One of the most frustrating things about the stereo reboot, was that they actually had a really cool team, and it seemed like it had the potential to create something meaningful... they just never really did anything with it.

I’d say it was going pretty well in the beginning…at some point they lost their way and put dudes like yoshi tanenbaum and Jordan Hoffart on. Even Danny supa and Kyle leeper who ripped but didn’t quite fit the vibe. And all the ugly mall-style graphics started flowing in. And they weren’t paying their riders I believe.

I honestly have a soft spot for Stereo and would like the brand to be cooler in the future.

‘07-12 Stereo squads were so underrated.

Guys like Renaud, Shimizu, Molinar, Jack Sabback, Benny Fairfax, and Olly Todd fit perfectly. Even Supa and Ben Gore made sense.

I always thought Brian Brown would’ve been a great fit for Stereo.

Now all the dudes who fit the Stereo vibe ride for Loophole, Last Resort, and Limosine.

they should stick to their roots with their graphics and then get a team that skate like they did in a visual sound. then perhaps the brand could be relevant again.

Is that overall lady? She dope.
What they need to do at stereo is film a flower in stop motion so you see it grow out of the stem and like blossom and then wilt and die all the leaves fall off and then it’s just dead. Then they need to watch that shit and pontificate

Well. It’s the end of a Monday and they dissed me out gs. I really thought I could help stereo out cuz I liked jazz music like Sunday or some shit but then I listen to like a whole Sunday album and it bummed me ou then just ti make sure I was t acting like a fucking crazy I  listen to jazz music for a whole day and I got bored and I was thinking maybe stereo not king maybe the brand dead. I mean Clint Peterson is in the team. He sucks. When I partied. I would leave if he showed up. I wasn’t really picky about who I wanted to part with at the time. I was living in LA and I was a drug dealer so I dunno. Stereo riders never had that money and always just tried to kick it.

I was always a fan. They lost their way over the last decade or so but maintained a good aesthetic, outside of their mall boards.
My favorite board I ever had was the Jason Lee retirement board, cowboy riding into the sunset. It’s the one board I’d spend stupid money on to have again. It’s kinda hard to even find a pic online…or I’m just stupid.

I really like how loose Tincan Folklore is and while A Visual Sound's soundtrack (mainly Ululation, a jazz group from 1987 featuring Pastras' father) is a perfect aesthetic fit, I think the ecclectic music in the former is a lot more exciting. However, it loses points for not featuring Mike Daher, Bobby Puelo, and Ryan Hickey. It's especially odd that Daher wasn't in it; full-on Mandela Effect as I imagined many years later that he had a part.
