This might be because I’m viewing on mobile with no Instagram, but how does that account have 302k followers but barely cracks a thousand likes or a few thousand views per post?

Also why doesn’t the main cariuma account only show views on a few posts but no likes?

Idk why I care but it did interest me that Berra probably buys up all the followers on those accounts.

My opinion has completely changed in my 30s from my 20s.
Fuck it If the option is get paid or not get paid might as well get paid. If Nike was going to put him on legit they would of done it by now.
Also non Americans get more of a pass for dumb sponsors. They got shit to pay for and can't get a job or just be a bum and still hang out in California

I imagine the inner monologue of the pros who took Cariuma shoe deal went something like this:
I've sold out. A little bit of me has died.
But you know what? A lot of me doesn't give a shit.

It's only the miracle of consumer capitalism that means you're not lying in your own shit, dying at 42 with rotten teeth, and a useless wooden toy is not going to change that

This is the skate equivalent to selling your soul to the devil.
I mean, I guess he's getting paid good money now, but is it worth permanently staining your career?

Yeah, all the Lucases are related. Even the Lukases too. Lukas Haas is Puig's cousin-in-law.

Might be saying more than I should right now but they have an annual Lucas Convention. I got in once, pretended my name was Lucas. Most hedonistic event I've ever been a part of.

Paid followers or people only followed because Cariuma is a big company but they don't actually like them

That was unexpected, I thought he was already on Nike for sure (not only for his skating, but since he's so close to Luan and Gordo).

For those that don't know Lucas:

His Solus run was pretty wild too, landed tons of tricks in 12 minutes:

There are 100’s of skaters that have been amazing and didn’t have the patience to get legitimate sponsors, where are they now?  Looks like Lucas falls on the side of amazing with not much patience. No hate just stating the obvious

Mikey Taylor is a kook clearly but you can’t argue that he didn’t have patience when he stepped up on every brand he went to, Prod did the same both those kids had a ton of offers from brands before they left city stars and axion.  Example Nadia footwear

This really is depressing.

I'm also a bit bummed because I saw him on the way to becoming quite amazing. Now he's on team "skilled skaters with generic styles who no real shoe company wants to touch" so he'll probably end up like Kelvin Hoefler. Is Lutzka on yet?

TBH I already considered him in the Hoefler category, mostly because I find it hard to take Flip seriously as a company anymore.
