Think hard, then find out if Lakai thinks so too and let us know.
-

Hmph....searched before posting but missed this. Repost is a repost.
-
i didn?t see that coming
-
i like lenoce. a lot more then espinoza especially.
-
i like this dudes skateboarding, but i honestly forgot he was even on lakai. when people start forgetting about you, it kinda makes sense
-
a few years ago he probably could have got another shoe sponsor, now he'll have to settle for pro flow somewhere
-
Emerica or Supra
-
if anyone fro lakai can see this STOP PUTTING THAT FLARE ON THE SIDE OF EVERY SHOE. it gets old and looks like shit...now get rid of riley hawk and daniel espinoza

Axion posted this on their page some time ago saying "NEW PRO COMING SOON!!!!!"

Good for Jeff! I'm glad Axion hooked him up, he fits well there.
Now we can move on to getting Maldonado a board sponsor.

you couldnt be more wrong loogi neckbody

kinda of a bummer, but it always seemed like he was the bastard child of lakai. i love when dudes are under the radar, yet their video parts never disappoint. one of the cleanest most consistent dudes in the game.

I hope you don't have any nikes cuz this is like asking nike to remove swoosh from all their shoes. It's nice to see the laikai flare more frequently among this overwhelm of three stripes and swooshes.
Also Riley Hawk stays, that kid is sick.
-
If Riley Hawk and Daniel Espinoza were off the team tomorrow, would you guys go out and buy a pair of Lakais? Since I'm sure the answer is no, why do you care?
-
Oh yeah, and it's a bummer that Lenoce is off. I always thought it was cool that they gave him some love.
-
speaking of axion, does anyone know where these can be found? Have they been released? Searches say anything from released fall 11 to spring 12, but I cannot find them anywhere.

Nah, the jeans aren't painted-on skinny, definitely Lenoce.

If Lenoce gets on Axion, he is one lucky dude. There are so many people that lost shoe sponsors and never bounced back.
And Axion has the oddest team ever assembled.
-
He had one of the best parts in the Shake Junt video, love this dude no matter what

Looks like they pretty much wiped out the entire original team except for Welsh.
-
By the way there was a picture of Justin Eldridge wearing Lakais.
If they kicked off Lenoce to get that guy...major fail.
-

Pretty sure Welsh isnt even really on the team anymore.

That includes Rick and Mike since they founded it.
And I'm pretty sure Biebel joined later according to that Final Flare doc.

weird if lenoce is off and welsh isnt. i love both of these guys, but lenoce has done way more for lakai/in general than welsh in recent years

That is the Kilo, they are still not out. First color was supposed to be next month I thought. Those colors are Fall.

i am the only person who used to pronouce axion AX-EE-ON? anyways good for jeff. hes dope.

Good for Jeff! I'm glad Axion hooked him up, he fits well there.
Now we can move on to getting Maldonado a board sponsor.
I have no way to back this up, but if he gets on selfish...

Why would you think that? What other words spelled with 'ion' sound like 'eeee-on'?
-

nope, every person i know pronounces it that way

One of the first skate companies to butcher spelling the english language correctly?

hey everybody it's doug heffernan!

Maybe they didn't drop him, maybe he's getting a better deal on Axion or somewhere else. A team with fewer than 20 riders.
-

Holy shit it's not pronounced that way! Damn it I hate it when I realize a companies name is pronounced differently than the way I've been saying it because it takes me a long time to adjust. I assumed the "T" in Altamont was silent for some reason when the company first started.

FULLY FLARED, FULLY GIRL (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS5KJeBKDHA#ws) old, but a really sad one.
i think they are blowing it by kicking Lenoce out.
Teams change, people become less motivated, move away and get new friends or skate less. Lakai NEEDS younger more motivated relevant ams/pros that are down to promote their product by being out there in the mix doing demos and contests and appealing to A younger demographic. I have no doubts there are no hard feelings and there is a bigger picture than staying true to an original team. Look at all the companies out there and pick out how many OG team members they have. I bet for most of them it's ZERO. In a market dominated by massive corporate shoe brands, small guys like Lakai,Dekline and sole tech can't afford to be too understanding. Few people seem to really care about what they support vs how much it cost them or brand affiliation when it comes to footwear. I'm not knocking Welsh or Lenoce, I've enjoyed all the footage they've put out but times have changed, and not in a way I like. But at least companies like Lakai/girl take riders and offer them jobs elsewhere within the ranks. Like sj,rudy and others. It's a bummer but business is business. They signed contracts and had obligations.

Well said.
-
This is good!! Im really looking forward to seeing those Axion shoes in real life, haven't seen any yet, but some of them look good! Stoked for Jeff!!
-
It really is pronounced "action"? 'Axion' was an existing word before the shoe company (it's a hypothetical particle, bros), and it is pronounced "acks-ee-on".
That being said Axion's current (and past) team is fucking awesome and I would buy a pair of the Heritage black/gum ones if I saw em at the shop.
What I yearn for each and every day is Savier to come back.

perfect

Those Axions he's wearing in that video look really good!

He always felt like the odd one out, I suppose Wu-Welsh is next if not already.

I'm looking forward to seeing a Lenoce pro model.....looks like he's wearing altamont gear in the photo too

Heritage, same shoe Creager was wearing at whatever contest he was in, Maloof?
-
Holy Shit! im so psyched. It's actually a really good fit for him. out with the old, in with the new! Hell yea Lenoce!!
-
I've tried them on just to try them on, super flexy thin cupsole, and comfortable. They feel good, certainly in the running for my next shoe.
Also know two guys who are on their 2nd and third pair in a row. So, they must be working for some people.
-
How are they in matters of durability?

time time for some acks-ee-on
