I saw this coming a mile away. He has been hanging tough with a lot of Theories dudes. Pains me to see him go.
-
Isle or Magenta? Polar perhaps?
-
Habitat? On today's Bunt, Daryl Angel said they've got a new East Coast guy on the team.
-
Can't be Polar, they've already got their one allocated scraggly beard man on the team. My money's on Isle.
-
dude is from OH isn't he? to further the AW/Habitat connection... that'd be sick though as long as he doesn't get stuck as a flow guy.
-
When did Isle replace Krooked as the go-to "I could see ___ on" brand?
-
Polar, Quasi, Habitat, would all be rad and make sense
-
i'd like to see him on alien
-
I find myself rewatching his footage a lot. Hopefully there will be a welcome part with whatever he’s joining.
-

That would be career suicide, he is red hot on the underground circuit, he could demand some money and ride for any of the current big players.

If it was still the old Alien fine, but the new version? nah. They have some sick riders like Joey Guevara and Brandon Nguyen, but they lost what they had when they rebooted the entire team.

that Dom kid is off too, I just saw. tough week for Politic. love those South Central boards though
-
hopps
-
hopefully on to a better check and more footage released, he's in that small group of guys whos footy isn't tainted by the swoosh on his feet
-
I can definitely see him riding for Theories since he's usually hanging with them, sucks to see him leave Politic though.
-
Who is of who?
-
seeing a few people on this thread suggesting he might ride for theories: I know they do some branded stuff, but do they have an actual team these days? was not aware of this if they do.
-

connecting the dots huh
-
Who is of who?
Taylor Nawrocki of Politic
-
Hopefully wherever he goes he's treated with the respect he deserves and doesn't get tossed into some am shit or a flow program. If he goes to Habitat for example then he'd definitely be one of the strongest teams riders.
Also, to the people saying Theories, I know they've done a one-off board or two on TOA but isn't it just a clothing brand?

It was a weird situation. Didn't Alien officially cease opperations, than rebooted a couple months later. It was probably fueled by the riders not down with what was going on and how in the dark they were kept. But, when Alien ceased operations, they still had Gilbert, Bledsoe, Jake Johnson, Omar, Donovan Piscopo and John Fitzgerald on but in the recent months lost a bunch of riders (Dylan, Grant, and before that Ave, Dill, and Terp, plus Sage off flow). Habitat managed to keep their entire team together and moved to Tum Yeto, they were shortly followed by the re-launch of Alien with an all AM team.

Nawrocki has been killing it the past couple of years, he's a footage machine. Could see him comfortably on Polar, Habitat or Quasi.

The guys on the Alien team seemed to get bummed cuz there was no communication between the company and them, but sometimes its a little suspect when the TM takes half the guys and starts a new brand. Carter and Hill were probably just at a lost as to how the whole thing when down and were probably dealing with Dyrdek about how to not have their legacy sold to a sporting goods company in a fire sale. Unlike Habitat the Alien guys all seemed to feel betrayed by the owners, not sure why, but theres a Jake johnson interview where he says that he was possibly gonna go back but just had issues with everything. I'm sure money was also a factor and Hill probably made it clear that he couldn't promise any level of real money to the guys. Carter also had a minor heart attack in this timeframe and i'm guessing that may have been a factor in the communication issue.

Isn't Carter no longer involved? I think he has a 10% stake, but just deals with Reflex, while Mike Hill has full control (and 90% of Alien).
I think the story is that Castrucci was pretty straight up with his guys about what happened, whereas Alien was already pretty fractured with multiple people leaving.
Either way, I hope Nawrocki finds a good place like Habitat or Quasi. Just not feeling the new Alien even if they have sick riders. It gives me similar vibes as re-launched Stereo and Plan B, but even those brands still had legends involved from the original inception of the brand.
-
fuck. Big time bummer. Hope for the best for him. Wonder who he will go to next.
-
Polar, Quasi, Habitat, would all be rad and make sense
quasi would be so fucking sick
-
This guy (as good as he is) on Isle would be the first wrong move that company has made.
I also can't see it happening. So that's fine.
All I want this year is a new Isle vid. But I'll settle for a Mike Arnold pro part.
Also, that new Politic clip was actually sick.
-
+1 for Quasi, seems like he'd be a natural fit with Jake/Gilby/Al

I used to follow him on instagram, he came off as kind of an arrogant dick to me. Overly cocky maybe? Idk, I just was never feeling him.

Scrolling through his instagram, it's a little more believable that he'd go to Isle than I thought before. I forgot he was in the NY Atlantic Drift. He seems friendly with that crew. They have Jon Nyugen on the West coast but no one on the East.

I mean yeah damn near everyone was at some point, but I never saw it like that, probably because they were close friends? I just saw two dudes who dressed a bit nicer than what was (and is?) conventional for skateboarding.

Can we have some proof? But Yes, there is something wrong with that. I like Politic a lot, and whoever is running it, based on their graphics, I would think takes issue with using prison labor. Unless they're faking the funk.

Prison labor isn't designed to rehabilitate and does not rehabilitate. In fact, it is often assigned to prisoners in lieu of the only proven program that actually reduces recidivism, which is education. There is a 0% recidivism rate for prisoners who earn a masters degree in prison, but those assigned to these type of labor programs are often unable to participate in educational programs.
It is designed as a work around loophole to continue slave labor. The work tends to be repetitive and low skilled, giving the workers no marketable skills upon release. Its a way for both the prison and the company exploiting the labor to make more money at the expense of people forced to work for pennies an hour. The 14th amendment banned slave labor, except as a punishment for a crime- THAT is the reason it exists in prisons.
I want the products I buy to be made by a person fairly compensated and not forced into labor, because slavery is wrong, even as a punishment, as the state profiting off of punishment is inherently corrupt
Now its time for me to get on you and keep repeating the question until you answer it: Where THE FUCK did you get the idea that prison slave labor has anything to do with rehabilitation?

Yeah Reagan nailed it. You didn't ask why so I wasn't going to give it to you, since it seemed like you thought it was a good thing. Not trying to argue with anyone, since nobody has ever changed their mind on issues over the strength of an internet debate. Teletype threw me off too.

Now its time for me to get on you and keep repeating the question until you answer it: Where THE FUCK did you get the idea that prison slave labor has anything to do with rehabilitation?
im canadian, we have less people incarcerated and a more idealistic view towards rehabilitation. forgive my ignorance.
Ignorance can be forgiven but not being Canadian.

hes a bit of a bumbling idiot, trying very hard to live in the footsteps of his father. best thing ive seen recently was him being questioned if he was the love child of fidel castro.

well im not buying south central ever

I've been incarcerated before and i can tell you most people there are the scum of society (myself included of course) and should be put to work. It's punishment not a fuckin resort.

Maybe just a night in the tank from how he is speaking. I was given the choice to work for 22cents a day while in prison. Gip is right too. No education or programs if I worked. But given the choice to work and do three years, or go to school and do 6, I never hesitated.
That said, the prison system down where SC is located is an even bigger beast to get stuck in the belly of.

^^^^ every politic board that I've ever skated has been really sick. Last one was the "exhault the new god" deck. Maybe it was a Durante? Anyhow, whats this "prison labor" jibber?
Politic uses South Central wood and South Central uses prison labour for their board manufacturing.
ill rehash my post again.
"whats the problem with this, isnt prison supposed to help rehabilitate inmates? give them the skills to provide for them selves out of jail. ive never had any issue with south central decks."
It is designed as a work around loophole to continue slave labor. The work tends to be repetitive and low skilled, giving the workers no marketable skills upon release. Its a way for both the prison and the company exploiting the labor to make more money at the expense of people forced to work for pennies an hour.

I'm very curious to know what shoes you are wearing and what phone you are using.

Huge bummer when you realize none of the original team is still a part of the brand today.

on pillowcase skateboards confirmed

I guess that's it for me and South Central boards; we had a good run, but they were kinda heavy compared to the typical Bareback or PS Stix

My phone is a result of poorly compensated labor in China and child slave labor in The Democratic Republic of Congo.
My shoes are made by a poorly compensated person somewhere in southeast Asia.
What does that have to do with me explaining how prison slave labor works and why its problematic? Please explain why a person has to be perfect and has to completely in order to understand social issues.

I was thinking that he hadn't been to prison, but I wanted to give him the chance to answer himself first.

I'm with gip on this one. Of course no one's perfect, and when living under capitalism it's impossible to have a non-existent footprint in supporting problematic systems that exploit people and their labor. But it's best to be aware of these things and make better choices when you can. I usually skate generator wood but I'll definitely stay far away from south central if this is true. Still waiting for proof...
Oh, and for anyone looking to do more research, it's actually the thirteenth amendement, not the fourteenth.

Had to pick my moment.
Wouldn't be too far left field, he talked about his love for the Workshop on some podcast and a few of his Politic decks had some very Alien-esque graphics (although so do a lot of their other decks). Who knows.
-
I'd be into it anyway. New Workshop's team is great. Hopefully their graphics will catch up soon, they've really been anodyne with a lot of logo decks and team decks and even reissues, but at this stage it's bordering on offensively inoffensive á la Jart.
-
regarding the whole sc wood debacle:
south central is in elmore alabama
elmore alabama has three prisons a few miles from south central
i just shot sc an email so we will see how
much transperency they offer
or if they leave their woodshop shrouded in mystery and rumors
-
politic to new aws is a major L.
frankie spears and the asian dude are awful on the eyes.
-
Could be sick foreal. Dudes from Ohio and rips. Joey Guevara and Sammy Montano in California and Taylor and Yaje in New York is pretttttyyyyy good
-
It’s probably not in this dudes DNA to make a bad move.

With him and Yaje on, it's getting harder for me to dislike Alien 2.0

This thread made me learn about Taylor and after watching his parts he’s one of my favorites now. Anyone know if an announcement is coming soon? Alien?

seems like a pretty motivated dude, guessing part and announcement coming soon
really thought it be quasi though

You should do yourself a favor and watch his Spirit Quest part if you aren't well versed...
