Title: Curren already of Skate Mental?
Post by: Murray Hewitt on May 31, 2022, 02:24:21 PM
He lists all of his sponsors in his Insta bio but no Skate Mental? Staba done himself a mischief?

Putting sponsors in the bio costs extra.

You Joke but a quick peep of his ig I noticed he really only tags vans so maybe it really does come down to that . Also it’s Brad he don’t give a Shit. I don’t think he’d leave Jake unless dill let Louie bring him over to FA but he doesn’t really fit there.  He is skating a blank in that ace part though. Who knows when that was shot .

I've been skating for 20+ years in the UK. Followed skating pretty obsessively for most of that too. Are skate mental a real brand?! I feel like ive only ever heard of this brand on here. I've never seen a deck of there's in real life, not sure ive ever even seen an ad.

Have they had any videos? I've never heard of any of this shit. Weird.

Curren has a signature hair gel that (completely serious) probably pays 3x any skatemental check ever could

Board sponsors are a joke now anyway who cares it’s all about shoes energy drinks and other fashion related products

He confounded that company with malto so he probably makes very little off it. It’s just another skate endeavor to try and get bought like they did with st archer .they even rebranded villager into a canned cocktail company . It’s kinda funny watching them all try and hit the jackpot twice especially after coors just shut down st archer.

2bad they can’t package and sell their ability to vibe people out with their eyes. They’d be millionaires from what heard by people who grew up around curren

Honestly like... I could see FA releasing a barn burner video soon and catch us all by surprise.

FA is in a weird place where I could see it. I mean their entire producing team is just Louie and Elijah. Sage,
KB and Sean Pablo haven’t done anything in years . Who knows what up with touzery and aiden and everyone else they’ve added is on hockey. Would be a shit move by curren tho

Nah bro Sean broke his leg. He was getting gnarly with it. All those dudes are stacking clips on the low. The new am Joseph had a lunatic fringe and an ad with gnarly shit. He's on a sick one, he's probably bringing some good energy to the team.

came here to say that. apparently kb has like 8 min of footage, SP has a part about to drop and was trying to get last minute stuff and sage? idk he was in paris skating with paul grund and those dudes so that makes the heart happy. joseph is fucked all the way around. hopefully they drop a video out of nowhere like dancing on thin ice

in his bunt episode he said this montana trip was filmed a while back.

also when you get on a company they often give you blanks of different shapes to skate before putting a graphic on the one you chose.

can't seem he him on FA at all.

I had no idea he is/was on SM, still thought he was on Flip. Or I guess I never really think about him
Never really cared for the kid, But I’ve seen a few IG clips of his that I really enjoyed. Made me wonder if he’s becoming a “cool” skater and going to a “cool” company.

So Nike pays them to stay in biz? Does Brad have to pay the non-nike guys out of his pocket? How would this benefit nike? Because SM is so visible and influential in the skate scene? I guess I'll have to wait for the stockholder meeting to ask all of my Q's.

It’s a dumb rumor that refuses to die and will resurface any time a Nike rider starts their own board company.

If anything Toy Machine is more of a Nike company with Sinclair seeding the team with wayward Nike skaters that don’t fit the brand

Who on Toy is on Nike other than Daiki and Dashawn? For the most part, I feel a majority of the team are on Vans and Emerica.

Listen to his bunt interview.

Him and Jake Anderson were bored on a couch one day, Mike Anderson tells them "what the fuck are you guys doing with no board sponsor, call Staba" Jake called Staba and asked to be on again with Curren and here we are.

I've seen a Skate Mental in a local shop a few times, but it's always the worst graphic and only ones in the wild were local cool guys/Staba friends. I think they sell fairly well at Vans, Zumiez, and similar shops.

Agreed, Former's aesthetic, as basic as it is, is actually really original and suprisingly unique in skateboarding. Not a lot of brands have melded the worlds of surf and skate so tastefully, nor have succeeded with so little branding. Curren on Former would have been a no brainer and would probably throttle them into the mainstream.

I hope this new Curren part is for Vans, not Staba

I respect your opinions, but they’re wrong.

Currens bunt interview covered all this. I think. Dude was just skating blanks (deluxe I’m assuming, *insert Jim T Is responsible for the deforestation of the Amazon jokes*) for close to like 2 years or something before people realized he was off flip.

Sounds like Funeral Home or whatever not happening, worked out in his favor, bc there’s no way he was getting on that shit. Unless dill was gonna pull some weird shit and pretend he fucks with curren because his dads an old surfing cokeguy.

Antonio being on skate mental makes no sense. Him not being on any brands that actually pay him (Nike?) is fucked up. Dude is motherfuckedup, shit he’s doing don’t even make sense.
