per ig post. only comment he liked was one referencing hardies skateboards
-
Just posted a photo of him and Dill shouting out FA for the last nine years and "looking forward to the next chapter"

This was inevitable. Pontus was right that skateboard companies have 10 years. Will be interesting to see how FA adapts to this and evolves from it.
-
I’m guessing that means KB too?

Hmmm, I guess the Hardies boards thing wasn’t so far fetched 🤷♂️

Oh shit FA is actually gonna take a hit from this one.
They just lost a soty, I wonder were he is headed for a board sponsor from here. I have a feeling there is a chance that Tyshawn might start his own board brand (or turn Hardies into a board brand). He seems to have the mindset due to him starting Hardies and stuff so i am guessing he's most likely gonna start a board brand.

Some brands lose riders and are still sick.

Damn, Bryte Skateboards just picked up two heavy hitters.

Definitely wasn't expecting this ...

In FA's Post only Tyshawn and Nak were mentioned but I don't know if hes gonna stick around for much longer if they are gone.

The whole brand image is shaped by essentially the Supreme kids. Elijah and other riders were "cool" by proxy. They will still have amazing skaters, but what is the brands image now. Ty, KB, Nak, Sage, and Sean Pablo essentially shaped it for better and for worse
-
Hmmm, I guess the Hardies boards thing wasn’t so far fetched 🤷♂️
yeah, that could definitely happen now!
can't wait to see what comes next
-
damn, Hardies skateboards 🤔?
-
This was inevitable. Pontus was right that skateboard companies have 10 years. Will be interesting to see how FA adapts to this and evolves from it.
I do remember reading an interview where dill said around the beginning of fa (skateboards, not the thing he had going on prior), that he wanted to pull the plug out of the blue in ten years after it’s run.
So it goes.
-
Saw this in the Nak of FA thread
hardies. someone said hardies skateboards and it’s the only comment tyshawn liked
-
This was inevitable. Pontus was right that skateboard companies have 10 years. Will be interesting to see how FA adapts to this and evolves from it.
Real/DLX has had a long run, although maybe it never peaked like OG Plan B, Flip, or Girl, like FA did. Baker seems to be having a solid resurgence.
-
The timing of this is too close for me to not think they’re leaving for the same thing. Curious to see whether Sage and KB stay. Hardies makes the most sense.
-
i think FA owes a large amount of its success to benny maglinao. as long as he sticks around i think the brand will be okay even without TJ

Sure. Pull a Tarantino and retire while you’re on top. Why not?
Hardies as a board brand is extremely zzzz though.

i don't know if i would go off something Dill said a long time ago. i mean he thought jerking off onto a disguisting pair of etnies was a cool idea probably about 10 years ago

Interesting that is says "their future endeavor" rather than "endeavors". Is this an indication that they'll be working together on a new board company or is this a big bozo take?
-
damn gifted hater really called it.
-
they're actually freeing up space to put nakel back on
-
Just finally making room for Austyn
-
Well this definitely takes some of the stoke away from Nak leaving. Wasn't Tyshawn getting on his entrepreneurial shit and opening a restaurant or something? I mean it makes sense that he would want to leave while he's on top and focus on that. Nak too, I figured, would be wanting to run his brand and do music. Seems strange that the two would leave to start something together. If so, what a waste.
-
I don’t see any other board company he’ll fit on (besides Krooked). New board brand incoming…
-
I’m guessing that means KB too?
KB wouldn't dare, who else is gonna fund that bottomless aperol spritz tab?
-
Saw this on YouTube the other day. Nak is skating blanks in this with Hardies Grip. Not sure if it means anything.

Third FA brand for those who don't wanna milk their careers on Globe and Habitat
-
I mean Tyshawn has been pretty clear on IG of his financial aspirations. Obviously there is more to gain as a business owner than an employee so this was inevitable. I just didn’t think it would be so soon. Then again it makes more sense to do this in your prime than when you’re on the decline.

pretty sure you are reading it as it was intended to be read. they are starting their own brand. or building within the hardies brand which they both already co-own.

There’s no way he didn’t have inside info. Posts an FA analysis video (which is totally different from his usual videos) right before all this and calls this specifically. I think he’s actually getting more plugged in now so maybe less a prediction than speculation based on some solid rumors. Skate gossip reporter evolution of career?
-
biggest news of the year right here holy shit.
-
Hardies and tyshawn will survive . But if naks pulling all his sponsors from his bio leading one to assume he’s off DLX and adidas and this is his only sponsor he’s doomed. I give it a year and a half before I’m giving him a dollar at the sepulveda 405 exit ramp.

Not listing your sponsors on an IG profile isn’t the same as leaving all your sponsors. Stop spreading that bullshit fam.
Also the AO salt is golden lol.

Are we thinking this will be done through Supreme or whatever channel Bill is using for Violet or a totally independent thing (maybe even FA distro)? Be weird to see TJ in a video without Bill or his helpers behind the lens, love or hate his style pretty much all the footage we've ever seen of Tyshawn has been filmed by Bill.

the surprisingly amicable tone of both FA and Tyshawn/Nak's communication on this and the singular "future endeavor" with an ellipsis after leads me to guess that they're starting another board brand under the FA/Hockey umbrella, possibly with Tyshawn at the helm or both him and Nak? pure speculation of course

Fucking bummed that the last 3.5 years of Tyshawn footy in FA boards might not make it out now.. been patiently waiting for a part for too long now
Cant believe Louie Lopez is the big dawg on FA now..
Hopefully Louie, Sage and KB make the switch to Hardies boards, as they're already on the hardware team.
FA slow death starts now
-
I wonder if they do start a board brand if Nak is gonna decide who sells their gear based on if they'll regrip boards covered in dog shit.
-
lol at Alex Olson commenting “about time”
-
Would be a huge mistake not to steal Louie. Bout time they cut out the old man and made the money for themselves imo.
I’d love to see what Tyshawn, Louie and Sage could do with their own brand.
-
Agree with some of the other posters that hardies will prob be through FA, I would imagine there’s enough trust built into that crew that they’d make the move of fading an older brand for something more fresh. Like 101 and menace taking the stage after people left world for girl. Hopefully dill is smart enough to have it all happen under the same roof. Most kids don’t care/know about distros so they could milk the brand change and “drama” or whatever for marketing even tho it’s all the same money being passed around. That being said anything that amounts to a new Tyshawn part would make my heart sing (also fuck yeah for Tyshawn if he does his own distro and gets more money). And hopefully it means FA is gonna push for touzery to do a part as well to reinforce the brand cause I miss his skating dearly.
-
Does this mean Tyshawn and Nak FA boards will be going on sale?
-

We got a little bit from Mulhern
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVt5qhb6VcM
-
watch it not be Hardies and actually be Nak and TJ on April. Weird tone shift but I guess Nak has been filming with the April filmer.
-
take one look at the Hardies website and you can see this has been in the works, it looks just like the FA website. Also isnt this exactly what Dill did when he started FA as a board brand after it had been a clothing company
-
Great, so now he’ll be too focused on his board company to put out a new part like we have all wanted. It’s been what…how many years since his last full part?
-
They’re bringing it full circle and going to alien workshop.
-
It wouldn't surprise me much if Tyshawn drops a few parts later this year to get this going/possible soty run. He doesn't party etc to pile out and I bet he skates all the time, just been sitting on stuff ready for this launch. Even Nak seems to still be skating a fair bit so could easily see him dropping a part as well. Could this be the start of Dill becoming the new Rocco? Letting all the young bucks start brands under the FA umbrella like World in the 90s? Could easily see Aidan/Ben Kadow and others on other branch off companies with smaller niches and just keep FA as a less team-focused brand as it seems to do the numbers on it's own to hype beasts etc. Hockey seems to be really strong atm but their team is also very, very stacked so again a split off for a couple of riders would make sense. I think Dill has the awareness to actually help his riders set up their own thing under his distro rather than just have them fully jump ship, could lead to some really interesting stuff.
-
Hardies ain’t gonna last long as a bigger company if they continue with that art direction
-
Frankly I don’t see Hardies being all that lucrative compared to FA. Right now they make hardware, some clothes, and have a branded Mob Grip. They’re carried very few places. TJ is probably going to get business on name recognition alone, but actually creating a branding and art framework that will last a few years is probably harder than they think.
Now I know people will say “but he owns a restaurant”, but in fairly sure a Cajun (I honestly don’t know if it is) theme’d restaurant that you don’t really have to do any marketing, branding, or distribution for, is not a skate company.
-
They aren't leaving FA only to do a company under FA World Entertainment, they would simply move across, and there wouldn't be this announcement of them leaving.
Weren't Nak & Tyshawn the last two of the original kids to get on FA?
Also the comment from Alex Olson just look bad. Doesn't show up to his own companies premiere, is completely absent from his team, Nik & Vince leaving to go to a more stable home should have been a wake up call, instead he double downed on not caring, had very little to do with the videos or the team which is why most people were into your company in the first place, like, what do you actually have to be salty about?

I thought it was 20 years was the danger mark. I remember Carroll or a Crail dude getting that warning right before their anniversary and right after that it when they had their mass exodus
-
Damn so it’s definitely another board brand or what I’m assuming and so has others Hardies is gonna start making decks. I wonder if kb is gonna be next. Maybe if he is that means a kb part. I don’t like Nak but stoked for tyshawn. Also what’s the chances this could be under the FA umbrella? So dill still getting some kick back from it and that’s why it’s all love. Cause even if dill is stoked for tyshawn. Tyshawn leaving is a sizable blow to FA.
Saw this thread and copy pasted from the Nak thread and just read this thread and a lot of what I said others already have. My bad.

Nah sage has already pretty much quit skating, Louie already been on one dead brand and knows to stay where the checks at and kb in the same boat he isn’t about to throw away a good check when he’s gotten paid to do fuck all for the last 3 years. The only person going to this company is kevin white just watch.

20 years for those legacy companies sure, but Pontus made a great point in an interview which I can't seem to find now. If anyone knows the interview I'm talking about where Pontus talks about this, please link it!

I seen Kevin White skate a lot of Deluxe boards, so I wouldn't be surprised. IC isn't a board company, they just decided to do some merch and put out some skateboards.
Also I just realised I don't think Tyshawn has been in any FA edit for a long time now, maybe 5 years? He wasn't in Fuck a Rough Cut, Industrial Light & Magic, 402 E 9th Street. So other than having a board with them, he's hardly been apart of the team in that period.
-
kb’s first real part being on another brand 10 years after getting on FA is going to be hysterical
-
I like Kevin white. So if he got on hardies or whatever this is, id be stoked cause I can’t support IC. Shits too corny. Suburban kids trying to edgey and tough. If jolly became filmer on this would be cool too.
-
Y'all don't know how to connect the dots do you?
TJ/Nak free up salary space? On a Fat Bill associated brand? You know who else Bill films with? And is Supreme affiliated? And might be actually excitedly posting "about time"?
I wasn't supposed to say anything but

It will fall apart after few years. Due to lack of good management. Doesn't really have a chance. Teams not that hot either.
-
fucking awful
-
Hopefully TJ & Nak will put more footage out elsewhere. Weren't seeing shit from them on FA.
-
Tyshawn seems like a pretty smart dude, with his restaurant, hardware brand, adidas pro shoe, modelling career, he’s diversified his income streams. There’s no reason he can’t make a board company work as well. Good luck to him.
-
kb going off (not really) in his ig stories. don’t know how to post a picture from my phone, but they say: “don’t ask me no fuckin stupid questions” “y’all really think shit funny” “y’all don’t know how to read the room” wonder what this could mean

I think pontus' point wasn't like just can the company at ten years more you better be adapting to the times and getting new riders etc. Which he already sorta did with polar when he had to let most of the og team go and got new people on.

Great, so now he’ll be too focused on his board company to put out a new part like we have all wanted. It’s been what…how many years since his last full part?

Yeah I didn't mean they literally have 10 years and they are done, but there comes a time where a company has to evolve and continue to adapt. Some companies go through certain events and they are never the same.

Basically cause a street skaters career is like from age 15-40 at the max; dudes get vibed out after they peak.

Is Gifted Hater a Euro TM? We all knew TJ was gonna leave sooner than later. Hasn’t there been threads on this multiple times? Tyshawn even posted a Message on his story last year saying “go get my new board this might be my last one” or something close to that. I wish him success in his next chapter. If it is Hardies I hope he hires someone to help with art direction and branding. Currently it looks like more of a side project. Never saw a shirt or the hardware in the wild either.

As long as I can still get Tyshawn decks with bulldogs on them then I’m good, doesn’t matter if it’s FA or Hardies or whatever else. Excited for new stuff from Tyshawn dude will always have my support. Bummed that Nak will probably be involved though.

all the best to TJ. but i don't know if i can care even a tiny bit for company where nak is 1/2 or 2/3s of the team. on the other hand, i don't have to.
-
Tyshawn Jones doesn't need skating anymore and he's probably better of for it. The kid is no dummy. I wouldn't be surprised if their "future endeavor" involves something like real estate investment. However, it could just as easily be something as stupid as NFTs, especially since Nak appears to be involved.
However, if Hardies does become a board brand... as others have said, he needs a better art director. Aside from Shorty's has a hardware brand ever tried to move into a full blown board company?

I’ve been thinking of Primitive the whole time while reading this thread. Wasn’t a hardware company but anywho, that seems the most successful recent example of a big name rider going out on his own. Hope Nak doesn’t drag him down though

It's all just marketing. There's nothing legit in FA/Supreme world.

I meant specifically as a big pros side project that was then transformed into a board company I guess, but yeah, April has been successful too obviously

Is Gifted Hater a Euro TM? We all knew TJ was gonna leave sooner than later. Hasn’t there been threads on this multiple times? Tyshawn even posted a Message on his story last year saying “go get my new board this might be my last one” or something close to that. I wish him success in his next chapter. If it is Hardies I hope he hires someone to help with art direction and branding. Currently it looks like more of a side project. Never saw a shirt or the hardware in the wild either.
i'm not the biggest setup nerd but i perv on people's boards a little. can't say i've ever managed to id a stranger's hardware.

Going all in to make boards in a saturated market with a company that sounds like a fast food chain, a logo that looks like it was ripped off from Coach, and a really sound business mind like Nakel does seem like the smart thing to do.

I think the mistake in this thinking is to believe that many of these "board brands" like FA (and potentially Hardie's) exists to sell decks, when in fact they are soft goods companies who produce a handful of very expensive skateboards.

So did he also recently remove his other sponsor's links off his IG like Nak did? Or am I mistaken and he never had them on there?

As long as he’s on Adidas still and they continue to make his shoe.

Crazy thing is fa does pre orders almost a year in advance. I have some of tj and nak boards ordered for the fall. Wonder how that works now. Regardless, fa is way more than those two and just like plenty of other companies they will survive.

I think it's funny that everyone is acting like tj is some kind of business genius, who will create a succesful board company no doubt about it. He is just running a small restaurant in new york and co-owns a hardware company which i've never seen product of in any skateshop. Just because he's not some pile who is always drunk or on drugs doesn't mean he knows what he's doing.

I will swap:
FA for Toy Machine
Adidas for Emerica
Supreme for RVCA

Running a restaurant of any size seems a lot harder than running a board company because of all the employees and health codes that aren’t present w boards. Anyone would want to work with him so he could easily choose his favorite designers and have the boards drop shipped or something if he really wanted.
Agreed that I hope that hole will be able to skate and film more, but the year after his soty he had an article where he mentioned that he didn’t care much about being out filming Al the time, and then when they made candy land he was only there for his 4 tricks and bounced asap.
On thing that Fa brought in was the blunted deck shapes. I’ll be curious if there is a new shape associated with whatever is coming

Running a shitty board company is probably easier than running a more or less decent restaurant. But running a succesful board company is probably harder I would say.

Im guessing these guys didnt really get paid a ton from FA for them to be leaving to start heir own brand. If you look at the FA catalog from each season there is only like 10-15 boards and then a shit load of clothes. If each rider is paid by board royalties and there is only one or two graphics for each dude in a drop how much could it really be. Maybe they get a salary with royalties on top? IDK but FA is raking it in off the softgoods and im not convinced the riders get a big slice of that pie. FA even has one or two drops a year with only softgoods. I think starting their own board brand is gonna be tougher than they think. Slapping graphics on a deck can be done by anyone, what will they do to innovate that makes average people wanna skate their decks? Hype alone will only sell so many. Also the history of Primitive and FA shows they were established clothing brands before they added boards. Does Hardies have that level of sales yet? Judging from their website Im gonna say no. Theres not very much stuff on there and half of it is perpetually sold out. They cant wait too long to drop the goods and need some videos/media asap.
-
Whats crazier, quitting FA or bringing Nak with you?
-
I have trouble seeing how some of these brands with absolute shit graphics keep in business. I guess they just care about supporting their favorite pro which nak and tyshawn probably have enough of to keep a brand afloat but based on nak's brand and what i've seen from hardies there is not a lot of creativity there. Either way, doesn't impact me, interested to see where it goes.

It should be obvious by now that FA is a lifestyle brand that uses a handful of relatively expensive and hard to get decks in order to justify selling soft goods. This is the future model for any modern skate brand.

The reality is Tyshawn will have success with whatever he does, would be sick if he started a board brand seperate from Hardies even. He never really wore a lot of FA to begin with, and I dont even associate him with the brand as much as other dudes on FA or Hockey. Tyshawn being involved has probably been a huge part of FA's success over the past few years. The post SoTY FA diamond chain was iconic.
Ultimately random to have the billboard boy, king of New York Tyshawn in the same video as So-cal cabbage patch kids like Diego Todd and Aiden Mackey doing dirt rides to manual in some drainage ditch. I'll be juiced on whatever TJ does even if it is just more bedazzled bachelorette party looking trucker hats. Either way he should film more, his skating is a rare treasure.
-
TJ and Nak could be the perfect yin and yang of any company, I'm sure they both felt held back by Dill's control.
Nak will make noise wherever he is (love him or hate him) and TJ could be like the puppet master behind the scenes guiding him what to do next. They just need to find their groove before they lose their je ne sais quoi.

They honestly need someone strong behind the scenes running it. I'm not a huge fan of how Primitive or April are run, but they are essentially run by strong industry vets in Clements and Heath Brinkley with big name pros as the face of the brand. There is a ton of behind the scenes management required to make a brand successful on a large scale. As I don't think these guys want to start small and organically grow big like Palace, or on a much smaller scale than that Sci-Fi Fantasy.

When Yonnie got the boot from Chocolate, some of his deck designs just went to different Chocolate riders. That's why Stevie had a board featuring the PR flag despite being Mexican. That's probably what will happen with FA.

Tyshawn Jones doesn't need skating anymore and he's probably better of for it. The kid is no dummy. I wouldn't be surprised if their "future endeavor" involves something like real estate investment. However, it could just as easily be something as stupid as NFTs, especially since Nak appears to be involved.
However, if Hardies does become a board brand... as others have said, he needs a better art director. Aside from Shorty's has a hardware brand ever tried to move into a full blown board company?
Lucky? Wasn’t Steven Cales their Pro?
Sanch too.
Pretty wild Tyshawn left FA.
Monkey stix? Where they boards or hardware first?
Monkey Business did hardware and wax before creating Monkey Stix with Enrique Lorenzo as their pro.
Lucky boards had Sanch, Cales, and Jack Curtin.
Doh Doh did boards for a little and had Mike Wright from NY.
Wasn’t Doh Doh the Shortys bushings?
Yup, they had decks for a very short while.

I guess I’m shocked that were their own separate thing and not just Shortys graphics.
I was just thinking the other day how I was 14 at the peak of Shortys and a perfect mark for them to market silverados, dooks (risers and shock pads), doh dohs, black cat bearings, and black magic grip that it was far too long before I realized I didn’t actually need riders or shock pads, etc

I think it's funny that everyone is acting like tj is some kind of business genius, who will create a succesful board company no doubt about it. He is just running a small restaurant in new york and co-owns a hardware company which i've never seen product of in any skateshop. Just because he's not some pile who is always drunk or on drugs doesn't mean he knows what he's doing.
Am i missing something?

I was the same. Never wanted to waste the time of the older guys in my local shop so would always make sure to buy something. Never used any of it.
Memory might be playing tricks on me, but did they have distinctive teams for each subset? I think I remember someone having a check out with Doh Doh's listed as a sponsor.

How serious a company were doh dohs? I think I thought it was just shorty's making fun of the birdhouse,flip, world, blind boards of the time with dumb cartoon characters on them. (Or maybe just trying to capitalise)

Ultimately random to have the billboard boy, king of New York Tyshawn in the same video as So-cal cabbage patch kids like Diego Todd and Aiden Mackey doing dirt rides to manual in some drainage ditch. I'll be juiced on whatever TJ does even if it is just more bedazzled bachelorette party looking trucker hats. Either way he should film more, his skating is a rare treasure.
This ;D
Also, excellent point about Aidan and Diego Todd. I still think it’s weird that Aidan is on FA when he has tried being more Hockey than Hockey since Blessed.
-
I wonder who will move to FA to fill their spots on the team and add freshness to the brand. I'm drawing a blank though.

Palace would be weird, but it's probably the one board brand that clearly makes significantly more money than FA. Outside of being on Adidas with Chewy, Benny, and Lucas, I'm not sure if he has any connection to Palace, and given Palace's history they really don't care how good you are if you aren't good homies with the team/Lev (Hence the list of guys they turned down). Even with all their success, the only really big name they added was Lucas, and to a lesser degree Brady and Benny (who were already PWBC, Brady was Lev's roommate). Whatever sales boost any rider would give them is probably a rounding error revenue wise given what they already pull in on apparel, so they aren't in a position where they want big names for sales boosts. If Isle is done, the most logical fit would be for Nick Jensen to get on, as he's old-school PWBC.
Still think TJ is most likely to create his own brand.

I'm skeptical. Baker seems like a team that takes care of it's riders well as long as they're doing their job and I'd figure reynolds to give real advice based on his experience. If kader jumped I wouldn't be surprised if he jumped again shortly after, solely based on his shoe moves.

Palace Wayward Boys Choir. Basically refers to a group of London-based skaters who lived in cramped skate houses or were constantly staying with them (ironically calling it the places they lived palaces and wayward due to always moving around. The crew before it became a brand I believe when it comes to established names was Lev, Brady, Jensen, Andrew Brophy, Benny Fairfax, Snowy, Rory Milanes, Ollie Todd, Lucien, Charlie Young and Chewy Cannon. So most of the names from that crew eventually ended up on Palace outside of Brophy, Jensen, and Snowy. Jensen had one of the few guest tricks in Palasonic due to his connection to them and the fact the Victoria benches were a spot he always hit.

I wish TJ all the best and hope to god Na kel isn’t calling any shots - hot headed loud mouth with nothing to say. Also seems like he’s one more idiotic move away from being shunned by a lot of people.
If they’ve hired the right people behind the scenes, then with Tyshawn’s drive I think it could be fairly solid.
- I really hope Palace’s new pro is one of those new Chocolate guys, the rot at crail is deeply ingrained after reading that Carroll interview.

I wish TJ all the best and hope to god Na kel isn’t calling any shots - hot headed loud mouth with nothing to say. Also seems like he’s one more idiotic move away from being shunned by a lot of people.
If they’ve hired the right people behind the scenes, then with Tyshawn’s drive I think it could be fairly solid.

It’s good to see them with a lot of product on the website. There were some lean years on the site. I haven’t checked it in close to a decade
Remember shortys snowboards? I thought their logo was tight but i might have been wearing little kid blinders looking back

i think FA owes a large amount of its success to benny maglinao. as long as he sticks around i think the brand will be okay even without TJ
100%. I personally only buy FA cuz their graphics and videos are still amazing

these dudes better have some solid managers/investors guiding them. seems like chasing money and fame is the wrong way to go when you are already on a brand that requires nothing of you to get paid.

FA is going to be fine. Nak was already done - and now dropped by all his sponsors - that's life. I'm not going to deny Tyshawn is an amazing talent, but it's been 4 years since his SOTY and he's not exactly a footage machine. Good luck to him, if Tyshawn can flip Hardies into a successful board/lifestyle brand (say like Primitive) then he truely is a business genius.

Shortys slimmed down the hardware first as I remember. They made the heads smaller and stopped the thread from going all the way up. They got popular fast…. Boards just looked better & the hardware was stronger. Plus they had a team! They had a lot of momentum & really created (reinvented?) the bolt/hardware market. I’m sure that’s why they had money to start a board brand.

Shorty’s hardware was massively popular before the board company existed.
That Shorty’s hardware logo was Anti Hero Eagle levels of iconic in the 90’s everyone from Kareem Campbell to Christian Fletcher were sporting the Shorty’s logo shirts. Rosa gave them some extra hype too.

I just said the very least. I’m def into more than just them. Also, LL kinda transcends his board sponsor. He just exists and releases footage and isn’t tied to FA edits like most of their riders seem to be

It’s my favorite logo even tho there’s so many better ones.
It was the first skate company I’d ever heard of and I think that plays a huge part
Anyone know what it’s based on? Bazooka gum, mxpx and topps have used something similar that I’ve actually seen
Edit: bazooka and topps are the same. Bazooka writes “original” in the upper left corner like shorty’s

according to olson / muska, shorty's was extremely successful before it was ever a board company. In the early 90s there were a lot of Hardware gimmicks. It seemed like a lot of companies were trying to do something innovative, but actually in the end, it just needed a lower profile underside of the head that doesnt dig in to the wood so aggressively like a standard flat head machine screw.
From what I can tell, the combination of Tony B being a good salesman and getting his product in all the shops, on top of that he had a lot of top pros repping his stuff (probably just gave away a lot of t-shirts and bolts which i imagine did not cost him a hell of a lot) he had a pretty good marketing plan (so many memorable ad campaigns in the mags from shorty's.) Silverado's was hugely succesful as well because the first brand to use a different color to distinguish nose/tail.
shorty's by no means was a very original idea, it just had the right people involved and it was a very honest product. it was pretty lucky that it was actually successful because it really wasnt doing anything different. I think thats why it didnt really last. The bolts filled a massive gap at the time but the boards and the rest of the products were really just one downs of what other companies were doing. I am sure he was not the first person to come up with this type of bolt for skateboard hardware, he just managed to hit the market hard and fast at the right time.
When they first launched the board brand (and the rest of the brands), they acutally had boards made for an entire TWO YEARS before they were even released to the public, just so the team could use those boards to film FULFILL THE DREAM. thats why it seemed like those early graphics from shorty's ran for ages - cause they acutally did. No one else has ever done anything like that since and likely would never be in a position to do that again with the rate at which footage is put out these days. That is a huge tell of how succesful the shorty's hardware was before the rest of the brands were launched.
so the main thing i want to tie this back into the original post... a hardware company was only able ot be that succesfful back then because of the climate. as a side thing it was just whatever -hardies does not have major distribution. They may be working with someone or a team of people now though who are making moves to put their product in the places it needs to be. until that happens then it will never get off the ground. could take a long time for anything to happen with it.
-
Thanks Rawbertson, I didn't know most of that and I was a sucker for Shorty's in the 90s. (I still only use Silverados bolts to this day—you just can't beat them and they are more hella tight than Diamond.)
-
Worth noting that it was Shorty’s that popularized two features prevalent in most every skate bolt currently sold: the rebated head w/ shallow pan (as noted by Rawb) AND the unthreaded shank which reduced bolt breakage & bending considerably.
We kinda take that shit for granted anymore these days, but Buyalos was a sharp fella & was giving skateboarders what they needed with them hardwares.
Homey had already honed his biz acumen w/ a pretty successful underground brand (Small Room).
I suspect he was going to enjoy some measure of success, regardless of what category of skate product he brought to market.
RIP Tony.

Is Gifted Hater a Euro TM? We all knew TJ was gonna leave sooner than later. Hasn’t there been threads on this multiple times? Tyshawn even posted a Message on his story last year saying “go get my new board this might be my last one” or something close to that. I wish him success in his next chapter. If it is Hardies I hope he hires someone to help with art direction and branding. Currently it looks like more of a side project. Never saw a shirt or the hardware in the wild either.
i'm not the biggest setup nerd but i perv on people's boards a little. can't say i've ever managed to id a stranger's hardware.
Haha yea I’d say it’s pretty hard to identify someone’s bolts. I meant the hardware for sale in a local skate shop or even someone wearing the clothing.

I have never seen any Hardie's merch or bolts in skateshops here in France or merch at parks/comps. Any EU pals have?

Wouldn't be suprised if AVE, Dill, and Benny encouraged TJ to do his own thing, their program is already huge. FA and Hockey will stay killin it, Hardies should do boards, bolts, softgoods and go under FA's distribution. Kader should join. One big happy family.
If not, theres plenty of room for an NYC based board company with Tyshawn at the helm, and plenty of people that would throw money at it. Secure the bag at all costs

That is a huge tell of how succesful the shorty's hardware was before the rest of the brands were launched.
The wave(bluish team deck and the white muska) the muska stomach tat, and the wounded soldiers decks all came and went before those iconic graphics, I remember that. Fulfill hadn’t come out yet.
I’m not gonna pretend I was there before but church of skatan/early shortys boards were on my radar in Jan 97 before I bought my first board. I don’t remember there being Olson and Smolik boards until right before/after fulfill
However, seems like someone needs to start a “Shorty’s and Related Brands” thread because it really has nothing to do with the TJ leaving FA news.
TJ leaving Fa and turning hardies into a deck brand is literally the shortys hardware to board brand scenario for the 21st century skate rat. It’s not exactly the same but similar. It was a huge mistake business wise and a great cautionary tale for anyone doing business. That’s why it was brought up.

i always thought of hardies like a fantasy brand. there's probably a few shirts around some people got to rep the name and they probably made a run of bolts that the homies got. i literally have no clue how that product would look. it's sort of like hardbody, but with even less product. and i was stoked for hardbody products and disappointed when it wasn't much at all and also very unavailable where i live. but i was stoked on their vid.
can anyone confirm hardies product actually exists? has anyone ever seen stuff for sale? i reckon it must be at supreme of all places?
EDIT:
also, about being tj being a restaurant owner, that's super sick and i think it's dope that he branches out from skateboarding. but owning a restaurant isn't necessarily managing it. no doubt he is somewhat involved, but i doubt he does shiftplans, orders produce and shit, or does anything more than check in regularily with his shop manager, accountant and hr person. which might be just one person.

I just remember some comments that alluded to Kader getting in a squabble for being too much of a jokester.
I used to be deep in the Instagram trenches as a teenager. Shit is so cancer.

It’s not even comments it’s documented in his thrasher thing and I think another video has like the supreme dudes bout to beat his ass in the van for playing too much. There’s a reason you don’t see him with Zach and t funk as much anymore despite those 3 all growing up together.
Plus kaders kind of his own brand at this point , kids love him , don’t see him trading that for a spot where he isn’t the star of the show.

When they first launched the board brand (and the rest of the brands), they acutally had boards made for an entire TWO YEARS before they were even released to the public, just so the team could use those boards to film FULFILL THE DREAM. thats why it seemed like those early graphics from shorty's ran for ages - cause they acutally did. No one else has ever done anything like that since and likely would never be in a position to do that again with the rate at which footage is put out these days. That is a huge tell of how succesful the shorty's hardware was before the rest of the brands were launched.

However, seems like someone needs to start a “Shorty’s and Related Brands” thread because it really has nothing to do with the TJ leaving FA news.
Work on that reading comprehension kook
The point you are missing is that Shorty’s bankrolled money from cornering the hardware market whereas no one knows where you can actually buy Hardies in real life. You would only know about Hardies if you care about TJ and a few of his friends. Shorty’s appealed to all skaters.
TJ has shoe money which gives him padding and he isn’t wasting his life. Let’s not pretend he doesn’t also have an insanely huge ego.

In one of his interviews all he talked about was how much money he was going to make and went on and on about that, but in a pretty egotistical way. He had gotten SOTY, but had had maybe 2 adult parts at that point and although I really like his skating he’s not nearly at that level of a career yet.

I'd just be bummed if we didn't see another part from him before he leaves pro skating behind, which I've gotten the impression he wants to do sooner than most people. Based on that interview mentioned you mentioned. I remember reading this too and also a video interview that came off the same way.

I mean it's fairly clear. Tyshawn has had a lot of clips and one solid part as an adult. If you compare him to Reynolds, Reynolds had more actual parts and clips AND Baker Bootleg before Baker was its own brand. He was widely respected and clearly understood the infrastructure required to run a company. Tyshawn also won SOTY and is amazing, I love his footage, but its depth and his maturity is not on par. He was a kid in Cherry, his part in Away Days is rarely discussed so we are then left with Blessed and his clips in the other Supreme videos. Reynolds had The End, Feedback, multiple 411 parts, and a handful of early kid parts in Birdhouse and Tracker videos. You could also include Baker Bootleg if you want. I really don't think you can compare Birdhouse and Emerica to Tyshawn being groomed by Supreme, Bill, etc. Or like, compare it to the dudes that started Enjoi. No SOTYs, but again all had many full length parts to their name as well as coverage in other videos and definitely seemed to form a stronger team than Nak hanging on Tyshawn's coattails. And I don't recall any of these dudes spending interviews yammering on about money and how rich they are blah blah blah.

Shut the fuck up. Do you really think he's gotta have a few more parts before he can make a successful business? Stop comparing him to Reynolds. Show me two interviews where he's "yammering" on about money, fuck it just show me one. He's 23 and wildly successful, who gives a fuck what he says. You'll still watch his clips and you'll probably even buy his boards

"My brain smooth. Pretty. No wrinkles." type of comment when you're talking about somebody who has signature shoes with adidas, a restaurant, has been hired for multiple modeling campaigns, all before the age of 25. Running a board brand is probably the easiest thing Tyshawn could do at the moment.

Templeton, Reynolds, Rick and Mike, Tony hawk, Rodney Mullen all started some of the longest running board companies in their early 20s. (Even earlier for girl)

I'm not I just don't think he is the super saavy entrepreneur that will probably run a successful board brand that can bring him the kind of wealth he proclaims he will have.

If he finds the right people to run it for him sure. A small local restaurant is easier to do than a company with a global supply and distribution chain but if he gets a good distributor he should be fine. My point is that the things you list simply aren’t the same and this is a different type of challenge. Modeling: hired for looks and status, a pro shoe isn’t something he had to manage at all himself other than promoting, and I do think it’s impressive that he did it so young.
You’re also right that it’s not 1999. That can help and hurt him as the attention span of the people buying boards is fickle. That plus having less coverage than past board brands that lasted AND were big leads me to believe it’ll be harder than it seems. At least in the Bay I’ve never seen a kid on a Tyshawn board, but see his shoe a lot. Maybe his own brand and separating himself from the FA image might help.
I went back and read his interviews. The GQ one was the one that rubbed me the wrong way at the time. In re-reading it it seems that they edited specific quotes to be sensationalized more. His Complex interview seems way more humble. I’m fully able to admit that my perception of his attitude was not justified and incorrect. I’m not infallible and referencing Reynolds just because there are not many SOTY skaters that started a board brand that lasted at a young age. It’s clearly not the same time or media environment. These are all valid points that I won’t pretend to dismiss.

He as TM, Marc and Louie did the art, and the team was fairly involved early on. I believe that sorta changed to Matt and Mark doing management and art respectively with riders consulted here or there. I was just picking brands where riders left their old companies for a new brand that had its own image and lasted. It’s not a 1:1 comparison and is more banter fuel than trying to be a historical fact check or something.

Good rally here, I like it.
I cannot forget that horrible story about a young Tyshawn and all of that cash in the house going missing. The amount of pressure/stress is heartbreaking. A situation like that would absolutely change one, on a fucking molecular level, to be about the money. Can’t blame him.
I’m older, from a totally different socioeconomic background, and would probably prefer my skate heroes/heroines/people to be less capitalistic, but…that’s the game we are in.
Running a successful skate brand has to be difficult. I hope more youth get empowered and go for it. My favorite companies were started young, and were better young. How many of your favorite bands released their best shit in their 40-50s?

So what you're saying is, you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. You completely missed the point. Tyshawn's board brand is white label. He'll have no problem finding a distro for it, the same way he'll have no problem finding somebody to press the boards. This is why everybody and their cousin started a board brand in the last 10 years. And Tyshawn's connections, exposure through modeling, and other avenues will be more than enough to get the brand's popularity out there.
It's a bummer that an interview rubbed you the wrong way but I'm not sure your opinion really carries any fucking water at all.
-
Damn you sound really angry. I had an opinion based on vague memories and updated it with new information and, like an adult, openly admitted there were gaps in it. Given that I have many interests, a life, and a job it might make sense that I don’t perfectly remember a 3 year old interview 100%. Given that this is a skate message board and not anything that matters I did not go back and re-read everything I’ve ever read about him. I’m sure you have never ever had a similar experience in life because judging by your tone you take an extremely dyadic view of things. I’m sure everything you’ve ever said about skating is 100% fact checked and historically accurate with a detailed bibliography and appropriately formatted citations.
Given how fast brands come and go I do not believe that any brand is inherently guaranteed long term success. I don’t think anyone can dispute that Hardies isn’t exactly a beacon to use as a reference point since they produce perhaps the easiest thing to sell in skateboarding and almost no shops actually carry it. Boards will be easier if he finds a good distro but I don’t know who that would actually be. Hopefully he hires good people to actually manage production, shipping, inventory, distribution, etc as he’s likely not had to do any of this shit with any scale at Hardies.

Totally angry. Flipped a table every time you replied. Shit. Just did it again.

Y'all need to log out and go skate. Getting way too heated on a Monday morning over someone that I'd be willing to bet neither of you know personally.
As far as Tyshawn running a successful board brand, it's a no brainer. Dude's determined and smart enough to make the right decisions to get him this far. I don't doubt he's got the wits and ability to carry that further and really cement his standing in the industry.
-
I want the record to reflect that my first fa board was a Tyshawn one I bought cause he was soty. been a fan of the shape ever since. ive skated 2 tjs, 1 nak, and 1 where nak and kb fused like gohan and trunks to become "nakb"
-
alright man we'll be sure to have that on record in our files
-
lots of people in the industry rep hardies. wouldn't be surprised if there is a pretty large shake up in the works. props to TJ for continuing to go for it. i've heard hardbody out of NYC could be involved.
other than quasi, are there any other major east coast board brands in the mix?
can confirm it will not be under the Supreme umbrella. Nak burned that bridge.
-
I think you guys expect a too high payment
from the board sponsor.
Even if the new brand isn’t that successful he will
make more out of it then with FA.
Surly FA paid him better the the majority of board brands paid there pros- but getting profit from each product your brand sales - all hardware and softgoods - partly direct online full price. is much better then just a small Fixum + 2 dollar each pro board.
I am not worried about Tyshawn, but also not really hyped about the new thing coming.
We will see - may he surprise us… with something special and totally new…

The worst aspect of Tyshawn doing a board brand is getting even less footage than we already do. I take MJ as an example when he was doing a lot of stuff for Enjoi as he claims it affected his skating and stressed him out a lot trying to juggle 2 things at once.

When they first launched the board brand (and the rest of the brands), they acutally had boards made for an entire TWO YEARS before they were even released to the public, just so the team could use those boards to film FULFILL THE DREAM. thats why it seemed like those early graphics from shorty's ran for ages - cause they acutally did. No one else has ever done anything like that since and likely would never be in a position to do that again with the rate at which footage is put out these days. That is a huge tell of how succesful the shorty's hardware was before the rest of the brands were launched.
I’m not gonna pretend I was there before but church of skatan/early shortys boards were on my radar in Jan 97 before I bought my first board. I don’t remember there being Olson and Smolik boards until right before/after fulfill

However, seems like someone needs to start a “Shorty’s and Related Brands” thread because it really has nothing to do with the TJ leaving FA news.
Work on that reading comprehension kook
The point you are missing is that Shorty’s bankrolled money from cornering the hardware market whereas no one knows where you can actually buy Hardies in real life. You would only know about Hardies if you care about TJ and a few of his friends. Shorty’s appealed to all skaters.
TJ has shoe money which gives him padding and he isn’t wasting his life. Let’s not pretend he doesn’t also have an insanely huge ego.
I dont have social media so maybe I’m missing something but TJ has never struck me as someone with an ego. Seems like he lets his skating do the talking, and it’s fucking sick.
In one of his interviews all he talked about was how much money he was going to make and went on and on about that, but in a pretty egotistical way. He had gotten SOTY, but had had maybe 2 adult parts at that point and although I really like his skating he’s not nearly at that level of a career yet.
What does that even mean? Dude skated a moving construction vehicle in traffic and ollied a fucking subway entrance. He’s absolutely murked NYC spots that have been there for decades that no one has dreamed of skating like he has. Tyshawn is the best skater of his generation with so much to show for himself both on and off the board and is only 23 years old.
Nobody fucking cares about that shit especially with that snotty fucking attitude. Best skater of his generation … lol

Why do we think Brick is underwear? I assumed that was the board brand not Hardies
I've seen it. It's underwear. The packaging looks like little gold bricks.

Why are people ascribing any move made outside of skateboarding as some kind of brilliant move?
Hardies - exists for tax purposes
Restaurants - one of the worst investments you can make with money. Probably was done as a favor to a friend/family which is a situation that never works out well if you were to go by precedent set by athletes 100 plus times.
I doubt he gets paid a lot of do his runway shows, just like PRod probably makes his gas money back on the “Brothers Garcia” reboot he acts on as the 10th lead.
If he was smart, he’d buy up and store all the beach sand he can get his hands on. That shit will be at a premium in the coming decades.

In America its really cool and noble to be a businessman. No real need for details or to take it any further than that. If you own a business, you’re “out there doing it.” The rest of us are “in here” and presumably “not doing it.”

I once overheard a couple of 10-12 yo boys talk about Vetements which was apparently the hot shit because they made sweatpants that cost $700.
But imagine the meetings at these fashion houses…
”I know we are trying to make high end womenswear, but based on our research there are great opportunities in the teenage boys segment after we got name dropped by some rappers last week.
So we need to come up with some products to sell them.”

I don't think anybody is actually confused or anything about brick being a penis the problem is brick has meant a turd since forever so changing slang to that is just kinda weird. Like if you started using touching cloth to mean getting a boner.

I mean it's fairly clear. Tyshawn has had a lot of clips and one solid part as an adult. If you compare him to Reynolds, Reynolds had more actual parts and clips AND Baker Bootleg before Baker was its own brand. He was widely respected and clearly understood the infrastructure required to run a company. Tyshawn also won SOTY and is amazing, I love his footage, but its depth and his maturity is not on par. He was a kid in Cherry, his part in Away Days is rarely discussed so we are then left with Blessed and his clips in the other Supreme videos. Reynolds had The End, Feedback, multiple 411 parts, and a handful of early kid parts in Birdhouse and Tracker videos. You could also include Baker Bootleg if you want. I really don't think you can compare Birdhouse and Emerica to Tyshawn being groomed by Supreme, Bill, etc. Or like, compare it to the dudes that started Enjoi. No SOTYs, but again all had many full length parts to their name as well as coverage in other videos and definitely seemed to form a stronger team than Nak hanging on Tyshawn's coattails. And I don't recall any of these dudes spending interviews yammering on about money and how rich they are blah blah blah.

I’m glad slap is coming to the accurate conclusion I’ve always griped about that Tyshawn doesn’t put out nearly enough footage. He is objectively one of the most naturally gifted skateboarders of all time but he coolguy’d himself out of the producing parts game at like 19 lol. Does he have the fewest video parts of any SOTY ever?

He releases footage like it’s 20 years ago/pre solo internet part. Nothing wrong with that, but I’m not desperate for his new footage.
Dane Brady, on the other hand, can go to heck for making me wait for a new part for this long

Is he sarcastically celebrating? Looks like it's already coming out before he's turned around. I thought a brick was when you just throw and ugly shot that smashes the back board with no chance of it going in like throwing a brick into a window.

Not reading through the nonsense.
everyone including dill knew it was a matter of time. Kinda funny Nak took it upon himself to make it about himself tho. Would have been cool if that note from dill was the first official thing we saw that they were out. Whatever tho it ain’t 2013
Now that I don’t work at a shop I don’t pay attention to catalogs and shit, were there any signs (less or even no graphics in the upcoming season)? or is this so mutual that he’s not gonna do anything until they get all his current (new?) boards outta the warehouse. Seems like the type of kid that sells alot of boards. On the other hand, cant imagine too many people go out of their way to get a Nak board. unless they just want a certain size fa/hockey and the only one left has his name on it.
Any sign Tyshawn is leaving supreme? I figured that was the move until that little Johnny clip came out the other day. Thought he would have already been on LV or Gucci by now.

Kinda unfair considering most of his footage is in Supreme montages. He’s had stuff in Candyland, Mind Goblin, and Stallion. He also skates on IG a ton. You’re trying to use a late 2000’s metric to judge a 2020’s pro.

Stoked on TJ getting some of his own.
He seems sharp; I have faith in him.
What I don’t get though, is why he’d follow in the faltering footsteps of skateboarding’s fallen Nazi angel, 1010, as far as branding goes.

lol people still put out individual parts or full parts in videos. I guess I can see why he does things the way he does, it’s just a bummer to not get full parts from him to watch. He’s mindblowingly good

I actually think he puts out the perfect amount of footage
Some people i want to say almost put out too much footage!! even though they are goats like Jamie Thomas, Ishod, Foy, Suciu, Tiago Llemos... etc but the fans want to consume the content. A lot of people just want to watch these guys, or probably thousands of other guys as well, just pushing down the street they are such fans. So why not put out content if yo uare able to? seems to make sense.
But...
It dilutes your brand.
Tyshawn really is like a sasquatch, often talked about in a legendary sense, but rarely seen.
Think about some of the best style skaters of all time. Penny, Mariano, Gino, Popps, Wenning, Jake Johnson, Tim OConnor.
also in those cases they just piled out / lazy / over it. There is that side of it too. Which he very much could be. There is a lot more to life than skateboarding. I imagine he has put in more hours on the board than any one on this entire board.

Im guessing these guys didnt really get paid a ton from FA for them to be leaving to start heir own brand. If you look at the FA catalog from each season there is only like 10-15 boards and then a shit load of clothes. If each rider is paid by board royalties and there is only one or two graphics for each dude in a drop how much could it really be. Maybe they get a salary with royalties on top? IDK but FA is raking it in off the softgoods and im not convinced the riders get a big slice of that pie. FA even has one or two drops a year with only softgoods. I think starting their own board brand is gonna be tougher than they think. Slapping graphics on a deck can be done by anyone, what will they do to innovate that makes average people wanna skate their decks? Hype alone will only sell so many. Also the history of Primitive and FA shows they were established clothing brands before they added boards. Does Hardies have that level of sales yet? Judging from their website Im gonna say no. Theres not very much stuff on there and half of it is perpetually sold out. They cant wait too long to drop the goods and need some videos/media asap.
It should be obvious by now that FA is a lifestyle brand that uses a handful of relatively expensive and hard to get decks in order to justify selling soft goods. This is the future model for any modern skate brand.
You're not wrong but FA decks aren't expensive or hard to get and haven't been for about 3 years now, unless you're talking about the same retail price increase and supply issues that everyone has faced in the pandemic era. There was a while there where they created a little bit of false scarcity by being kind of bitches about which shops got to carry them and from people not being "allowed" to sell online but that hasn't been the case for a while now.
-
i see them at 70$ on their website
It seems more expensive than other brands but i don't know much about the US market
In France, retail price for FA / Hockey is now 95€ (previous price was 80€, like 6-9 months ago)
Prices are globally higher now because of pandemic but FA/Hockey definitely went overboard
Baker did it in some way too
Rising manufacturing & shipping costs don't justify these prices.
they are taking advantage of the rising retail prices and choosed to go further (marketing strategy / milking money)

Yeah it's like early 00 prices again. I guess at least min wage (which I rudely assume most skaters earn) is much higher now. We also had a golden period between 09 -14 where boards were like $90 (several brands also had price points that were like $65-75) and most shoes were $100 or under. Unfortunately seems we now have to make up for the good years
-
FA/Hockey decks are everywhere. Not online, but in real life. I don't see their clothes tho, which in my experience are extremely low quality and weird fits.

He could at least do it like Tiago and release a few proper parts and then just chill for a while. After a certain point you don't have to one up yourself anymore and I suppose it becomes more relaxing to film something here and there instead of killing yourself every video.
And instagram doesn't count, I like to see some random clips once in a while too but it doesn't compare to the production in a real part, pacing, filming(considering the times Fat Bill doesn't fuck up), music, different spots, all that stuff. He's not really doing the 2000s skater style but more the Anti-Hero style with tricks sprinkled between lots of edits, it's more of a recent thing.

Their MSRP is $70 for every deck and are only available through select shops, and not easily purchased through any of the big online retailers. Obviously you can find them on sale for less, and through a few retailers online, but it's nothing like other brands. For example, I just looked at Tactics and the first random Polar deck I found (https://www.tactics.com/polar-skate-co/halberg-burning-sink-85-p2-shape-skateboard-deck) is $56.95.

Weird to me that their decks go up for resale on eBay as soon as they come out for 150$ or more. Even when they are still on the site for 65 or 70$

Remember when kader was skating FA boards, then Reynolds turned him pro and gave him a board that looked like them “class photo” graphics.
Wonder what he’ll have to do this time. Especially if they’re still on that “everyone gets paid the same, if you want more money you have to sell more boards.” Which is the reason Leo left after what like 5 months.

He isn't following Chocolate on Instagram.
He's too good to languish in craig purgatory, would be sick if he was on the new tyshawn / nak company. He's always skating nyc and the adidas connection is there.
Justin Eldridge didn’t have a single sponsor outside of crail tap for 15 years and that man has a Tesla , two kids, a house in Manhattan beach and the capital to start a goose Shit toothpick company .
his parents probably helped him the house , either that or he is mortgaged to the hilton. have a hard time imagining they ever paid that guy more than like 50k a year lol but i honestly have no idea what lower tier pros make. most of his best footage was in Yeah Right! before he was pro
He had a shoe on es for a second there too.

Speaking of Mike Carroll that reminds me I think he did a similar thing with DC. He had a shoe called the embarko but it came out after lakai had already started.

kk so for couple years he prob broke 100k wit the shoe that was not really that popular. still i could see making 200k even those years, i know those cheques are quite good even if it wasnt doing crazy numbers. so he has made osme money in pro skating short term but no real career skills as a result, that is actually kind of scary to thinkyou have a fat ass mortgage to pay off though and you dont really have shit to show for it. if he was cancelled from skateboarding could be hard for him to make money, i think he had bad injuries too

Doing some very basic research seems Mike Carroll started lakai sometime between April and August 99 and the embarko was still being advertised in Dec 99

Remember when kader was skating FA boards, then Reynolds turned him pro and gave him a board that looked like them “class photo” graphics.
Wonder what he’ll have to do this time. Especially if they’re still on that “everyone gets paid the same, if you want more money you have to sell more boards.” Which is the reason Leo left after what like 5 months.

Are you just pulling that out of your ass or what? Reynolds was asked about it in some 15 part epicly laterd afterwords laughed and said “there’s no beef, everyone on the team makes the same amount, including me. If you want more money, put yourself out there and skate, sell more boards.” Dude wanted more bread up front.
And Leo wouldn’t fit in with baker now, which is a pretty fuckin dope Baker TBH.. but he sure as shit fit in when it became Hellrose PigWood 2.0/ Tum Yeto Alum Motorcycle club…he had one of the best parts in that one baker video he was in skating to Roy Orbison or David Allen Coe one of those bands you only see people rocking the tees 3 sizes too small...think he bounced by the time it came out tho.

Leo also talked about this in his Bunt interview. It made sense when he got on because he was already traveling with all the Baker guys on Emerica, but when it came to the rest of the guys that is where the disconnect came. There has been some casual beef between him and Dustin Dollin over the years.

That tyshawn Krooked guest board with the wheel wells was one of the best ones in a while. In the beginning it seemed like they had a guest board every season, that shit was sick.
Would be tight if they put out a couple Tyshawn Grimple boards in the meantime like they did with the dude that eats human shit for fun before uma boards were out.
Supreme collab looks decent enough, even though the SuprHero shit is dumb, but it can’t be worse than whatever tf all that “InTeRGaLaCtIc PISS” stuff last year was. Huge swing and a miss. I know “so bad on purpose that we pretend it’s good” is cool right now, but that shit was just so bad it’s bad.

Quite possibly all an elaborate marketing hoax. However, also a major incentive for someone to demand a ransom if he put all that work in the show dependent on that one NFT. Living in strange times now with so many celebrities promoting NFTs. Are they stupid for wasting their money or they getting kick backs for pushing this scam? I’m leaning more towards stupidity because of what happened to digital currency. They all want to be on board with the latest monetary trend, thinking will lead to major wealth

Apparently that’s fact. He’s not allowed to say he was gifted the NFT based on an NDA . Seems to be how almost all the celebrities got their NFTs.

Have read many comments on here in the past saying companies like Frog & WKND aren't 'real' companies, but Illegal Civ as a board brand is the one that fits closest to not being a real company. They just did some merch and had some of the crews name on the board, weren't available at shops and now they are already done. I wonder if Kevin White & Zach Saraceno will get boards on Tyshawns company right or away if they will be made to wait.
-
So Tyshawn left FA to ride for a company with Zach Saraceno and Kevin White?
-
ah maaan i hope the art direction isnt ass. im betting that just a simple logo board is all he can tease right now as not to give much info away. but for right now, it's not a great logo. its like some asos or zara underwear brand and somehow makes me think of nyjah after leaving element.
i like tyshawn on FA. benny or johnny or ben chandourne should be the filmer though. that sort of felt like a reason to leave but he is still with supreme so i have no idea. bill's fisheye work is fine. the nollie flip the tall can video was so good.
-
That logo ain’t it. That’s close to like Grizzly or Thunder heart grenade-core
If you’re gonna call it King give me a Don King board and World Industries style McKee graphics. At least have fun with it. Hope that’s where it’s headed but I won’t hold out hope.

That Skate.3 lookin ass logo ain't gonna do it

Bill isn't a FA/Hockey staff filmer though.
I think Tyshawn was always going to leave going back to like 2017. He barely felt apart of FA other than having a board with them and the Supreme connection and wouldn't really engage with being apart of it. He didn't go on any of the tours post 2017, and there was plenty. He's been on his own time for better part of 5 years.

Still kinda wild there’s nothing official about this yet and he’s still just riding supreme/ antihero deckswith supreme stickers. And that one picture with what looks like a disorder board ripoff.
Tf they waiting for.

Hardies skateboards would've made wayyy more sense and would've already had a base/art direction. Maybe Tyshawn is in biz with some "less than ideal" people that would prevent him from using the Hardies name without giving up a certain percentage/profit. King logo reminds me those old profile pictures everybody would use back in MW2 days

Wait illegal civ is finally over? They made all that noise last year turning Kevin white and friends dumbass pro to close up shop a year later . Amazing. Biggest idiot in the game he could’ve been on FA and done fuck all for the last 5 years and collected a check and chose the fairfax brand that came out 5 years too late .

At a glance this just kinda sounds like IC 2.0 but with Tyshawn as the focus instead of Alex Midler. Yeesh talk about playing yourself

I don't think they are over as a 'crew', but whatever their attempt was at having boards and having a 'board company division' is over.
-
Damn that’s a shitty logo. And the name sucks too. Like some corny yass king machismo bullshit. Also kinda be weird to be a chick and skate for a company called king. Kinda like I’d feel weird skating a Santa Cruz board in the Midwest. They kinda pigeon held themselves in a weird way. Shit name and shit logo. But I do enjoy jolly filming so hopefully he is the staff filmer. Tyshawn on baker would be cool. But he’s gonna do this ol bullshit.
-
You guys are all looking at that logo wrong.
Turn it upside down and its obviously a Pendleton designed Eagle head.
-
That crown looks so contrived trying not to look like the Baquiat crown. If you’re in Northern California, mountain bro’s/gals have a similar crown on all the Toyota Tacomas they own. Basic like Starbucks.
Have no hate towards Tyshawn or crew, but hope that’s not their main logo. They got the same fate as Monarch otherwise. Fuck, more like Numbers. At least Monarch has “Olympic Athletes” to sell boards.
-
Not that it was gonna be any different but this is depressing.
Basic and shitty logo, terrible team riders, this company had a hint of possible interest/coolness and it blew it as hard as possible.

I love how a few pages back I got endlessly kooked for noting that Tyshawn isn't some business genius and would likely let his ego make this a wet fart and so far it's really turning out to be. Who woulda thought that a owning a 3 star fast food joint wouldn't prepare you for things such as art direction, branding, etc when your skate career has been people doing all that for you.

I don't think you can really use this logic though when most skate companies were started by people with no business acumen whatsoever who also have never had experience in those things. That's why you hire people.
Is he a genius? No, I doubt it. Does owning a food spot prepare you to start a skateboard brand? No, I also don't think so. Does he financially have a leg up and maybe some more financial insight than a lot of people who decide to start a board brand? Yeah, I'd say so.

So this was initially meant to be under the FA umbrella, not necessary a 3rd company or 'another sister' but FA was going to going to take care of distribution. The Adidas x FA event last month was meant to be a big farewell of sorts for Tyshawn & Nak, but Nak jumped the gun entirely and quit with out consulting Tyshawn and burnt the FA bridge.
Interested to see how they distribute this, and how long it takes for them to roll this out.
