Polar makes a 7.87 board so I have to back them.

Isn’t he of being the boss?

He was the one that said board companies have a 10 year lifespan, right? He probably wants to pull the plug, just can't bring himself to do it.

he already copied alot of the good shit from back in the day. What else can Pontus gentrify?
-
Did anyone see his story post the other day where he posted a butt plug, and said happy international anal day?

Pontus is just in his Kool Keith era, spending the advance at the sex shop

Now isn’t that something we can all get behind?

Pontus is in his Caligula era, about as hands off from Polar as he can be.
Living off Aperol and anal sex.

DGK make a 7.9 but it's shorter at 31.35 and sub 14 inch wheelbase.
The Polar 7.875 is 31.6 with a 14.125 wheelbase.

I think passport and magenta will do one 7.875 per season. Palace and evisen I think do too but they use the DSM boards so that might not be good for some people (altho I think I'd prefer it for a skinny board)

Polar was sick with these graphics, and then adding in 93’ and big boy jeans.
But now I feel it’s losing appeal.
-

I expect Emile will be going pro immanently. I’m also surprised it hasn’t happened yet. I know the artist who did his graphic and saw it months ago. It’s amazing.
-

He's probably just out there looking for like 4-5 flavors
-
I think I remember someone on here saying that Pontus wasn't too regularly involved with Polar now and that Paul Grund and Nick Boserio were keeping things moving behind the scenes. Wasn't there another rumor that Sounds Like You Guys Are Crushing It was the last full length Pontus was gonna personally edit? If both are true then he's probably taking a backseat.

I feel like falling asleep at the wheel is what the kids want. The companies that phone in do much better, hence 917. . . He literally told the customers he was phoning in. . . I hope everyone knows what that means, I have been surprised lately on some of the comments on here to be honest.

917 has been practically out of business after all their riders quit lmao what
-
not for nothing, on the post with emile’s asics footage that polar posted, the only liked comments were the ones where people mentioned him going pro/wanting a board with his name on it.
-
Yes they somehow made it to the top ranks of skateboarding, mostly 2014-2016
But hey, it a swedish skateboarding company on a global market that's crumbling nowadays
The skate trends have gone to other directions and kids aren't interested as they were in polar (OR THEY GREW UP)
I, being a fan, havent't bought a Polar in years mostly cause of the prices
heir shit gets REALLY expensive over here and its normally leftovers from previous seasons... isn't worth it at all

Soooooo Pontus confirmed sulking over what people on the internet say about him (specifically SLAP members)?
-
Idk why this particular thread would bother him so much tbh …
-
Yes Pontus, Nice jab back.
Can we now get some new Pontus footage with some Wallrides and full speed lines. Then all is good again.
-
I've seen a lot of companies have come and gone over the years. Polar is really one of a half dozen that really made it in my eyes over the decades. Up there with Anti Hero, Baker and... not sure what else has come out since the 90's that felt really original and had staying power. (Yes, I realize those companies are mid 90's-early 2k). There are certainly others, but those are the first that come to mind for me. What are the other ones that come up?

Since some people on a specific forum thinks I am sulking / being asleep at the wheel I provide you with 10 slides of Emile to enjoy.
Don't worry everything is normal / everything is under control.

Yo Pontus whatup good to know you're on it with emile. Since my initial post bothered you enough to post about it, maybe it's some consolation that I've exclusively skated Polar for the last three years (that 9 inch Brady/Hjalte shape with the wheel grooves is magic). Been a fan of your work ever since Strongest of the Strange, don't worry too much about what people say on the internet ;) while we're at it, what about that aperol anal allegations, any truth to it? ;)

Confused by all this dislike over polar when they have consistently put out good videos and boards.

Amazing… telling people to relax in a caption about something that is clearly bothering you enough to make a post about it. Pretty on brand for Pontus.

feels more and more like a brand affiliate making a point to swing by and say "don't worry, everything's going great with the brand!" is the biggest indicator things are, in fact, not great with that particular brand

During your injuries, you disappeared from the Polar roster. Why did you leave?
I don’t feel like I left Polar, cause it wasn’t fully my decision. It all started when they stopped producing my pro models, but it was ok with me as long as I was still on the main team. By the end of 2015, Pontus texted me that he will have to limit the number of riders in the team and, unfortunately, it will be me and Jerome that have to go. I kinda understand his decision. By that time, Polar was changing from a local European company into a big international skate brand and they needed some big international names. In February, I flew to Copenhagen for the premiere of the new Polar video. I met all the boys from the team and had a really great time there, but I felt like it’s not the same as before, that my time in Polar has passed. Imagine you get fired from a job but still come to work to hang out with your friends. They are working on new stuff and you have nothing to say. Makes no sense. Two days after the premiere, I had surgery, so I had a lot of time to think things over. And during my rehab, I decided it makes no sense to carry on with this project and it’s time to start looking for something else to do.

Why is it always “a certain message board” or similar wording? Weird how industry heads seem to perpetuate the notion that slap is some kind of delinquent peanut gallery but will take the time to vaguely address it and clearly care about what is being said about it/them on the forum. He didn’t really indicate it like that in his post but it just made me think of how so many people do.
-
Love Pontus and Polar, but Pontus seems awfully sensitive..
Chill homie, when you’re hands on we like what you do. Polar just needs some kind of a re-up, because it feels much like a different entity/hollow at the moment.
Bring back the comic style graphics and Jacob Ovgren art!

Slap is the prime mover of the skate world, we talk shit and people feel compelled to prove us wrong

I feel like it’s because the people that “run” the industry like to pretend that they actually “run” the industry. When clearly it’s the consumer that dictates what works in the industry and what flops. They should definitely take notes from the pros/ shop owners / brand owners/ TMs who have embraced what the slap community actually is.
I personally feel like owe a good portion of my shops “success” to the Pals that support it.

What does “actually skate” mean, like approaching sponsored/flow level? Why is everything so industry focused… what happened to moving/expressing yourself freely or whatever hokum they write on the surf pant tags.

Funniest thing is I’ve spent more on Polar goods than any other brand, between jeans and hard goods.
So if Pontus wants to shit on the people with the $$, so be it. Kids aren’t out here spending money, it’s adults.
Also, I’d imagine many of our pals skate much more frequently than Pontus.
-
Somehow him hearting that comment is way more of a bad look than the insta post itself.
-
I mean to be fair if I ran one of the most popular skate brands in the world and someone made a thread about me on a message board basically saying I suck at what I'm doing, I would catch feelings too.

slap talks a lot of shit and speculates about pontus being an alocoholic and whatnot so i kind of get it that hes not a fan haha
im excited for new polar videos, team is still stacked with good stylish skaters, i need an ibu part!

why did dad board go to bat so hard for slap in that ig comment? rly embarrassing lol
polars rise to prominence coincided with a years long break from skating, since i got back into skating in 2020 none of their board graphics / creative direction have appealed to me at all

he'll be hyped when board sales go up after this ... the boards seem nice enough, pretty mellow, I had one and it was okay. I like Magenta and Limosine graphics better and the boards seem basically the same. I'm sad I wasn't in skateboarding during the glory years, but it still seems like a pretty cool brand.

Someone mentioned this in Hjalte thread but I haven’t heard anything to back up that claim.
Though I’ve heard about Pontus’s stubborn personality and that the guy can be quite much to deal with at times. I wouldn’t be too surprised if he really tried to mess with Hardbody’s distribution.

Love Pontus and all of his various projects, but it’s coming off super sensitive and insecure to give so much of a shit about what someone posts here.
I find a lot of people that are pretty much universally loved on here spiral out at the smallest bit of negative opinion, while people who are hated on incessantly tend to not give much of a shit.
If you can’t take what people on here think, what do you think is being said in your local skateshop or at the spot?

Just wanted to say Pontus isn’t Polars only owner.
And he’s no longer in charge of the brands artistic direction. Or at least has taken a back seat.
Sirus F Gahan is the creative/artistic director.

Hjalte leaving has me thinking how much it must suck to have one of your top riders leave for a homie brand who’s entire current art direction is based off a quasi team board graphic.

This makes me actually like him. If only he was on stage with bisexuals eating fruit loops like Keith.

was it ever honestly? my only polar board i've ever had was a hjalte with a jacob ovgren graphic when i was 14 and even then i thought it was kinda dumb but the first 2 polar promos were cool so i bought it anyway. 90% of their graphics feel pretentious.

The videos had a lot more art in them and generally better direction, i like it here inside my mind is one of my favorite videos because of their art direction. Boards have generally remained similar in terms of artwork, but the clothing (like a shit ton of brands right now) is just really unattractive and has been for a while. Every season is basically a few new tee designs, button ups/polos, a few new color/design/material of big boys/grund/92/93/44!/surf pants. It's just extremely boring, like you could take a design from years ago and re-release it and nobody would even be able to tell.

Yes, Jacob Ovgren graphics were like a literal early 90’s World style throwback that is infinitely better than anything since.
I even say this having displayed nearly the entire “happy/sad across the world” collection on my wall.
The entire company aesthetic was better a decade ago.

As long as it has a bad picasso rip off graphic you guys are buying that brand. I Like the board shapes.
Also I don’t believe you guys that you actually bought polar boards because you were a fan of Sören Blicknilson or whatever their riders names are it could’ve been any Scandinavian name and you would’ve bought it. Print that shit on a board rip a Picasso painting off in the main colors yellow green red and blue and there you have it folks. Insane art direction of polar.

I like it when my rep gets worse with post like this and not me criticizing a nazi skateboarder. Seems like this page is full of nazi lovers
Shut the fuck up about N*zi shit too. You're no justice warrior, you're a bargin-bin shit stirrer.
Yea I don’t like a brand that popped up like 5 years ago I don’t fuck with big boys or their graphics I think it’s shit but that’s just my opinion right?
buy some boring ass last resort shoes that are wobbly as hell „but guys if you put some 20 dollar insole in them you can actually walk in them isn’t that a good thing for shoes“ fucking lame as hell brand.
I do not care about Pontus at all.
How dare me to criticize a guy in SS shirt and trying to spread the word to keep that son of a bitch out of any skate event or sponsor. Fuck a industry that calls out people that fight against that how ever they can even if it’s spreading the word. Let me stirr my shit boy

That’s so core bro I hope Pontus comes back and saves us from the sell out of skateboarding :(
Would you ride blanks and wall mart shoes if skate companies are not profitable anymore? I think I would. I like the feeling of skateboarding you know. Grinding. 50-50. whole ledge.

I'm very here for nazi and any right wing extremist fascist dumbfuck-trashing but your take on Polar is tweaked. Watch the early videos and tell me in all seriousness that isn't something entirely fresh and new. Like Alv or not, there would be no DIY revolution without him and probably no rise of the Euros either.

Let’s just admit that everyone’s been ripping off Neil Blender for a long time now.
To be fair, Picasso had his hands in most western modern art movements therefore many brands arguably turn out low quality rip offs directly or indirectly and I associate polar with more so ripping of Matisse but I don’t think they’re dishonest about that homage.
Anyway. The anal sex and aperol comment really got to him lmao too accurate eh

Plus polar is one of the inventors of the shittiest thing in skateboarding next to dime: shitty overpriced skate clothing that fits like ass (may be not the pants) If I want a good jacket I’ll buy one from North Face or Arcteryx or whatever and not some 250 euro crap that fits like shit. Saw a fucking dime corduroy pullover at tj maxx the other day. It was one of the worst things I’ve seen in my life. Horrendous quality. Imagine spending 50 euros on a polar tshirt lmao

They sell es and emerica tshirts and cheap skate shoes if you’re lucky
RVCA probably the most but They quality is really really bad. I would never buy rvca

Everything’s going to be okay. Nobody is making you buy a Polar/Dime Jacket or Tshirt. Just breathe and try to remember you’ll be okay

guy is pretending like the rest of the industry wasn't putting out absolute garbage in terms of clothing quality. I remember a lot of the tees from the early 10's, one or two washes and it would shrink a lot. Wouldn't even buy pants from skate companies because they always split at the crotch. God, I remember when Fourstar was doing a lot of business and had some of the absolute worst quality stuff. All in all, the polar jeans are actually pretty well made, maybe the fit is wonky but that's the entire point. I'm ok with high prices on clothing (Rassvet/Dancer are the worst examples) considering that $140 in 2024 is equal to around $65 in 1993, around the same price for blind jeans.
-
At least rassvet actually knows how to produce clothing like knit wear and has actual knowledge in how to cut clothing so it fits. Skateclothing and skate outerwear always feels like a dad said hey we don’t need the expensive clothing we can do it ourselves and at the end it fits like shit and costs about the same as a jacket that was made for climbing up mountains. But aye it doesn’t have a skate logo on it my hard earned money doesn’t go into the pocket of a man riding a skateboard. I really want to start to just buy food from skateboarders and also office accessories if anyone knows a shop let me know!

Personally, all the Rassvet stuff I've owned hasn't fit particularly well. I believe all of the clothes are made and distributed by CdG, which is why a lot of the clothing is pretty good quality. They used to make Gosha's stuff when he still had his own label, and I always remember it being solid. I mean honestly if you have such an issue, why not just go and spend money at dsm/end/noah and get what you like. you have a choice on where you buy stuff, I personally only wear plain tees and rarely buy any of this expensive skate stuff. I had a spree of buying polar pants last year. also, I highly doubt most of the polar fanbase is actually buying the flannels or puffer jackets. so ultimately who really cares that much, like it's far and away better than whatever crap crailtap was pushing out a decade ago.

This is also what I’m doing. Cheap white shirts instead of logo shirts. If you want to have a solid good one in rotation I’d recommend the Uniqlo basic shirt but since I need T-shirts for work I also just grab a 5 pack and I’m happy. I think rassvet and cdg arent working together anymore and gosha isnt involved anymore in rassvet but linked them with clothing production companies and helped them with other stuff.
I also doubt polar is selling lots of knitwear and jackets but if you have a name that actually sounds cold you should know better what you’re putting on the market

Sorry- North Face is VF corp- they’re associated with Supreme and Vans- so you aren't allowed to buy them bc they make too much money and produce too many skate videos and that’s bad. Arcteryx collaborated with Palace- Slap hates Palace too. Stick to the Polar garments or buy some sweat shop made clothes that have an acceptable skateshop’s name on them so you can feel better about supporting a mom and pop that can’t pay their employees a living wage so they pass the costs on to you like all of the other slap posters. They love that shit.

Everybody can have an opinion Id be glad if I don’t have to see the ugly ass polar circle bullshit logo in skateshops anymore.
Skateshops in the 90s early 00s we’re just filled with so many sick shirts and good graphics and logos.
Where did all the fun go?
Man do I miss walking into one and not just see a brown grey burgundy fucking mess next to ugly ass polar gear 20 dollar footprint socks and some thrasher collab crap.
I want alien workshop alien head next to zero skull tee next to a hook ups pin up girl wherever I go. If it’s not those companies at least bring back creativity by newer companies. Skategear is mad uninteresting to me. A basic white tshirt is never out of style.

If y’all didn’t spend your whole money on this boring ass company may be those times wouldn’t be over. Those fucking hipster as video titles „everything is going just fine“ is just great marketing tool to seem down to earth while your whole video is just pretentious hipster skaters wet dream.
Don’t believe me? Let’s see in 20 years if anyone has a nostalgia „remember those times? I wish we had them back“ moment when seeing the polar logo or any video from them. It just doesn’t connect fun to me.
It’s just DIY artsy enough to make y’all spend your whole money on it. Y’all ruined the entering the candy store moment when I walk into a skateshop for me with your pretensions „I’m going to save skateboarding by buying polar“ ass world view.

Polar was sick with these graphics, and then adding in 93’ and big boy jeans.
But now I feel it’s losing appeal.
I agree about those graphics. I still love polar. I'd help them if it was possible. I'm still fuckin with Metal. That's what I'm invested in besides 18 Baker and Toa blands.
I like Violet but I don't think they need my help at all. I should have gotten that King Nak board tho. The one with the show flyer.
I like Nak on punk rock. I feel like that shit makes total sense. He's got that attitude
