April?
-
Always thought he’d get on WKND when it started. Maybe now is the time?
I like Blake’s skating even though it can get a little repetitive and he suffers from that thing where he’s so good that he looks like he isn’t really trying. Hope he lands somewhere cool.
-
Damn, Foundation signed both Jesse Lindloff and Blake Carpenter!?
-
I actually really dig this kid's skateboarding. Hmmm where would he fit though?
Geometric skateshop sponsors him and they asked in the comments if he was going to frog
-
Floridians done with all this namby pamby vaccine and masks shit.

My best guess is Uma.

My best guess is Uma.
I could see it, he'd be a solid addition to the team
-
Makes my top five. This dude rips. Good style. Switch gawd.
Sci fi?
-
Bro flow and semi retirement? He rips but also isn’t super productive anymore right? Might be missing something.
-
Uma with the evan smith florida connection.
-
unfortunately he’s on nyjahs dumbass company

That will be an incredible bummer if so. I thought he fit perfect on toy.

Will be on Skate Mental in 6-8 weeks time.

Switch flip back tail Muni Rail was bananas.
Could see him on Girl, he’d be a good fit there. Skate Mental, Uma, or FA would make sense as well.

Obligatory "I can see him on Krooked."

No way this dude fits FA

It would make sense for Plan B just to take all the Florida guys…..
Let’s just get this over with so we can move on…..

Seems he left on good terms with most of the team judging by the comments (Dan Lu, Ed, Billy Marks, Sinclair).
Wonder where he lands. April makes the most sense in my mind.
-

He just had a gnarly part in that toy machine video last year. Switch back 3 a bump to bar . Dude doesn’t appear to be slowing down at all.
As for the Nyjah thing what connection do they even have outside like one Ayc trip 8 years ago. It’s not like Nyjah gets invited on Nike trips.

not sure Blake's conspiracy theory flat-earther/anti-vax politics fit with the Sci-Fi team lol Jerry seems pretty intentional about building a specific vibe over there

Last slide. Is that blake in the white shirt with his back to the camera?
-
hes going to disorder. hope it works out but also hope it doesnt.
-
I like Blake. He had a full part in programming injection ? Idk. I can seem him just skating for a bit. Maybe he’s too big for toy and they are restructuring. Uma would be a good fit or primitive. But shit maybe he’s going to monarch. I really hope it’s not disorder. Either way monacrch or disorder seems like a step backwards for him
-
Could see him on Fabo
-
disorder isn’t much worse than toy at this point lol.
-
It was only a matter of time.
Skate mental would be cool, uma makes sense.
-
Some of these predictions are bonkers. Only thing that makes sense to me is a move for more pay and the only options I see for that are April, Primitive and (maybe) Skate Mental.

I've checked both disorder's and Blake's Instagram and nothing. So again...what do you base this on?
-
Weird 10 years on Toy Machine. Got on when they were inactive, and not putting out any video content. Had one video part for them which was more or less footage not used for Trust Fall. Other than that...?
Disorder makes perfect sense. Looks like they are dropping a video soon, so we'll see.

Some people know other people and hear about things. Not everything is on social media. Seems like people are pretty confident they have the scoop so seems reasonable to trust em for now, no?
Ant Travis connection between Nyjah and Blake makes this seem like a solid pairing

Damn. I guess i just didn't want it to be true cause now i won't buy his board

OP OFF OF
-
Disorder sounded crazy in the first few posts on this thread and the more i see it, it doesnt seem too far fetched. He was on AYC with nyjah and went on trips with him and both on nike together. Could be paying wayyy more than toy machine.
-
Somehow I still can't imagine disorder becoming a thing at all. Have you guys seen disorder decks in real life?

Nyjah’s appeal is far greater to non-skaters, bet he sells out of product immediately upon release, mainly direct to consumer, farming website sales from his instagram
Very little of that product ever reaches a park or the streets

Exactly. It’s akin to Bam but on a smaller level. His appeal, contest fame and his popularity make him known to kids who are just starting and/or those who don’t really skate.
It’s like the kids buying Braille boards

Disorder is quite a bit worse than toy.
Toy has a legacy/history and a core team that despite toy having their fall from grace and in a lull weird spot their team riders are respected. I mean like toy or not no one is talking shit and calling dudes on that team cringy or kooky. Slap gave provost shit that’s it.
Disorder has a a guy that may have raped someone and little kids like.
-
seems like toy doing a mini reset, focusing on some younger talent/new additions. if they aren't pulling in a ton of cash it makes sense to let two older guys go
disorder tho, yikes. heavy influencer vibes
and ya:
Disorder is quite a bit worse than toy.
-
I didn't like this dude from how he came off on KOTR way back when, but goddamn a week ago a clip popped up in my ig feed and I thought, "That boy sure can skate".
-
My point of view is this. Why the fuck care what someone’s personal belief is specific to ridiculous shit like flat earth? Or political shit too. If I like their skating then I like their skating. I would never take any political or scientific advice from a skater of any level.
Now, with that being said, yea I draw the line on some of their behavior. I won’t be buying a gator board anytime soon. Before you call me a right wing nut job know I’ve never ever supported the right. I do agree ya’ll a bunch of snowflake pussies tho. I’m going back to the trans thread where things are getting real with that poser girl talking to Piers Morgan or Tucker.
This place gets so fired up about stupid shit. This guy is a flat earther so I can’t back it. Ok the dude is an idiot BUT he rips. I back his skating. Not his personal position on shit.
Dude is from Florida. Thats all you should need to know to form some opinions about him.
Chances are if you knew more shit about the people you do support you’d likely find something you didn’t like. Rant end.
-
Dude has always ripped, repped toy really well. Would be pretty bummed if he rode for disorder as it seems there are plenty of other board company's he could fit on.

His Dekline part really stood out to me. Didn’t he switch 360 flip 5-0 a rail?

I'm talking specifically his tenure on Toy Machine. But also that might just go hand in hand with Toy Machine being in a sort of skateboarding wilderness for a fair chunk of his time on there. The Dekline part is a very good technical skateboard part, but to me it's just sort of got this washed Ride Channel (Raglans, Singlets, cheap sunglasses) feel to it, where nothing from that time period has aged well.
-
Will be on Skate Mental in 6-8 weeks time.
For 6-8 weeks time
-
he must be pretty tight with this crew after the mason soty trip.
so place your bets now?
Real, Skate mental, FA etc...
-
He seems like he would have fit on an alt Numbers roster
-
Real was my first thought - skate mental would fit but yuck.
Uma's a neat speculation and Disorder would be embarrassing.

I feel like True Blue (Dekline, 2014?) aged quite well, but people associating the footage from that video as a Dekline (Tum Yeti) offering escapes a lot of people. That video pushed Blake to be a candidate for Nike (and Vans, etc.)
Toy put out quite a bit in the last 10 years while Blake was on: Programming Injection, Vaccine, Scorched Earth, and other mini projects/tour videos that he was part of.

Blake had already agreed to ride for Nike SB prior to the release of True Blue.
Programming Injection was October 2019, and the rest were after that. There was next to nothing between Brainwash (2010) and Programming Injection (2019) though. He had a 50 second welcome to the clip team (2013), and a 90 second Pro clip (2015). I guess the PUSH part could've, and should've been a Toy Machine part.

Kinda regret not grabbing a toy deck.

Always liked the guy, his part in True Blue was my favorite. In my opinion he fit well Toy Machine.
Hope he lands somewhere nice and is productive.

Blake's a solid guy, I've been fortunate enough to kick it with him a couple times, one of the guys that just seems to get along with everyone. Word on the street is that he's been kinda checked out on pro skating for a little while now, basically just been flow for Toy since he decided to move back home to FL in 2020 or whenever.
With that said, I wouldn't expect a huge resurgence from Blake, I think he's just going to end up somewhere that he can collect an actual paycheck for however long he decides. Good for him though, guy rips and was probably just going to get the Toy Machine phase-out treatment ala Matt B and the rest of the alumni. They also gotta make room for Braden Hoban turning pro sooner rather than later so the timing makes sense here.

Blake Carpenter is now Toy Machine alumni - holy shit am I old.
I remember watching Welcome To Hell, on VHS, in my buddies basement. How many Toy-Machine's ago was that, 4?

This doesn't really make any sense in a world where Dan Lu is still a Toy pro... like yeah, Blake's output isn't super strong but he's unbelievably good and posts clips regularly

He's been filming around orlando recently (possibly a nike part) and was still skating toy machine boards at my local 2 weeks ago

Biggest difference is Dan Lu still travels with and has a consistent presence with the team, Blake has been on the other side of the country for a couple of years now and Toy seemingly has a "must live in LA area" rule. Toy also apparently has a "never kick dudes off" rule so guys like Dan Lu are probably safe until they get the aforementioned phase-out treatment.
Regardless, saying Blake's checked out of pro skating entirely is probably a bit hyperbolic but he's obviously checked out on the California pro skating grind... so yeah couple that with Toy Machine currently being the Long Beach all-stars and the fact that they don't really pay their riders much and it would make sense for Blake to go somewhere else and collect an actual check for awhile.

Oh sure, but when you say he's going to get the phase out treatment ala Matt B then that's a different connotation. Blake leaving makes 100% sense, Blake getting retired by Toy because he doesn't live in California even though he's their most talented rider just doesn't to me.

Want to talk about Merlino’s getting screwed- dude had more footage in jackass 4/4.5 than most of the new cast members
-
Dude ( Nick ) was so bummed he about that god life now.
BC has been skating a ton. Looks to be hitting a mature prime level in his skating. Plays to his strengths and had one of the most (IMHO) impactful tricks / parts in the Nike video Constant.
Recently at Tampa Pro had the clip of the switch tre 5-0. Get the impression his arsenal is for reals. Not one offs.
I like the Sci-fi move. Sounds like jerry is doing things. Skate mental would mean skateboard obscurity. Real sounds like a good fit for just about anyone.
Girl / Chocolate retirement home would allow him to not out footage out for the remainder of his career and get paid industry minimum.
I am a fan.

Bro flow and semi retirement? He rips but also isn’t super productive anymore right? Might be missing something.
His parents are super wealthy. Doesn’t really have to be productive if he doesn’t want to.

Not a super fan by any means but if you watch his parts nearly every trick is insanely hard and done very well. I don't see anyone else doing switch bs 360's over bump-to-bars

Bro flow and semi retirement? He rips but also isn’t super productive anymore right? Might be missing something.
His parents are super wealthy. Doesn’t really have to be productive if he doesn’t want to.
We don't have bayous in Florida. Up swamp is more like it.

Where did all these Blake super fans come from? He's done two memorable tricks his whole career
Not a super fan by any means but if you watch his parts nearly every trick is insanely hard and done very well. I don't see anyone else doing switch bs 360's over bump-to-bars
You picked one of his two memorable tricks. As did the other people who mentioned his switch 360 flip 5-0. The argument that “he’s actually really solid” is undermined by the fact that the only tricks people mention to defend him are the two I had in mind when I made my post.

he also nollie heel noseslid oceanside hubba, you’re right though. that’s super forgettable and, i’m sure if you went there right now you could do it first try. i usually enjoy your posts for the most part…

hes done a lot of memorable tricks. the game is just oversaturated. sw flip back tail muni rail is ridiculous.

Not the huge fan but no denying the guy skates at a top pro level. Also has a mean front heel.

I think that's part of the charm when it comes to Chris Senn. Weird fast pushing between tricks in lines. Half cab flips like you mentions and goes super fast. People love the Gonz kickflip as well but it's super rocket. I love and appreciate that kind of skating as well ,compared to people who skates super clean and makes the tricks perfect.

A little birdie told me Blake had to leave Toy in order to renew his contract with his shoe sponsor.. Apparently N*** is strongly urging him to ride for Disorder. No bullshit.

Nike of Tum Yeto? Dashawn Jordan?

Maybe Nike just feels Blake’s talents are more needed over at Disorder, supporting their larger investment in Nyjah. Dashawn has it locked down as the pro over at Toy Machine and Sinclair can have younger Nike skaters slot in without it becoming a swooshfest

God I wish he hadn’t retired . I don’t need a full part but just him cruising around on the weekends would be enjoyable. Be sick to see a tom k & Jordan Taylor type series but with like him and Tim Tim as stylish older guys on a weekend warrior vibe.

Do you judge a skater's talent solely by your own trick memorability? I know Shane O'Neil is super talented but if I had a gun to my head and had to recall a specific trick he did I'd be a dead man
Is he the most interesting skater? No, but is he extremely good? Yes. He can switchflip backtail full size handrails on demand. Big switch heels, frontside heels, all kinds of shit on lock. Maybe you need to refresh your memory and watch one of his parts instead of just relying on what you memorized, that's all I'm saying.

Also that mag noted Blake was going to go to Disorder, then decided against it.
Girl would be a satisfying landing spot.

Would that mean he’d also give up Nike for a spot on Lakai?

They gave up on that policy after bannerot, Capps, and munch

Did people really think he would get on disorder? Idc what Nike or Nyjah offered him there’s no way he’s giving up all of his credibility to ride for one of the corniest brands in skateboarding. He’s had solid sponsors his whole career other than ripndip, never put out a bad part, and one of the best street skaters in the world IMO. Wouldn’t make any sense, everybody would clown him for it.

I’d be stoked if he got on girl or chocolate.

Shit I forgot people aren’t allowed to have their own beliefs around here. Who gives a fuck if people think the world is flat or if the world was created by a white guy with a beard as long as it’s not harming anyone. He’s a pro skater not a scientist, I highly doubt he’s influencing anyone with a bit of sense on the matter. It must be really miserable to hate everyone who doesn’t think just like you.

His skating makes up for any lapses in judgement. If I were that good I’d probably start to believe any little hunch I had about the way things work as a fact haha

Flat earth theory originates from people interpreting religious texts so I don’t see how it’s any different. My family has been spewing what they think is knowable evidence of god my whole life. Just because it’s unknowable to you doesn’t make it a fact. It doesn’t make any sense to me but I’m not going to call someone a dipshit for believing it.

Ah, see the rough part is that Mr. Carpenter lives in a country that allows everyone to vote as long as you don’t have a felony (in most cases). In such case, someone who isn’t critically thinking can vote for someone in power who doesn’t think critically, and that person in power can make decisions that harm people, a lot of people, a lot of innocent people, a lot of people who put the effort into thinking things through to not harm other people with their decisions/thoughts/actions.
See where this goes?

So who gets to decide what is stupid to believe and what isn’t? Is it you? Is every human in the world supposed to believe the same thing as you? Sounds like a dictatorship not a democracy as your speaking of. I think the only way we grow as humans is learning how to find common ground with people that are different than us. Dismissing them as stupid dipshits doesn’t get us anywhere.

Ah, see the rough part is that Mr. Carpenter lives in a country that allows everyone to vote as long as you don’t have a felony (in most cases). In such case, someone who isn’t critically thinking can vote for someone in power who doesn’t think critically, and that person in power can make decisions that harm people, a lot of people, a lot of innocent people, a lot of people who put the effort into thinking things through to not harm other people with their decisions/thoughts/actions.
See where this goes?
Stupidity hurts us all as a species.
Dude you don’t even know for sure that he’s a flat earther so the fact that you are so quick to call him out as a dumb shit from what was supposed to be a funny quote from Burnett says a lot more about you than you think.

Don’t conflate being a flat earther with things that are actually unknowable.
I don’t quite get the comparison, but whatever. I was around mellow Christians who weren’t Talibanesque Fundamentalists and were smart enough to know that the world wasn’t literally created in 6 days 6 thousand years ago.
I also don’t view God as a man with a beard, just as a personification of nature/natural order/antithesis of entropy/whatever.
Either way you can’t prove/disprove with 100% certitude the existence of God (let alone settle on a definition of what the god that you are even trying to prove exists or not is exactly) but you can definitely 100% prove the world is flat. So I think your comparison is apples and oranges.
Side question - no interest in researching it myself, but does anyone know what flat earthers think is on the other other side of the earth? Like what’s faceling the other direction? Just a bottom layer or rock? Turtles all the way down?

Reality. Whether the Earth is round or not should not be in some well-have-you-ever-thought-about-it-this-way gray area. What good does it do anyone to deny simple math, science, and literal photos of the Earth? It goes beyond healthy debate and lands firmly in paranoid conspiracy thinking.
-
people still believe, follow and worship a carpenter from 2000 years ago and no one bats an eyelid to that so why has this caused such commotion.
why cant we let people have there owns views and beliefs outside of the mainstream doctrine teachings.

Shit I forgot people aren’t allowed to have their own beliefs around here. Who gives a fuck if people think the world is flat or if the world was created by a white guy with a beard as long as it’s not harming anyone.

So who gets to decide what is stupid to believe and what isn’t? Is it you? Is every human in the world supposed to believe the same thing as you? Sounds like a dictatorship not a democracy as your speaking of. I think the only way we grow as humans is learning how to find common ground with people that are different than us. Dismissing them as stupid dipshits doesn’t get us anywhere.
hi mickey,
i agree that just labelling people stupid dipshits isn't very productive. however, i think there's quite a few problems with your prior statements, as indicated by the words i highlighted.
not everything is a matter of opinion. the earth being round isn't a matter of belief, or opinion and isn't dependent on anyone's deciding that it's so. it's just round. that's it.
there's nothing undemocratic about pointing that out.
in fact, in a world without objective facts democracy becomes impossible. i genuinely believe giving people a pass and saying 'it's okay to think that 2+2=5. all opinion is scared' is more dangerous to society than insisting that 2+2=4. if that's tyranny, it's only the tyranny of reality. nobody has the option of making the world flat on behalf of those who would find it more palatable. there are things we have to put up with. it'd be swell not to need to breathe, but we do. (that's the tyranny of oxygen, i suppose.)
people don't have to share the same beliefs/opinions. but they should also respect that not every topic is in the realm of belief/opinion.

See this was my first thought too, but the premise is what if we discovered it was flat, not what if the world became flat tomorrow. The premise implies everyone’s worked around the limitations, it’s just that they’ve been lying to us for centuries about the state of our world (and presumably our moon, the planets, etc).
So if I learned tomorrow the world was flat, I would be profoundly effected by being a part of humanity’s biggest disinformation campaign and I probably would never be able to trust any conventions or truths again

presumably exactly what you were trying to do with your clever feedback ted comparison and that 'paradox of narcissism' phrase, no?
brother. trust you don’t know my point. you’re way too far in your own way to know what i’m talking about.
i want to have fun on this website. now i gotta be a dick, and i hate that.
when you are presented with a teachable moment on the internet, go for it. valuable moments we don’t get to have enough. i’m an american, americans need to be taught all the time.
blake carpenter is not on slap. he has never been on slap. he never will be on slap. you’re trying to prove you are better than him, and you’re trying to convince people by proxy to take his income away because of something printed in a magazine, presumably in jest. you’re not teaching anyone. you’re just trying to sound superior. trying to be superior is corny as fuck. what i am doing right now, trying to sound superior to you in a serious way, is extraordinarily embarrassing.
if he was racist, that’s a moral failing. it denotes calling out. getting tricked by bad science because you got a 9th grade education is just sad. you trying to get on a high horse (probably because you’re bitter about your skating career) just makes you look small.
again, i hate being serious on this website. i’m here to have fun. please just let me have fun. i hope you decide to have some fun yourself.

No one's gonna not buy a Blake carpenter board because he thinks/(was said to have) thought something silly. He just happens to be the start of the convo. Harmony had a full career after saying dinosaurs weren't real. Nobody wants them to get fired it's just funny like can you fukn believe this guy?

if it was discovered that the earth was flat tomorrow none of your lives would change one iota. shut the fuck up. why must you always find the flimsiest foundations for your soap boxes?
fella, what?
if the earth was flat everything would be different.
the entire phenom of global supply chains, all satellite enabled technology, the freakin' tides, all navigation tools from compasses to gps, all technology that interacts with magnetic fields, newtonian physics and every object mankind has created using our understanding of newtonian physics would have to be reconsidered (a flat earth is incompatible with our model of gravity)...
in short, your life would be so different in so many far reaching way that it's genuinely beyond imagination.
do you build satellites or navigation tools? are you a professor of newtonian physics? or do you just like to bitch on the internet? obviously the earth is round. enjoy dumb people being wrong. not everything in life has to be a dick measuring contest where you outsmart total strangers that don’t know you exist.
i'm going to shock you here.
i'm not a professor of physics.
but i did get a base level of education.
so i understand that gravity forms round planets, not flat ones.
that's the whole point of compulsory schooling. you don't need to be a professor to know basic shit.
this is like someone saying 'it's raining' and you yelling back 'HOW DO YOU KNOW? ARE YOU A DOCTOR OF METEOROLOGY??? WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE TO DICTATE THE WEATHER!!!

broooooo, what the fuck?
i never said anything about blake and have zero opinion or his sponsors. i think you're confusing my posts with other peoples?
i at no point was making fun of anyone being a flat earther either.
i argued against the idea that people believing things that are factually false is harmless or in any way enjoyable - and the idea that people who know better have no right to say so.
it was a discussion about that dude's 'enjoy people being dumb/ anyone can believe anything' idea - blake and flat earth or whatever was just the catalyst.
lol, the fact you seem to think i was think i was trying to lecture blake's sponsors is absolutely wild. given that we're at complete cross purposes here though, i'll check out.
sorry if i came across pretentious or patronising. i just think the 'enjoy people being dumb/ anyone can believe anything' approach is gonna lead to a very fucked (as in society-ending) place and is quite scary.

Blake likes his boards like he likes his Earth, flat
