Title: Dustin Dollin stops his skateboard career?
Post by: Bubblegum Tate on March 08, 2008, 02:28:29 AM
Is this real? Press conference?

Dustin Dollin Announces Retirement From Professional Skateboarding

Here is his press conference :
"Well I've had a good run, I grinded some big rails, I had a bunch of pro-model boards, wheels, and trucks. I've had pro model denim with Volcom, and I've had a series of very successful pro-model shoes with the Vans shoes company." The Australian native told the press in attendance. "I honour and cherish my time as a pro skater, but the fact of the matter is that I'm getting older and my body just can't take the punishment much longer. I'm known for going pretty big, and it's taken a toll on my body."

He also talks about his futur career :"I'm getting into the fashion industry. Anyone who saw my episode of Epicly Later'd knows that I am really into fashion, and have a keen sense of creativity. The good thing about my new career is that it will still allow me to dabble in the skateboard industry. I'll be helping with apparel design at Baker, I have some great ideas for some puffy shirts, and I'll also still be helping out at Vans with shoe designs. Right now though my main focus is on the world of high fashion. I've recently signed a contract with Benjamin Cho as a runway director, and I am really excited about that. There are a lot of similarities between skating and walking the runway. Both take grace, finesse, and a lot of courage. With that in mind, I believe I am in a unique position to bring a little bit of extreme to the runway."

Oh yeah, totally real. I didn't believe it at first but then I texted my man Dollin and he confirmed it, so yeah, it's true.

That's weird... he hasn't been answering my calls lately; I figured he changed his number but I must have said something about his puffy shirts and now he's avoiding me.

Extremely respectable way to leave skateboarding. His body isn't able to tolerate the amazing shit he does, so he stops being pro.Most skaters don't have enough dignity and self respect to do this, so they start skating transition/banks.

For everyone too lazy to click the link ABG442 posted. It is a joke that a guy in Saskatoon made up and people thought it was real.

I gotta agree it's a nice way to bow out. I'm not going to buy one of his puffy shirts, but have fun Dustin.
