I love Mike V and all but I'm wondering about these boards.
Thoughts?
-
i wouldn't mind having one as a work commute\old school session board. and even though he's a kook, i still feel mike v deserves to get something out of skating so wouldn't mind supporting him.

I totally agree.
-
not ever going to support that blowhard douchebag EVER! on the other hand, I'm sure the wood is fine, and elepant's got some cool shapes/graphics so why not try it out?

Did Mike V not sign your t-shirt at a contest or something?
-
I WILL NOT fucks with Elephant. Who wants to support this fuckwad.
Edit: I do like his skating tho.
-
It's a little weird that he is embracing this side of skating that really he was never a part of. When he was coming up he was thought of as super progressive-skating with Gonz and Natas, the first board that was close to what we all ride now, etc....and now he's this old school twirly board spinning boneless dude, doing stuff which he never did in his day. I'd rather him bring back the barnyard board and run through graveyards personally, but whatevs. Do your thing Mike.
-
Kook or not, his skating is a breath of fresh air. Hate on "gimmicky" skaters all you want, but every thing has been done to death, so why not twirl your board and do handstands if thats what you're into.
I wanna be surprised when i watch skating. I wouldn't personally get his board though. Maybe a Jason Adams

That Adams deck on the left is super rad. Was always super bummed when I was younger on missing out on buying a punk point. Still probably wouldn't buy an elephant though.
-
I THINK MIKE V WOULD HAVE A BIG DONKEY DICK
-
i knew that more than half of the responses were slandering mike v and not discussing the boards
-
They're pretty much the modern update for "old school" boards. They have a little bit of a nose on them, but they aren't completely flat. I'm not too fond of the graphics. But that Adams board on the left that was posted is looks just fine.
I haven't heard anything bad about them.
Definitely try one out though! What's there to lose?
-
First thing i thought of when i read the thread title

Jason Adams is rad.
-
I hate mike v but love the kid, San Jose legend right there
-
Jason Adams is getting paid by them to ride a skateboard so I am not going to complain. I'm sure the boards are fine, PS Stix makes them.

Is that a Tracker dick pouch he's sporting?? :-\
-
tracker junk bag aka jock-strap.
-
I feel they would be big and obnoxious, like come on an elephant on a skateboard......
-
Local kid here skates for him and he is pretty sick at bowl and vert if they stick to things that Mike gets down too instead of hopping on the next Alex Midler or tech madness kid than its cool to me

One of my best homies rides for them right now named Greg Valencia. I'm glad he's at least getting free shit.

So who makes the best rip off OG barnyard type shape these days? V-concave in the tail would be sweet but bet even the street plants don’t have that now?
Actually snagged an old elephant “circus train” model off eBay and it’s getting skated enough that I’m gonna need another....

That Adams board is sick but I literally never think about elephant, is it even still a thing? Different than street plant? Is this thread 10 years old and I didn’t notice?

Edit: this thread IS 10 years old
