Title: TJ Rogers of Blind
Post by: jsettle on August 04, 2022, 03:38:25 AM
TJ left Blind....no longer listed on their insta and doesnt list them on his. Wonder if he will end up on primitive with how much hes skating the park. Or could end up at a handful of other companies. Anybody got any guesses where he may end up?

Why does Blind still put out the same crappy graphics over and over? If they actually put out some real 90’s style graphics, (like Marc McKee style), and maybe got rid of that guy with the toothpick, they might actually be cool again.

I think theres a time limit where if you blow it for too long, I don't think theres a comeback in the cards. Didn't Blind try to turn Yuto pro at a contest and he essentially said no thanks and quit shortly after? If that didn't wake them up to switch things up nothing will.

This is what I have been thinking/hoping for a while. Seems likely if he is really of Blind. He's my favourite right now obnoxious pants and all (my local shop collaborated with them I bought a pair and they are absurdly large... comfy around the house)

Dude's been absolutely crushing it, survived cancer, let out an amazing part, had a 9 club where he came off dope and told the story of his crazy childhood. 5 years ago I could care less about this dude, but he's made me fan in the last few years.

Kirkland Lake - so the closest I've been to your hometown was while working an MTO project in New Liskeard I spent an evening fishing for walleye in Englehart!

Why even make a post about him being back on Blind? Just act like it never happened and move on. Does anyone else think it’s kind of embarrassing?

It sounds like TJ wasn’t being taken care of and decided to leave and have no sponsor and Blind had to scramble and come up with the cash.

Wish to have seen him on anywhere else. Fits Monarch. Primitive is due for a sister company. Would have been cool to see him be one of the first guys on something like that. He honestly fits DGK really well. Somehow better graphics than Blind.

Not watching a 9C video, but based on what you’re saying, sounds like he left blind for more money… then blind came back with more money. Idk how that’s suppose to be embarrassing.

because it reads like he left blind, expected to get offers, didn’t and had to run back to the only people who would take him

Most of their team (Nassim, TJ, Sora) is the shit, the rest not so much.

Damn, bummer.

Why even make a post about him being back on Blind? Just act like it never happened and move on. Does anyone else think it’s kind of embarrassing?

It sounds like TJ wasn’t being taken care of and decided to leave and have no sponsor and Blind had to scramble and come up with the cash.

Wish to have seen him on anywhere else. Fits Monarch. Primitive is due for a sister company. Would have been cool to see him be one of the first guys on something like that. He honestly fits DGK really well. Somehow better graphics than Blind.

No, I think he did have a chance to ride for someone else because Blind wasn’t taking care of him, and then Blind scrambled to pay and keep him on. I think it’s embarrassing for Blind.

I don’t take TJ for a guy that would jump ship without having anything else to fall back on. We all know he’s super underrated, and that’s because he is on Blind.

Look at Diego Najera. Blew up when he got on Primitive, went to April, quit because he was being disrespected, and now on Monarch. Everyone knows he’s amazing, but no one is talking about him like they were when he was on the “cool” hyped up brands.

Everyone says he’s the nicest dude. I’ve only ever heard praise for him and his talent. Why wouldn’t he have other teams interested?

Probably all the same reasons he wasn't getting on any teams ten years ago. Obvs he rips but he's on blind, tensor and es there's gotta be something going on.

Dwindle quickly realized the team of Micky Papa, Nassim Lachlab,  Sora Shirai and Jake Ilardi wasn't cutting it and decided to pay T.J what he's worth.

Skating has become super cliquey now so it’s no surprise you go for the money . He should be on Disorder if anything.

We thought the same thing about Yuto and got Sora…..I know there’s supply chain issues but I’m sure there is a new model coming out of Japan by the second quarter of 2023…

You’re right its definitely always been cliquey. At least TJ gets the fat red bull salary. Berger doesn’t even have a board sponsor and he still making bank

Yea, put him on disorder.
To truly follow the concept of the name, the team should be reminiscent of the OG asphalt yacht club team.

Yeah I wonder if people are still pulling the "core" argument when it comes to skating for a someone.  Could see Kelly trying to convince certain people when they come on the 9club show
