Palace showing no respect
-
Shots fired. I respect their honesty.
-
Do Palace care? Probably not.
Rate both Palace and Suciu, and maybe the phrasing was a bit off but Palace do have a point. Habitat is sick but nowhere near as good as it used to be.
-
i have a pretty good feeling palace will not be able to sustain their recent success.
-
I'm a kook, but I ride with Suciu on this one.
-
Palace isn't wrong. I like Mark Suciu, but you'd have to be living in a bubble to think Habitat is at the top of their game.
-
Palace is pretty edgy.
-
It's a palace ad? who wrote the caption? This is weird.
-
Who wants to start a brand with me called Pretentious Skateboards?
-
talkshit for free gives them a bad look
-

what? you're not serious
-
I don't get it? What does the caption say? The photo is too small to read the print
-
its still a decent team but their boards are starting to look like whole foods packaging. someone needs to stage an intervention for joe castrucci.
-
Suciu's cardigan game isn't what it should be....dude is hella smart....
-

In Japan
It looks like
He's riding a
Workshop board
Remember how
Good Alien was
It's fully dogshit now
and Habitat
Would rather skate
a Termite board
Just strained the shit out of my eyes but it's doable
-
Yeah I don't get it either. Why a company of Palace's trendy popularity would devote any ad space to shit talk Alien or Habitat. Seems odd but it doesn't have any real impact. I'll continue to buy Habitat boards.
-
Why would palace be so mean to Mr suciu and two legendary brands? I don't get it:( yaje and Bobbydd need respek on their name. I'd rather skate termite boards than palace price point dwindle.
-
House music blows and Palace is cringy at best most of the time. I’d give them an expiration date of 2020 or so.

agree.
taking cheap shots at others to try and deflect from the fact that are boring as fuck.
not even vaguely original with anything they do.

habitat is a sick team these days... suciu,bobby,dela,silas,marius,flo..
new aws is sick too, I really like all of their guys.
only thing I don't back is the habitat collabs that are kinda kooky..
The Bob's Burgers collab wasn't great but christ, have you seen the Palace/Ralph Lauren blue velvet formal slippers? https://www.instagram.com/p/BpzVEQWFz8d/

Ahaha, guys are hating but using fucking Chinese wood for their boards
-
Suciu's cardigan game isn't what it should be....dude is hella smart....
-
palace boards are very bad to skate, heavy and hollow feeling
I had an AWS board about two years ago and it skated very well
-
i don't even know what palace is

Palace taking jabs at Habitat shows insecurity. The two companies are not even in the same realm. Goes to show that the palace corp is wack.
I'm with Suciu

lev writes all the comments. he's been making comments like this for years. even taken a jab a at slap for worshipping gino.
palace ain't hurting, they have two more stores planned to open next year, one in los angeles. habitat is not even remotely close to what they were. still got a decent team, but yeah...

palace isn't hurting right now, but it all happens in cycles, just a few years ago alien, habitat and crail seemed untouchable. now... fragile
palace is just a hard goods brand that could be replaced by the next batch of "cool guys" in the blink of an eye.
Point being palace is creating an unattainable image that will likely grow very sour from actual skateboarders, which n turn will hurt the brands core appeal and hurt their sales from their main demographic, non skateboarders.
-
Is it pronounced pal-iss or pal-ah-che?
-
Funny how much flack Palace is getting for stating what we all know is true. Yeah, AWS and Habitat have some decent guys on the team...but in terms of graphics, video output, a distinct vision for either brand...come on now. Same downward trajectory as Girl and Chocolate...though I'd place my money on Crail pulling through.
Also Slap routinely shits on people and brands for no good reason. Without merciless shit talking, Slap would be toast. Palace taking a light jab at two established brands that almost died, were bought by a snowboard co, almost died again, and are now in purgatory is not the end of the world.
Also gotta add to the whack Palace analysis: The company has been around for what, 10 years now? They've gone through various phases, all of which are subsequently ripped by tons of other brands. The guys behind the brand have some idea what they're doing, and will likely switch things up again before things get stale. Or keep selling t-shirts and paying their riders and employees. Assholes! Every company should be like Foundation--requesting life-threatening stunts for a few boards a month. Keep it core boys.

Palace started out cool but now they're faking that VHS funk while dropping Ralph Lauren skateboards and loafers while hating on OG skate brands. They turned into some rapper celebrity tennis bullshit. I don't even see a place to buy skate decks on their website. Habitat all day over that mess

Ahaha, guys are hating but using fucking Chinese wood for their boards
I actually love everything Palace is doing but i wont skate a Palace board. As a "premium" brand its a shame they use DSM wood.
Same reason i never supported Girl and Chocolate in the last decade. theres no excuse to using shitty wood, the quality of your products should come before everything else if youre a skateboard company.

Fuck off. Pick a hill, and die on it, sheesh.

is there a particular reason palace is taking a shot at habitat? seems lame to talk unprovoked shit if its just random.

I don't get how doing a collab Polo is considered cool.

I like the "fire a shot then see the reaction to the fired shot". It could break your way or it could call out your goofy slippers.
-
After looking at the palace website and seeing polo boards and high end boutique shops I can definitely see why us older posters would side with habitat and AWS here.
-
the only remotely skate-related thing I remember about palace is prawn powers breaking a lobster tank and that’s not even a skate clip. this company is trendy, hypebeast cat shit for the IG workout freaks and normies.
-
^Have you considered paying attention to contemporary skateboarding? They released a great full-length last year (for free, mind you), they've pumped money into the Long Live Southbank campaign, they opened up an indoor skatepark to support the London scene over the past winter, they've milked their status in the fashion industry with great tongue-in-cheek ads, and they make sure rad skaters like Danny Brady, Jamal Smith, and Lucien Clarke (among others) get paid.
But no, how dare they say what everyone is thinking about Habitat.

Pronounced Pal-Ass. They hatin in plain sight.

Palace strikes me as inevitably going down the Zoo York route. Fashion over skating

That happened to Zoo York because they were sold to a larger corporation. Afaik Palace still exists on its own, and I'm not seeing Palace shirts in every JCP or Kohl's

I just don't see what the point of a company firing shots at companies that are shells of their former self.
palace is one colab away from being an after thought.

Someone on the sidewalk forum posted up Palace's accounts for last year - they paid £4.2m in dividends. Lev is ballin'.

Ted's IG story pushing Palace purchases at Labor. Sounds like direct NYC beef with Suciu.

I like Palace and I'm a fan of companies talking shit, but it's hella ironic to say you'd rather ride a termite than habitat, when your brand comes out of the same factory in China as Blind & Darkstar... that's laughable.
Talk shit on their graphics, collabs, aws team, but when you're Dwindle made you lose the right to talk shit on other people's wood hahaha.

Lots of valid points indeed, except for the last one. Not everyone thinks Habitat sucks (this thread being the proof). They might not be the hype right now but still a very good company imo.

The alternative to core doesn't have to be total dogshit packaged as "high end fashion".

meh, when whoever wrote that gets the phone call from the adidas executives, my guess is they'll be peeing on themselves and sending the screen cap to their corporate overlords. Half of palace rides for Adidas or some shit and this dude decides to throw some random shade at one of adidas' signature shoe pros?
That's a lose-lose situation, but what do I know . . . you do you Palace!

I like bears (large-bodied, hairy homosexual men) and I like skateboarding, so I back this sweater.
However, those slippers are terribly homophobic.

Bad look for Palace. Unforced error with no upside and they deserve whatever shit they get for it. Suciu +1

I don't get how doing a collab Polo is considered cool.
That same collab that sold out in a couple seconds. You are probably the one who’s out of touch here.
Who thinks that Palace will be hurting anytime soon must be living a shell. They just opened a new Tokyo Shop that looks insane, and their hype was boosted a lot by the POLO collab.
Their best move was to not rely only on skateboarding and cash in with all the hype stuff, and they’ve been milking it really well.
As I said once in here, Palace is the Robbin Wood of skateboarding, selling stuff to rich kids to then give back to skateboarding (well, they also get mad rich along the way).
Alien and habitat tho, what was the last relevant thing they did? They used to be my favourite brands, I spent my whole high school years in a Habitat hoodie, I watched Mindfield a trillion times, but damn, right now I’m more excited about Foundation than those two combined. It’s sad but Palace just stated the facts here...

Those slippers look like a treat to slip in to after a hard day skating in my HRS mafioso-in-witness-protection loafers.

Slippers are sick. Chad palace vs. virgin habitat.

Suciu rules and so do many other aws/habitat riders and the palace boys can't touch their level. Not to mention their wood sucks and so do their shapes. Sovereign sect for life bitches.

I pay enough attention to contemporary skating. Companies like this view their “contributions” to skating as investments that will pay off later. They don’t do it for altruistic reasons. Do all companies do this? Yes. But Palace’s aesthetic is wack and so is their presence in skateboarding. They are a trendy boutique store not unlike Supreme that manufactures scarcity and hype and sucks high fashion’s dick a little too hard. They got their fingers in every pie and sponsor “image” skaters like prawn powers so it’s hard to take them seriously. Basically they’re watered down and phony.

If you paid enough attention to skateboarding, than you'd know that Palace released one of like, three videos worth watching last year, so you clearly don't know what's going on. A refresher: Palace started by a skateboarder, the brand is still run by the same skateboarder, they employ skateboarders, they pay talented skateboarders (unless you consider Lucas Puig an "image" skateboarder?), and they give back to skateboarding, in every way I just described. It's really that simple.

so a company that actually puts out skate footage and is actively involved in preserving and cultivating their local scene is watered down and phony because they actually happen to be savvy enough to cash in on their aesthetic?
meanwhile you’re arguing in favor of a company that hasn’t released a full length in recent memory or even posted anything worth noting on their youtube channel in the past year other than a couple raw footage videos of suciu and bob dk.
what even is skateboarding these days?

Yea I'm sure Lucas Puig and Chewy Cannon are phony. Jesus Christ get your head out of your ass. If anything Supreme is worse off as a brand than Palace. They sell their shit to actual skate shops and literally opened up a free indoor park, whereas Supreme only exists within their stores and really haven't done jack shit to give back to the skate community in LA or NYC. You just sound like an old curmudgeon who hates Palace because it's new(er) and trendy, fuck outta here.

All of the pro-palace arguments could replace "nike" with "palace" to justify nike's rightful place in skateboarding.
Debatebly better videos from Palace though, and nike's not skater owned.

I was considering this too as I was writing. I think Palace being skater owned definitely makes the difference.

that was quite a few heated responses. I don’t like palace. that’s all. if I were an old curmudgeon I would be riding anti-hero’s dick but I criticize them and all the old guys like 10/10 who refuse to change. I like polar and northern co. and theories and state and other smaller skate brands so I really don’t think being close minded or old is the issue. btw I wasn’t backing supreme - I was lumping them and palace together. they both have some good riders whose skating is good but so does numbers. I’m not into the brands that are too chummy with nike, addidas, polo, etc. shit’s wack. just my opinion.

All of the pro-palace arguments could replace "nike" with "palace" to justify nike's rightful place in skateboarding.
Debatebly better videos from Palace though, and nike's not skater owned.
Except Palace isn't Nike? Not sure what your point is here. Palace pays their employees, has put out top tier videos for close to a decade for free, opened an indoor skatepark...so, in sum, they've done as much if not more than any other brand, skater owned or not.
Also people clowning on Palace for the excessive gear...

Ted's IG story pushing Palace purchases at Labor. Sounds like direct NYC beef with Suciu.
I don't think he would mention that they are dwindle wood without it being in jest against Palace...
I was kidding. I just really wanted to get to a Gangs of New York joke.
Kinda off topic but this summer I handled those street fight props and holy shit they're basically real. Normally all that stuff is just foam cast to look like wood and metal but I guess that wasn't real enough for Marty. The blades were dull but they were still heavy as fuck. I'm still trying to come up on one of the axes if I can.

that was quite a few heated responses. I don’t like palace. that’s all. if I were an old curmudgeon I would be riding anti-hero’s dick but I criticize them and all the old guys like 10/10 who refuse to change. I like polar and northern co. and theories and state and other smaller skate brands so I really don’t think being close minded or old is the issue. btw I wasn’t backing supreme - I was lumping them and palace together. they both have some good riders whose skating is good but so does numbers. I’m not into the brands that are too chummy with nike, addidas, polo, etc. shit’s wack. just my opinion.
Without Meaning to be a pedant, you say you back Polar but hate brands that are chummy with Nike etc. Nearly their whole team rides Nike and they did a collab shoe with Cons so your argument makes no sense.
As for people hating Palace for getting big, tbh most of it has been an accident that they're just rolling with, it's not some great masterplan. They got good money from doing the Adidas and Umbro collabs and got some fashion attention from and used it to grow the brand. As for the fashion thing being a problem, you have to realise that that's just who Lev and a lot of their mates are, East London is a melting pot where everyone knows each other and stuff like fashion just rubs off, doesn't make them any less of a skater just cos you think they're too trendy, same for the Supreme team.
It's a bunch of mates who started a tiny board company that's gone on to do collabs with Adidas, Reebok, Umbro, Polo etc, got their gear on the women's Wimbledon winner, main billboards in Tokyo all whilst giving loads of coin to Southank, building Mwadlands and sorting all their riders out big time. Also, they still sell product to skate shops rather than being direct to customer which they could easily do. If you can't back that cos it's not "core" then you can keep on waiting for skating to die again so it's like it was back in your days.
As for Palace dying a death in the next coupe of years, I think Supreme has shown that skate/fashion brands can have longevity and that there's not really a limit to how big they'll get. Personally I don't see Palace as anywhere near as hype as Supreme which is probably good for the brand, if they're lucky they can find a space in the market similar to Stussy where they start out super hype but can stay at a level afterwards where they're never the coolest thing on the market but are always seen as decent, Stussy were doing incredible volume of product in Britain a couple of years ago but always managed not to get so blown out that they weren't cool anymore.
Personally they're not my favourite brand but what they do is sick for skating when they could easily just cash in totally and not give a fuck.

I’m with Suciu.
don't believe you. post a selfie.

Gotta side with Suicune on this one. To take shots at other brands for no reason is lame af. We all are aware that Habitat/AWS will never be what they were. Their teams are full of pretty solid dudes, but they'll never be as big as they were BUT pointing that out how Palace did was wack.
Palace won't be as hip as they are now for long. Look at Supra, worn by every rapper, fashionista, hypebeast for like 4 years and now you honestly forget they exist. Same will go for Palace. I hope this doesn't make things awkward for the riders of the teams if they see each other out.

Habitat still has a really sick team, and I would be ecstatic if they put out another full length. But, the brand isn't what it once was. Habitat used to feel like a tight knit crew with a couple additions from around. The core of the team felt like Freddie, Getz, Tim, and Wenning, plus other NYC/Philly dudes in Puhlowski and Steve Durante. The team has obviously dramatically shifted over time.
Palace is killing it right now. They still have a fairly tight knit crew of London guys who shape the identity of the brand in Lucien, Chewy, Benny, Olly Todd, and Rory. I thought Palasonic was one of the better full lengths of the past 5 years or so, and their edits are generally amazing.

Ya current habitat and powell are so similar..
Imagine if habitat had a random ass ad of let's say marius and it had some dumb caption at the bottom saying "marius looks like he's skating a palace board, remember when they were sick, now they just have awful boards and get praise for being skater owned yet do completely unrelatable and corny collabs that are targeted to the worst possible humans"

From that ad it looks like Blind dropped an ad after Powell (a company I'm assuming was doing pretty decently around this time). So Powell is the Palace of this situation and Blind is Habitat.
I don't get your point because Habitat didn't say anything to warrant Palace dissing them. If Habitat comes out and says something back then this makes sense but rn Palace is just being douchy.

Lil Wayne skates and apparently has money to throw around. Some kids get a skatepark they wouldn't otherwise. Sounds fine to me. I understand your point here, but really...Palace making indulgent gear to entertain themselves and make some bank (assuming they do make bank off all that) is different than Habitat being forced to make long boards or whack "collabs." Habitat isn't dead...but ooof...we're a ways from Mosaic.

I support Polar, the board company, not the shoe company that sponsors a lot of its riders. That's two different things.
So, let's see, I don't like this overhyped brand that you like so I must be a "core" kook who wants skateboarding to be underground again. Haven't heard that one before. Most of your argument relies on projection and straw manning. So, does that mean you're a conformist normie who only feels secure liking things that have majority approval? If I'm an old crank are you one of the bandwagon jumpers who hopped on once you saw everyone else doing it? Shit, I kinda like this way of thinking. It requires very little thought and reinforces my worldview. Or, maybe Palace is not my cup of tea? Just 'cause it had humble beginnings doesn't mean it's not pumping out crap now.

I surprised by the very loyal and heated posters defending how "cool" Palace is.
The point on how their products sell out made me cringe almost as much as their polo collabs do.

People here complain about skating not being like it used to be and then when someone takes jabs like Palace did here people get pissed about it.. Grow a pair it's all fun and games tho.. You still remember the world days or even crailtap used to do that..
I like both companies. Habitat started to suck as a brand about ten years ago. Palace is killing it now I'm sure in ten years Palace will be very diffrent too. It's just how life works..

I don't get how doing a collab Polo is considered cool.
That same collab that sold out in a couple seconds. You are probably the one who’s out of touch here.
Who thinks that Palace will be hurting anytime soon must be living a shell. They just opened a new Tokyo Shop that looks insane, and their hype was boosted a lot by the POLO collab.
Their best move was to not rely only on skateboarding and cash in with all the hype stuff, and they’ve been milking it really well.
As I said once in here, Palace is the Robbin Wood of skateboarding, selling stuff to rich kids to then give back to skateboarding (well, they also get mad rich along the way).
Alien and habitat tho, what was the last relevant thing they did? They used to be my favourite brands, I spent my whole high school years in a Habitat hoodie, I watched Mindfield a trillion times, but damn, right now I’m more excited about Foundation than those two combined. It’s sad but Palace just stated the facts here...
You idiot, doing a collab with Polo is a no-brainer, whether you like it or not.
Selling out its just the proof that it worked.

Lol no. Lev used to be team manager for Adidas, I think he'll be ok.
It's actually some pretty amazing publicity for Habitat and indirect publicity for Adidas in disguise when you think about it, just watch how much this is blowing up. Suciu himself might benefit from it, it looks like a win-win situation to me really, no real beef.
I back Palace for being a skater-owned company and giving back to skating more than most other brands do (because they're able to), fuck me if they're successful. Hi-jacking the fashion world or really any foreign, popular commercial establishment to ensure a chunk of their money ends up benefitting skateboarders is the best thing a skater-owned company can do business-wise it seems. The rest of the world only wishes they did what we do, so when big groups are showing interest in what they perceive to be 'cool' skateboarding, it's fair game to play by the rules of consumerism for a bit just to fuck them over once they realize people really never fall for it, and the collab they just did will never actually make them that cool and mostly benefit the other company.
A lot of Palace's shtick isn't my demographic (the dweebs in that article have never made being out of touch look so cool) but it's well done, their roster is sick, they make great videos, save and build skate spots all the while honoring their local scene and, well, my stance has been covered here and there by other posters already. I'm stoked they're doing good, it's a skater-owned company so why shouldn't I? They're just taking the money where it currently is. Hell, even as far as I'm concerned, here I am saying I 'back' Palace but in reality they never saw a dime from me; thousands of sheep are willing to support them for me, when they open free skateparks and keep providing us with great content. It's an elaborate joke of sorts, kind of like the Sex Pistols in their time except here our guys actually are talented.
I remember on the Battle of Normandy contest thing they did together circa 2010, 2011, Magenta just kept fucking with Palace the whole time. Just coming up to the Palace guys and straight up going "so, you guys think you're better than us?". Apparently it lasted the whole week and the Palace guys weren't having it: "what? no mate, we're in this together; no, we're not looking for trouble like that mate". Completely went over their heads, I wasn't there on the trip myself but so I was told. Then they ran a Magenta ad with that "so you guys think you're better than us?" line. I remember that cracked me up, and now Palace is doing the same type of joke to other companies, I think it's rad. Habitat is what it is but you know - actualize yourself or die while your longtime followers repeatedly kick you in the ass. In skateboarding that type of jab isn't disrespectful; it demonstrates recognition, if anything.

So any collab is cool as long as it brings money? That is a very strange view IMO. IMO both of those collabs are wack as fuck.

They represent things that I don’t want to be associated with at all and even less want to be associated with skateboarding.
Throwing shade at another company for no reason? I don’t see how that’s funny, cool or needed in any way. Bunch of cocky UK chav culture which I’ve always found to be terrible.

Talking about 'the culture', thanks to such collabs they do things along the likes of saving South Bank and building free skateparks in London where it rains like half the year. If it weren't for them, those locations might as well be glorified Starbucks right now and hundreds of local skateboarders would be struggling right now. Their collabs make them so powerful they go as far as getting to influence local politics, now in their position I'm really curious (and down to shoot the shit), what would you do?
Agree with all this, what Magenta did sounds annoying though.

Regardless of this whole discussion, Polo slippers are fucking lame, and I'm sure most skaters think the same. Palace didn't do this collab for skaters, that's obvious. So whether they sold out in two seconds or not means absolutely nothing.

I understand your point here, but really...Palace making indulgent gear to entertain themselves and make some bank (assuming they do make bank off all that) is different than Habitat being forced to make long boards or whack "collabs." Habitat isn't dead...but ooof...we're a ways from Mosaic.
Ah fair enough. Lot of wackness to go around.

I don't get how doing a collab Polo is considered cool.
That same collab that sold out in a couple seconds. You are probably the one who’s out of touch here.
Who thinks that Palace will be hurting anytime soon must be living a shell. They just opened a new Tokyo Shop that looks insane, and their hype was boosted a lot by the POLO collab.
Their best move was to not rely only on skateboarding and cash in with all the hype stuff, and they’ve been milking it really well.
As I said once in here, Palace is the Robbin Wood of skateboarding, selling stuff to rich kids to then give back to skateboarding (well, they also get mad rich along the way).
Alien and habitat tho, what was the last relevant thing they did? They used to be my favourite brands, I spent my whole high school years in a Habitat hoodie, I watched Mindfield a trillion times, but damn, right now I’m more excited about Foundation than those two combined. It’s sad but Palace just stated the facts here...
You idiot, doing a collab with Polo is a no-brainer, whether you like it or not.
Selling out its just the proof that it worked.
Slap:
Habitat does a bob's burger collab: iT's nOt tHaT bAd, i LiKe tHe sHoW!
Palace does a Polo Collab: i dOnT gEt wHy iTs cOoL.
You guys are just mad because they called out your holy cows, and you all just entered full denial mode.
I understand that selling shit to fuckboys has always been the backbone of skateboarding. The people paying $30 for thrasher t-shirts allow them to give Evan Smith 20,000 for that 540 over a car. That's how etnies and DC built parks too.
To me this PalaceXPolo collab is on the same tier as Tony Hawk RC cars, CKY trucks, Diamond x Adventure time, Lakai hello kitty shoes, Dragonball Z decks, Nike SB x NBA and supreme pinball machines. Some that shit I liked.
I have Santa Cruz star wars decks on the walls in my house.
Polo is as relevant to skateboarding as bob's burgers is, which is to say that it isn't. It's fine to like the Palace Polo collab but it's no better or worse than anything else. Would wear the polo bear sweater if it wasn't too expensive
-

I would actually skate a jahmal deck if it wasn’t bullshit china wood

Habitat could be back in the game right quick with one video. 2-3 minutes each from Suciu, Silas, Dela, and Marius (and dare I dream a few tricks from Freddy) and we will forgive them their leafy longboards and lack of recent cohesiveness.
I'm still backing Suciu flipping to Alien and giving that team a chance, though.
I truly don't care about Palace's fashion collabs and look book bullshit. I understand that selling a couple of Polo sweaters makes more money than a years worth of hardgoods. As long as they keep cranking out skateboarding videos they are all right.

Talking about 'the culture', thanks to such collabs they do things along the likes of saving South Bank and building free skateparks in London where it rains like half the year. If it weren't for them, those locations might as well be glorified Starbucks right now and hundreds of local skateboarders would be struggling right now. Their collabs make them so powerful they go as far as getting to influence local politics, now in their position I'm really curious (and down to shoot the shit), what would you do?
That is a very good question and one to which I don't have very thought out answer to. I mean I get that they can do good stuff for skateboarding with the money they make from those lame streetwear people. But is it worth it in the end? I don't know. For me, I'd say no. Staying true to yourself is very important to me. What that is varies a lot between people and who am I to say other people are wrong in doing something I wouldn't?
Would I do something immoral or against my views to get money to use for something I deem to be a good purpose. I hope not. But then again I do have a job and sometimes do things I'm not 100% stoked on there. So it is a grey area for sure. At what point have we crossed the line and are doing something "too wrong" just for money? That also varies a lot between people. I just think Palace is lame with their bullshit products and image and targeting trendy fashion streetwear people or what ever those people are and it has nothing to do with skateboarding and isn't the kind of culture I want associated with skateboarding. IMO it's a lot different compared for example to when skate shoes were popular among non skaters. I don't think the companies tried to pander to the non skaters to use that money towards skateboarding, at least as much as what Palace is doing.
Fuck, this is just an incoherent ramble cuz I haven't got a straight answer/opinion on this and I've been interrupted too many times when typing this. What I wanted to say is that what Palace is selling and what kind of an image they are pushing is not what I want associated with skateboarding and even though they are giving back to skateboarding with the money they make from non skaters I don't think it's ultimately worth it. Yet they are free to do as they wish. I'm just not gonna buy their stuff.

that was quite a few heated responses. I don’t like palace. that’s all. if I were an old curmudgeon I would be riding anti-hero’s dick but I criticize them and all the old guys like 10/10 who refuse to change. I like polar and northern co. and theories and state and other smaller skate brands so I really don’t think being close minded or old is the issue. btw I wasn’t backing supreme - I was lumping them and palace together. they both have some good riders whose skating is good but so does numbers. I’m not into the brands that are too chummy with nike, addidas, polo, etc. shit’s wack. just my opinion.
Without Meaning to be a pedant, you say you back Polar but hate brands that are chummy with Nike etc. Nearly their whole team rides Nike and they did a collab shoe with Cons so your argument makes no sense.
As for people hating Palace for getting big, tbh most of it has been an accident that they're just rolling with, it's not some great masterplan. They got good money from doing the Adidas and Umbro collabs and got some fashion attention from and used it to grow the brand. As for the fashion thing being a problem, you have to realise that that's just who Lev and a lot of their mates are, East London is a melting pot where everyone knows each other and stuff like fashion just rubs off, doesn't make them any less of a skater just cos you think they're too trendy, same for the Supreme team.
It's a bunch of mates who started a tiny board company that's gone on to do collabs with Adidas, Reebok, Umbro, Polo etc, got their gear on the women's Wimbledon winner, main billboards in Tokyo all whilst giving loads of coin to Southank, building Mwadlands and sorting all their riders out big time. Also, they still sell product to skate shops rather than being direct to customer which they could easily do. If you can't back that cos it's not "core" then you can keep on waiting for skating to die again so it's like it was back in your days.
As for Palace dying a death in the next coupe of years, I think Supreme has shown that skate/fashion brands can have longevity and that there's not really a limit to how big they'll get. Personally I don't see Palace as anywhere near as hype as Supreme which is probably good for the brand, if they're lucky they can find a space in the market similar to Stussy where they start out super hype but can stay at a level afterwards where they're never the coolest thing on the market but are always seen as decent, Stussy were doing incredible volume of product in Britain a couple of years ago but always managed not to get so blown out that they weren't cool anymore.
Personally they're not my favourite brand but what they do is sick for skating when they could easily just cash in totally and not give a fuck.
I support Polar, the board company, not the shoe company that sponsors a lot of its riders. That's two different things.
So, let's see, I don't like this overhyped brand that you like so I must be a "core" kook who wants skateboarding to be underground again. Haven't heard that one before. Most of your argument relies on projection and straw manning. So, does that mean you're a conformist normie who only feels secure liking things that have majority approval? If I'm an old crank are you one of the bandwagon jumpers who hopped on once you saw everyone else doing it? Shit, I kinda like this way of thinking. It requires very little thought and reinforces my worldview. Or, maybe Palace is not my cup of tea? Just 'cause it had humble beginnings doesn't mean it's not pumping out crap now.
You know right that Polar was started with aprox 75k of Nike money?

Well, with this answer I guess you actually understand why the collab was cool, at least to someone (skaters inclueded).
I appreciate what you wrote tho, because I agree with most part of it.
I think all those collabs and products are part of the fun.
Even if they have nothing to relate with skateboarding they resonate with skaters from a non skater point of view, because there are skaters that also liked Dragonball, others that love NBA, like a regular joe. Because yeah, guess what, you are allowed to like other stuff out of skateboarding, and there's no problem when that crossover between worlds happens.

Yet they are free to do as they wish. I'm just not gonna buy their stuff.
I don't think you're rambling, I think I totally get what you're trying to say fundamentally because I'm not really the demographic for Palace's whole shtick image-wise either, throughout the past twenty years I've seen enough immaturity in skateboarding (from Big Brother, which was sick, to the Piss Drunk thing, which sucked) to put me off that kind of vibe as my go to. I'm not going to buy their stuff either (it doesn't look like my money would make a difference anyway). But damn, not trying to put words in your mouth but the part I put in bold feels like you're basically saying you wish Southbank were a bunch of Starbucks and London didn't have a skatepark for all the locals to enjoy on the sole basis that the guys who saved the spot also happen to be successful in the fashion scene? When London is where Palace is run, so I'm pretty sure that qualifies as staying true to yourself as opposed to (random inconsiderate example) Vans running Pro Series or Downtown Showdowns? (Which Palace was invited on in Amsterdam by the way, the ramp they designed was a giant ashtray). Pretty sure the guys are just having a fucking good time enjoying their position literally hi-jacking the superficial streetwear scene, I mean the whole idea just sounds like a skateboarder's dream come true, just giving the finger to the giants and stealing their loot to build fucking ramps for fellow rats to skate. All shticks aside, how more real does one get than this?
What do you think about all the other indie brands who were equally funded with Adidas or Nike money (and there are more than you think)? I don't know if you skate those but if yes, does it bother you when you buy one that you're supporting a company who's essentially doing the same thing Palace is doing with their collabs, taking money from the big groups, just not officially? Because if that's evil to you, by purchasing those products you're fueling it just the same. But then what are the other alternatives really? Big established brands that have been around for so long they don't know how to reboot themselves and don't do shit for your local scene? What other "image" is left for you to wish skateboarding could be popularly associated with? Thrasher? (My stance is to learn to stop giving a shit how skateboarding is portrayed in the mainstream and just do it).
I don't mean my tone to sound like I'm confronting you, again I like the discussion so sorry in advance if this post feels pretty intense, that's just how I am. I'm actually intrigued by your logic on the matter, but you don't have to reply anymore if that's annoying.
Also if you've ever bought at least one Traffic board or skate any other indie board brands that actually are grassroots, you're welcome to just disregard everything I just said.

Talking about 'the culture', thanks to such collabs they do things along the likes of saving South Bank and building free skateparks in London where it rains like half the year. If it weren't for them, those locations might as well be glorified Starbucks right now and hundreds of local skateboarders would be struggling right now. Their collabs make them so powerful they go as far as getting to influence local politics, now in their position I'm really curious (and down to shoot the shit), what would you do?
That is a very good question and one to which I don't have very thought out answer to. I mean I get that they can do good stuff for skateboarding with the money they make from those lame streetwear people. But is it worth it in the end? I don't know. For me, I'd say no. Staying true to yourself is very important to me. What that is varies a lot between people and who am I to say other people are wrong in doing something I wouldn't?
Would I do something immoral or against my views to get money to use for something I deem to be a good purpose. I hope not. But then again I do have a job and sometimes do things I'm not 100% stoked on there. So it is a grey area for sure. At what point have we crossed the line and are doing something "too wrong" just for money? That also varies a lot between people. I just think Palace is lame with their bullshit products and image and targeting trendy fashion streetwear people or what ever those people are and it has nothing to do with skateboarding and isn't the kind of culture I want associated with skateboarding. IMO it's a lot different compared for example to when skate shoes were popular among non skaters. I don't think the companies tried to pander to the non skaters to use that money towards skateboarding, at least as much as what Palace is doing.
Fuck, this is just an incoherent ramble cuz I haven't got a straight answer/opinion on this and I've been interrupted too many times when typing this. What I wanted to say is that what Palace is selling and what kind of an image they are pushing is not what I want associated with skateboarding and even though they are giving back to skateboarding with the money they make from non skaters I don't think it's ultimately worth it. Yet they are free to do as they wish. I'm just not gonna buy their stuff.
I don't think you're rambling, I think I totally get what you're trying to say fundamentally because I'm not really the demographic for Palace's whole shtick image-wise either, throughout the past twenty years I've seen enough immaturity in skateboarding (from Big Brother, which was sick, to the Piss Drunk thing, which sucked) to put me off that kind of vibe as my go to. I'm not going to buy their stuff either (it doesn't look like my money would make a difference anyway). But damn, not trying to put words in your mouth but the part I put in bold feels like you're basically saying you wish Southbank were a bunch of Starbucks and London didn't have a skatepark for all the locals to enjoy on the sole basis that the guys who saved the spot also happen to be successful in the fashion scene? When London is where Palace is run, so I'm pretty sure that qualifies as staying true to yourself as opposed to (random inconsiderate example) Vans running Pro Series or Downtown Showdowns? (Which Palace was invited on in Amsterdam by the way, the ramp they designed was a giant ashtray). Pretty sure the guys are just having a fucking good time enjoying their position literally hi-jacking the superficial streetwear scene, I mean the whole idea just sounds like a skateboarder's dream come true, just giving the finger to the giants and stealing their loot to build fucking ramps for fellow rats to skate. All shticks aside, how more real does one get than this?
What do you think about all the other indie brands who were equally funded with Adidas or Nike money (and there are more than you think)? I don't know if you skate those but if yes, does it bother you when you buy one that you're supporting a company who's essentially doing the same thing Palace is doing with their collabs, taking money from the big groups, just not officially? Because if that's evil to you, by purchasing those products you're fueling it just the same. But then what are the other alternatives really? Big established brands that have been around for so long they don't know how to reboot themselves and don't do shit for your local scene? What other "image" is left for you to wish skateboarding could be popularly associated with? Thrasher? (My stance is to learn to stop giving a shit how skateboarding is portrayed in the mainstream and just do it).
I don't mean my tone to sound like I'm confronting you, again I like the discussion so sorry in advance if this post feels pretty intense, that's just how I am. I'm actually intrigued by your logic on the matter, but you don't have to reply anymore if that's annoying.
Also if you've ever bought at least one Traffic board or skate any other indie board brands that actually are grassroots, you're welcome to just disregard everything I just said.
I don't wish skate spots going away and I'm all for new spots and parks popping up. But does the end justify the means? To me that is rarely the case. I'm not saying that Palace is doing something horrible like selling guns to terrorists to fund cool stuff. They're just pushing an image & culture I don't like therefore I can't fully back what they're doing. Also slagging off Habitat for no apparent reason didn't exactly improve their image in my eyes and I'm not a big Habitat fan at all. Never had a Habitat board and probably won't but I think they're alright.
I get your point about Palace "playing the game" of streetwear and using the "wins" for what they deem good. Is that good? Not 100% at least. Where would you draw the line? What if it were junk food instead of streetwear? Or guns? Or something else that's not according to your values? I don't know why they are doing what they're doing. They might actually be really into that shit, which makes them lame in my eyes. And if they're just "playing the game" and having a laugh doing it I don't still see it as a good thing as that's just dishonest and pushing some shit you yourself think is lame. 🤔
I have to admit that I'm a bit of a purist, maybe less and less the older I get but still by no means ok with everything. I am not a fan of Nike, Adidas & Cons being in skateboarding but it's hard to argue against the shit they're doing even if their motives possibly aren't as pure as those of skater owned companies. Truth be told, I have no idea how shady Sole Tech or Lakai or other skater owned brands are. I tried to avoid supporting the sport brands in skating but I caved in and bought a bunch of Cons cuz I absolutely love how Chucks look. Got rid of them all after the nazi debacle though. Also been considering not buying pro models of guys on Nike, Adidas, Cons or NB but that just makes things way too fucking difficult.
Smaller brands "funded" by the big sport brands. I don't like it. I don't know what exactly has happened but I've heard Polar getting money from Cons (Nike) to start. Pontus used to be anti corpo while on Emerica but then went to Cons and shut up. I still like Polar. It's not so black and white, sadly. It's all grey like all things in life. 😊
I also want to say that I see no inherent value in skateboarding being big or being inflated with Nike, McDonalds and whatever money and the Olympics and all that. The Olympics might give us some more skate parks but I doubt any of that shit will improve skateboarding for the average skater in any way.
There's a whole bunch more I wanted to say on the subject but this is everything that came out of my brain for now. 😊
I'm in no way offended by anything you've posted. I think you're a great poster and seem like a good person and a genuinely nice chap. I also appreciate that you're up for an actual discussion. That is something that's getting rarer and rarer these days, especially on forums. So no reason to be sorry or anything like that cuz I enjoy this discussion. 😊

Nothing wrong with sticking up for the company you ride for, especially when I think cheesy isn't a word I'd use to describe Habitat.

Was Heroin and Fos, more recently. Those random absurd controversial jabs only serve to give Palace publicity, whenever a thread like this pops up they win. Targeting different brands in succession also equals indirect exposure in each brand's niche. On the other hand, given Palace's popularity, their public trolling also provides the entities they target with a more mainstream window, which makes it all appear like tough love. I find it amusing, logically they do deserve to be given shit back, but it's also all they're trying to get for their noise to get even louder. Too bad it's a pretty soggy noise due to the actual quality of the boards.

Brits love to pretend garage, house, and air max's belong to them and aren't American Creations (to anyone who tries to school me on UK Garage... the name comes from the damn Paradise Garage on King St in NY and the genre's most popular song is a damn Chicago house track called Gabriel by Roy Davis Jr. and Peven Everett)
I don't get the hate they try to give. All that energy could be given back to them so easy there is absolutely 0 reason for them to be on a high horse. I just don't understand what justifies the pretension in their minds.
Theoretically I should like Palace but they make me cringe so often.
I haven't skated a Habitat/Workshop in a while but I love PS Stix.
I would also like to take the time to thank Joe Castrucci for all his wonderfully aesthetic contributions to skateboarding. His eye for design made a big impact on me as a kid.

Palace has an amazing team it’s a shame their boards are soggy pieces of shit. Their clothing line appears to be quality goods so it’s no wonder they are doing so well with it. Their (Lev’s) shit talking doesn’t seem all that serious. If you remember his old PWBC website options were expressed on there that caused some debate.

Alien and habitat now is awesome. I look forward to the media they release and their boards are great.
It’s the opposite for palace. Palace is cringe as fuck.

Every palace board i have seen was this darker grain that is soggy and sounds like cardboard. I came across this type of wood in around 2015 on another european brand and their boards were also soggy.

I’m with this. And the habitat schtick can get a little thick. It’s ok for them to take some shit.
palace not above reproach, and their end is coming faster than they might think, imo, no ones stays young and beautiful.
mrstealyourboard the best tho, and the team in general is wicked. I had one of the first few seasons of boards, and it was decent! Heard that’s no longer the case. Way back when, world boards would break within hours, and I absolutely didn’t care because they were hot, and for those few hours you were definitely going to be able to pop the fuck out of a few tricks. If palace went that way, I’d buy. I swear those world boards were more disposable, but but crispier for a minute. I cannot break a board now, because I’m Mr burns.

Anyone else out there wondering if maybe the reason Habitat has been living in a world of dekline for 10 years is because they've been pushing lil baby gap professor twinkle toes with the magic feet as their poster boy for this exact same amount of time?? If you're most promoted pro is as lame and unenjoyable to watch as Mark then no amount of nollie 170s to slop crook revert combos on curb high ledges will save your dying board brand no matter how many smoky the bear x Nasa colabs you print off .. Habitat is doomed until they cut Mark and send him off to whatever mental purgatory Rodney Mullen wakes up in. If you offered me a stack of one hundred 7.5" suciu boards or a pair of Sample Size 9 Palace x POLO Ralph Lauren velvet slippers, I would run with the slippers because in 2 years the slippers will have somehow upped 500% in resale value while the suciu boards will still be worthless to me and to most

palace boards fucking suck, anyone with a brain will tell you that
alien/habitat decks feel good, so....
why is palace so insecure about US skating too?

So palace is like beanie babies. People buy it in hopes to resale in the future to hype beast trendy nerds. But at some point beanie babies stopped being on trend and no one cared and people who bought in hopes to re-sale was caught holding useless shit.

^Have you considered paying attention to contemporary skateboarding? They released a great full-length last year (for free, mind you), they've pumped money into the Long Live Southbank campaign, they opened up an indoor skatepark to support the London scene over the past winter, they've milked their status in the fashion industry with great tongue-in-cheek ads, and they make sure rad skaters like Danny Brady, Jamal Smith, and Lucien Clarke (among others) get paid.
But no, how dare they say what everyone is thinking about Habitat.

Of course he is joking. He writes captions from his living room sofa while waiting for his uber eats delivery to arrive. There is no malice in anything he says. It's a joke, that some people take very seriously. He's also saying what people have been thinking for years. I don't think there is a industry that spends more time shit talking on their peers more so than skateboarding. What Lev says, has been said in countless teams group chats for years.

Maybe they didn’t, but a generation of skateboarders will remember mosaic. I don’t think anyone I know or maybe people here can even name a palace video. Do they make videos? No idea.
Sick. A bunch of 30 to 40 year old's are currently remembering Mosaic. Good job Habitat on a successful 2019.
and nah Palace have never made a skate video.

Talked some shit on their giant camo puffy jackets and they blocked me.
blocked me because i made a parody edit of "palasonic" with scooter clips. i wouldn't have made the edit if i didn't think "palasonic" was amazing. blocking me didn't hurt my feelings too much--or stop me from buying palace stuff.
Bravo.

at some point beanie babies stopped being on trend and no one cared and people who bought in hopes to re-sale was caught holding useless shit. Get the money when you can
Speaking of baby beanies, anyone else have a soft spot for Marks back-to-school mini-slouch beanie aesthetic?? Kinda crazy how trapped he really is in his self created mold of a 14yo midwestern zumiez-based virgin. I can imagine why streetwear brands would hate him, he makes skateboarding look about as cool or sexy or sellable or permanent or influential as a modern Rodney Mullen x Chris Haslam x Termite collaboration . Someone needs to get Mark lit up, cover him in regrettable tattoos, throw some size 36w dickies on him, break a few bottles over his head and then leave him for waste under a QP at lower-bobs. He would probably still wake up unbelievably pretentious and insufferable but visually would be less of an embarrassment to skatebording

I don't think people from the US realise how much palace hook there team/employees up. these guys are really eating, and brought all their mates with them - at least they sold out, pay everyone goooood and laugh about it.
On the other hand Habitat been selling out doing cringe collabs and for what? did they pump that money into a skatepark tho....
Ya'll can hate on the fact that palace sponsor Prawn Showers, fuck that guy. But lets not forget Habitat sponsored that women beating pussyole Daryl Angel for a bit too long....

that was quite a few heated responses. I don’t like palace. that’s all. if I were an old curmudgeon I would be riding anti-hero’s dick but I criticize them and all the old guys like 10/10 who refuse to change. I like polar and northern co. and theories and state and other smaller skate brands so I really don’t think being close minded or old is the issue. btw I wasn’t backing supreme - I was lumping them and palace together. they both have some good riders whose skating is good but so does numbers. I’m not into the brands that are too chummy with nike, addidas, polo, etc. shit’s wack. just my opinion.
Without Meaning to be a pedant, you say you back Polar but hate brands that are chummy with Nike etc. Nearly their whole team rides Nike and they did a collab shoe with Cons so your argument makes no sense.
As for people hating Palace for getting big, tbh most of it has been an accident that they're just rolling with, it's not some great masterplan. They got good money from doing the Adidas and Umbro collabs and got some fashion attention from and used it to grow the brand. As for the fashion thing being a problem, you have to realise that that's just who Lev and a lot of their mates are, East London is a melting pot where everyone knows each other and stuff like fashion just rubs off, doesn't make them any less of a skater just cos you think they're too trendy, same for the Supreme team.
It's a bunch of mates who started a tiny board company that's gone on to do collabs with Adidas, Reebok, Umbro, Polo etc, got their gear on the women's Wimbledon winner, main billboards in Tokyo all whilst giving loads of coin to Southank, building Mwadlands and sorting all their riders out big time. Also, they still sell product to skate shops rather than being direct to customer which they could easily do. If you can't back that cos it's not "core" then you can keep on waiting for skating to die again so it's like it was back in your days.
As for Palace dying a death in the next coupe of years, I think Supreme has shown that skate/fashion brands can have longevity and that there's not really a limit to how big they'll get. Personally I don't see Palace as anywhere near as hype as Supreme which is probably good for the brand, if they're lucky they can find a space in the market similar to Stussy where they start out super hype but can stay at a level afterwards where they're never the coolest thing on the market but are always seen as decent, Stussy were doing incredible volume of product in Britain a couple of years ago but always managed not to get so blown out that they weren't cool anymore.
Personally they're not my favourite brand but what they do is sick for skating when they could easily just cash in totally and not give a fuck.
I support Polar, the board company, not the shoe company that sponsors a lot of its riders. That's two different things.
So, let's see, I don't like this overhyped brand that you like so I must be a "core" kook who wants skateboarding to be underground again. Haven't heard that one before. Most of your argument relies on projection and straw manning. So, does that mean you're a conformist normie who only feels secure liking things that have majority approval? If I'm an old crank are you one of the bandwagon jumpers who hopped on once you saw everyone else doing it? Shit, I kinda like this way of thinking. It requires very little thought and reinforces my worldview. Or, maybe Palace is not my cup of tea? Just 'cause it had humble beginnings doesn't mean it's not pumping out crap now.
You know right that Polar was started with aprox 75k of Nike money?
Where did you hear this?! haha 75K to start a little deck company, I highly doubt Pontus started with that amount of cash on hand.

The Bob's Burgers collab wasn't great but christ, have you seen the Palace/Ralph Lauren blue velvet formal slippers? https://www.instagram.com/p/BpzVEQWFz8d/
What's funny about all of these collabs is that, rather than it elevating my opinion of the skate brands that do it, it just reduces whatever minor opinion I had about the high-fashion shit that's collaborating with them to care even less about them than I already had.

Palace would be a lot easier to accept personally if their boards were at least of good quality. I ended up getting one as a gift and compared it to a Real board I had and the difference is surprisingly noticeable imo. Them going all in on an aesthetic that seems to mesh better with luxury brands than other skate brands at the moment doesn't help. Suiciu is also just a weird dude, amazing skater but unfortunately I get the BA grad, pseudointellectual tryhard vibe from him whenever I hear him off the board. I could be totally off base with that though. Both aren't really wrong, Habitat isn't on top anymore and Palace isn't either, but both are off.

-Palace built a free indoor park for London Locals and did a charity board to help keep southbank open
-Habitat has Suciu and Castrucci
I fuck with both Palace and Suciu, along with Habitat cuz of Castrucci, so i dunno.
As i write this i am facing the Palace Southbank board hanging on my wall, so maybe i'll side with palace for that as well as giving back to the community?
I wonder if Suciu actually took this whole matter somewhat seriously or strictly made a statement on the basis of knowing that it would grab the attention of Slap Pals and likewise people, thus creating a debate amongst people such as this thread for example ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s crazy how many of kids will defend habitat and aws in 2020. Do you guys actually support them and buy their bobs burgers decks or whatever, and where at Zumiez? I don’t know of any real shops that carry that shit

I’ve been riding palace boards for a cool min and I can attest to first ones not being that great but the recent ones have been good snappy boards. I’m not sure if they are made by dsm anymore there’s no laser etching/sticker on em signifying it.

Yeah Palace boards have been soggy dog shit for years but I had a go on a friends board recently at a session after I totalled my truck.
Messaged him later to ask what board it was as I was so impressed with the snappy ness and how fresh it felt and turns out it was a Palace.
Can someone chime in and find out where they get made now?
-
You guys are describing what a good resin7 dsm board feels like. Not soggy at all if anything too dry and snappy. They probably just stopped using the shittiest possible budget layout that dwindle does for blind and almost price points. They used that forever and it sucks.

i dunno man, imo they pump out footage regularily, but as it's often just single parts of a single rider, it may seem a bit scattered. so maybe yes.

palace is fucking wack, fuck all these hipster brands
habitat and alien are sick if you think about all the teams that used to be sick compared to now, if you actually pay attention and watch their team skate, it actually make sense, they have a team that makes sense and can skate for real, no bullshit needed.
they just turned kaue cossa pro, guy is fucking insane, saw him skating in person, very good style.. powerful..
this sucks cuz palace has sick skaters, but fuck all these hipsters trying to act cool and be like "oooh I'm sooo edgy baby look at me, HERE LOOK AT ME, I'M SO DIFFERENT!! U WILL NEVER GET IT BRAH UR NOT ARTSY ENOUGH BRAH"

you are a clown and mad that a guy in some cute looking clothing skates better than you ever did thats why you have to call out teams from back in the day instead of your self. do you like it when you girl dresses cute? so why wouldnt you try to dress cute too for her. and if the skills are there why would anyone get mad at these folks? dont think old aws or habitat were that better skill wise

Bought a Palace Jamal Smith deck yesterday, as I realised the 8.25 is basically my dream shape, mellow with 14" WB...I'm London local and they are a moderately popular brand amongst the scene heads...I kinda equate them with Supreme and the smaller scale but super hyped Clown skateboards.
The graphics and art direction isn't too bad, and their team is pretty stacked... if the wood works for me I have no problem supporting the brand.
As a British skater it gives me some pride to see British skate brands operating on a global scale since I came back to skating... blows my mind that Skateboard Cafe, Palace, Clown, Death, Heroin, Isle (and a bunch more) have all made waves across the pond and beyond.... world of difference to the early 2000s.

Yeah this dudes wild. Palasonic was one of the only memorable videos of the last decade. In the 2010s there has been like at most 3-4 videos a year worth a shit anymore, and Palasonic was a top 5 video of the decade. In terms of originality and high level skating in a full length, Palasonic is one of the best videos of the last decade and it’s no debate. It was such a sharp contrast to everything that’s come out as of late.

if u want to know where the industry craze for euro guys jibbing crusty city spots came from u really needn’t look further

I think some of the hate brands like Palace, Supreme (yes I'm aware of their corporate overlords) and a lesser extend Dime get is directed towards the non-skaters and hypebeasts that wear them. Which is unfair to the companies themselves in a way. They're not exempt from criticism though. I guess it just depends what they do with the money on the other end. They could go the full Diamond route and just buy a bunch of teal colours sports cars and sell out to Zuimez, or they could be Supreme and put out full lengths every couple of years, or Dime and throw the best "contest series" in skateboarding.
I only really care for Dime out of those three, but I can't really blame any of them for doing what they do. Eventually you get big enough that you have start being smart business wise. You can either ride the wave you've got going and sustain yourself and those who work with you for years to come, or decide you wanna keep it "core" and do whatever that means.
Ultimately I only care about these brands skateboard activities. If Supreme or Palace drops a video, I'll probably give it a watch, and keep ignoring whatever collection they dropped and the hype that surrounds it.

Yea thats a good point. I think at its core Palace is still a great skateboarding company. They put out great videos, put on great skaters, and pretty much singlehandedly grew the UK skate scene to what it is today.

A lot of the hate directed at Palace, at least on here, is in direct response to their adverts that throw slander at other brands unnecessarily. When you're in their position of influence, that's in really poor taste and is bad for the entire scene and industry imo

And I've never been to London and just don't get Palace at all. Totally agree than Chewy is the only good thing associated with them!
I know plenty of skaters from London and I can tell you that Palace is definitely not the epitome of London!
They are so far up their own ass its unreal! Never seen such an arrogant bunch of people. Exactly what the skateboard industry doesn't need. Plus its over priced hypebeast garbage made for sheep with more money than sense basically.
How many people do u know that actually skate skate that rock Palace? (Apart from those that get hooked up)

Palace is the most influential company of the last 10 years whether you like them or not. They’ve already left a massive cultural impact. They’re definitely worthy of criticism about certain things though and the insults towards Fos were pretty sad really
Let’s be honest here.
There all just copying early World anyway.
That’s whats boring about all these companies, Palace included, they are not really very original at all. The kids are into it because they weren’t around in the 90’s.

palace is fucking wack, fuck all these hipster brands
habitat and alien are sick if you think about all the teams that used to be sick compared to now, if you actually pay attention and watch their team skate, it actually make sense, they have a team that makes sense and can skate for real, no bullshit needed.
they just turned kaue cossa pro, guy is fucking insane, saw him skating in person, very good style.. powerful..
this sucks cuz palace has sick skaters, but fuck all these hipsters trying to act cool and be like "oooh I'm sooo edgy baby look at me, HERE LOOK AT ME, I'M SO DIFFERENT!! U WILL NEVER GET IT BRAH UR NOT ARTSY ENOUGH BRAH"
get da fuck out of here!
no bullshit and skate > hipster shit, anyday.
you are a clown and mad that a guy in some cute looking clothing skates better than you ever did thats why you have to call out teams from back in the day instead of your self. do you like it when you girl dresses cute? so why wouldnt you try to dress cute too for her. and if the skills are there why would anyone get mad at these folks? dont think old aws or habitat were that better skill wise
nice try, if this is not a bait and u are really mad, I guarantee u use cuff pants and do no comply wallies only, skating a palace 9 inch board AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA get da fuck out of here little kid, learn some skate history and learn respect, u are not "artful" or "different" u just dress like every "follow the trend" kid nowdays.
no comply wallies are tight, ever seen that shit over a jersey barrier

I skate in Palace quite regularly (just the simple stuff like a triferg shirt or a cap ec). However thats because I got most of my Palace stuff a long time ago when I would get it cheap at my local shop which has now gone. I wouldn't bother buying any nowadays at the current prices. Skated a couple of their boards in the past too and they were fine. I've never really been a deck snob or really able to tell much difference other than width but it felt like any other normal skateboard.

Palsonic for video of the decade is a tall claim outside of the UK for sure. They make great videos and products but that’s a bit rich
Yes they’ve earnt more money than most companies ever would but a whole lot of that comes from outside skateboarding from crappy kids in the mall.
I don’t see any amount of video success making it cool to act that way, but I’m not 16 so what do I know.

I don't think this logic checks out. In terms of trick selection, board sizes, shapes and graphics, fashion choices, Polar and Palace are very different, and one cannot equate the two.

Defo Polar
Copying early World how ? You can make that argument with nearly any brand.
-
I first started skating in 2000 so when I think World, I think Flameboy, Wet Willy, and slicks. Their cool days were before my time. Polar is cool, love their videos and I have a board waiting for me to skate that seems poppy and pretty spiffy overall. I’m not sure how to describe Palace as a brand and not seeking out their boards but I did watch Palasonic once and enjoyed it.
Maybe an unpopular opinion on here but Hockey as a brand is really cool.

I don't care for their schtick but the boards are very good.

Claim strikes me as somewhat sus. Palace was founded in 2009, Polar in 2010. At the time of Polar’s inception, Palace was still a dinky operation known as The Palace Wayward Boys Choir & was an infant as far as companies go. It wasn’t until later they were brought under the Slam City distro umbrella as an in-house brand that they got the big jab in the arm that helped launch them into the hype east juggernaut they are today. I don’t see Pontus, OR Dill who, at that point at least, was still enjoying large checks from “peak AWS,” begging to be put on a tiny fledging company.
But what do I know?!?

Lou,
I agree with the thinking here, and have always pondered this myself. My theory in why it is not suspect though, is look at what Dill and Pontus went out and did instead of Palace. This makes it a lot more believable from a motive/narrative perspective. If you remember some years back Pontus had an interview that got posted here, and I believe it was in the last 3 questions of the interview, but one of his answers devolved into why he made polar or something like that. In that answer he said one crucial thing that backs the narrative they asked or something similar. He says that brands need to have like one iconic figure, that essentially legitimizes the brand, similar to AVE and Dill on FA/AWS, or Pontus on Polar. He goes on for like three to four paragraphs about this concept. What makes sense with the palace narrative given that information, is Pontus likely saw these guys as something worth investing in, and wanted to be that guy for them. Same thing with Dill, Dill seems even more likely since he seems like the anxious fuck who would shit his pants halfway through an all in bet on the poker table. I bet after leaving AWS, he legit shit his pants and thought about leaving AVE high and dry for Palace, prolly not seriously cuz his conscious prolly would get the better of him, but he at minimum theorized about a fallback plan should FA fail. One thing I can say about Dill with all his eccentricities, usually eccentric people think their shit out to a high level, and tend to be fairly intelligent, which from a Risk analysis standpoint would have been the smart plan of action.

The first Palace promo came out in 2010 and by this point the name was just Palace. But yeah was quite a different company back then. Fos said in his pals interview that he and Pontus discussed him riding for Heroin before going off to start Polar so I don't think it's implausible that he may have spoken to Palace as well around this time. Also I don't think it's too far fetched that Jason Dill would have spoke to them around the time he realised Alien was going to shit (around 2012?) before doing FA as a proper board company. By this point Palace was well established.
I don't know any of this though so yeah could just be bullshit

https://vimeo.com/56223094
2:32 mark, and the only people who weren't on Palace at the time in the edit were Benny Fairfax (who got on shortly after along with Brady) and Andrew Brophy who were both original PWBC members.
Palace and Supreme/Dill had some fall out a few years back over their shops (I think Supreme thought Palace was poaching employees or something), which is why no one from Palace rides for Supreme anymore (Lucien at the least used to), and all the London guys they hook up are associated with Atlantic Drift (Casper Brooker, Kyron Davis, Mike Arnold).
-
It started with Palace, but Supreme(FA) was more influential
-
It was said in a Palace ad a few years back now. Something along the lines of saying
"These are the people who tried to get on but we said nein to"
.Pontus Alv
.Jason Dill
.Tiago lemos
.That guy on numbers who skates rails (wasnt sure who they ment, miles silvas maybe?)
and finished by saying Palace is more interested in Tony Ferguson

I doubt the honesty behind that ad frankly. Seems like such a Palace thing to do, they probably think it's edgy or some shit.

Don't worry I'll wait...
You're right, i don't know anyone who actually wears Palace. My local certainly doesn't carry their stuff. I don't think anyone who isn't wealthy can actually afford Palace.
I wonder, has anyone skated the boards? What's the shape like?
They’re pretty flat, other than that they’re pretty standard. I liked it I’ll probably end up getting one again. Palace and Skate Cafe decks are the cheapest in the UK, so they’re probably the 2 that people skate the most here

It was said in a Palace ad a few years back now. Something along the lines of saying
"These are the people who tried to get on but we said nein to"
.Pontus Alv
.Jason Dill
.Tiago lemos
.That guy on numbers who skates rails (wasnt sure who they ment, miles silvas maybe?)
and finished by saying Palace is more interested in Tony Ferguson
I doubt the honesty behind that ad frankly. Seems like such a Palace thing to do, they probably think it's edgy or some shit.
Crazy to think they denied Tiago. It would probably make palace more available through Brazil.

I get why they would deny dill and Pontus, I’m pretty sure Lev said on his freeskatemag interview that if you wouldn’t be down to blaze with Jamal in the van you can’t get on palace. But I bet Tiago can hang he seems like a pretty chill guy

They keep a pretty local crew of guys they were good friends with or Lev finds funny. They may just not have known him very well.
As their team expands I think they'd rather hook up London locals like Kyle Wilson or guys who live there now like Charlie Birch, and not create some superteam where the guys aren't connected. Lucas was put on because he was buddy's with a bunch of the team through Adidas.

I guess it’s the same with Heitor, I think he said they put him on after going on tour with them. I get it, but it would still be cool if Javi Sarmiento and Tiago were on palace
-
Wasnt there talk of Penny potentially getting on at one point
-
If you believe they turned down Tiago you're fried.
No way he'd even ask in the first place
-
I dont see the connection of how Tiago could've got on. Palace knew of Heitor when he was flow for Polar and offered to give him gear when they saw he was ordering stuff online from them.
I believe Charlie and Kyle Wilson were working at the Palasonic Park before they were on.
Andrew Brophy was offered a spot on Palace because Benny Fairfax is his brother in law? But chose Girl because he was staying with Carroll at the time.

Why do you think they would just blindly accept him? He's an unreal skater but there is more to getting on a brand like Palace than that. It is not like Palace needs a Tiago to move more product.

If Snelling gets on palace and they start making 10 inch boards would be jokes

Team wise they are beneath him.

Team habitat over here, we will indeed see if palace has a lasting cultural impact like alien and habitat have, is there some backstory to the beef with fos? I thought he was a super nice guy beloved by all?
In 10 years time are we really gonna say hey remember that straight to YouTube edit with the EDM music the way we remember mosaic or anything alien workshop ever did?
Seems pretty edgelordish, I for one shall be boycotting palace and refusing to buy their 200 dollar shirts,
Can’t everyone just be friends
Someone please think of the children
I try to forget 2000s skateboarding videos. They were pretty bland for how good the skateboarding technically was. I'm not saying Palace is going to be more culturally relevant in the end, but a brand like Habitat is pretty forgettable unless 2003 was your childhood and it's nostalgic for you.
That's like saying Picasso at 40 was boring because his blue period was behind him.

If I’m being honest, Palace, Brophy and Carroll. Palace/Carroll for wanting Brophy. And Brophy for turning down Palace. From the outside looking in Palace looks dope, yeah they got some craze gear, but they take care of their people and their local scene. Im a big fan of their team and vids.

I have replayed this scenario in my head a thousand times in the last few years to explain Brophy on Girl...and now my imagination has the perfect dialogue to go with it. You can just see Smyth, Carroll and Howard in an office mesmerised by a Cliche video going "woah!" Hahaha. I'd add to their conversation: "If this guy keeps up his productivity from five years ago for the next five years, we'll replace Guy and Koston for sure!"

Pretty sure Brophy had a falling out with people close to Palace over the Wayward Wheels stuff and Wayward boards with Snowy over the copyright.

Bought a Palace Jamal Smith deck yesterday, as I realised the 8.25 is basically my dream shape, mellow with 14" WB...I'm London local and they are a moderately popular brand amongst the scene heads...I kinda equate them with Supreme and the smaller scale but super hyped Clown skateboards.
The graphics and art direction isn't too bad, and their team is pretty stacked... if the wood works for me I have no problem supporting the brand.
As a British skater it gives me some pride to see British skate brands operating on a global scale since I came back to skating... blows my mind that Skateboard Cafe, Palace, Clown, Death, Heroin, Isle (and a bunch more) have all made waves across the pond and beyond.... world of difference to the early 2000s.
Clown skateboards has been on my radar for a whole year and I still don’t know where to buy a board from them. Which sucks because I dig their vibe

Yardsale looked like it was going to be really sick before they lost half their team, not that you can blame guys like Charlie Birch and Kyle Wilson for taking an opportunity to ride for Palace.
The UK scene is probably my favorite for footage right now. Palace, Isle/Atlantic Drift and Skateboard Cafe (especially Korahn Gayle) are killing it. Been a big fan of it since watching Lose and Found, and the evolution is awesome.
