FA ;D

I'm gonna assume there's no source for this other than "trust me bro"

His source is, “Trust me bro” and is backed up by a Euro TM

FA ;D
They’d both probably have to give up their surf-rooted clothing sponsor signature lines.
Would be a good fit and FA needs to do something.
I always thought Curren would be a good Baker fit.
-
just noticed Curren doesn't have skate mental listed in his insta bio anymore
edit: looks like Curren deleted an insta story within a few minutes range of this thread getting posted and he has been known to accidentally post on his main account instead of his finsta in the past, so I guess there is a very small chance Curren accidentally leaked he and Jake are on Fa, deleted it and that's why this thread exists.

Why would you think that? Curren is clean and well kept and every one on Baker looks like they comb their hair with a fish bone they found in the trash can (Spanky excluded)

Rowan and Theotis are relatively clean cut too. Plus the RVCA connection and the fact that Baker hasn’t really had too many transition guys.

Yeah the baker boys have a dirtbag charm and curren is way clean cut. I don't understand at all why this dude thought it could be a fit.
-
Would rather see curren in baker then FA - if he’s of skatemental thatcsuck tho I was looking foreword to there video that was supposed to come out .
If there both going to FA it’s just going to further dilute there image - it’s be really funny to see them both start wearing tucked in wife beaters though haha
-
Idk if I believe this. But the check has gotta be better from FA than Skate mental. Both dudes are rippers and both are homies with Louie I thought. And wasn’t both suppose to be on the 3rd fa brand with Louie and Gillette? So it adds up to me. But I’m bad at math.
Last thing with tyshawn gone they may need some more dudes that produce. And maybe they want more people like Louie who totally rip and are more of a skaters skater than someone like swan who just wants to look pretty.
-
currens school photo better be wearing a flip tee
-
They’re gonna need to cut back on their output if they’re on FA.

Louie’s wasn’t, but it could have been a mini-series

Ah, see I never think of Theotis
Rowan ain’t dirty, but he’s not clean cut.

Curren and Jake were both on SM boards yesterday.

just in time for fa in zumiez

I'd say Casper is pretty clean cut as well. While Curren and baker are far from being an obvious fit I do think it could work, especially in this curren era of his career

Sure but Casper I don’t think fits well either, but works because he was a major obsessive in his youth

haha thanks, happy to see you appreciate it, that's one of my favorite clips ever (might be my number one favorite)

Dill told them they’d get on only if they didn’t take SLS seriously, which is why Jake was just dorking around the whole competition

is blake carpenter on skate mental? he’s been skating their boards a lot recently.
-
Couldn't believe this any less
-
I would be bummed if they left SM. They have a great team and have a full length coming out this year. I also actually really like the brand, which I know a lot of people aren’t very fond of.
-
That Curren Caples is so hot right now...
-
I wouldn’t be surprised if this happened. FA is pretty stagnant feels like they’re shedding the cool guy dill adjacent riders for some more AVE like powerhouses (Berle, Louie) that don’t really fit the New York cool guy vibe the brands been known for. Also as pointed out Curren took skate mental out of his bio but still has all his other sponsors listed, and Jake’s only pinned clip is him at last years FA car contest. Make of that what you will.
-
i wonder how mason feels about all of this
Gainfully employed
-
I think adding some clean cut guys actually makes a lot of sense for FA as they reach and surpass their ten year mark as a brand.
I dont know about you guys but I get the sense that the New York cool guy, hyper edgy graphic and videos are getting played out to the point of corniness. By adding Curren and Jake they definitely appeal to people that don't want cocaine dad graphics or whatever FA puts out. Also as a brand ages so does it's consumers, so adding pros that appeal to late 20s early 30s skaters that have money to spend also makes sense.
-
It’ll be funny if FA is the one to add Jake, Curren instead of Real. Kinda like adding BA and McCrank for Girl. If they steal Mason from Real that’d be crazy.

I agree with this to an extent but also am confused as to how FA could change its image and re gain a cool/ core brand formula (which I think they lost years ago) - them buying out some top performers as they start selling in Zumiez doesn’t really appeal to me as someone in his mid 20s - I’m sure my opinion isn’t that different from people 3-10 years older then me.
It makes them seem rich and washed. Louie worked as an outlier on the team - he’s like the one honors student who gets down with the rejects after school or something. If anything I wish FA would focus on being a kind of legends or og team - with hockey having a bunch of more active young rippers. Especially with dill being an old guy now - his generation is filled with ogs that deserve some shine as they get older , instead he’s just tryna poach kids and re brand them all as the same shit he dreamed up coked out like 20 years ago
-
It’s happening.
Sorry austyn
-
Both of them are still riding Skate Mental boards as of Saturday.
-
i would actually fuck with FA heavily if dill did that

I don't know if it's happening or not but I don't think anyone buying FA actually cares about the "image" to the extent you're ascribing.

True true, I find myself in a vacuum sometimes - also to this extent though - FA should j start sponsoring actors - I’d buy a FA Timothy chaumelot pro board or wtf that teenage heart throb kids name is .

Austyn cleared this on his recent “out there”. Basically, Dill’s third brand, which was gonna be headed by austyn, didn’t come through bc of bad timing from both parties.
@The Mexican Nancy Chin - yea just read that rn thanks, but that was 3 years ago and nakel isn’t the “leader of the team” at FA anymore calling the shots who gets on
Funny how dill had that same role on the latter years of AWS and dipped to do his own thing just like nakel with king

Dan Plunkett. Therefore Skate Mental > FA and it's not close.

Idk if I believe this. But the check has gotta be better from FA than Skate mental. Both dudes are rippers and both are homies with Louie I thought. And wasn’t both suppose to be on the 3rd fa brand with Louie and Gillette? So it adds up to me. But I’m bad at math.
Last thing with tyshawn gone they may need some more dudes that produce. And maybe they want more people like Louie who totally rip and are more of a skaters skater than someone like swan who just wants to look pretty.
I think the brand was gonna be based on Jake Anderson Louie and Austyn

iirc at that time Louie wasn't in the mix
Wasn't Mason the third one ? (he was on Former at the time)

And now imagine skatemental steals Louie and get Blake carpenter on to complete the super team just in time for the full length coming out 🤯

This was one of the most corny, expensive, and grandiose name drops I've seen. We get it, Dill; you're friends with Chloë Sevigny.

Because it's actually easier to click on either the first or last of the bio @’s, I've been CC’d on such nitpicky nonsense but first and last have higher engagement for longer periods of time after click than an @ “sandwiched”

you think the FA team votes who gets in like antihero does? bc idk if elijah would be down for Jake since, you know, he's super tight with austyn and stuff
He said that's how it works in an interview: "Anyone who gets on is voted on. Each pro votes yes or no. The whole thing is a democracy and pretty much outta my hands." https://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/the-search-for-the-perfect-am/
Wow that’s really interesting. Deadass never would’ve thought FA was like that, I def thought it was a dictatorship run by Dill. I guess Austyn not being voted on is a plausible theory
@The Mexican Nancy Chin - yea just read that rn thanks, but that was 3 years ago and nakel isn’t the “leader of the team” at FA anymore calling the shots who gets on
Funny how dill had that same role on the latter years of AWS and dipped to do his own thing just like nakel with king
Not sure if I missed a thread on Austyn's 'Out There', but even so it deserves a second recognition for how utterly WACK that shit was. "Dylan was my best friend and he died but we're doing this event and also let me transition harshly to myself jerking off about how cool I also am"

Yeah, so this is a video edited by Thrasher… Austyn doesn’t reminisce about his deceased friend and then immediately choke the chicken. I’ll give you that the man is pretty tooly, but I’m glad Dylan’s memory is being carried on by more than just a baby in a suit FA board and buff Berle jamming himself into Dylan’s clothes, doing impossibles 5 times a part.

Yeah, I think tons of guys have thought about it but then decided they rather not deal with it. I believe that's why Apples didn't decide to create something at Kayo with Kalis, and Koston/Guy who always had the name stature to easily create a brand didn't really do it until they got into some sort of financial dispute with Crail leading to both of them leaving (I believe Koston is on record saying he never thought he'd ever leave Girl).

Mmm don’t know if they were ever showcasing kids from the slums. Cherry was about giving the underseen city kids a spotlight. I guess you’re talking about Tyshawn as a slum dweller, which seems….gross. But since then they’ve added Gino, Elijah, and Touzery, so it’s not like this some recent trend. It’s more like treating Louie like Lebron and hoping he’ll stick around if you hire his friends

it was a joke & it wasnt intended to sound that way, i’m saying that’s the image that dill is going for or was by the things he says. i don’t think any of them are from the slums, i just meant dill calling them his children & all of that is him creating a narrative that they don’t come from much in order to be edgy. how is that analogy grosser than a brand called “dirty ghetto kids” or anything like that & isnt tyshawn coming from nothing to be so successful apart of his whole story?

Skatemental seems like an ideal company to ride for. They don’t tour. They don’t make videos. They just seem to let their riders do whatever they want. They don’t even try to be cool. It’s a stacked team even without curren and jake. Truthfully I’d rather watch a new Giorgio part where he does some more weirdo shit then anything FA has ever put out.
Didn’t Giorgio quit like 2 years ago? Or am
I thinking of the weird Italian name big pop guy that was on. I know there’s 2 and I’m not smart enough to know which is which.

Was gonna say Dill was living in nyc ? Or at least they’re way more at the time. And the last “nyc” person they turned pro was the likely most egregious promotion in skate history.
Still lame tho if true . Skate mental is a weird ass brand but the team right now is actually sick. But if this is what keeps Louie happy, maybe we’ll get mason too.

If these swaps go down it'll kinda be an FA 2.0 effectively. Hopefully it will be better than the 1.0 unlike many companies out there.

Violet is mostly Philly based, is it not? And I mean FA was around long before Violet was so it's kind of the other way around

Curren definitely skating that new Touzery FA board. Crazy. I really thought that nothing would come of this. The plot thickens. At this point, it's still gonna take more than that for me to actually care about FA though.

Smart re-build if you ask me. Their highest profile rider left, the rest of the OG squad isn’t super productive, and Violet is on their corner in terms of grabbing young talent.
Makes sense to build around the best guy on the team. Plus we all want to see Louie, Curren, and Jake on the same team.

Plus wasn’t it bill that kinda got the young talent on FA like a talent scout in a weird way? I know it’s dills thing but in my head it was bill that kinda curated the team. But I may be thinking of supreme or be completely wrong. If this means more Louie curren and Jake edits I’m bout it. But FA is kinda lame now any way. Never was a huge fan but they just fell off

My memory is bad but I thought dgk came from someone calling stevie a dgk so he took it and ran with it.
it was ricky oyola n co. called steve n kalis's crew " a bunch of dirty gheto kids". its in either the love park doc on video mag did, or epicly laterd. i forget
but anyways...currren on FA is kinda tight. something that you would never imagine happening 5, or even 2 years ago. that lil elijah, louie, kb edit they posted today was dope asf. KB is a national treasure lowkey.
dont even get me started on vincent.
You know if currens actually on and they have KB skating with the team out in LA for the first time in forever instead of on his typical little adventures , Dill is really going for a refresh
Curren is talented.
But, I don't think we've seen THE Curren part.
Hopefully this change and how the FA camp edits their videos may give Curren the part I want to see from him.
-
@mynameisnotjeff so maybe that vans part was a footy dump? And he’s stacking for an FA part?
-
This might be a controversial take, but Curren moving to FA could move them closer to what the brand was 10 years ago.
Curren is one of the best rn and FA needs it

THIS
BUT
THAT
Curren definitely skating that new Touzery FA board. Crazy. I really thought that nothing would come of this. The plot thickens. At this point, it's still gonna take more than that for me to actually care about FA though.

Yes, adopting a bunch of established pros is the fresh start FA needs.
Idk, I’ve never been an FA fan really, so I guess my thoughts don’t matter. I am more likely to by a curren or Louie fA board than I was a flip board, or any of the original FA team.
-
I wonder the Curren x Louie duo will fill the Tyshawn x Nak duo hole FA has.
Not to mention it would be sick if Curren & Louie share a board.
-
Kind of hard for me to shake the clean-cut image I have of him. Not that that's a bad thing, just doesn't jive with FA imo. Would prefer to see some unknown ams who kill it on the team.
-
I was there and watched it all go down. The trash can tricks were fucked up
Garvanza Extravaganza. I imagine seeing that massive kickflip board and impossible nosegrind/crook-thing (with his foot dangling) IRL was fucked. Berle still looks like an insencure 80's movie bully, but that trick was impressive and hairy in the best way.
Getting Curren (and hopefully Jake too) will be a boon for them, but unless FA focuses more on actual skating (the occasional park clips on Instagram aren't cutting it) and chills with the look-book fashionista barrage, they could be interesting. Although, something tells me we're gonna end up just seeing more shoe collabs and Dill speaking engagements.

100% agree. They could definitely use some hungry and relevant ams. That would be a better way to go.
Hockey could too. I don't understood why they only have one am now, although talented.

And then Curren and Louie quite FA to start their own brand called.......Everything Is Awesome.

I feel like we fell into the pit where there's a insane amount of new company's with unknown AMs taking the spotlights, FA needs the image that Curren and Louie brings to revitalize the old public and grow a new future/making a solid foundation.
-
FA snagging Karen and JA would be huge. they've (FA) definitely fallen off, but grabbing these heavy hitters would bring em back. not saying they would fill the Tyshawn-sized void, but it's better than maintaining their lowered production with dudes not skating or being injured. Louie can only carry FA for so long...
-

I’m not the biggest Tyshawn fan (read: not a hater - he does amazing skating but it doesn’t really do anything for me… he didn’t originally clear the table), but Curren (potential ‘23 SOTY run) or Louie (has been thiiiis close to SOTY almost every year since 2017) easily > Nakel. That’s not even a question. Arguably, Nakel leaving FA and not even getting replaced would be a +1 for FA, considering the baggage dude brought with him re: L*tties
Curren and Louie being a greater sum than TJ, however, is way more subjective. Curren hasn’t put out a damn thing recently until that Vans part, and TJ goes radio silent every few years as well, but the last two times he put footage out, he won SOTY. Meanwhile Louie has been putting out 10 minutes of footage a year but doesn’t have that title.
Also Jake Anderson is sick and deserves better than Skate Mental
I had too much coffee today
S/o Karen
-
That’s a good point. Curren didn’t put much out but pop up in edits for rvca every so often then did that banger vans part. And I think had a good amount of footage In a rvca edit.
My point is if curren goes to FA is he just gonna go MIA like most of FA or fill that tj spot where he actually is constantly producing something?
Jake Anderson seems to drop footy pretty regular. Fun to watch too
Curren probably can’t fill TJs shoes alone But curren and JA could. And Nak barely counts.
-
@mynameisnotjeff so maybe that vans part was a footy dump? And he’s stacking for an FA part?
Nah, he'd been working on this part for a while. He talked about it in his bunt episode last year.
Curren is talented.
But, I don't think we've seen THE Curren part.
Hopefully this change and how the FA camp edits their videos may give Curren the part I want to see from him.
To me (and I think a lot of other people as well) the vans part was THE Curren part. While I personally wish there was more transition footage, for the most part it's the Curren part I'd always wanted. I could still see him making an even better one though.

His Bunt interview was amazing for this reason. I've always thought Curren was an incredible skater, but that interview was great at giving insight on who he actually is. Def made me stop thinking about him as just some dreamt up marketing dream from SoCal.
-
Curren and Jake are extremely good adds. They skate how I wish I could skate.

Curren, Jake and Louie starting a brand under the FA camp after all would be the best case scenario here.

I think the opposite. FA was originally as core as it could be and it was considered extremely hard to get on. You had to have something about you. Curren and Jake did not have that thing/dont have that thing and wouldn't have got on back then. If they get on its almost like watering down what their whole image was.
-
That’s how I felt about Louie getting on. He doesn’t really fit FA’s image, and the only way he will, is if they veer away from that fashion-conscious image and continue adding rippers like Curren and Jake.
-

Dill knows that Louie and his friends have enough hype around them that they could easily do their own brand and are probly already getting offers to do so. He’s like the cool parent that lets the kids drink at his house so they don’t get into trouble elsewhere.

One of the craziest stalker tales I’ve ever heard.

Lets be honest. Dill knows that unproductive fashion kid from NY hype is done. He needs true skate rats that can give him good skate content. He feels the FA hate...when he put Louie on and the guy destoyed short edits like nothing it would be a signal for other dudes. Dont forget Tyshawn is of. He really need true skate rats.

That’s… actually 100 percent correct? Hm. Well said.
-
Curren is no weirder of a clean cut fit than Louie. Louie riding for Noah is a million times more odd than Curren riding for RVCA and being on FA.
-
I mean, when I think of Curren I think of Target, surfing…just stuff that doesn’t really jive with FA’s image. I know he parties, and that people and sponsors change, it’s still a bit of an odd fit to me that’s all. I thought the same about Louie though and it makes sense now, so maybe the same will happen if curren is actually on.
Plus didn’t Dill say that FA is for the kids? That’s also part of the reason why it seems like an uneven fit.

As someone else indifferent to FA, my sense is that FA actually sells a lot of decks, so presumably their riders can actually make some money from decks sales. For this alone, it's a positive.

Sage is good but only delivers 5 or 7 clips per video.
KB still in gas station
Pablo is good, but not in that high level.
Elijah rips but meh.

I feel like curren is the missing piece to a more productive fucking awesome team. Elijah, Louie and Him will definitely put pressure on the "idle" team, seeing they hanging a lot more together and being 100% more productive than the rest of the crew.

Well just to be clear, I don’t care where or whom GH lives with. But there’s been a lot of of coincidence when it comes to a thread about a very specific topic that he then touches on the same week it’s a thread on slap. Not saying he doesn’t have industry friends. But dude ain’t exactly and investigative journalist he just lurks. It’s been referenced on here for some time now that he just lurks the juicy threads and makes a video about them.
-
A good bit of the time he talks about current events or shit that just came out. Of course we’re going to be discussing the same things.
-
He streams himself coming on here on twitch all the time. And I'm sure I've seen him reference slap in youtube vids. I don't think he's trying to hide it at all. Really funny how some of you guys act like it's a gotcha moment that he gets takes from here. Our takes aren't as special as you think it is...
-

I had the stream on in the background and I'm pretty sure he said it was happening literally based on this thread.
As in he was reading this, and then said "so I guess it's happening".
-
Gottem
-
He literally was looking through this thread and it looks like he texts some one who replies that they don’t wanna say anything (suspicious, huh?), then a while later when he’s moved on he checks his phone again and says that someone else says it’s happening…….god I feel like a nerd
So verified- GH looks at slap
And probably verified - Karen and JA on FA

I’m stoked for Jake, Louie and Curren being able to get paid to skate together.
But the real alpha move would be of Jim T pulled the trigger on a new DLX board brand with those three, brought Mason over from Real. Full homie squad, Ryan Lee as filmer. It’s perfect.

No shit Karen and Jake are on FA. It’s the first post in this thread . You fucking idiots
Bro don't you know the first rule of talking about GH is to never make fun of his fans?
If what Gifted Hater does to make money is so easy, why is there not a single other soul on Earth able to do it? Because no one else has been able to pull off the trifecta of:
1) relatable, ironic, satirical commentary of current street skateboarding
2) be good at skating
3) know how to edit videos with 1) and 2) and post on YT
TBH this SLAP thread about Jake and Curren going to FA is entertaining, but a well put together GH YT video on this topic is more entertaining

I’m not saying GH videos are un watchable I’ve watched some. But I was never entertained. I’ll check more out. He does rip at skating. I don’t think he’s entertaining or original but he does rip at skating.
Also looks like the boys are on FA now. Hopefully this means they put out more footy and some sick welcome edits. FA is corny though.

I’m stoked for Jake, Louie and Curren being able to get paid to skate together.
But the real alpha move would be of Jim T pulled the trigger on a new DLX board brand with those three, brought Mason over from Real. Full homie squad, Ryan Lee as filmer. It’s perfect.
I’m really just pulling hard for this as I am so unenthused by FA.
i wouldn't be mad at this at all, i dont care for FA much either. but if they actually add jake and curren to the roster i will start to care a lot more lmao. wouldn't be shocked if mason left real, the graphics are consistently so god damn ugly and their videos feel very uninspired.
-
FA really lost it over the last few years huh?
Curren is good at playing skateboards but dude is a loaf of Wonder Bread paired with a gallon of 1% Milk that you have to consume after bible study.
-
Mason leaving real would be dumb. I get it’s with his homies. But he still skates with those dudes anyway. Leaving real bad graphics aside (getting better but who cares they scratch off after skating) for FA a company that was just based on dumb fashion being trendy and hype beast shit that’s now on the way out is not a good movie to skate with friends you skate with anyway.
Long story short mason leaving real for fa would be about as bad of a choice as leaving baker for violet.
Fa may be “cooler” than real but to most skateboarders real is more respected. And fa ain’t even cool now the trendy kids are falling off it

It's very rare for people pro on DLX to leave it. Over the past 25 years, I can only think of only a couple who left by their own volition such as Cairo to start Popwar at Giant, AA to get on Hockey and Darrell Stanton leaving for Element. Some guys found new homes outside of DLX after Rasa Libre went bust (Dylan and Omar) and some guys left when Stereo collapsed (Dollin), but I think only Omar was pro at the time, and may not have had a landing spot at DLX.

One more skate company with these 3 could be good, but industry does not need it. Its good for FA and Good for them. I back it.

A little flame to the rumors, but gifted hater said it seems like this is actually happening on stream
The guy that lives in his mom’s basement and runs a YouTube page thinks this is happening.
He's on Sci-Fi, pays his bills through streaming, and is a lot more connected than you think.
The entire universe is connected
He gets his information from slap.
I can understand not liking his takes but this is super reductionist and reactionary
He does get the majority of his talking from slap though.
In this economy living with family or family living with you makes sense
he 100% has his own place, he talks about it all the time on his patreon. he also doesn't get his info from slap, he has a lot of friends in the industry. man literally is friends with mason silva lol
I had to literally laugh out loud at this b.s. lol
-
Why is it so hard to understand that he has friends who are friends with the people involved. I mean the dude is friend with Mason. Does it hurt you that someone knows more than you or something?
-

Do you even read the threads on slap. They are on here first then magicaly show up on his channel later. Coincidence? I think not babysteezus. He also as some else pointed out references slap on more than one occasion. Does it hurt you that he’s just regurgitating whatever is popular on Slap?
-
I am hurt, but only because you mutilated my name and associated me with he who shall not be named. He doesn’t hide the fact that he reads slap and, yes, even regurgitates it. His last fucking video he just scrolled through an entire thread. What the fuck is the problem with that? I personally can’t be bothered to sift through this shit, so I watch his vids. That way, I get to escape geriatric, jaded fucks like yourself.

What silly reason bouncing around in Dill’s scrambled egg brain would there be to not want Mason Silva on the team when he was between board sponsors?
Anyway, I just remembered that event FA put on last year with everyone doing tricks off a kicker over a car. The obvious MVPs were Jake Anderson and Curren Caples, along with Louie. No one on FA did shit other than maybe Berle. Probably when the seeds were planted.

Dude. I didn't think I could roll my eyes any farther back into my skull.
GH was complaining about Deedz's butterfly shirt because he's previously mentioned that he thinks using butterflies as a graphic design motif is extremely played out. In other words, he thinks it's uninspired in regards to skate fashion and aesthetics. It's just his silly opinion. No big deal.
You're the one bringing this "toxic" opinion about butterflies into the thread. Talk about "forcing gender normative behavior." So much for being an "ally." *shakes head dissapointedly*
Wait. Does this mean Monarch Project is secretly another queer-positive brand a la There, Glue, etc.? Butterflies are officially gay.

I apologize I am not a GH historian like yourself to know all the nuances of his opinions from his previous videos. But saying “pause” a more sophisticated way of saying “no homo” and leading it up with trashing someone for what they wear in the comments when people are asking for further elaboration and GH giving no further context than a butterfly being on his shirts, I believe it’s simple to connect. Also having that symbol largely associated with femininity, I.E. you’re example of “monarch project” a company founded or at least represented by two top women pros.
Roll them eyes further so you can possibly dust some calcification off of your pineal gland.
Shalom-

Louie on Skate Mental makes way more sense than Curren and Jake on FA.
FA is officially on life support

Yeah idk - probably j had some skate mental boards lying around at currens n chose to ride one for whatever reason. Wish this was true though. A new skate mental resurgence would be way more interesting to me then an FA one.

It's all a big joke. Only Louie showing his deck, when there's rumors about the other 2 guys. Wake up. They've been playing us all this time. Sheep mental

I love the logic of people cheering for one washed up, bloated ex drug addict who exploits children and minorities who owns a board company to fail in favor of another washed up bloated ex-drug addict who exploits children that owns a board company. Both companies and their owners suck. They should just dissolve all of these brands anyway. Everyone should all just go to DLX or Baker if they want bbs; Quasi if they want ps stix and be done with it.

Anyone have a screenshot or full context of what the post was, just Louie showing or skating a SM bloard? Seems to be nuked either way and Louie has FA in his bio and Curren has SM.

It was a photo of Curren, Louie and Jake. They were posing for a full body portrait and Louie had a Skatemental deck. They weren’t skating.

Ah. First I'm hearing about Little North Pole; I wasn't aware of that.
Yeah. It's hard to tell and a Starbucks doesn't help. I think that's a jewelry store though, which most likely places it between 5th and 8th on Hill or Broadway. The Jewelry District has never struck me as "clean and calm" though.

he 100 percent bought that deck, but wouldn’t be a bad addition. Would have to add Cotie to FA too since they travel in packs.
-
Yeah John is definitely getting hooked up by Noah judging by their Instagram. Would prefer to see him on Hockey over FA but realistically can’t see him getting hooked up by either company. Also did Shane Farber ever get bumped up from Hockey flow? He and Louie are good homies so it’d be cool to see them on FA/Hockey trips.

I want one. Hard seltzer company sponsoring these three dudes is one of the smartest crossover deals in skate marketing history. Is Louie actually on or does it overlap with his Yeti contract

-
Stupid question- did Benny do all FA footage too or just Hockey?
Honestly FA adding any of these names and having talented, productive, dudes skating and starting a 2.0 version of itself is a good thing for skateboarding. It's not my favorite brand and they're on the downward part of the hype cycle but their implosion wouldn't be a positive thing for those of us that like some of their riders and want to see them supported/putting out footage. I'm all for trimming the fat and freshening things up even if I still wouldn't buy their boards.

To be honest he could be buying, but since darkroom fell he only rides FA, seems like another Bubba Jackson case

They're probably riding FA boards because they all rode the same square BBS shapes. A local shop owner worked with Darkroom and told me all the team riders rode an 8.25 with a massive shovel nose that was literally the FA/Hockey shape. I don't know if Darkroom sold that shape or not, but given the Don connection to Dill/AVE/AWS it's not weird to think Don helped get them some flow.

I think you meant one trick (and one second Napalm Death song) in Hockey X. Kevin Rodrigues had an entire part in Dancing on Thin Ice and a guest trick in Aiden Mackey's "Randy Farkus" video. Other than that though, yeah, he's too busy smoking cigarettes in Paris.
On the Angel & Z podcast, Andrew Allen said they were both teams were all saving footage for a full-length. A full length in this day and age is pretty redundant ngl. They should approach it the Baker way and release footage of like a couple riders every month or so
I think if they do go the full length route I would be hyped. Yeah it might be less "efficient" than multiple shorter videos but I think they're still special.

ok since jake and karen are now confirmed....wtf is upp with Sage and Sean?

Austysm and Caleb both spend to much time in front of the mirror and it doesent pay off
I just wanna say that Austyn is kinda good looking.
He has that Buffalo '66 ish thing going on. But mixed with the exact right amount of Mr Rogers.
He's like a turn down Jim a little.
Slightly slippery looking but also part floof so your mom might wanna stroke his hairs.
Jim's the real frickin deal tho. Ma definitely knows better

Can some one explain to me why having a graphic of a year book picture of a little kid that’s now old is cool? I really don’t get it. Like is there actually grownups skating this shit? I guess it’s better then the creeps hanging them on their walls but still. What the actual fuck?
I don't really care about these decks one way or the other, but this reaction definitely say more about you than about the imagery.

Your knee-jerk response to seeing a deck with a class photo on it was to accuse a collector of being a "creep", which implies heavily that you think this sexualizes children. Please tell me if I am wrong.

In my opinion, the yearbook graphics serve as a celebration of personal growth and progress. These class photos evoke nostalgia, foster a sense of community, and remind us of our own development. Appreciating these graphics is a matter of personal preference and should be clearly distinguished say from the likes of Strobeck's IG post..
When I reflect on my school photos and the progress I've made, it's both fascinating and serves as a powerful reminder of my journey. It's cool (maybe) to think about how the younger version of ourselves would perceive us now and how much we've grown since then.

Why the fuck would anyone that dosnt actually know any of these people in real life want to see their stupid ass year book photos from 10 years ago? How is that cool? Let me know big breh.
Then where is your shock and awe coming from bud?
I'm not buying the boards but goddamn, settle the fuck down. Lots of shit isn't cool or appealing but I don't go around demanding someone explain it to me, I just move on.

Maybe I need some slap glasses to see it better but the shit looks stupid. Why anybody buy a board with that shit on it is a Dillard. And by that I mean Dill plus person is a Dillard . So person x 2 or three or your mom.
Thanks for clearing that up. I think they look pretty dumb too. I had that Tyshawn one a while back and couldn't wait to slide his face off. It's kinda FA's thing though now. When you see that photo you know its "Fucking Wack". :D

Trendy yeah but so was Flip when Curren and Louie got on and did the whole kid part. FA is pretty whack and dill was also whack (even in that 2002-2006 magazine shine era) but I could see this move getting them into a legitimate, respectable legacy position with Louie calling the shots and dude like nak, swan, sage, ladle taking a back seat.

When FA first started and did the boards with Dill and AVE's school pictures it was a unique thing and now it's similar to when Chocolate does an Evan Hecox portrait graphic for every new rider. Did AWS 1.0 always do abduction boards for when someone switched over to the Sovereign Sect?

It was confirmed pages ago when they both got flown to South Korea for the new store/bar opening & team photos. Those boards are just further proof in the pudding.
That trio of best friends is the perfect answer to FA’s recent stagnation, that trio is HEAVY weight. Can’t wait to see the parts, hear the music, hear & see the laughs.
EDIT: Also they were both riding FA boards at The Bunt Jam.

I have a theory that element drop him after he beat Nigel in the south África contest
-
i guess he was too real.
i dont give a shit about marketability (he does great at contests) i like his skating and the fits and could see him on.
not a suburbian american posterboy but a muslim european immigrant and everything that comes along with it.
in my opinon fa is playing it safe with curren and jake and i would love to see them expanding in this way.
giving people chances that deserve to be paid.

he quit element along with tyson, evan, mason because he thought he had a spot on FA waiting for him
-
i still wish that they put nassim guammaz on a some point. idk if he was buying their product but he was wearing/skating FA gear for a minute now
I bet they don't even know who he is...
I think he's sick, but i'm not sure he's on their radar

Everyone but him seemed to land on their feet post Element.
I think he’d fit well on a DLX board brand.

Pretty safe to say at this point that the rumor of Curren Caples and Jake Anderson riding for Fucking Awesome is in fact true. If not, someone explain these boards to me.
source?
you think someone would do that? just get on slap and lie?
I’d be more concerned that to perpetuate the lie they tracked down photos of these two as little boys to mock up the decks

It was confirmed pages ago when they both got flown to South Korea for the new store/bar opening & team photos. Those boards are just further proof in the pudding.
That trio of best friends is the perfect answer to FA’s recent stagnation, that trio is HEAVY weight. Can’t wait to see the parts, hear the music, hear & see the laughs.
Yeah but we can't be 100% sure till their second FA video parts drop and Dill and Ave post their contracts online
-
Compared to Tyshawn and Nakel, Curren and Jake feel mid at best. Every one of them is a great skater tho and in their prime. Not to take anything away from anyone but fa is going mallcore.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I heard he was hard to work with and was asking for too much money when his contract was up so Element just didn't resign him. Nassim is sick, hope he lands somewhere else.

Also dropped by vans a while back and had kinda psychotic vibes on IG for a while. Pretty sure the Industry consider him a possible Darrell Stanton and washed their hands. Insane skills tho. Would love it if FA took the chance. He deserves primetime. Cant be worse than kb.

Upriver means you’re mainstream and downriver means you’re more low key (just learned that a few days ago). From my perspective it looks like FA is heading upriver.

I don't think Dill has ever gone for productivity, but those riders all rode for FA and Supreme since they were kids. It wasn't always about them bringing home the biggest hammers it was Dill trying to promote a focus on people going out and skating in a hectic urban environment in a way that was counter to the post Fully Flared era where there was a lot of footage coming out that lacked such a stylistic focus. Not just on the way tricks were done, but where, how the spots looked on film, the clothes, the boards, etc.
It always felt a bit contrived and exploitative in a way, but it was at least coherent and cohesive. Now FA feels like there isn't really cohesiveness and its becoming a modern World camp in a way. The edginess has become a bit stale and corny, the young ones have grown up and moved on, and its time to shift focus and take the brand to its 2.0, which has started with Louie and now these 2 for a kinda boring LA/So Cal focus on slightly different hammers.

I think this is more about keeping Louie after losing Tyshawn and Nak. Wasn’t Nakel in charge of who was getting on? They really only ever had Tyshawn as an nyc dude anyway the rest of the team was all SoCal based from day one they’ve been a SoCal focused skate brand pretending to be a nyc brand is more accurate.

You gotta point there. Interestingly when they first came they did do a bit more with textures like the “embossed” all over FA print boards or the lenticular picture boards .I guess you could say the photo boards are their signature.
FA or hockey doing logo boards at this point would probably be a huge red flag for the state of the company though.

True and I said that. I was going off more what op was talking about with girl or real or baker just a pure logo board. Which hockey and FA don’t have in their lines. And even the stuff like embossed boards and hockey mask graphic aren’t every season. Honestly I’ve always thought that was FAs problem unless you skating a photo board it’s hard to tell it’s even an FA board with most their graphics .

Neither chocolate or girl do stand alone logo boards with out a riders name on it , do they? Krooked, frog, polar, passport, don't have stand alone logo boards on the regular either if at all

I would actually have been hyped if they were on Hockey instead, because Hockey makes good videos

I think Jake and Curren are a good fit.
FA is much better with out Nakel and Tyshawn.
A team that more about skateboarding. Hope Curren or Jake wont start to rap.

Could have sworn I saw AA riding a 'baker' style board from Hockey a while back, which sent me on a google image witch hunt and reminded me that damn, Hockey graphics are great. Who needs logo boards when you have creativity. Didn't know how to feel about the brand when it first dropped but it just grows and grows on me.
Yeah. Benny Maglinao > Dill with design, aesthetics, etc.

Hope Curren or Jake won’t start to rap playing music, modeling, hanging out with Harmony Korine in Miami, getting lost at gas stations and only Instagram posting park clips, getting into furniture making, riding for Supreme or their own clothing brand, dressing like Dylan Rieder, etc.

i dunno man obviously losing TJ is a big loss but both curren and jakes most recent parts are way better than anything nak has ever put out imo
and if curren and jake can be a little bit more productive footage wise than tj and nak then it's gonna be an improvement overall
I don't think Dill has ever gone for productivity, but those riders all rode for FA and Supreme since they were kids. It wasn't always about them bringing home the biggest hammers it was Dill trying to promote a focus on people going out and skating in a hectic urban environment in a way that was counter to the post Fully Flared era where there was a lot of footage coming out that lacked such a stylistic focus. Not just on the way tricks were done, but where, how the spots looked on film, the clothes, the boards, etc.
It always felt a bit contrived and exploitative in a way, but it was at least coherent and cohesive. Now FA feels like there isn't really cohesiveness and its becoming a modern World camp in a way. The edginess has become a bit stale and corny, the young ones have grown up and moved on, and its time to shift focus and take the brand to its 2.0, which has started with Louie and now these 2 for a kinda boring LA/So Cal focus on slightly different hammers.
I feel like they need a video to prove this comment wrong. Sucks that Swan has been injured, and it seems like Sage is focused on his music these days. KB?

In whaaaat world is Jake Anderson's skating not interesting to watch? Dude is one of the few that makes barely hanging on to tricks into an art form.
I like Curren's skating but I could see why it's not everyone's cup of tea... but finding janderson boring is a crazy perspective to me

Basically its just Flip Skateboards 2.0, they started all sick and edgy, then shortly became every tween's go-to choice as they become more mainstream and watered down.

agreed. Skate Mental in the absolute gutter. not that it was cool anytime, but at least they had a legit squad. now it's just corny graphics without the top-tier team.

Footy from Jake & Curren as well as the rest of the team

that was pretty sick
if being on the same team as louie who is a footage machine results in more clips of curren and jake then that can only be a good thing
-
damn curren and jake actually look good in fa footy

*disclaimer before people click looking for Ave, Dill, Gino, or she who shall not be named's footage.
Funny how people get called out for hating her but no one criticizes the actual company that invests no effort in including her when putting together a video of all the current active team members. The girl is gaslit into thinking you can only film on trips (the bunt episode).

The reason they're all not skating is because they don't want to. Only difference is that Gino, AVE, and Dill are in their mid-forties with already cemented legend statuses.

If you hate on this - I can’t help you.
It was just a welcome to the team with handful of tricks
from Jake and Curren + some single tricks from the team mates.
It was good.
Put Jake, Curren, Louie and AVE on a three month trip through Europe - and gave us a little edit any month
And everyone will love them.

I'm talking about people that say her haters are just toxic and have no criticism about FA's handling of her pro career.

Guys
all of her footage is reserved for the Vans video
its gonna be the best and they can't afford to burn any clips
-
KB with one clip. Phew, he's fine guys.

hell yeah I’d hate to see her 3 tricks go to waste in this video. Definitely would be criminal to see them again as if the last video she was in a year or so ago wasn’t a teaser of what she has in store
-
God damn I needed that... That Sage line was really, really fucked up. Wasn't sure how it was all going to look with Jake and Curren in an FA edit but suprise suprise it looks amazing
-
Jake's clips are pretty sick indeed

is curren getting a 9.0 board as a pro model?

It’s funny , I was just watching a Austyn Gillette’s termite (pest control) part lol and i thought of something that seemed crazy to me now and completely obvious but remember how Austyn wasn’t brand name enough for either of dill and aves companies ? Dill even a considered a whole different company completely for him, a third board brand to put him on rather than spoil the perfect vision of hockey and FA. But now that he’s taken a hit he’s had to bend and has jake and curren on his team (:

Yeah I think Dill just didn't want to work with Austyn, who has a reputation for being annoying and difficult to deal with.

Dill knew he was too busy milking the last years of his career on globe and habitat so he settled for jake and curren
-
Dill is so smart, he wanted the bests for his brand. But Austin dissed KB and Elijah. The team could be cracked.

Or Austyn and anyone. Dude isn’t marketable, and it’s understandable why brands that are primarily core sale dependent (excluding Habitat) aren’t down. No slight to the bed he made for himself, just an observation.

Geez this conversation reads like someone’s inner monologue.
Did any of you go out and skate today?

Dont forget that Ryan Decenzo and David Gonzalez got the boot for Austin get on.
I doubt if it was his requirement.

didnt kaleb barnett call him out on the bunt too

He said he doesn’t like Austyn because he said to Caleb after the premiere of Blessed “that’s all you had?” and it pissed him off. Which is ironic because Austyn has like 30 minutes of footage and multiple parts while Caleb has like 8.
