OMG Does this validate Arbor as a "Real" board company or it it a stop gap for Grayson to something as he figures out what to do after the fall of Element?
https://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/trash/arbor-welcomes-greyson-fletcher/ (https://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/trash/arbor-welcomes-greyson-fletcher/)
-
Theyve been validated since they gave Shuriken a board and Ace Trucks were included with all pre-made completes.
-
Times are tough when you gotta ride for a longboard company
-
all I got from that is that Greyson can't front fifty
-
Weird. I always thought he’d just get on blood wizard.
-
damn didnt expect that
-
Weird. I always thought he’d just get on blood wizard.
I know; RIGHT?!?
Seriously weird that didn’t happen.
I was so convinced it was a sure thing that I bought his new B-Wiz pro model & was just setting it up when I saw the news via banner advert.
Prolly just me, but does anybody else feel like dude has 5, maybe 6 tricks on lock & just does them big/fast?
Good for dude, I think(?)

Could’ve seen him on Krooked

Very weird that he’s not on bw because he's super close with Gregson. I can't believe he didn't at least give Madness a call since that's where all the socal transition rippers are w/ Clay, Ace Pelka, Fardell & Beckett. Creature would have been a good fit as well. He's def hesh enough for their brand

Lol I think everyone noticed that when he first popped up at that vans contest way back when.

Why would you buy a shit blood wiz when you can buy a vertical bamboo (which adds exponential strength to the board) arbor pro model? Dumbass....
-
idk what arbor is but this dude should def be on bw or creature. they let him announce one of those vans park series contests last year or the year before and it was actually impressive how terrible he was at it. legendary surf/meth family for sure and the kid rips transition tho.

Not that upset about it. With the ongoing drought in skate hardware, any company that has supply and is able to ship to skate shops is at an advantage. Maybe 'longboard' companies have been selling a lot of their 'regular' boards and started to go all-in and put teams together.
Realistically, Greyson would have been rad on Madness and Creature, but both these companies are already stacked with team riders. If Arbor is giving him a solid paycheck, why not? I've never skated one but their boards and clothes are organic. The wood grain looks pretty. Are Ace Trucks any good?
-
I hope they are cutting a deece check. The 4 tricks he does happen to be my favourite tricks, so I always love his footage. Gave a couple of his parts the BA treatment. He put this part out last year. I guess element passed on it.

Arbor makes good snowboards... I have one. I like the "idea" of striving for a sustainable business model. I dig the company, but not from a skating standpoint because well, ya know, longboarding
-
idk what arbor is

pretty sure its the latest alt right social media platform

disappointed in greyson :(
-
Im sure arbor is one of the only companies who can pay close to element. Im sure they going to try and legitimize the skate program.
-
What a weird ass company. So pro longboarders are a thing?
-
damn from nike and element to vans flow and this board brand :-X
madness woulda been a good fit or even Blood wizard as others called out.. must be paying him well.

They make reallllly good snowboards, like top of the line shit. And their (snow) team consists of some pioneers/legends of the game (Bryan Iguchi, Frank April, Eric Leon) I've been riding the Arbor Draft for like 2 years now, their snow brand is sick...Don't know how I feel about them stepping into the skate game but I do like the brand. I think Greyson fits pretty good for a sustainable snow-cum-skate brand. Also these Shuriken boards are dope....(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0085/5762/5410/products/arbd32025_1_1080x.jpg) 5boro-ish but I fucking dig it and we'll be givin them a crack
-
For what it’s worth, Arbor is not a good snowboard company - nobody thinks that. And I really doubt they have money to write a “deec” check. They are, aptly, a step down from Element in terms of brand respectability (and certainly sales) in any discipline. If your dorky uncle who “used to surf” wants to try snowboarding or something, he might get an Arbor, but that’s it.
edit - guess people do think it’s a good snowboard company. But per the above, it’s also people who “fuckin dig” those Ed Hardy lookin Shuriken boards and will be “givin them a crack!”. So....idk
-
Anyone know what happened with Fletcher at Nike?
I like Shuriken and including Aces on completes is really cool but I'm not feeling the art direction at all.

the amount of arbor's I saw in Canada in my 2 years there were ridiculous, and hell yeah i like it, I also bought the this 5boro (https://www.basementskate.com.au/images/P/5boro-nyc-fish-series-trout-8-25-skateboard-deck.png)
i've riden it for 2 days and the bottoms so messed up you can't even make out what it is. Let me guess your old now and buy boards to look at and not skate?
-
I was hoping to see ONE Grayson Fletcher clip without a damn ollie north. They almost made it the 51 seconds but snuck one in at the end. I'm good never seeing one of those from him ever again.

Used to work for the corp that Arbor is a part of. Everything that was interesting or potentially dangerous was pushed out by ownership and now they're just bland corporate skateboarding. It's all very boring and cynical and made me want to die. Kids, don't ever work in the industry side of skateboarding, it's fucking depressing

Get it wrong. Kook on people to try to look cool. Well played?
-
I don't understand how they can include Ace 33's on their completes at the price they sell. That's a good deal.
-
All I really care about is if their wood is any good. Do they have their own Woodshop?
-
I hadn't even noticed they have an ad on here until now. So it's a snowboard company that makes and sponsors longboarders and Grayson Fletcher?
-
Greyson is the modern day Tosh.....
-
no, he is definitely not. yall remember when this kid had to shave his beard because he "found lice and, like, hella other bugs in there bro." if anything this dude is the evan smith of longboarding, he can have that.
tosh came from a drugged out 70s surfdad but it ends there.

Not sure why I care, but Arbor fucking sucks as a snowboarding brand too. Just maybe slightly less than its skateboarding branch.
Weird to see Greyson sign with them, are times so tough he couldn't get on a real brand?
-
Is reverse camber the same as a drop board?
-
I thought Arbor was a NHS company? Maybe that was just cuz of the Shuriken Shannon connection.
If you on purpose skate to Bathory and you're friends with the Blood Wizard people and you chose to ride for Arbor then I really don't know what to tell you
-
Yo dick Greyson don’t let the haters bring u down and get that sweet sweet arbor mist money yo

No they joined absolute board co in 2017 which is penny and Z-Flex

Living in the mountains and having the vast majority of my friends snowboard in the winter, I can verify that Arbor is a highly respected snowboard brand.

HAHA,
lib tech is like the birdhouse of snowboarding. Capita and DWD are sick, the DWD owner blew us off (when I supervised a snowboard shop in BC) when trying to buy boards off them. Did meet the owner he's an actual legend tho. Still Salomon, Lobster, Bataleon, Nitro are all dope and GNU even if they are owned by lib. Never summers can suck me.
As for arbor it looks like it's just their skate brand that is under that company that houses zflex and penny which is a bummer, sucks to hear that they've kinda sold out now.

Is this longboard company worse then riding for element ? I honestly don't know...

Elements makes longboards and made snowboards atleast once.
Arbor is basically Element, with maybe a little less money.

as close of homies he is to whoever, thoes ocmpanies like madness, creature, and blood wizard probably dont want to kill thier underground vibe by having a mainstream kookster on it. these guys are very self aware of thier audience. having an ex-element rider and lets face it he is kinda hollywood with the dad and grandpa surfers all start rocking it. they may not want that kind of look on their brand idk. there is a following that comes with having ppl like that on your brand i think.

I can't speak on the quality of their snowboards but, they had a hot season or 2, 4-5 winters back where a decent amount of kids on the hill were fucking with them. Erik Leon and Mike Liddle both rule.
That 5Boro Santoro series is most likely cooler than anything arbor will put out. Shalom.

You base the ‘respectability’ brand off their videos more than their product? Scott is one of my favorite riders a for sure, but it doesn’t say much about the boards themselves. This ain’t skateboarding where its all 7-ply wood with pretty much same technology for the last 40 years.

For you being on slap for so many years I expect better posts from you. Please come back next time with some real comments and not some TMZ BS. Simple search and I found a video showing they have done collabs with each other. Plus speculating on someones family without knowing them is as kooky as it gets.

Blood Wizard put on Tristan Rennie last year. He is on the Olympic park team and wears a rockstar hat to sleep. I am pretty sure they don't give a fuck if you were on element.

My childhood friend works for capita I’ve had the same lib tech for like 10 years I just cruise I don’t really care about boards tbh but I would say capita art direction + their manufacturing is pretty on point compared to most snowboard companies. I like dwd art direction a lot.
It’s funny because from what I see the most sought after snowboards are the old skate brand collabs like shortys and alien

Just wanting to clarify, you talk about board company ‘respectability’ in your first post, and you name 2 companies.
One of which is kind of a small niche company, the other being a larger one. Neither are particularly outstanding from what I understand (the only DWD board I ever had was a piece of shit, actually), so I’m not getting how you rank respectability.
Your next two posts feature a video, and talk about art direction. So what I’m getting from you is ‘marketing is more important to respectability than actual product quality’.
Which makes me think you don’t actually snowboard that much, which brings me back to my first comment.

Holy fucking snowboard snob
I’m Getting a head ache reading your comments
A snowboard is literally wood metal glue resin materials and a drawing. A snowboard company is owners/workers/riders plus the products and Advertisements(videos and magazine photos)
I like dwd advertisements and the art on their boards.
I like capita for manufacturing in Australia and trying to be environmentally sustainable. The graphics are ok some seasons far better than others. I love their videos.
I definitely don’t snowboard much but I know a few people who do and I’ve never heard them complain about capita or dwd boards or jackets or whatever else.
So whose this “outstanding” company that I didn’t mention and you’re just so upset about???

The one naming companies like some kind of authority is you, not me.
“ The only respectable snowboard brands are capita and dinosaurs will die

I just wanted to check how much you actually know, since you acted like an authority. If you act like you know it all, be prepared for people to question it. .

I like capita for manufacturing in Australia and trying to be environmentally sustainable. The graphics are ok some seasons far better than others. I love their videos.
I definitely don’t snowboard much but I know a few people who do and I’ve never heard them complain about capita or dwd boards or jackets or whatever else.
So whose this “outstanding” company that I didn’t mention and you’re just so upset about???
::)
Take this shit to r/snowboarding

The only respectable snowboard brands are capita and dinosaurs will die

You need to snowboard more

Pretty much all set with snowboarding after this part haha
90% of snowboarders are trust fund party jocks anyway no thanks
You base the ‘respectability’ brand off their videos more than their product? Scott is one of my favorite riders a for sure, but it doesn’t say much about the boards themselves. This ain’t skateboarding where its all 7-ply wood with pretty much same technology for the last 40 years.
I’m cornfused
I shared one of my fav snow parts and that means I don’t like capita product?
My childhood friend works for capita I’ve had the same lib tech for like 10 years I just cruise I don’t really care about boards tbh but I would say capita art direction + their manufacturing is pretty on point compared to most snowboard companies. I like dwd art direction a lot.
It’s funny because from what I see the most sought after snowboards are the old skate brand collabs like shortys and alien
Just wanting to clarify, you talk about board company ‘respectability’ in your first post, and you name 2 companies.
One of which is kind of a small niche company, the other being a larger one. Neither are particularly outstanding from what I understand (the only DWD board I ever had was a piece of shit, actually), so I’m not getting how you rank respectability.
Your next two posts feature a video, and talk about art direction. So what I’m getting from you is ‘marketing is more important to respectability than actual product quality’.
Which makes me think you don’t actually snowboard that much, which brings me back to my first comment.
Holy fucking snowboard snob
I’m Getting a head ache reading your comments

The one naming companies like some kind of authority is you, not me.
“ The only respectable snowboard brands are capita and dinosaurs will die

I just wanted to check how much you actually know, since you acted like an authority. If you act like you know it all, be prepared for people to question it. .
I’m sorry you took that comment so serious. I am really interested in who your favorite snowboard brand is?!?
It must be so much better than mine considering neither are “outstanding” to you

Sorry to derail thread but fuck arbor skateboards.
It’s cool they are paying Greyson but would
He ever ride a arbor deck if they weren’t?
better than revive but worse than element
Might as well fast forward two years to his welcome
To blood wizard part

Can´t watch this dude skate because he points his toes outward while doing it. Thinking about it he kinda fits on a snowboard brand...

I did not fucking see this thread getting so contentious.

What the fuck are you morons even talking about.

Greyson Fletcher thread?, better post my favourite clip.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jN0g_QLjxE
Noticed the Flip deck, was he flow at any point? He actually would have been a good addition to the team
Bro I like that clip too, I mean I don’t really know the guy but to me at least, this is good skateboarding
There’s this Hurley clip from Bondi where jack is saying shit like fuck a chicken scratch I’m going five feet dude
Pisser
Each to their own for sure, but to me anyway this is skateboarding

Setting the snowboard talk aside, because literally no one cares... it would have been rad if Greyson had gone to Z-Flex, since they’re under the same parent company as Arbor.
Z-Flex is a storied brand with a sick history. I could get behind a 2021 Z-Flex revival.

Shoutout to Amelia Brodka. She never gives Jersey any love for being where she's actually from but it would be interesting to see an arbor video

I've seen the Z-Flex crew at the Venice park now and again, rippers.

One thing that always puzzled me about Element is that they signed all these top-level pros, who then all but… disappeared.
Like Jeremy Wray. Signed on Element, hardly ever released footage again.
Are they saving footage for some mega video that never sees the light of day?
So many other examples, like Apples, Chard TimTim and more.
Sign to Element… never to be seen again.

Sick handle
Again, used to work there. Absolutely no chance anything close to a revival is going to happen. They tried doing that in 2015 with the Mastercraft line w/ Dressen and George Wilson and they got rid of everyone who came up with that line. Cut the entire team, and started putting out Walmart level graphics. Z died with Jay

As far as I know Jay Adams and Jason Jessee were the ones who really pushed the 100% skateboarder thing. Not like either of those two have some questionable options or anything.

Edit* lib tech makes alright gear
HAHA,
lib tech is like the birdhouse of snowboarding. Capita and DWD are sick, the DWD owner blew us off (when I supervised a snowboard shop in BC) when trying to buy boards off them. Did meet the owner he's an actual legend tho. Still Salomon, Lobster, Bataleon, Nitro are all dope and GNU even if they are owned by lib. Never summers can suck me.
As for arbor it looks like it's just their skate brand that is under that company that houses zflex and penny which is a bummer, sucks to hear that they've kinda sold out now.
No love for Ride?

Sean genovese and Jeff keenan both rip. It's amazing what they've done with dwd. I also like what public is doing as a smaller brand.
Ride's done a great job rehabilitating their image. Adding jake welch, blauvelt, Jed and a new graphic designer have done wonders.

fully agree across all statements

I love my DWD board. Wish I sized up a little though.
Ride have had a better image the last few years. Huge Jake Welch fan since the Forum days. Felt like he’s always been underrated.

Yeah glad to see him bounce back after forums demise. Welch was right there with Pat Moore and John J in terms of consistently putting out solid parts from forum or against em onward.

Just dropping in to say that I would cop the heck out of one of those K2 X Birdhouse boards.

I understand what you are going through. I had Covid approximately one year ago, and I still don't have the same smell sense.

DWD doesn’t own a factory, lib GNU does, ride gets boards made through K2. If you like DWD you simply don’t understand technology. They produce 3rd generation technology

May I ask what the hell ‘3rd generation technology’ is? And how is it different to everyone else?
I had a DWD a few years ago and was not impressed at all.

I’m quite aware the K2/Ride connection and have ridden boards from both brands.
Not sure what the point of your post was.

Sorry I worded that terribly but what I meant is that they are made at a factory that will make boards for anyone. Generally these factories aren’t pushing new technology, generally just filling orders with what I consider outdated technology. I’ve been to about 8 factories in my lifetime and have seen it done both right and not so right. I used to work in the industry for about 18 years. The brands I worked with that didn’t own their factories never got the true improvement in product from year to year.
