in ZumiezBuck$

Wtf I did not realize teen heartthrob Evan Mock was on Welcome skateboards team

Post by: TurdyBird on March 15, 2024, 07:38:04 PM
Love Nick’s skating. One of those dudes who is top tier but doesn’t really get the same spotlight as those who have that popular sponsors.

Thought sci fi would be a good fit, but this feels like it could be a cool home for him.

I’ve thought about getting a Welcome board before but PS length sizing is confusing compared what seems to be the industry standard with other manufacturers.

shoulda been sci-fi.

Scram woulda worked too

Post by: OwlGreen on March 16, 2024, 07:03:59 AM
Dude is wild talented but often puts a lot of energy into dumb tricks, so Welcome fits pretty well. Welcome has always been sus to me. In the same vein as NatKon, only less authentic. Like a brand started by a tattoo artist rather than a skater. If Welcome started to be sold in Walmart, I would respect it more, not less. It would at least make more sense to me. It's definitely a parallel-universe brand, like FP, Cariuma, Powell Peralta, Braille, all Dwindle brands, increasingly Element. A skate brand exclusively for people who don't skate.

Welcome is pretty whack. the collabs with musicians is the nail in the coffin for me.

Probably Seance, but that was most of the teams last video parts. But if he is still on, the point being that if you've been on a team for near 10 years and they haven't turned you pro, it's time to shit or get off the pot, for both camps. I mean Christ, they turned Evan Mock pro for being on a fucking TV show (while a smart "business" decision, a terrible instance of loyalty to your riders). But when has Jason ever been about loyalty?

Wasn't that Karl Berglind guy on the team too?
