So it seems to be true about the new company coming from the Enjoi camp. Enjoi cleared it's youtube of videos and renamed to "jacuzzi unlimited"
www.youtube.com/@jacuzziunlimited
-
Great name
-
J'accuse Matt Evs
-
Is jacuzzi already being a brand name gonna be a problem?
Spa bath/hot tub unlimited coming soon
-
They should steal Jacopo Carrozzi for the team. The name markets itself.
-
sounds awful!
also, scrubbing fifteen years of your former brands history from the internet is equally awful
They aren't gone. The Enjoi website has them listed a private.

Enjoi is a much better name than jacuzzi.
Hope this isn't as it seems.

Taurus Skateboard Company

changing the name and erasing their shit looks like a nice way to say farewell
-
Louie stealing the Enjoi YT page before the corporate overlords come in and change the password. Starting Jacuzzi with a built in 17k subscriber base, solid first move
-
question is....will we get a photo of Louie in a sweater vest sitting in a jacuzzi for the first ad?

Maybe they just sell Jacuzzis now... https://jacuzziunlimited.com

If this is truly backed by Louie I think we should we should welcome this endeavor with open arms, embrace and support it and not just poo-poo it because it’s new. It’s okay to root for other peoples success.

Despite the stupid name, I'm sure this will be the case. At least amongst the core audience.

Skateboard names are so odd nowadays. Frog, Limosine, Hockey, Almost, Bacon, Chocolate. Jacuzzi is not far from it.....but is still a bad name.
Should have just called it Tilt Mode for christ sake.
-

Yeah, Jacuzzi is a trademarked name on a product, not a generic name for a hot tub. I don't imagine that they're going to be friendly towards this name.
-
Worst time to start a board company as board sales are way down, and shops have too much stock they already can't move
I guess we'll see how Louies experience as brand manager will help him launch his company. Either go the Limosine route or just be another Freedome, Brainchild, Visit, High School Drop Out, etc.
-
Oh boy what a wacky name! I hope the ads are wacky too!

Uhh Chocolate predates Tilt Mode.
The only reason those names sound dumber than Baker, Zero, Enjoi, Anti-Hero, Real, etc is because they are newer

The only reason why I brought up Chocolate is because my wife doesn't get the shirt I have, let alone the Girl shirt I have. From an outsider, she things Chocolate is so feminine...which I guess is sort of the point of why Crail did that.
Agreed though. Skateboard board names are sort of odd in general.

Jacuzzi? That's a funny name... I'da called 'em "Chazwozza's

im glad i own a hard copy of bag of suck

need a hot tub time machine to make this not exist anymore
-
that brand name is a bag of suck
-
But you’ve gotta ask you yourself: if I had a jacuzzi, would I want it to have limits?
I think we all can agree upon the answer here.

I hope bronze gets some legs under it

How soon until this gets mentioned in a Palace product description?

Pretty rad move to co-opt the existing YouTube followers for the brand, wonder how the suit's that bought dwindle feel about that. Surprised they didn't do the same with the instagram account.
Just hope my Bag of Suck DVD doesn't get wiped for the Jacuzzi promo...

its a little surprising how badly they (and crailtap) seem to be doing, there's a very sizeable percentage of people at my local rocking lakais and enjoi/chocolate boards

Turns out, there may be merit to a limitation or two after all.

The Jacuzzi family will most likely be bummed when they hear the news
https://www.jacuzzi.com/en-us/HISTORY-OF-HOT-TUBS-AND-JACUZZI.html
Seeing that it's a family name, they'll probably try to put a end to it.
MotherCollective(now Quasi) couldn't get away with a name already taken - Possible Cease&Desist incoming?
Also wondering if adding "unlimited" could get them out of it.
Does anyone have more info on copyright laws? Loopholes, etc.?

The only way they might get around it is arguing that "jacuzzi" is in common usage enough for the two companies to not get mistaken for each other. Given they are in different industries they might have a case.
BUT I'm guessing Jacuzzi has better lawyers and a pretty big incentive to protect their brand from skate rats.
I like the name though. I'd by a pink cassette online for $50 if it was a vaporwave producer.
-
according to a quick google search, apparently jacuzzi is pretty serious about protecting their trademark from becoming a generic term. theyve been suing hotels and have a section on their website about protecting the trademark.

I would not want to be in hot water with the jacuzzi family. I hope Louie knows what he’s doing!

honestly i back this. louie is a pretty funny guy and im sure he can make some great bits and incorporate skating into it. hopefully its not that corny.
-
what’s there to be excited about?
it’s just the same dead company with a different name

I don't think it will blow up. But, I could see them getting a ton of support in San Jose/the bay area the same way San Diego supports Sk8 Mafia.

My older brother had this friend whose dad was was this giant man first generation immigrant from Croatia with the super thick accent and everything. He called every soft drink "Pepsi" as a generic term but would still sometimes use the actual brand name of whatever soda pop it was. "You want pepsi? You want Coke pepsi or orange pepsi? Grape pepsi?"
We still do it sometimes because it was so awesome.
-
maybe the guy who owned the youtube channel was over it haha

Ah wut do you seh, ah tell yuh nuh. Dem haffi ah purge fi pass Zion Gate, it give dem length of days.

I remember when Mother changed to Quasi and everyone on here was shitting their pants, and eventually we got used to the name. I'm sure the same will happen with this. Especially with Louie behind the wheel. Hope Matt Evs is somehow involved, it would make it even better. Enjoi ads were a HUGE part of my upbringing as a skateboarder and it fucking sucks to see them go :(

Expedition became "Expedition One" because of a Ford cease and desist. So there is unlimited potential with adding a single word to bypass these sassy laws.

Why can't skaters let good things fade into the sunset? Enjoi was born from an era and crew that is long gone. Celebrate what it was don't just let it become a Zumiez sales rack brand.

Sex pond and it’s raw and heavy like hockey
Aquaticoitus and it’s super artsy

Down here in the south everything is a coke.
Person 1: "Hey grab me a coke while you're up"
Person 2: "What kinna coke you want?"
Person 1: "Dr. Pepper"
You can always spot a transplant when they talk about soda or pop.

I say let the dudes that brought us good videos and good times try to monetize their contributions to skateboarding. Fuck it. Maybe they don’t want to be 50 year olds still living with roommates. Vote with your dollars dude

I’m not over it, Mother is still a way sicker name than Quasi
3D was originally going to be called “Dear”, which I also think is way better. BA had some sick promo logos for it
The difference here is that “enjoi” is also a bad name

Hopefully he just works with Zack Wallin. They should start a construction team.....called Pool Boyz. Jokes aside, that would be oddly rad if there was skaters that transitioned as a team into another industry.

Mother didn't have to change their name, they just couldn't do clothing under that name cuz some fishing brand is Mother Jeans, nd you don't actually make money off of skateboards so you need apparel

At this point he may can build kind of a super team for old enjoi and almost and other dwindle folks. I kinda think Wallin would be good on chocolate or girl. Samaria found a home. Deedz prob destin for bigger things.
I think they should get
Dilo.
Louie. Obviously.
Maybe youness
Devin bagnoli for gratuitous rail chomper
Who all don’t have a board sponsor right now. My list isn’t good. I’ll come back and edit it.

Crob and jeron were backing the idea when he was on nine Club last fall. I mean chocolate would be sick, he’s still more productive than brophy and I mean realistically how much longer are eldy , crob and Kenny gonna be getting paychecks from crail .

i wouldn’t imagine wallin on anything but the new company, crail doesn’t make sense to me. what i’m curious of is that someone on here called this rumor out as soon as enjoi was going under, knew the name of the company and said it was pretty much all of enjoi guys with one surprising/off-putting rider. can’t find the quote or remember the user but, who could this random person in limbo be? dilo maybe? i’ve said from the get go he should be on deathwish but maybe him being on will cement this company as legit if it is him?

But is dilo a surprising fit? I mean I could completely see that with the newer people they’ve added . He fits just fine, if anything he should’ve been on enjoi instead of almost . I think deathwish is cool spot for him but why I am also thinking wknd? I imagine him Jordan and Tom could come up with weird spots together and it’d be cool.

Can’t help but think Eldy will be lose his board well before Crob. Nine Club is probably helping him still sell boards and opening him to a different demographic of younger kids and casual skaters. If they didn’t drop Kenny after the domestic accusations they probably won’t.

I'm really surprised no one is warning them since it is a family name and the Jacuzzi company is notorious for being protective of it. I give it a year at best

I'm a big Zach Wallin fan. He's got a sick powerhouse style and skates fast - but maybe it's just friend flow from VA since they're on the Dickies/DIY program together?
I don’t want it to be true but you’re probably right. Him on chocolate with VA would be sick. But yeah it’s prob just a homie hook up.
Crob and jeron were backing the idea when he was on nine Club last fall. I mean chocolate would be sick, he’s still more productive than brophy and I mean realistically how much longer are eldy , crob and Kenny gonna be getting paychecks from crail .
Can’t help but think Eldy will be lose his board well before Crob. Nine Club is probably helping him still sell boards and opening him to a different demographic of younger kids and casual skaters. If they didn’t drop Kenny after the domestic accusations they probably won’t.
Justin Eldridge is still a professional skateboarder?
Apparently 🤷

I've heard that Expedition one (emphasis on the one) was originally just Expedition until some company who owned the rights to that name sued. They changed to Expedition one and that was all they needed to avoid the lawsuit. I wonder if the "Unlimited" will be enough for Jacuzzi, but we'll see.

feels like some people are writing it off before it even gets going which i find odd. never heard a bad word about louie or bill weiss from what i can remember. they seem like guys who genuinely just love skateboarding and want to take care of their friends. if they can make a few legit brands out of this distribution regardless if they’re the coolest thing out or not & still pay these guys then that’s great. it wouldn’t be hard for them to make a cooler blind/darkstar/madness & if they can make jacuzzi feel like old enjoi then i’m all for it. that mini documentary of the team introducing the new ams and kind of hyping up the video they were working on got everyone on here stoked from what i remember, so the camaraderie and the love is still there and i think they can make this something that resonates with everyone if they do it right.

Jacuzzi Unlimited sounds like something from the movie Step Brothers, which I always associate with frat boy humor.

Damn we already got a page of critique based on one of the only instagram posts they've made so far. I love and hate slap so much sometimes.
I have faith in Louie that he'll put out some sick graphics that aren't overly cheesy like some enjoi ones were. I have a feeling that not being tied to that brand and the legacy of it will really free up Jacuzzi to do more unique shit.

no you’re right ;D i’m just trying to be optimistic. hopefully they can make this something cool now that they’re on their own without any higher ups. on the opposite end there’s brands that seemed promising before they started (3D, numbers, e.c.t) that ended up blowing it. these guys at least have experience in this field already so i see them having more of a chance of making this legit than the other ones that didn’t pan out the way we had initially expected.

He’s always had bad mental health issues too ripped . In some ancient skateboard mag issue he talks about his anxiety and ocd . Dude was walking back from school mid day to make sure the hairs dryer was unplugged or his mom would die or some crazy shit. He plays it off but in hindsight it’s kind of a heavy read. Caswell is cool though and I hope he continues with Louie.

I had never thought twice about a truck company's art direction so that's an interesting take lol. I kinda care more for the actual truck (don't really care for slappy's) and if they make decent colors (let's never go back to the era of neon color trucks please).
Totally get what you are saying about Opera tho. Hopefully, they have more to offer as the first drop nears us

He’s cited Louie as his favorite skater and there seems to be mutual admiration, he also did a line of boards for enjoi a few years back so there is a connection in terms of some sort of a business relationship. He’s been skating blanks for a bit, also just got a pro shoe from NB# so financially if he was going to take a risk like this now would be the time.

Haha. I walked by him at the P-Stone invitational where it was just us on the streets. He said hi to me when I wasn’t even really looking at him. He had me at “H…”…haha.
I am not even from Martinez but I want him to be pro so he could be the first skater to be pro for that city. Kind of like Duffel and Walnut Creek.

Did a lil research and found Tony’s homie video “zerb city 2” it’s actually pretty sick and the kid with last part coco would be a great addition to the tub his part starts around the 15 min mark. Seems to have the party chops they looking for 2.

These ads are like a mix of quasi and old baker ads. I'm digging it.

Aren't these guys subjecting themselves to a million fucking headaches by calling it Jacuzzi anything? Do two seconds of research and you'll find they are protective of their trademark and quick to sue. Worst, shortest-lived company name ever, or attention troll?

Jacuzzi go after anyone who even comes close to infringing their trademark. They might as well have called it Disney skateboards.
Mother got one range out before the name had to be changed to Quasi... wonder if Jacuzzi will get that far.

I’m more stoked on jacuzzi unlimited than I have been for any other company in a while. Hope the come correct and come out swinging with a dope edit.
I’m sure with the dudes behind this and sidewalk they either know a loophole to avoid being sued or already have a back up name ready and are planning on a c&d and rebranding and it is all part of marketing.

Did Samarria stick with the panda??

nvm shes on Meow

I am a huge Enjoi fan but mostly cause of their legacy from back in the days. With this revamp (aside from the name), it will really give a boost for these riders. I think Pilz and Deedz are one of the best out there but who was actually buying their boards when they were on Enjoi? Now I think you can buy their stuff with confidence now. Hopefully the graphics are more up to standards of today.
-
Man I hope they pick up Dilo too, he seems liked he’d be a pretty good fit, and since they cherry picked a madness rider a almost rider would kinda make sense

Is it weird to say it would be cool to see TJ Rogers on there? Bill Weiss connection? No?

From the looks of it that Dru kid they put on was also riding for Almost so I’d say it’s a pretty good chance Dilo is on too. Honestly don’t even know what other brand he would really fit other than Jacuzzi. Maybe Sour or something in the baker camp through the Florida connections. Hope it’s jacuzzi though.

yeah was just gonna say the very same. it’s cool that dubois is on, his part a few years back skating to the cars was sick. didn’t really think he fit madness either. i really wonder who the surprise rider is that “nobody would expect”. the person who started the jacuzzi rumor said it was someone kinda iffy so i’m curious.

Realistically how many people can they put on after these last 3. What are they at now 9? Who’s funding this ? If we get ryan Connor and then maybe dilo we’re at 11. That’s a sizeable team for a new company. I guess outside of Jackson and the ogs they have no pros to pay though.
-
If board sponsors don’t pay like people on slap imply is it possible to have a bloated team? I don’t know pay and won’t pretend too. I’m just saying if it’s nothing like people say maybe they can add tons of riders especially if they aren’t on anywhere else.
I hope dilo is on. This team seems dope and diverse and would love a full team vid or a fun team edit

In a better world we would judge companies based on how well they treat their team/employees.
We would all be riding the decks, trucks, wheels, etc of whichever companies pay their skaters a living wage and offer benefits.

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm really interested to see if their strategy will be to take on lots of debt/expenses in order to boost exposure early on or if they'll try to keep the team thin (doesn't look like it) and try to build a bit more slowly and less pricey

Can't believe they're starting this company off with this large of a team. It feels like a "putting all their eggs in one basket" situation, but I sincerely hope I'm wrong and that this company will be a huge success for everyone involved. I'm excited to see their first offerings in regards to product and videos.
I just hope they don't try to follow the same formula enjoi created.
-
Isn't this more or less old Enjoi and a Madness rider? My guess is they go with BBS for some generic decks.
-
Just to put things into a little perspective witht the “cost” of a team.
It’s really hard at this point for a brand to get boards landed for under $15. Most brands are paying more, but for the sake of this let’s just say $15.
If each rider gets just 5 boards a mont that’s 50 boards at $15 each before shipping them out. Which currently is gonna be about $25. So. $750 in boards and $250 in shipping. That’s already $1000 a month and we didn’t
Pay the shipping guy or the TM.
Boards at wholesale after discounts are about $40. So let’s say that you get $25 profit. You still have to
Pay the warehouse guy
Pay the sales guy
Pay a team manager
Pay a Filmer/Photog
Pay rent
Pay utilities
Pay for supplies to ship
Let’s just say you have to sell a lot of boards each month just to cover paying for the boards the team needs to skate.
Moral of the story. I think they should start with a smaller team.
-
I mean, I'm sure Louie would know all that.
Maybe they have some top secret billionaire benefactor that we don't know about?

Dilo was wearing a Jacuzzi shirt at tampa pro. Def going to be on.

Company doesn’t even have product yet so hopefully we can wait and see, our dollar is our vote in this case so the best we can do is buy a Dilo board and help this company grow. :)

These skaters aren't going to be paid in money, but rather something more valuable — experience and exposure.

This is honestly pretty spot on. Young skate rats to bring the hype, hopefully art direction that leans more towards the (few) more tasteful examples of Enjois recent output, and Louie being Louie would keep old heads interested probably.
Highly unlikely but an MJ guest board down the pipe would be fun.

Kids want skate rats who produce right now and kids have always enjoyed Louie and enjois brand of quirkiness. There’s a reason franky got a shoe . They capture that right now and this very well could be huge
This is ao true and also makes me wonder if this is why FA is falling out of favor.

hells yeah a Dilo board would be rad. a little bummed he didn't hop on DW but i still think this will be cool. art direction seems focused and i can see some cool graphics comin from cuzzi
interesting that multiple ppl have mentioned Deathwish, im pretty sure he was already deathwish flow a few years ago and they dropped him/he dipped for Almost- so i really can't imagine him going back to that.
Also pretty funny to me that people are bummed on him getting on as if he turned down offers from anyone else. Dude is awesome but has been criminally slept on forever, if DW or anyone else hasn't put him on for the last 5 years why would they suddenly do it now? Dude settled on the worst era of Almost and couldn't even get on Lakai (?!), this is literally the most legit/cool brand he's ever been on and I think we should be hyped for him.
The getting paid thing is funny too considering 99% of pros don't make a living from their board sponsor, if anything the cool points of being on a hip new brand could help him finally get a shoe sponsor (which is 10x more important financially)

I’d argue Louie made it the best he could, it was a corporately owned company that changed hands a few times. I’m sure he couldn’t do whatever board graphics he wanted and had to keep things looking sellable to zumiez and other mall shops. As well as a large amount of their profits came from those kid friendly completes as well. He built that team with some really great skaters Pilz, deedz, Samaria, costa, wallin, Ben (rip), probably with a limited budget and more limited space (in terms of freedom) that didn’t seem conducive creatively. If you give Lou no limits I’m sure he will kill it. ;)

Seems like the true owners of enjoi were stifling Louie. Probably couldn’t show imagery of people consuming alcohol which is part of Enjoi’s DNA with tilt mode party footage. Same with the edgy humor or probably dumb graphics (in a good way) like that cowboy J.

Just listened to Dilos nine club interview and now it makes total sense for him to be here. Louie Barletta hyping him up in a dwindle meeting is the reason he got on almost.
Usually not a nine club fan but I recommend this one. Jon tells his whole sponsor limbo story:

Probably cause they only ordered 2 boards. To try out on the shelf.
Also this chop chop article from 2003
https://sgbonline.com/dwindle-opens-chop-chop-wood-shop-in-china-for-skate-decks/
While Dwindle is pushing this as a positive step for the industry, not too many retailers seem to agree. Postings in industry chat-rooms all seem to reveal the same sentiment – this move will hurt local production, and make it harder for small independent retailers, who place orders for 10-20 decks at a time, to source skate decks.
Industry chat rooms? Slap?

maybe it does when it's just a deck, but as a set up board it kind of just kills the graphic...in my opinion of course :)
-
What is the typical wholesale price range for skateboards? It seems like all decks are now being sold for around $70-$80, which appears to be a significant markup and profit margin for a skate shop. I lack knowledge about wholesaling. Is there a readily available list of wholesale prices for reference?

IIRC, Rodney Mullen owns DSM, not dwindle. It's the whole reason NHS also gets their stuff made there as well.

Kind of wack if this isn't an Orville Peck collab.
This USPTO application is interesting: https://uspto.report/TM/97939346/APP20230519112239/
It actually pisses me off that they're sticking with this stupid fucking name because it just means that resources will be sucked away from trips and videos for an otherwise great team.
Fucking idiots.
Jerry's boards look amazing as per usual.
$42.50 wholesale for a board? Jesus fuck.
https://imgur.com/a/V0GuOB6
Lol that wholesale price is about average (and lower than other bigger brands).
The new shit they have been posting on the Instagram is really dope. Tony Latham is incredible to watch.

Big Tony Latham fan. Hope he gets a board sooner or later

Is it any different from p stones bru edits tho? It’s just one side of skating. I’m old enough now where it’s lame to advertise cause of the kids but it’s also just what skate trips are and always have been. I feel like itll tame after the first few seasons drop and they create more of identity.
Also just realized Zach wallin didn’t get on. That’s a bummer . Be cool to see him on chocolate like they talked about on his nine club.

It really is just skate culture, the amount of times I’ve seen a fuck up for fun 20 year old openly crush bud ice infront of the kids at the park is honestly depressing

Skating is fun. Having a beer with your mates is fun. What's the big issue?

I don’t think it’s wrong to have beers with your mates. Have at it. I think the instagram introduction photos of every dude with a beer and gas station sunglasses or shotgunning beers down your board is a cheap look. That’s all.

The drinking is going to make this brand a hit for 15 year olds that have just "gotten used to the taste of beer" and hit up the park after successful shoulder tapping. I'm way too old for that of course, but can't see how the brand image is really going to make it a lasting brand. I'll ride almost any brand, but would purposefully avoid buying this one as a result.
-
I know that they are highlighting the party and fun aspects of their riders right now, but they should show a bit more skating to launch themselves. I guess until we see a video and product drop I will be a bit reserved about what they do from here on out.

If you follow them on instagram they post plenty of skating on their stories.

You guys are a bunch of squares, party footage is funny. Tiltmode has always been that. Enjoi was that until maybe after bag of suck. Louie was full tiltmode and full enjoi. Jacuzzi is full Louie. I love it.
I wonder how many of you were laughing at tiltmode vids or the “I’ve never had a shaved head in my entire life” when bag of suck came out. And if you weren’t, well, you might be a square. You probably have a nice liver though, it’s maybe just not the most interesting liver at parties.
-
I think I’ve said it on this thread already but skating just needs a party brand . It’s part of skating. Slap loves gx1000 , you ever skate with them? It’s beers or twisted teas and joints at the spot then grilling meat and hanging out and going to sketchy bars at night at least was when I spent a couple days with those guys and the same for hanging out with the pedlow/baker crew in LA. It might come off as lame cause we’re old but that’s what the kids are about .

you guys actually think it’s cool that louie and caswell are still going as hard as they did during bag of suck? i personally think it’s weird and kinda sad

Y’all do sound lame as fuck. Most of those kids are young and partying. As long as they don’t pile out there just acting like every other 20 something. As for Louie and caswell let them have beers while hanging with the crew. Maybe they can seperate party skate homie sesh and personal life. Like I can be square around my kid but I mean if I’m at the spot and there’s beers I’ll take one. It’s skateboarding.

It needs a driving force. In many industries, where the industry media wouldn't drive it (and there's no way thrasher/nine club/whoever else we consider industry media would ever) then it was people within the industry who had strong social media presence and felt safe enough to speak out.
It's only very recent (as in last couple years) that teams even had more than one woman. There's no way anyone felt safe enough to speak out.
There's insta comments here and there but it needs to come from within the industry first.

I know it was mentioned on the first page of this thread, but I still don’t understand how they’re using the name “Jacuzzi”. There’s no way they’re not going to have to end up changing the name, even with the “unlimited” in there.
You wouldn’t be able to go start a brand called “Coca Cola Unlimited” and be like “nah it’s different, see?”

Haha you right, it just seems like bad business to start a brand with another brand’s name, in your name.
At least with Quasi/Mother, they were probably unaware of the other brand when they started

The guy who runs my local shop said he spoke with Louie Barletta. They will be selling Jacuzzi boards in the next few weeks and also doing a local "premier" for their video soon.
Apparently Louie told him that his lawyer said he couldn't use the name Jacuzzi Unlimited due to legal issues, so the actual name of the company is Jacuzzi Unlimited Skateboard Company (or something like that). They just call it Jacuzzi Unlimited for short.

Yeah, it’s the same as Hockey. They only use the word Hockey on most of their product but the actual company name on paper is Hockey Eyes Without A Face.

It’s fucked up if you’re insinuating that Louie some how had anything to do with Ben’s passing.. All of enjoi’s riders stayed on that brand it seems for Louie… Louie stayed on that sinking ship for them.

Louie is solid dude who has given a lot more to skateboarding than he has received. Though the tank is a pretty sweet perk.
Jacuzzi and Opera gear will ship between the 15th and 18th of this month, so it's coming quick. Some really rad gear too, the boards will reflect the boards riders actually ride. Dilo's board even has wheel wells, cause he's into them. Clothes are high quality shit too, but they will be kind of costly. Slappy's are under Sidewalk distribution too, good bet they become an actual contender in the truck market, which is no small feat.
Video is in the works, shop premieres confirmed. Looking at a tour next year too. They are doing it all real proper, I think they've got a solid chance of being really successful, without having to learn on corporate backers, which is rad to see. Buy that shit!

Video is in the works, shop premieres confirmed. Looking at a tour next year too. They are doing it all real proper, I think they've got a solid chance of being really successful, without having to learn on corporate backers, which is rad to see. Buy that shit!
I definitely will be buying some jacuzzi gear, I remember enjoi touring in the late 00’s as a kid. Louie always gave everyone his time. Couldn’t think of a skater I’d rather support.
-
I’m stoked they are making a video or edit out the gate like this. And as you
Said it seems they are doing this proper stoked dilo is being hooked up. I’m definitely gonna grab something a deck a hat something.

New video coming September 1st, saw the new post but feel like it should be continued in this thread.

I can’t wait for a Tone Latham part. He dork tricks just seem to embody Enjoi….or Jacuzzi or whatever.

I like the flavor board, long with the hoodie. Why have nestor on if you're not going to give him a pro board ?
Does anyone know who is doing the video stuff for Jacuzzi
-
opera's run turned out pretty rad, really dig that sword graphic
13.8 wb on the bit sounds like my kinda board

I love that salamanders tee. Man I love the vibe of Jacuzzi already. Can't wait for the vid!

Def gonna cop a jacuzzi for my next board. The 8.375 egg shape looks fun.
The bit from opera seems fucking ideal

Damn that catalog was super sick wtf, it is like if all timers, enjoi , sci-fi, and 917 had a baby.
-
looks like the site took down the pics of the catalog, bummer :'(

turn gus pro louie you know you want to i know your body

I think Tony will get a board first, or at the same time.
Gus is good but Tony’s casual ability to rip is mind blowing.
Dilo board is looking real nice

No screenshot but I noticed the “epoxy glue + 7 ply” under each board, if these are resin 7 in disguise I could be down.

At least they’re not running the palace 14.84 WB on a 8.25 board.

Premiere was super dope. Video's about 16 minutes long but it's the right length with minimal filler.
Boards are $70-75 depending on the size. There were 8" through 9" popsicles and a 9.18"(?) shaped. Shirts are $40 and I think hoodies are $80?

Graphics’s look good to me, although I give a fuck about board graphics.
But probably too old and not cool enough anymore for such a shirt.
Anyway, I hope it will work out for them and can’t wait for the video.

I had to cop the Louie board and a tee at the premier. The video was amazing, it was the perfect combo of gnarliness and fun. Kind of what you would expect from an enjoi video but this feels distinctly different. I feel like people on here will overall fuck with it.

That’s my boy Gus, no relation to Gus bus tho. He’s been known to ride my board around the house every now and then :’)
One of my friends did say that the graphics looked like Sci Fi’s, but goofier. It’s a good comparison. Both companies do simple graphics on solid color backgrounds. It just looks good.

Can guarantee/confirm the boards (and also Opera) are made at the DSM (Dwindle) factory. The factory was not part of Dwindle's sale and is still owned by Globe, which made this possible.
Globe is also helping with all the Sidewalk distribution side of things (especially overseas distribution) and I've been told are gradually moving away from any relationship with the previous Dwindle brands.

Shit tons of flat after the bolts then the kick really gets steep. The actual end angle of the kick is normal, but it will probably feel much steeper. Concave is minimal. Its the same shapes Enjoi had with Dwindle, same shop.

i admit that i don't use instagram so maybe/probably am missing whatever these guys are up to, but i'm finding this brand really weak so far.
i think instead of dropping that video which i don't think i'll go back to (like most things these days) they should have maybe released two or three shorter videos this year showing just some of the team each time, like the baker videos last year or whenever that was. would've kept them in your face at least.
from where i'm standing it almost feels like this brand doesn't exist. i know they're new and it's early days - but i'm truly not feeling anything about them.
edit: maybe he just didn't want to be part of it, but if i was bringing any of those am dudes from the last days of enjoi over - it would've been ryan connors for sure!

I reached out to Louie and Jeff about my depression and suicidal thoughts and they just told me to figure it out on my own. I thought they would have had a more serious reaction considering Ben but that was not the case. It’s just dwindle corporate nonsense with a new name. Never meet your hero’s.

That’s me. I quit. Louie and the TM just want riders to party and get fucked up. I was taking SSRI’s before I got on and after a few months partying only made things worse. I reached out to Louie and Jeff about my depression and suicidal thoughts and they just told me to figure it out on my own. I thought they would have had a more serious reaction considering Ben but that was not the case. It’s just dwindle corporate nonsense with a new name. Never meet your hero’s.
if not true and ur trolling or making shit up, then fuck outta here.
Not trolling. I’ve been hesitant to post about it because I have to openly tell the world I’m depressed and suicidal but maybe this will help in the long run
Forsure, I believe you. Reaching out and asking for help is always the hardest part, so you've already gotten past that barrier. I'd relay these feelings to your close friends and family, I'm sure they'll be much more encouraging than Louie was. That's wack that those dudes weren't supportive, really alters my view on this brand as a whole. No longer wanna support these guys or what they do in the future.
I'm sure speaking up will help you in the long run. You're a crazy talented skater and more opportunities will come, just believe in yourself and trust that things will lighten up. We'll all be rooting for you.
-
I dm’d like a man- that’s legit him he sent me a photo of him logged in. Damn man fuck Louie for real, that’s so awful.
-
Jesus man this is incredibly disheartening to hear. Wish you the best.

if this is true this already mediocre brand is gonna crash n burn :'(

I just got a welfare check from the local police because Louie called in. Crazy to think that he decided to do it once I spoke out and not last month when I told him and the TM.
-
Fuck Jeff, Louie and this corny ass company. Louie should know better but clearly does not AT ALL. Imagine being close to 50 and thinking it's okay to treat someone like that...
Daniel, thank you for speaking out
-
Turns out even Louie was a douchebag, fuck that shit. Sending a “welfare check” is even more fucked given the typical respondents to those incidents.
-
fuck that guy
-
Good stuff for calling it out. I've been on SSRIs and the combo with alcohol was a real issue for me (I work in the alcohol industry).
If you ever need to chat to a stranger, I'm always happy to share experiences. I wrote a few articles about mental health and am always happy to share thoughts and experience if anyone needs.
-

Yeah, police only welfare checks are not good looks.
Good on you for recognizing it was not a good situation and getting out and then for putting yourself out there even further.

I bumped into Louie today at Safeway randomly. First pro skater I’ve ever met in person and he seemed really chill, I was shaking for a few minutes after.
Was Heath there buying chocolates at Safeway as well?
Edit:
I read about Daniel’s experience after that attempt for humour and Would have just saved it.
You showed immense courage/awareness recognizing there was an issue and quitting so quick, leaving the check/opportunity on the table. With that kind of awareness You could help a lot of people at some point, if you were ever compelled.
Sorry for the unsolicited recommendations:
I take this stuff super seriously as I’ve been through opiate addiction issues which eventually brought on that ideation. I’m so sorry you were treated that way, in my experience speaking up is the best thing you can do. I’d also strongly recommend a councillor of sorts if you’re ready/can afford it. Surround yourself with family and trusted friends, even a new group. You have everything to offer these brands skating and taste wise, you’ll find the right place in time.
Jerry Hsu/MJ are the redeeming factor of this groups history, beyond that I’ve never cared…thankful for that after hearing this Something in the water up there? Daryl and now this…yikes

I have been a fan since your foundation days, loved your footage in monnie and thought you were going to blow the fuck up with jacuzzi.
That shit is fucked. I've been in a similar situation, where I felt that the trust in someone you think has your best interests would be maintained but the other party was more concerned about their own world. There's easier ways to attempt to give a shit that don't involve getting the cops involved for fucks sake.
I get Louie not wanting to have another team member off themselves. But to ignore it until it is critical, and then call it in makes me think he didn't learn much from Ben. Especially when its essentially a reboot of the tiltmode, enjoi, drink, party and stack footage model. Unforunately it should've been an opportunity to correct the course and figure out how to prevent all this from happening again. Not buying shit from them now.
Please take care of yourself and reach out if you need anything.

That’s fucked up what happened after you reaching out man. I know how hard that is!
I know this isn’t the place for it but I’ve been on ssri’s for yrs and have had countless battles with depression and anxiety as well as drinking. I recently had to self administer myself into the psyc ward just to get the help I needed as I was at rock bottom…
Speaking from experience I guess is what I’m trying to get at, So if you ever need somebody to talk about anything at all just shoot me a dm man. Just remember you aren’t alone with these battles. Much love

Much love to you ABQBBQ, I'm a big fan of your skating and I have mad respect for your being so open about mental health.
There's a pretty great community of people that do a thing called DBSA, the Depression Bipolar Support Alliance. They have (bi)weekly meetings all over the Bay Area, and most of the country. Check out a meeting, they're the best. I think there are zoom versions now, but it's cool to go in person. Totally free. Nothing to join. Nothing you have to believe. Best shit ever. Just people sharing their struggles with depression and bipolar with other people who struggle. Optionally there are groups to include family of those who struggle.
How are you reading this wellness check thing? Is it like a completely fucked-up SWATing-esque power move on Louie's behalf, is it him trying to cover his ass, is it a sincere, albeit rather naive attempt at caring, or was something lost in translation?
-
Turns out even Louie was a douchebag, fuck that shit. Sending a “welfare check” is even more fucked given the typical respondents to those incidents.
Not to argue, but situations like this could be difficult I’d imagine. What would you think someone should do, as an ex employer, with a suicidal disgruntled employee?
I totally get that that there’s a feeling that all police are evil and bringing them into the situation makes things worse, but what, in your view, should Louie do in this situation?
-
responding to a year old post with human resources handbook nonsense, classic newphone
I’m pretty sure that post is from yesterday.
I asked what he thinks Louie should have done if he’s worried about an ex rider and already had one rider die of suicide in the past.
But yeah, not willing to immediately assume the worst of and condemn someone without more careful consideration of the situation, classic me.
-
fuck this company man, that is awful
-
Damn that’s fucked up. Hope you can get help and thanks for speaking out.
-
Almost tempted to let the actual jacuzzis im in-law related to know that
1) a San Jose brand is claiming Berkeley territory
2) the whole name usage think that I can’t believe has been legally vetted
-
That is fucked up. Glad you're ok @ABQBBQ .
-
Think it’s fucking great you decided to speak out. I’m hopeful something positive will come out of this for you and others. Some great thoughts in here already… will just say that some people are toxic and need to be cut out, even if they’re your employer. Your well being in the long term is way more important.
Fingers crossed Louie and Jeff can learn from this in a real way, all the Jaccuzzi promo so far has been super Enjoi 2.0 which as others have mentioned seemed pretty tasteless after Ben’s passing, so not totally surprised they still have their heads in the sand on this topic. Truly never meet your heroes.

I know this isn’t directed at me but as someone going through something similar:
First Louie and the guys at JU shouldn’t have said “not my problem, figure it out yourself.” Any reasonable person would have at first offered sympathy, ESPECIALLY considering Louie was around for Bens death. Since Louie is running a company, he should have given or subsidized counselling/therapy/any other type of help for him out of recognition that “hey, we’re this guys employer, we should do what we need to help him get better.” And if not for that, at least do it out of human decency.
Even if their is no legal mandate for them to offer him any support, Louie/JU still should have. I mean its not like Louie’s just some guy, he’s running a company with some sort of assets and Louie himself has a level of influence within skateboarding, so there should have been the means available to provide counselling/etc.
They also could have just said “yeah man sorry to hear that, if you just want to focus on skateboarding or just take a break from it all (the company mandated partying and substance abuse) to get better, we’ll be here for you when your ready,” that could have gone a long way. Just knowing that you’re supported and have options means a lot
Edit: just wanted to add how fucked enforcing a mandate for drinking, and potentially other drugs is. Its a really slippery slope. So whack

Very fair, and yeah it was directed at anyone.
If that’s how it went down, that is certainly unbelievably bad.
At the point the wellness check was called in, is where things might have escalated too far to do anything else, is what I’m suggesting.
If I were advising someone of how to check on a disgruntled ex employee, especially one who was rightfully disgruntled because of their actions, I’d probably suggest something that didn’t involve them furthering contact with that person.
I’d like to hear Louie’s side of the situation, are there other accounts of him being basically the worst person imaginable in the past that I missed?
-
Yeah the simple answer there is not being a drunken callous asshole like Louie seems to have been. Any semblance of a support system would have been better than a “welfare check” where again, things have been known to go horrible awry.
-
Your life (and quality of life) are vastly more important than being paid less than a barista to destroy your body for 5 years of free boards. Fuck them. Glad you spoke out and glad you were aware of what a powder keg of a situation that could be for you.
I can definitely empathize with not knowing exactly how to handle something so heavy because I definitely don’t know how I would react… however, if I was in Louie’s shoes I would certainly, at the very least, hire someone who did know what to do in terms of an HR person or something… sorry that happened.
-
Sharing those things is hard at first but can shine a light long term, keep your head up king! Much love
-
ABQBBQ, I am so sorry to hear about how you were treated. Thank you for being brave in sharing those details, and for opening up about your mental health. I hope you know that there is a community that is thinking about you, and wants the best for you. I struggle with similar things, and you definitely made the right move by putting your mental health before your career.
This changes everything about how I view a group of people I once held in the highest regard.

Came straight here from somebody blowing up their insta about this. Dan, really sorry to hear you're going through this and were putting hopes in the wrong people. A lot of good advice has already been given above.
I'm going to share something that has been bugging me since Monnie released and that I've kept to myself out of discretion and a bit of illguided "neutrality" a la newphone: Drugs (legal and nonlegal) played a big role in Ben's suicide. I have no idea why the Ben foundation hasn't adressed this more directly (it was NOT just some misguided self-medication), maybe out of respect for his family's wishes. The fact that Jacuzzi is starting off with this exaggerated focus on substance abuse is in such bad taste I'd call it vile.
I am up to here with all these rotten secrets in skateboarding just to preserve idolatry. Drinking and drunks played a part in so many of the deaths we've mourned in this scene and all this "tell your friends you love them" when those guys weren't "only" depressed, but waging chemical warfare on their brains. Some examples: Van Wastell died because of a heroin addiction he got introduced to by either Dollin or Phelps. When Dustin eventually kills himself, let's remember he wasn't just having the odd cup of red too many. Phelps himself died (probably intentionally) from a fentanyl overdose. Grosso, too, albeit unintentionally. All of these are stories that should be read as substance abuse being the final killing ingredient, NOT the depression or the "accident"!!
Dan, if you're still reading: Depression is a sickness, it CAN be treated and there WILL be better times for you. But throwing any kind of substance in the mix is lethally dangerous. If you're addicted, talk to the guys above who can share their experience with simultaneously battling substances and depression. If you're not, stay as sober as you can, move as much as you can, touch the ground and breathe in the air, I believe in you.

Thats crazy. Two years ago I earned a hefty scholarship and wanted to work on an Enjoi video production at the time. Now, not so much.

Shitty back track when Caswell said he’s never heard this and only met the dude a handful of times. Who knows the truth but I’m inclined to believe the dude . Either way, Dan I hope you’re doing okay. I’ve been there with ssris and alcohol and it’s a dark path. If you ever need to talk dm me man. We’re rooting for you. More to life than skating.
-
Saying (sort of) the right thing and actually doing it are very different. I believe everything Dan said, and if they’re creating an environment where their barely paid employees are expected to drink/party and weren’t amenable to this, the damage has been done. They’re not really addressing the most serious allegations, like sending a police welfare check – just suggesting they’ve all been in touch at some point, which I don’t think was ever in doubt.
-
Ugh. Guess the Jacuzzi deck I have on ice is going to the skatepark now. And the shirt to a thrift shop. Cannot support this. Oh and fuck my handle.
-
fuck this brand
-
Also, thank you to Dan for sharing and truly hope you get the help and love you need in this world. You are not alone. You can get through this, and sincerely best wishes from another internet stranger.
-
says a lot that JU is content with ABQBBQ airing his complaints on a message board rather than making a material action towards his mental well-being. i hope you get better buddy.
-
This might be unpopular but I feel as if needs to be said, if JU (Louie) is saying they reached out, and tried to get him help, as long with Casper saying he never had this discussion with Dan, maybe the truth is somewhere in between? Not to downplay any experience Dan went through.
I am personally on SSRIs and when I've drank too much alcohol, it can be brutal. The next day or so I feel very anxious and my thoughts get going in all sorts of directions. It definitely makes the depression and anxiety worse. Once again, I want to say I'm not downplaying the experience of Dan. Whatever someone feels is valid, but maybe there is a miscommunication between the two parties? Maybe something could have been construed in a way that wasn't the intention. Anyway, I don't think Louie or Caswell deserve to be part of some witch hunt considering both their experiences with Ben and Caswell's father. I don't think it's fair to them.

I feel like there must have been some simmering anti-Louie sentiment for things to be where they are with this situation. Not to discount Dan’s account, but I feel like miscommunications happen a lot in things like this.
I know Louie seems pretty happy, but who knows what he’s going though as well when he’s communicating to Dan. Sounds like people are saying he has an alcohol problem as well, which could also be battle for some. Not sure why everyone is assuming the worst and escalating things here.
Dan certainly deserves to speak his mind and be heard though, and I hope he’s doing well. I hope he ends up somewhere good, looked at his skating and he’s super good, a pleasure to watch.

Fat Dan was the best part about this brand or the only part I was stoked on. Dan you rip and have good style and tricks. For whatever that’s worth. Louie always been a cornball lying about his age or being elusive like that’s something to be ashamed off
You need to remember the login for your mushroom slice account, so you can keep this dumb troll account consistent instead of letting the mask slip occasionally

Lurked for a long time, but this situation always bothered me enough to post, a few people were spry to point fingers… But with all due respect it seems like Dan was having a breakdown and was trying to drag Gus and all his other teammates down with him.. Hope he is getting the help he needs.
So the fact that a person having a breakdown MAY have tried dragging other people down with them is what finally made you register and revive a dormant thread? Wow that's real big of you. Surely you'll have considered the possibility that Dan may have been telling the truth and the fact that neither the Jacuzzi account nor Gus reacted appropriately on Insta. But since this is such a grave issue to you, you probably just have a better assessment of the entire situation.

Word around town, Dan is upset because he didn’t go pro instantly and just sits around and sends threatening texts to the whole team and Louie/his wife. Even though Louie has been paying for Dan’s therapy and doctors…

This just a fucked and uncomfortable situation to even talk about at this point man. I don't think it's gonna redeem the Jacuzzi camp in people's eyes and it's probably best not to pry into a former pro having an episode..

word around town is this brand sucks

I’ve been on both sides of an issue like this. It hasn’t been till I reach a more mentally stable state, that I can see how difficult it is for both Dan and the brand. I hope everyone can come together and support a learning process for both the rider and the brand.
I’ve personally have had to learn that it has to be my own desire to get better, as well, as on the other side, have had to learn how to support someone who wants and is trying to get better.

did you see that pallet stack of decks on the IG? They were pre stickered in China, meaning Zumies would of prebooked and prepayed for those. That's a huge payday for Jacuzzi.
-
Jacuzzi struck me straight away as a stupid lame ass brand since alcohol glorification was a thing for them since day one. After reading all of this I dislike the brand even more. Stupid manchildren.
@ABQBBQ mad respect and admiration for speaking up man, I hope things will come up for you the best way. For what is worth we're here in case needed.

Yeah you can’t really blame them, they already have a huge team of people with established paychecks at dwindle they likely had to match. Jacuzzi just added a few ams they prolly had waiting in the wings for enjoi anyway. They had an obvious void to fill and a team ready to go , it was basically a mail order sears house, just order and assemble.

word around town is this brand sucks
The last time we got word around town from a skater he was lying about ripping magnums. I think it's a little more likely that the party squad wasn't very good at supporting someone trying to get sober
-
It would be very hypocritical if they are not giving Dan the support he needs after Ben's death

I don't really get the whole "you can't blame them for it" mindset. A lot of brands crushing it within the last few years all had to spend years in the doldrums and working hard to get to where they are now. I think we should call out a brand who are so lazy in their designs that they take Times New Roman, make it all capitals, and italicize it to make their entire logo. Let Louie's contacts at Zumiez order it all they want, but I wouldn't be caught dead wearing anything from this brand.

I forgot about that cover. Just shows how absolutely lazy they are to steal their entire brand identity from something David Byrne came up with almost 50 years ago. I mean, look at any number of their godawful designs and graphics. It's uninspired and lazy.
-
The company is a direct lineage from a brand that made Manorexic Jeans and graphics of Pandas humping. I don't think they give a shit about keeping it core by staying out of Zumiez.

At the end of the day people need to get paid , zumiez is a huge chain they had an established relationship with why should they just suffer being an underground skate brand for years when then can just do what want and the team gets paid.

My point is really that I don't think we should celebrate a brand like Jacuzzi, especially with them getting a big deal with Zumiez. It's pretty absurd that there's a lot of guys around who seem to think because some skater put out good parts 20 years ago that he deserves to be paid. It's a bunch of phoniness, copying what was big like three years ago and repackaging it to consumers. What pisses me off the most is that all of their art is stock imagery. The J balloon in a cowboy hat? Stock image. The horse? Another stock image. All of that shit is wack as fuck.

One of the cool things about skateboarding is that we all get the appreciate and celebrate different aspects of it. I think it is totally fine for you to hold this viewpoint but I don't think the brand deserves unanimous hate for any of these reasons. If skaters want to support Louie because he put out their favourite part 20 years ago or support guys like Gus Bus, Andrea, Joey, etc because they are up & comers I don't really see the issue. I also think Zumiez or other similar bigger less core shops are necessary if you want to be able to grow your brand. They are still supplying skaters with wood and are still a starting point for lots of young skaters, I agree they are corny but I fail to see why picking up a large account is a bad thing for the brand or for the whole of skateboarding.
Also I'm not saying you're wrong but now I'm curious, I tried reverse image searching that J graphic and couldn't find any stock art, can you link it up with where you found that?

Haven't followed this closely, but I look at hip hop (and, I suppose, electronic) producers in the following way regarding sampling:
If a producer "discovers" a sample in a pre-existing song -- meaning finds a bit of music, isolates it, and then loops it up over and over -- and compliments it with new drums and bass (and other sounds), and gives a rapper a new canvas to place lyrics over, said producer basically creates a new work of art (even if it based heavily on that existing music). I find that of value. I enjoy the art of sampling. They are basically re-purposing that initial pre-existing song and adding enough new elements that they (and the rapper) are then associated with the pre-existing song. They've introduced it to a whole new audience that may have never been exposed or appreciated the initial work. I would describe this as an nbd. Like taking an existing trick to a new spot.
What I find less impressive (though, on occasion, still of [albeit lesser] value) is when a subsequent producer utilizes the same music sample that has already been re-purposed, or even less impressive, samples the actual song that the first producer created with the sample already contained within it. Sure, a different rapper may be adding his lyrics now...but a producer (and rapper) has already planted their flag into that sample. It's inherently kind of an abd.
Now, the record industry has decided that, in all occasions, the original creator (or the otherwise owner of the work) has to be asked for his or her consent/approval, and be given credit and (at least the opportunity) to require financial participation. The risk the producers and their record labels run is that the original creator/owner can put an injuction on the re-purposed music, having it pulled from shelves, or even demand most of the money earned from it to be given to them retroactively.
I personally am not a stickler for giving credit or payments -- I think fair use should be pushed to the limits -- but it is essentially the law. And giving the original creator/owner a say has some value, at least, for instance in a case where, say, a neo-nazi band wants to sample an African-American or Jewish artist's music; said artist has the right to prevent that from happening to their material.
Others, however, see no value in sampling and frown upon anything that isn't an original creation.
I guess I look at re-purposing art for skateboard decks, or placing an existing-song on a skate vid soundtrack, as my stance on sampling: It's cool to bring a drawing or photo to a new audience, maybe change it up a bit (or a lot).
But it takes on a new life, at least in my mind, when it gets put on a board, with the name of a company (or a pro's name) on it. Or if you hear someone skating to [insert song here] for the first time. It's an nbd. I see the value. If another company then subsequently uses the same graphic or skates to the same song, it's an abd.
But, yeah, I think it's a moral (and legal) question of if the skate company has to negotiate with and/or credit the original artist.

What I find less impressive (though, on occasion, still of [albeit lesser] value) is when a subsequent producer utilizes the same music sample that has already been re-purposed, or even less impressive, samples the actual song that the first producer created with the sample already contained within it. Sure, a different rapper may be adding his lyrics now...but a producer (and rapper) has already planted their flag into that sample. It's inherently kind of an abd.
Now, the record industry has decided that, in all occasions, the original creator (or the otherwise owner of the work) has to be asked for his or her consent/approval, and be given credit and (at least the opportunity) to require financial participation. The risk the producers and their record labels run is that the original creator/owner can put an injuction on the re-purposed music, having it pulled from shelves, or even demand most of the money earned from it to be given to them retroactively.
I personally am not a stickler for giving credit or payments -- I think fair use should be pushed to the limits -- but it is essentially the law. And giving the original creator/owner a say has some value, at least, for instance in a case where, say, a neo-nazi band wants to sample an African-American or Jewish artist's music; said artist has the right to prevent that from happening to their material.
Others, however, see no value in sampling and frown upon anything that isn't an original creation.
I guess I look at re-purposing art for skateboard decks, or placing an existing-song on a skate vid soundtrack, as my stance on sampling: It's cool to bring a drawing or photo to a new audience, maybe change it up a bit (or a lot).
But it takes on a new life, at least in my mind, when it gets put on a board, with the name of a company (or a pro's name) on it. Or if you hear someone skating to [insert song here] for the first time. It's an nbd. I see the value. If another company then subsequently uses the same graphic or skates to the same song, it's an abd.
But, yeah, I think it's a moral (and legal) question of if the skate company has to negotiate with and/or credit the original artist.
I know Rocco wasn’t the graphic design team with World but he should probably go down in history as a contemporary to Warhol because he and set the standard for barging copyrights and repurposing images for mass production.
Enjoi’s founders and lineage is World Industries.It just is. So when I see board companies owned by riders who were in close proximity to Rocco it doesn’t surprise me when they do something controversial with their art direction. Oddly, what Jacuzzi is doing seems different. Cloaking an image seems shadier than than just blatantly copying it. And it’s not just Jacuzzi lifting obscure or preexisting images to define their aesthetic. Does it go this deep to sell boards? Who knows. I’m sure we can go on and on about how you define a bite versus duplication to grab people’s attention. but GH was right in his last rant about Ai. “Just stop” But oftentimes no means yes for abusers. whatever.

Well, yeah, A.I. is pretty much wack all around as far as artwork is concerned.

did you see that pallet stack of decks on the IG? They were pre stickered in China, meaning Zumies would of prebooked and prepayed for those. That's a huge payday for Jacuzzi.
Yeah you can’t really blame them, they already have a huge team of people with established paychecks at dwindle they likely had to match. Jacuzzi just added a few ams they prolly had waiting in the wings for enjoi anyway. They had an obvious void to fill and a team ready to go , it was basically a mail order sears house, just order and assemble.
I’ve actually already seen an obvious not “skater” running a jacuzzi board at the bar the recently. They’ll do well
I mean who said just because it’s a “new” company they had to be like some original core thing. This is just continuing enjoi which was already the most mall core brand within like 6 years of its existence. I graduated high school 14 years ago and the amount of panda shirts I saw from 2005-2010 is insane.
At the end of the day people need to get paid , zumiez is a huge chain they had an established relationship with why should they just suffer being an underground skate brand for years when then can just do what want and the team gets paid.
I hear you, I’m not saying that though. I’m saying the dudes they brought on from dwindle deserve to get paid like dilo, pilz, the ams getting their first shot. I could give a fuck about graphics anymore, the best skate graphics were done in the 90s and we’ve regressed since. But my opinion doesn’t matter I’m skating a pharmacy board with a wolf howling at a moon cause it’s 30 bucks and they use dlx wood and shapes and I’ve been skating that same 8.25 shape for like 6 years. I get where you’re coming from but I’d rather see dudes who put in work get paid then be on a team with the most original core graphics.

That's why Jerry is a genius putting on GH because Gen Z seems to love him. I asked one of my students the other week if he had watched BHADW2 yet. A few days later he comes to me and talks about the video, but of all people calls out Jon Dickson, saying he couldn't stand his style and watching him skate. I was confused and told him how sick Dickson is and how good he is, albeit maybe his clothing choice is a little too blue collar bland. The student replied with "no his arms are annoying with his skate style". I just said I had never really noticed.
Skip ahead a week or so and the Gifted Hater BHADW2 review comes out, and GH says exactly how Jon Dickson always has the same arm pose when landing. Then I put it together, remembering this particular kid has told he me subscribes to GH's Patreon, and also thinking about past things my students have said (about SOTY, etc), that kids will literally parrot GH's viewpoints and try to pass them off as their own.
I guess I used to do this somewhat as a kid, but definitely made me roll my eyes.

The student replied with "no his arms are annoying with his skate style". I just said I had never really noticed.
Skip ahead a week or so and the Gifted Hater BHADW2 review comes out, and GH says exactly how Jon Dickson always has the same arm pose when landing. Then I put it together, remembering this particular kid has told he me subscribes to GH's Patreon, and also thinking about past things my students have said (about SOTY, etc), that kids will literally parrot GH's viewpoints and try to pass them off as their own.
I guess I used to do this somewhat as a kid, but definitely made me roll my eyes.
To be fair, there’s adult posters here that do that exact same thing.
Everyone loved Tom Knox here until GH had an opinion.
Waiting for everyone to backpedal on Casper Brooker now from the GH effect.
I will always love tom knox, and regret selling make friends with the colour blue to a slapper

That's why Jerry is a genius putting on GH because Gen Z seems to love him. I asked one of my students the other week if he had watched BHADW2 yet.

Fuck I gotta buy a six pack of something not pbr when I go to the store next now cause I been drinking way too many lately. In all fairness I’m cheap and the other brand are rice based malts and give me headaches. But maybe I’ll get an ipa or go to the craft beer store on the way home tomorrow and get a nice sour or something .

the temu commercial that’s played like 15 times during the super bowl is pretty sci-fi fantasycore

sounds like convenience to me, and convenience is 100% acceptable
some may frown on it but the voodoo ranger juice force i feel like is a good go to

Not gonna lie, I’m kinda bummed I quit drinking before the shitty Baja blast hard seltzer dropped. I know it would be shitty and I know I would have loved it.

They’re pretty good. What I wish I could find still though was the energy drink ones. I imagine mixing the two together is the closest thing you’d get to a Baja blast 4 loko
I’ll have to try the juice force, unfortunately we don’t have lone star here. All the good Texas/louisiana beers I haven’t seen in years. I’d love a purple haze or magic hat type beer these days.

Caswell and Nestor have long been the best part of the brand. We need a full Nestor part soon, he looks a little stiffer these days with aging but still stylish as ever.

For what it’s worth, I'm pretty sure that text comes screenprinted on the deck and John didn’t write that himself.

I’m riding Dilo’s 8.5 WW from them and it said something about dolphins using half their brain when they sleep or something. All of the jacuzzi decks have little sayings or inside jokes on the top ply.
Long way of saying this is 100% definitely just a joke.
Yeah, I understand it’s a joke and that dilo didn’t write it, but I still think it’s tasteless and not funny (much like everything jacuzzi has done thus far). So I guess my comment was directed at dilo for reposting, but mostly jacuzzi

What a dumb time we live in, nobody can make jokes now?
It's a skateboard graphic, obviously a quote from a movie or lyric.
No need to take it personally.

Does this count as boomer-cringe?
Jacuzzi leans into the same kind of humour but is definitely mellower overall.

I’m going to be honest. I like Louie but I don’t give a fuck about this team. Seems like beating a dead horse.

boomer-cringe: anti-social statements of blunt disregard that activate the laugh reflex in pea-brain sexagenarians because it reinforces ingrained habit of self-justification via the ridicule of the relatively lower status of others, sadism being a common feature of boomer humor.
