Maybe he's going somewhere that'll actually turn him pro
Source: his Instagram: @kellyhart

I wanted him to go pro one day :(

How about Organika? Hook him up Karl!

Pretty crazy to say this, but over 10 years of riding for @expeditionone it's time that we part ways. Had the funnest times of my life with them. Definitely have so much love for @troymorgan @chany1 and @mattdaughters and all my homies over there. I'm not really sure what's coming next, but I do know that I'm ready for it and it's gonna be a fun one 😉. Thank you guys!!!

is this surprising to anyone?

Could he be joining Prods company when it actually starts? could defiantly see him on the same team as Prod and Mikey

Has Cale got a new board sponsor yet? I know he had the guest elan board and was still getting flow from cliche. Would be sick if eS put him back on the team as well.
-
lol so i didn't say this months ago
-
At least he's getting flowed Es stuff again. If he doesn't get on some homie hookup, this could be the last we see if this guy. Man.....man AM no longer AM.

It would be super defiant if he did that!

I would have kept up with Cale if he put out coverage. Dude just fell off
-
Yeah I doubt he will end up anywhere else. Prob end up doing side projects for diamond like Joey suriel. You know, suckling from the corpo teet a little longer.
-
As much as I would like to see him am on life extension a move to plan b would really help plan b get back in with the childrens and Kelly get some stable backing.
Kind of surprised about exp1 tho both of them are really good at wasting potential and poor marketing.
-
I would have turned him pro instead of Kenny Hoyle, i think he's more marketable... I haven't seen anything from Kenny since that madness video... But I always hear something about Kelly....

You're joking, right? The last thing you heard from Kelly were those Berrics injury report things. Although Kenny hasn't been releasing too much either lately, I definitely think he's better than Kelly and deserved to go pro.

I don't know anyone that's ever paid for an expedition deck.
It's a mystery to everyone how they're still a company.
-
no matter what people say about Kelly, this Manolo edit of him always gets me psyched
Kelly Hart Mixtape (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFkxct_eaKQ#)

dude has more followers than anyone on expedition by far, seems like they would have turned him pro

Sounds like all your friends are kooks. And as for Kelly Hart, I completely forgot about him even being associated with Expedition, last actual part I remember from him was the one in the lrg video.

Yeah dude. The only difference being Cale is like 10x better than him.

The one thing i always think about Cale Nuske was him nollie heelflip crook/nosesliding rails. Kelly said his biggest rail he ever did was a 7 i think, and he nollie heel noseslid it. Cale was so good. Kelly has got style, but i think he doesn't skate to his full potential.
-

more followers = deserves to turn pro? someone should turn Kim Kardashian pro then.
no jab at hart, dude's had some bad luck w/ injuries over the years.
-
hell have him help rebuild mystery lol nah i dunno but really I think he just works for kayo now
-
Kele Rosecrantz and Kale Sandridge confirmed to be bumped up from flow, now fully on EXP1.
Wu-Welsh power moves!

not a mystery to me. i bought a rad joey pepper deck a few years back. I really liked it. solid wood never got that "soggy" feeling. it did snap a little early on but im pretty sure that was becasue i landed wrong on it. also spotted at least two at a spot last night.

Remember that time you reminisced about buying a Joey Pepper deck? That was cool.

Expedition was picking up pace here a few years ago.
Didn't like the direction they started going and haven't really paid attention :(
-
How many Expedition products do you think were bought with Kelly Hart in mind compared to anyone else on the team?
Who got the most attention on skate websites/youtube channels?
He should have been pro. We already know how good he is.
-
he should have left when they turned Kenny pro before him. His loyalty to expedition is a huge slap in the face, so fuck them and good for him for getting out
-
I think most pro-models are based on the demand of the skater, by consumers to have a pro-model.
He's good, but compared to some of the kids coming up nowadays?
He's like dry toast, I need butter or jam. Just never made me out of all the people on EXP 1, want to buy one of there boards

It was only a matter of time. Wish him the best in his future ventures.

spencer hamilton definitly has the best selling boards for them, kids love the monsanto illuminati themed stuff that he endorses

i agree that exp1 started to gain a lot of momentum a few years back, but i think they tried to do too much too quick by adding a bunch of ppl to the team. they must be paying a lot of dudes seems like they have too many pros

would be hype if kayo came out with another board company

But kids love skaters who's all over the berrics more. The illumnati themed stuff seems to be part of some big, but not so big demographic of liking "different" things. But yea, I'd put Matt Miller next to Kelly Hart for pushing product (not pro models) in general. There's seriously a #TurnKellyPro on instagram that kids put on their boards.
-
God damn, Cooner. Triple post.
-
I've always enjoyed Kelly's skating, and he's definitely loyal to sponsors and excels at using social media to promote himself, but Exp. was never going to turn him pro. I'm not sure anyone will at this point, although I could see him jumping on P-Rod's new brand or something. More than likely he'll just go full time at the Kayo store and be their most popular employee.
-
I'm not sure why everyone is so quick to assume he's done. Wait and see what happens.

That asshole's all worried about Monsanto but every picture I've seen of him not skating he's got a cigarette hanging out of his mouth and he looks wasted.
-
How long has he been hurt? i feel like all i hear is that he was hurt since the LRG video and wasn't that like 5 years ago?
-
Anyone noticed the "blue collar working class" image they have been trying to showcase lately? Kind of weird. I back Kayo, but the whole image seems a bit try hard to me.

That doesn't make Monsanto any less evil.
"Looks wasted?"

It was, more or less, 3 years ago, I believe. It was a pretty serious injury though. Sometimes, you never fully come back from an injury that involves surgery.

Spencer is just Canadian. That's how they look without the shag cut and RDS gear, all glassy eyed and shit

The same company that willingly turned Chris fucking Lambert pro, won't turn this dude pro. ???

Chris lambert was raw as fuck back in his day, not to say kelly isn't but anyways, they should've turned homeboy pro and even though it was past due I think he wasn't sweating it, unexpectedly got hurt, and got dropped on the recoup, exp1 needs to do something to help dude out though
Personally I think after his Kayo part dropped is when he should've gone pro, but that's just me

Hypocrisy is rampant with "opinionated" people. My favorite is people complaining about big corporations and banks as they use their smartphone to buy a trip to a tropical third world country with their chase account.

It goes the other way with pro-life, but pro- war/

The ad with this board with that fakie back 5-0 flip out was perfect. I think one of the frames even caught the board with the full graphic showing. It's a shame welsh never got fully on newport, he could have wonders for em.

Yea I thnk its over for him, dude is 30 and still am. Next company who sponsor him needs to turn him pro or his career is over imo. I do like his style tho, very easy on the eyes.

heard from a source that Kelly is going to P Rod's new company. I don't know how reliable that is, so don't quote me on it. Unless it ends up being true, then you heard it here first

While I think Exp 1 should have turned him pro ( whats the worse that could happen ? besides printing his boards he could have stayed at a AM pay or something ? or no pay and just Pro boards )
He still lived the dream for a really long time and still works in the skate industry while getting free products and skating
Most of us work full times jobs , pay for product and then try to skate ontop of all the social life stuff
He came out pretty good

Kelly is pro caliber but not for a company like Expedition. His skate career isn't the reason he still has work, he's just a cool bloke.
If he really put the work in we could see a Smolik like comeback part

Can you say which brand?
Most of my experince in is 3PL management so i doubt theres anything i could squeeze into that can pay me what i make. I did work in an office for almost 2 years where i did data processing that dealt with direct mailing and dove into some graphic design with indesign and illustrator. But most places require you have atleast 5 years experience in that with a portfolio of your work before you can even be considered to get a good paying position.

Yeah, but most of us have an education, get paid more or will be getting paid more, and don't have a ten-year gap in our CV. He's working in the skate industry, because that's the only industry that would actually offer him a job at this point. All things combined, he had a lot of bad luck. His future isn't exactly looking bright either.
When I was young I dreamt of being pro or working in the skate industry. Nowadays, these jobs don't really seem all that appealing anymore.

i have for a couple mainly internship/entry level things for graphic design, web, right out of college and its not all its cracked up to be depending on where your at. You got to remember that when you go in there you can't just do your own style of things your pretty much just following a guide thats already there they just need you to go along with it. Its no different than any other job. the politics was bullshit. Sometimes you have a guy who use to skate back in the day trying to tell you whats hot now. Realize that he hasn't touched a skateboard in like 20 years...or the person who worked their ass off only to be let go. I seen friends have awesome times at places they worked so like i said it depends on where you work

Can anyone here actually picture themselves actually making it as pro at this day an age? im almost glad it didnt work out for me. I would be devestated if i invested my whole life to skating from kid to adulthood and not get anything back in return then start from scratch in real life with teens who have more job experience than me.

I had a buddy who got pretty far was flow for a big american company then eventually Am for a Canadian only branch of a big company, gladly for him he was also smart enough to realize that going to school at the same time was the smart move. Also, I think when you skate that much or get that close you realize how talented the guys who make it truly are so you can accept it. Most people around here who were flow or on a Canadian only in there early 20's saw the skill of a young kid like TJ (been getting hyped around the city since he was 15) and realized how good you have to be to make it.

yeah he's a good skater- kelly hart has more of a following than rivas.. i see more footage from kelly hart as well.. even with out exp-1 he puts out shit with other companies (diamond, lrg and now es) the only company lenny rivas is really on is dgk and doesn't put out stuff through his other sponsors.

yeah kelly definitely has more of a following. the footage he puts out usually isnt that good, he has an awesome style tho.
i prefer kellys its official part to anything that lennys done, but lennys way better at skateboarding.
