Provide context...like the sponsors and maybe deal info
Also who cares if he isn't breaking contracts?

Hate to side with the rest of these guy's but when making claims on SLAP one has to have source for your thread...... I mean maybe he likes tight trucks with wider wheelbase.......?

this is too stupid to dignify but he just didn’t stick with his hookups from when he was a lil flow kid. dude stepped up his skating, presence and promotional reach and got sponsors that reflected that. good for him.
also that atcq graphic is complete dogshit you guys have the worst eyeballs.

Anyone with any loyalty to any employer is a sucker. It ain't the 1950s anymore. There's nothing wrong with getting yours, especially in an industry where the loss of your career is always one bad injury/bad Instagram post/kooky magazine interview away.

Do people really prefer Ventures to Indys nowadays?
Yea.
Not all of us skate transition or need the deep carving turn of indy or ace. I have a ready set if Indy, venture and Thunder for the board dimension or type of skaing i want. I prefer the baseplate slide of venture but enjoy the turning radius of thunder. Sometimes i wanna ride indy and sometimes i dont 🤷🏼♂️

The 6.1 ventures turn very nicely.
People leave sponsors because either they got offered a better a deal or their friends either left said brand or are on another one.

Alex Olson got kicked off Vans because they didn't want him to move to NYC while they were filming Propellor. Probably because he couldn't be relied upon to produce footage. It was around the time of Pretty Sweet, and he seemed pretty burnt out on filming big projects.

I have only ever skated Ventures and Independents, and both make quality trucks. Kader did nothing wrong switching from one company to the other.
Anyone remember at the end of the early 411's, it was the industry section where it showed pro's switching from one company to the next or starting their own company. Skaters switched company's back then so often, it got pretty confusing...Kader is doing nothing new and deserves to make any switch he desires

Oh, the way he referenced the situation on his 9 club made it sound like he didn't sign his contract and went to Nike. There always 2 sides to the story though.

He's bumped up with each one and you are going to dogg him for that?
When he leaves Baker, tossing what The Boss did for him, then you can talk shit.

He mentions it in his day in the life with Jenkem. At the very least they told him if he moved they weren't going to sponsor him. Possibly they didn't follow through with the threat and he went to Nike how you referenced later. It's not like he really had more homies on Nike though outside of BA, considering Dill and Ave were both on Vans at the time.

When I was 16, my first job was at Pizza Hut and it sucked. I quit after 2 months. Then I got a job sitting behind the counter in a small store that sold framed pictures. I was able to bring my laptop to work, do homework, and listen to music. Oh, and I got paid more.
Kader is doing the equivalent of quitting his first job. Dude's a child. Let him live.
-
I'm surprised that anyone can be mad at Kader for making these moves. Especially the Emerica to Vans move, considering this was the same move Reynolds just made (I wonder if Reynolds encouraged this move).
Kader is amazing and I'm hoping he keeps a level head as he gets older. He could make a huge mark on skateboarding, he just needs to avoid the pitfalls that come with coming up at a young age.
P.S. I remember reaching 600 posts the other day, but I'm back to 600 again. What happened here? Was there a thread that recently got deleted?

In all fairness Kader hasn't done anything out of the ordinary. Like XEN said - when he quits baker for FA and tosses everything the boss has done out the window is a different story.
Right now though, who gives a shit if he left indy?

imagine giving a shit. its just skateboarding lil dudes.

Interesting. It's not really all that different than the NBA. They put rules in place to "force" young black men to go to college before going to the NBA and getting potentially big money contracts, in the name of what exactly? In baseball, a much more "white" sport, one can and often does enter the professional ranks immediately out of high school. Same with hockey. Why is that? Why is it far more acceptable for white young men to make money over their non-white counterparts?

It's not a race thing. EVERY basketball player is required to go to college before joining the NBA, regardless of race. It just so happens that black guys are just better at basketball. They didn't start that rule to punish black players.
Baseball is roughly half white. The other half is comprised of mostly hispanic/black/asian players. A lot of the best players in the league are black, hispanic, or asian. Also, you can be drafted out of high school, but it generally takes 4-5+ years to make it to the major leagues anyways. You spend a lot of time in the minors not making a ton of money.
Hockey is very white. That's true, but the best players in the NHL make less than half of what the best players in the NFL/NBA/MLB make.

He's bumped up with each one and you are going to dogg him for that?
When he leaves Baker, tossing what The Boss did for him, then you can talk shit.
I think he's absolutely leaving Baker for FA, and soon, just not before Baker 4 drops
Kader is definitely not leaving Baker for FA. And if he does, it won't be for like another 5 years or so. Baker is his home and he loves to skate with the other Baker riders.
Reynolds if you haven't noticed is kinda of like a Father figure to him. I say that in the best possible way...Kader looks up to him for advice and validation

How is it racist if it affects EVERYONE that wants to play in the NBA? The rule would still exist if the NBA suddenly became disproportionately white.

He’s saying that sometimes a general rule will be put in place if it predominantly effects black people. Which I agree does happen sometimes, but he’s full of shit on this when you consider that the NFL is full of predominantly black players. They are obvious racists so why wouldn’t they go for the same scheme.
And I probably shouldn’t have even said that but I can’t help myself.

The rule wasn't put in place in order to hold black people back. It was put in place as an attempt to ensure that these kids (of all races) get some semblance of a real education before they are handed millions of dollars to participate in a career that may only last a few years.
Is it a coincidence that a very large percentage of players that never attended college are now essentially flat broke because they had nothing to fall back on when their sports career was over? I think not.
I would bet anyone that the ex-players who are now broke wished they would have been forced to go college first.

Yeah I’m on the same side of this argument as you I’m just saying that it can happen in other areas of every day life. Rules put in place that effect everyone if they are especially harsh on a certain group. So I get what his argument was but I don’t believe that that’s what is actually happening here. Just trying to show I understand it happens.

The NBA is unique in this because their players union lobbied successfully for guaranteed contracts, so you get your money no matter what. Whereas the NFL, which is its own weird set of really odd mandingo fighting issues, does not have such a contract structure so, if you're a running back and you blow out your knee in game 1 of your first season, too fucking bad.
It's racist because in just about any other profession (other than the NFL because of literal concerns for the physical safety of the human body, maybe) you could conceivably become an earning professional straight out of high school if you are skilled enough. Why do they insist on making people go to one year of college? To learn life skills? No. It is because if these dudes could go get paid right outta high school, then they would. And then people would lose interest in collegiate basketball, which by and large makes its millions off of the labor of an unpaid, largely black workforce. If the "good" players are going straight to the NBA, the product of the NCAA suffers.
Ergo...the rule.

The way you explained it seems to me like the rules are in place specifically to protect the NCAA and not specifically to target black athletes. It again reminds me of the WWE. They were scouting Brock Lesnar in Olympic style wrestling they wanted to sign him but insisted he finish school before they made a deal even though he didn’t want to go to school. Their talent relations guy (Good Ol Jr) spoke about it recently and about how they prefer college educated wrestlers because of the widely known effects higher education has on many people, how the carry themselves, the effect it has on decision making etc.

Not arguing that at all but sports Organizations are notorious for treating their players like shit. There’s players strikes and shit like that in every major sport because of this kind of thing. I mean some guys don’t get to go straight to the NBA but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a ton of players of black players getting paid that ARE in the NBA. It’s not like every team has the payroll to just hire every body that has NBA level skills either. So I don’t see what it really does to keep black players specially locked out. Black players still dominate the NBA and probably always will. And as long as basketball is popular they are gonna get paid a ton.
They don’t have to pay a ton of money to NCAA players and that’s all that matters. Triple A baseball players don’t make any money either. If one dude doesn’t go to college and then never gets to go to the NBA, it’s not like there isn’t a thousand other dudes in line who will.

Forbes and Mother Jones both did articles on minor league baseball wages.
Starting wages in single A baseball is $1,100 per month (during the season) and $2,150 for AAA. However, some of the AAA players are doing pretty awesome since the mean average is 10K per month.
Also, I'm curious how many of these players have scholarships and play at universities as well. Does the NCAA allow baseball players to play in private leagues during the summer, if they play the regular season at school?
Finally, since we are super far off topic anyway, I'd like to see NCAA basketball leave the university altogether and just become minor league basketball OR I'd like to see all the coaches become unpaid "amateurs" as well. There is no reason the highest paid state employee is often some stupid coach, especially since most of the D-I schools lose money on their sports programs, hell, most lose money just on their "money making sport." (Also the point of university is the education not the sports.)

I wonder if that 10k includes anyone playing in the AAA when they calculated it. You have a bunch of MLB guys in there when they come back from injuries or need to work on something. I remember Manny Ramirez was in there when I was watching a lot. He was either coming back from an injury or it was after he disgraced us and got popped for roids. But at the time I believe he had the highest ever baseball contract. He was destroying in AAA but that was probably right before he got busted.
I texted so much shit talking to my boss because Dodgers beat the Angels one night. Then I woke up to him blowing up my phone laughing because Manny was all over the news the next morning for steroids. Such a walk of shame coming in.

What if he just likes those brands, he's young, young kids like Supreme not RVCA. Lot's of people skate ventures these days, nobody was skating those when I was skating so maybe that's what he likes. Emerica to Vans, well the Boss did it too, and he's one of the most respected players in the game. If Emerica isn't doing well, and Vans is doing extremely well it might be worth it to just jump. Kids aren't wearing Emerica's out there either by the way. I did happen to see some kid wearing some nice Reynolds G6's about a week ago in the grocery store. It was also the first time I saw crazy track marks tracing every part of every vein on someone, he was with his parents, who were paying for a handle of vodka with change. But I've seen 30 pairs of vans since then.

Yes, this is actually true. The best high school players are better off going to college for a year though. Better competition and they get a year of college credits under their belt.

I need to watch more Hockey. I like it a lot but I never put enough effort into watching sports. Besides baseball post season. Need to stop fucking around and use more free tv apps at home.
We have a Mario Lemieux golf jersey thing in a casino out here from when he did a celebrity game out here. That’s as close as it gets. But as I write this I just remembered they are supposedly building a hockey arena out here and have already filed trademarks for an NHL expansion team so that would be sick.

But as I write this I just remembered they are supposedly building a hockey arena out here and have already filed trademarks for an NHL expansion team so that would be sick.
Where are you from? Seattle?

Palm Springs. Probably won’t happen because this place always says they are gonna do some shit like this and it never happens. Not enough people here outside of winter anyways, and the ones that are here are elderly. I can drive a little over an hour and see an AHL team though. Which I should do in the next couple months. I just hate driving into the city.

Nope. California. It’s the same deal. I was actually looking at population yesterday for some reason and we are around 800,000 in winter and like 200,000 in summer.
People just fucking flood in here in winter, lots of rich people. This place isn’t made for that so it’s a nightmare.

They don’t have to pay a ton of money to NCAA players and that’s all that matters. Triple A baseball players don’t make any money either. If one dude doesn’t go to college and then never gets to go to the NBA, it’s not like there isn’t a thousand other dudes in line who will.
Forbes and Mother Jones both did articles on minor league baseball wages.
Starting wages in single A baseball is $1,100 per month (during the season) and $2,150 for AAA. However, some of the AAA players are doing pretty awesome since the mean average is 10K per month.
Also, I'm curious how many of these players have scholarships and play at universities as well. Does the NCAA allow baseball players to play in private leagues during the summer, if they play the regular season at school?
Finally, since we are super far off topic anyway, I'd like to see NCAA basketball leave the university altogether and just become minor league basketball OR I'd like to see all the coaches become unpaid "amateurs" as well. There is no reason the highest paid state employee is often some stupid coach, especially since most of the D-I schools lose money on their sports programs, hell, most lose money just on their "money making sport." (Also the point of university is the education not the sports.)

The NBA is unique in this because their players union lobbied successfully for guaranteed contracts, so you get your money no matter what. Whereas the NFL, which is its own weird set of really odd mandingo fighting issues, does not have such a contract structure so, if you're a running back and you blow out your knee in game 1 of your first season, too fucking bad.
It's racist because in just about any other profession (other than the NFL because of literal concerns for the physical safety of the human body, maybe) you could conceivably become an earning professional straight out of high school if you are skilled enough. Why do they insist on making people go to one year of college? To learn life skills? No. It is because if these dudes could go get paid right outta high school, then they would. And then people would lose interest in collegiate basketball, which by and large makes its millions off of the labor of an unpaid, largely black workforce. If the "good" players are going straight to the NBA, the product of the NCAA suffers.
Ergo...the rule.
Exploiting black labor to enrich already wealthy people has been done before.
Yeah it was called slavery. I have a very hard time comparing slavery to paying someone $20 million a year to toss a ball into a net.
You are being so ridiculous at this point that it seems like you are trolling.
I must have missed the part where NCAA basketball players are paid $20 million a year.
The lack of reading comprehension in here is like a troll unto itself.

You are correct. I did mis-read that, but then again, I'm a moron.
College athletes who generate millions per year for universities should absolutely be paid for their services, but you would still find it racist if the black players weren't making as much as the white guy that signs their checks.
Do you have a problem with companies that are run by black people but employ white people? Isn't that the same thing? One person of a particular race profiting off of someone of a different race?
Also, these sports/jobs are not being forced upon any of these people. If a guy has a problem with having to sit out a year before he can join the NBA, then he can choose a different career.

Understanding and acceptance of the reality of institutional racism are essentially table stakes in this discussion. The argument "well what about black people employing white people" only works in a vacuum where the practice of slavery, Jim Crow, and segregation never existed.

Skin color should have nothing to do with it, ask yourself why you are so loyal / faithful to him? Is it because Drew told you to be? Reynolds was hyped on Donta as well when Kader mania started, and where is he now? Just take a step back and judge people on their actual output not on the promise and hype being fed to you by ex pro skaters trying to be be visionaries. As Phelps said, Reynolds isn't the sharpest tool in the box. Kader is just another skater, he isn't the next Gino or Penny so stop hyping him as if he is some kind of landmark event. He isn't even worthy of this thread. When he drops a part with actual mind melting tricks (not just good for his age shit) then he has made it.
Fuck even saying FOCUS is a lame played out cliche, so I guess that fits.

Both have looked 12 since they come on the scene 8 years ago. Both have had their careers somewhat hyper-boosted by their 'coach' (Reynolds and Watson). Finally, both are black, which is the only true thing that defines a person's content...right?

Now that's what's up. Love to see it, I just thought Karl was in his corner.
I don't really have any insights/thoughts on Kader/Reynolds except that Andrew posts Kader-related content more regularly than he does of other team members. I mean, I don't have the data but I definitely see more of Kader than Zach.

Really? We are still talking about Kader? The kid had his shot, he blew it, the honeymoon is over. New rippers like Lil Dre destroy him. Kader will go down as the most overhyped non-event in skate history.
Kader for sure over hyped.
But please ‘splain this lil dre > kader comparison. I don’t see how they are linked.
Both have looked 12 since they come on the scene 8 years ago. Both have had their careers somewhat hyper-boosted by their 'coach' (Reynolds and Watson). Finally, both are black, which is the only true thing that defines a person's content...right?
While we are polling, I like Kader better since he seems to avoid that whole model-influencer persona that has taken over. That truck my push him over into that court though.
Karl gave Dre equity in the company.
Are people maybe overhyping the Reynolds as sempai/kohai with Kader? I doubt doubt he sees potential, but I think he just had more of a presence with Kader because he was a skate buddy with Stella
Now that's what's up. Love to see it, I just thought Karl was in his corner.
I don't really have any insights/thoughts on Kader/Reynolds except that Andrew posts Kader-related content more regularly than he does of other team members. I mean, I don't have the data but I definitely see more of Kader than Zach.
Well yeah because Kader is way better and way more liked than Zach

Let’s not forget the OP promised us a flailing Funkhouser flying down a famous flight to finish the fourth Baker film.

Lol, there’s not a whole lot of money to be made in professional skateboarding. You do you Kader.

LOVE ALL THE CONTEXT YOU GAVE HERE
left emerica for vans
Left indy for venture
Left rvca for supreme
All in the past 12 months...
-
I like Kader and I even have his swirls deck, but I would be nervous to dump Vans like that. I like to play it safe. If I had a “skate career” 99% of my energy would be focused on just not blowing it or ruing any goodwill between sponsors.
-
Did he left vans for nike?
-
hes flow for nike and adidas both. theyre waiting for him to post on instagram who he wants to be paid by
free max b
-
Yeah I just saw that he's wearing adidas in his last post. Well good for him i guess

Instead of getting pimped by the industry, Kader trying to pimp the industry. He learned it from Drew likely. Ya'll jussss hating!!!
