RNS, watch. Usually I hate these threads, but it's my turn to be an awful human being.
-
Good fit if true, DGK is the lamest in the game.
-
would be such a bad time to switch. isnt there a dgk x es colab dropping soon?
-
As much as I love Wade on DGK, I also like the idea of Wade being paid to support his board sponsor, so I'll have to support this move.
-
It feels like that team is growing fast. Is Primitive really popular in southern California?
-
Is Primitive really popular in rural America?
-
The evolution of wades fits indicates this was happening for quite some time.

Unfortunately he fell victim to the curse of the Canadian ghetto gown at a young age. Very few successfully overcome this tragedy. He is damn good though.

I wondered why he never had a proper shoe sponsor until I heard on the nineclub (jack curtin episode) that when the whole rbk/dgk thing was dropped all the riders didn't get past flow for another 2-3 years after. curtin was the first one to get a legit sponsor (fallen) after stevie got on supra which was like 3 years after that reebok shit didn't work out.

It sounded like the DGK guys put all their eggs in one basket with Reebok, then Reebok bailed. I never really saw that venture succeeding. They went in too hard on the "DGK vibe." Also Reebok doesn't have nearly as many classic shoes to work with or the "cool" brand recognition as Nike or Adidas.

Reebok was crushing it up until then. NFL and NHL exclusinve license. S.Carter, G.Unit, AI, reebok classics were popular. They also had projects with lil wayne, and rick ross. Reebok was hot from like 2003-08 (Atleast in where i'm from). But Reebok was pushing a shoe with lupe fiasco, and pharrels ice cream brand. 3 fucking vanity brands targeting the same demographic. Ice cream was doing better that's why it lasted a lil longer but RBK started hurting all at the time. (source: I used to be a into hypebeast shit back then)
Jack was right, linking the RBK line to DGK was a bad move.
Mcbride is the only OG DGK dude left. Good for wade though

Reebok went ghetto at the exact wrong time and it backfired. Stevie wasn't the greatest ambassador to compete with Nike, so RBK pulled the plug. I know Stevie said RBKxDGK was going to continue with only him, but... the writing was on the wall.
Saying Reebok doesn't have the classic shoes is pretty short sighted. If New Balance can survive in skateboarding there's no reason RBK can't mount a comeback.
-
i don't dislike them but i've never associated reebok with serious athletic shoes.
good for wade, i was glad to start seeing him in clothes that didn't look like he trapped in some wegro hip hop fantasy. he does bring the goods.
-
I hope this is true, seems like Primitive is trying to get some roots going in Canadian skating since their tour last summer, which is sick because not many companies are trying to do that. Wade also represents his sponsors good and kills it daily so would be a great move for Primitive, his style has also changed in the past couple years for the better and Primitive is definitely a better fit. Just seen a clip of him on insta tho and he's skating a DGK, so I'm interested to know where this rumour came from.

There was a couple recent Bunt podcasts where Wade was in California skating and hanging with the Primitive team.

It came from a place close enough to the source That Leads Me to believe its going to happen.

Good for Wade assuming this is true. Unfortunately though, it's one more reason to be bummed there will probably never be a Primitive video.
-
so then there's what, 8-10 primitive pros?

I wish Reebok would come back to the NFL. Nike doesn't make a bad jersey at all, but none of my current Nike ones compete with my Reebok ones.

If he does move es will probably make the DGK X eS collab a Wade capsule like Huf did with Sammy Winter (crossing fingers).
But hell yeah, get Wade that money dude is way top good to starve for a mediocre company

Can't believe DGK isn't paying wade.
They obviously pay their top tier pros. Pretty sure they stopped paying dudes who didn't skate that much to make room for new dudes.
Dane Vaughn / Boo johnson / Wade D are for sure getting paid, maybe not as much as before but as much as any other company.
Otherwise ( At least for Boo J ) I would be really really surprised.

Didn't they stop paying TX? He was probably their biggest name pro outside of Stevie and Kalis, and he still was pumping out footage.
The big thing is, which board brands are actually paying well that you can even leave for at this point? Your board brand just legitimizes you for shoe companies and other high-paying sponsors. I'd be surprised if anyone except maybe a very select few of big name pros (Nyjah, P-Rod and Shane) are seeing much in the way of board royalties.

It's strange their isn't much of loyalty to KAYO with some of these dudes, i know the checks are probably kinda weak now but if they were paying Keelan 10 grand a month you at least a few of these dudes were getting really big checks for a few years. Unless you have a bad drug problem you shouldnt be blowing through that much money. but then again.

Then again, there's never "enough money", is there? I like my job a lot, but if I thought I could get more money for the same work elsewhere, I'd switch companies, wouldn't you? These guys got kids to fed (or in some cases, sexually exploit).

It also sort of falls on the employer on how they handled it. One thing to be upfront and tell someone you need to re-negotiate and that your having hard times. It is another to just not have checks not show up and lie about when they are going to arrive. In the first instance, I'd probably work something out. In the second, no way I would deal with that no matter how well they paid me in the prior years, they need that money to pay for rent and general living expenses. They can't tell their landlord that Expedition boards aren't selling anymore and hope he waits a couple months for back-rent on a check that probably doesn't come. From what all the expedition guys have said, it seems they were straight up lied to and misled.

Ahaha sorry can't give away any juicy details. I just know people who have had to deal with him and he acts like an unappreciative spoiled brat to the extent that he never fully gets on the team. You know how that old thing goes in Skateboarding. If someone's really good but can never hold down or get a legit sponsor, there's probably a reason for that. Look at how many shoe flow programs he's gone through.

wade is one of the best to ever do it, no doubt about it. met him at a demo and from the 15 minute talk i had with him he didn't come across as a diva or a pain in the ass. seemed really cool, granted that was a short and limited interaction. not sure i'm buying the shade.

On the Quasi site, it comes out to the same price as a shop, after shipping. What kid would wait up to a week, or possibly more, when s/he can get it from a local shop for the same price within a day? Plus, other brands don’t pay Facebook/Instagram to advertise cheesy commercials. I back seasonal mystery-boxes, but not the subscription shit.

Maybe because shops don’t carry every board and piece of apparel from a release. I’ve special ordered multiple boards from a brand when I know the shop is placing an order, but other than the manager remembering to tell me they are ordering I have no clue what’s going on. Also, even when I do place a special order it takes longer for the shop to get boards than for me to get them at home. And another thing, Quasi puts extras in all the orders I’ve made. So, no offense to the shops, why would I wait for someone else to decide what I have access to when I can order exactly what I want and get it right away?
Don’t get me wrong, I support my local shop despite the convenience of ordering direct. But don’t be shocked when people don’t. And I know plenty of people who don’t. Fuck those guys.

Can't believe DGK isn't paying wade.
They obviously pay their top tier pros. Pretty sure they stopped paying dudes who didn't skate that much to make room for new dudes.
Dane Vaughn / Boo johnson / Wade D are for sure getting paid, maybe not as much as before but as much as any other company.
Otherwise ( At least for Boo J ) I would be really really surprised.
The big thing is, which board brands are actually paying well that you can even leave for at this point? Your board brand just legitimizes you for shoe companies and other high-paying sponsors. I'd be surprised if anyone except maybe a very select few of big name pros (Nyjah, P-Rod and Shane) are seeing much in the way of board royalties.
TX got a 20 thousand dollar check just before throwing his board in the trash.
Out of the kindness of their hearts or did they owe him $20k? I don't thank my employer for paying me.
THEY OWE

I don't think he skates fast enough to be on Primitive, and that's one of the slowest teams in the game.

you gotta be going pretty fast to kickflip a table longways

Wade Speyer is a legend and deserves all the support in the world. Best frontside nosebone tailbashes in the game. Cue the Slayer. Great move, P-Rod!

I dont think he fits Primitive, but I would be down for it, because Primitive puts out 23487234234 min of footage per month.
