Word on the street is that Gustav is of Sour.
I could actually see him on Krooked because od Gonz connection.
-
if the word is on the street but there's no word around town...
can we even trust the word ?
https://youtu.be/0GRkI609uQk
-
I was also thinking he would actually be a perfect Krooked fit
-
He’s 34. I wouldn’t be surprised if he retires once his Adidas contract is up. Or decides to focus on filming.

i think he's advanced from filming to photography
-
He's retiring because he's defeated skateboarding, there's no more tricks left for him to do.

I don’t think it’s ancient. I’m 34 and I can’t imagine having to skateboard for money.

He is, Matt Hensley retired at what 22? Gustav is long overdue

Bastien is 40, released his best video part in 2003, was on a sponsor deathbed (cariuma)... and is now getting a pro shoe on lakai...

OK OP, next thread let the Krook joke for us.

Sour is probably one of the coolest crews out there. I just hope he continues to bless us with his magic. But what are your sources OP, wasnt he in the 3.3 video?

Sour is 100% much cooler in my book than any try hard trendy brand.
I don't think Gustav has any interest in being on one of these companies, neither is he interested about getting on a US brand.
I do not trust that rumor one bit, but if it's true, i can't picture him anywhere else. Not for lack of talent, of course, but just because that's not what he seems to be chasing.

Mental gymnastics to be different and original < an unoriginal correct take. What about current Lakai makes it a good brand? And yes I've seen their tour edits. Competent video making and skating is a dime a dozen.

Are you saying that the “age out” ceiling hasn’t risen to legitimately insane levels over the last 30 years? Should Reynolds stop skating stairs because he’s over 35? I’m not saying Gustav is still in his spring chicken youth but he easily has another 5-10 years of extremely enjoyable footage in him. Retiring anything at 22 because you think you’re aging out is stupid as fuck lol

People on here have no original thought which is why they hate new Lakai. Whatever, more Rip and Dip shoes and cum stained sweats for me!

My unbiased, personal opinion is that new lakai is trash reserved only for new skaters, old heads that don’t keep up with skateboarding & moms who see them on sale and are upset because Kaden just tore a hole in the pair we bought him two weeks ago and these were on discount.

The real gymnastics are everyone trying to make the claim that the current iteration of lakai is any worse than it had been for the last 20+ years...
Lakai has always been a massive flaming turd of boring shoe designs, horrible colorways, and heinous collaborations. The art direction sucked ass too (rainbow checkerboard fully flared garbage) - This was lakai under Rick and Mike. No one seems to hold them accountable for being the reason lakai went out of business in the first place.
At least under the new management there is potential for an upward trajectory. The upcoming zenith shoe is far better looking than anything coming from the other core skate footwear brands.

Just joking about how one point in the industry 22 was considered too old to skate and how dumb that was

Ternasky forced Hensley into retirement is the unvarnished truth.
Chromeball interview with SLB brought that truth to light because he tried that shit on Sal, too.

TJ Rogers is 34 and was on the bunt yesterday talking about wanting to go back to Wallenberg. Age in skateboarding isn’t really a thing anymore. Plus of all the pros out there Gustav could easily run another decade on just low impact fun stuff and still have 3 minute parts that are mind blowing.

Feels like the bottom of the barrel of slap posters in this thread, yall really can’t tell the hockey comment is a joke? Sour 3.3 is not out yet, go read the article on Free you might learn a thing or two and have a better sense as to why Gustav would be stepping away and why.. I’ll save my finger strength trying to explain

'26 seems like the year of projecting age in lew of someone just saying their personally over it and/or over pushing it to certain extents (Non pros). I dunno, maybe its always been the case (Jason Lee interviews saying he felt done at 25 vs Omar Hassan still getting some)

30 is the new 20

Basically, this Guy Tomas started an online skateshop - Junkyard- in a very small town outside Sweden Gothenburg in which very quikly became biggest online retailer in sweden. They had a OG team with Pontus, Björn (Sour owner), EJP, a few more.. and me. Björn and EJP is from this town and was local at the time.
He started Sweet, that Björn basically ran, and when Junkyard got bought out and wnate dto kick all riders off, they ran off and started Sour. Its Björns company basically ut also a collective in sorts. Emil (Who is my old student togheter with Josef) is running the operations in Barca, after Björn relocatedto Malaga.
We have a premier for 3,3 tonight, will be fun. Now im curios if Gustavs in it.

The real gymnastics are everyone trying to make the claim that the current iteration of lakai is any worse than it had been for the last 20+ years...
Lakai has always been a massive flaming turd of boring shoe designs, horrible colorways, and heinous collaborations. The art direction sucked ass too (rainbow checkerboard fully flared garbage) - This was lakai under Rick and Mike. No one seems to hold them accountable for being the reason lakai went out of business in the first place.
At least under the new management there is potential for an upward trajectory. The upcoming zenith shoe is far better looking than anything coming from the other core skate footwear brands.
I will say in current lakai's defense that they are the only people that could get anything out of Bastien since he left flip which is a pretty great accomplishment despite what I/ we think about them post-crail...

My favorite part of these threads these days, is where people still think that anyone without a sponsor will still get picked up somehow.
Bastien is 40, is on a sponsor deathbed (lakai)

Slap hive mind take. Do you have any opinions of your own?

lakai kept its appreal, relevancy, mystique MAYBE 5 - 6 years post fully flared.
whenever that video “the flare” came out, i was already done caring about them or wanting to wear them.
was that video any good btw?

The Flare is pretty decent video but I saw it the first time like 4 months ago. That’s 8 years after it’s release. Usually I watch all the new videos soon after they are out.

tbh, I don’t pay much attention to either, but his output on post-crail lakai is the most we’ve seen of him since the flip days, someone could run the numbers I can’t be bothered ttytt….

For SOmeone Who Cant Be Bothered You Certainly Have A Lot To Say Bout The Matter .. So Do You Care Or Do You Not Care?

Certainly not
-
Can we please add a question mark to the thread title, it makes me sad
-
I actually thought it was his brand, feels like a major hit to their identity
-
Certainly not
Got anything to back that up with besides "trust me bro"??
-
Where is the proof ??
-
New boards up on their site for both Simon and Gustav.
-
And Gustav is in the new Sour edit?
-

They didn't include the Gustav one in their IG announcement of the new boards so they must be reading the forum.

He’s definitely of Sour. Pontus is giving Gustav his own brand

First step is building a sick team. I could see him picking up that dude Nisse,
vincent huhta is sick.
What about Martin Sandberg. Then you got to have Josef he is the man.
Simon Halberg, Barney Page. They all seem to skate together so it makes sense.
Now for a name... hmmmm

Sour posted the Marten Sandberg and Simon Hallberg slides from this week's Quartersnacks top 10 on their stories today, but not Gustav's. Wow! Excited to see what he does next

Gustav leaving Sour (if true) feels similar to when MJ left Enjoi. Core of the apple is gone.

So the whole Thread was click bait?

The fact that he's so reserved and maybe posted this because the colours matched didn't even mean he's leaving Sour. Crazy.

Pontus commented in Gustav's post that he was off that he was sending him a box. So it might be flow or a hook-up, but it would be a nice fit.
