Spanky is one of the most interesting skaters to me out there at the moment. I don't know, if he's doing the same things over again, I don't think about that. He evokes emotions in me when I watch him skating. That's enough..

Wouldn't the correct word be "stagnant"? If there's one thing I can respect about Spanky's skating its that he's expanding his horizons a little bit and that there were very few repeated tricks in his Made Chapter 2 part, plus his tic-tacs were pretty much non-existent. If you want to talk about milking it, that's more like older dudes past their prime that don't bring anything else new or stronger to their parts.
-
spankys burnt out confirmed
-
Ok I fucked up. Ignore my spanky comment I’m drinking and I actually don’t think that now that I think about it.
-
Kind of strange that the first person you thought of was Sparky, since he got kicked of Baker at one point and pretty much had to prove to Reynolds that he’s still worth being on the team.
If you wanna talk about milking it, Borra’s run on DC had to be the most ridiculous fucking thing to ever happen in the history of skateboarding.
-
As I said I fucked up. Was talking nonsense but yeah borra is a weird choice. When is the last clip he put out?
-
"Milking it" is all the dudes who put out zero content.
Seriously, now that non-banger skating is the hot stuff there really isn't any reason for your favorite pro to not put out a part every 4 months.
-
C Rob but he will be the 1st one to tell you.
-
Jake Johnson is occupying the same space he always has. Not that he's stagnant, but he seems like he never slowed up and it's kinda hard to go any further up the charts.
In terms of stagnation, I'd say Sean Powers.
-
I feel like for some of those guys that's actually rad. Like, if there were ever a Kalis part where I didn't get a 360 flip, or a Reynolds part without a frontside flip I'd feel ripped off.
-
TK.

TK.
He's put out a bunch of instagram clips at the same park with the same lines, but they're very basic. Flip trick before rail or ledge, not much else to it.

I'm Milking that Kick flip and you bet it feels good ;D ;) its really messing up the toe of my shoe :-\ :-X

I'd rather watch Spanky do some low impact wallride bullshit then go on pretending the Mark Appleyard is still a real productive professional skateboarder.

Gino made an entire career of milking it.
Post 2003, yes, but even then, he still brings value to brands being a legend and highly popular among older skaters. It is similar to guys like Tom Penny or Arto with Flip or Max Schaaf and Huf are still on Real.
The ones who make no sense are guys who haven't put out a part in years, aren't a big name and still hanging on somehow. For example, Chris Roberts and Eldridge haven't put out a full solo part (unless you count Eldridge edit of his Pretty Sweet stuff) in almost a decade or Billy Marks who hasn't had a full part since Brainwash.

When talking about, "Milking it," a lot of these guys are doing other stuff and aren't really relying on their board sponsor's check.
Huf obviously runs a super successful brand, Max has his motorcycle thing, Chris has a pretty successful podcast/web show, Arto has the photography thing, I think Billy works at Vans. I have no idea what Penny or Eldy are up to. I rember when Eldridge came out I thought he was the next Koston. Injuries suck.
When I think of, "Milking it" I think of the alcoholic/addict guys who just disappear for years. It is kind of cool skating is so loyal and forgiving. If I decided to go smoke crack/shoot H for a few years my company would not keep issuing me checks and welcome me back when it was over.

There are too many pros in the industry now and it’s not like other athletic careers when athletes just retire comfortably at a certain age. Most of these pros don’t make as much money as you think so they try to hang on to that check as long as they can. Some of them got lucky and found jobs behind the scenes in the industry or started their own companies or took over companies that they rode for years. But others don’t have that opportunity, nor have a college degree or any other type of marketable skill that will help them in the ‘real world’ post skate career. I bet a lot of them didn’t even think about that when they were young and starting. People like Jeff Lenoce and Heath did it right. Unless if you’re Nyjah, Sheckler, Tony Hawk, or Koston, you should either take some college courses on the side, go to trade school, and/or invest your money in an IRA or something.
-

Haha I don't know about entire career, but yeah that dude is the biggest milker in the game. But, if people wanted to pay me to do shitty easy tricks and push I would happily accept.

The pensions people get in other "sports" are ridiculous. Plus the guaranteed money. In skating if you blow your knee our, you're done, unless people like you enough to keep you around and let you pack boxes or something.
Plus young skaters on the come up are encouraged to do some of the most dangerous stuff possible to, "Make a name for themselves" with little to no heath insurance.

Yeah the health insurance is a whole nother issue. It must feel like complete shit when you worked so hard at fulfilling your dream at becoming pro and then blowing your ACL or something crazy like that. I completely back companies like Girl that hang on to their riders when something like that happens.

My friend's brother in law was in the NFL for 6 seasons and probably made somewhere around $800,000 a year. Now at 32 he's got a pension (that I could probably live on) and health care in perpetuity. It's no comparison.

Dude got sponsored for skating quarter pipes.. hilarious. I remember him saying in a interview he didn't really care for being a sponsored skater though, and would rather model because there's more money.
That being said, he would be a serious contender for Woodward's Mano A Mano

I saw Mike V skate a demo with Ed during the TV days and he killed it. Just huge grabs every time over the pyramid going super fast. Ed had the tech going on. Pretty weird but cool combo.

People think skaters on Nike or Adidas make crazy money, but the most random NBA/NFL/Soccer players no one has ever heard of who are endorsed by Nike/Adidas/Under Armour, etc. make way more off them than your favorite skater unless their Nyjah or Janoski.

Fallen part was 2008, deathwish was 2013. He's 31 now so he wasted 26-31 in my opinion, those are prime years. Way too long to not have a full part

Last thing I remember seein of Dah-veed was a huge kickflip gap into the Santa Ana river, the one Chalmers ollied some years ago... One time riding a bike through there on the way to the train station I witnessed a BMXer clear the gap in front of me, rode a bit more got off his bike, then proceeded to tag up the wall in a line. I l chuckled... It's massive and flippin your board into that is nuts but that was some years ago at least.

Could you give a little more detail? What qualifies as having skated today? A quick trip to the liquor store before noon? Pushing from the car to that one spot in the ditch, getting really high, and waiting for your chance to be the future champ of BGPs? Setting your garbage can on your board and pushing it to the curb/dumpster, then riding it back?
Or, simply let me know what everyday means, 3/7? Or what over half means to you, 28%?
Thanks, I'm thirsty for knowledge.

There's more than one way to milk the skateboard industry and starting company after company, only to focus them and dip within six months, is one of 'em.
I'll change my year zero for him milking his career to whenever it was he left Element.
Yeah, 2010 when ESPN interviewed him:
ESPN.com: Tell me about Element and why you left.
Mike Vallely: Well, the reason I left Element is because I am starting my own skateboard company. I have taken a stab at it a couple of times...
No! Really?!
I do like me some Mike V, but just in small doses.

Borra forever..The last year of Sza on Baker.
Mike V on every company he rode for that he didn't own post 1993.
I disagree.. he was killing it on all those Tony Hawk tours, you'd be crazy to say he was milking it.
I'd say he fell off around 2012
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwWDmpP3xRw
that was 2012 so you're probs right Bobby. I still love me some Mike V though but yeah, a weird choice for the milking dept. dude always has/ always will do his own thing. Mike V in 2018 is my fav Mike V
There's more than one way to milk the skateboard industry and starting company after company, only to focus them and dip within six months, is one of 'em.
I'll change my year zero for him milking his career to whenever it was he left Element.
Yeah, 2010 when ESPN interviewed him:
ESPN.com: Tell me about Element and why you left.
Mike Vallely: Well, the reason I left Element is because I am starting my own skateboard company. I have taken a stab at it a couple of times...
No! Really?!
I do like me some Mike V, but just in small doses.
BUT street plant has been going for a while now, has a cool image, nice boards and it finally feels like he has found his place. Yes, he went through some wack arse phases but I think 2018 Mike V is truly at peace with himself and I can’t hate on that.

Manny Santiago - every video part he has ever done has the same few tricks. Test it yourself. Watch his recent one and watch one from 6 years ago. Same with his contest tricks. All the same.

Does someone fall under the definition of milking it, if there is demand for their board and it's selling well?
Are people worthy of having a pro models for what they have done, achieved and given, and what they represent, instead of pumping out lots of content?

Pretty sure him getting blasted with a shotgun got him on chocolate for life. I don't know if he has a salary or just gets board royalties (or is part owner at this point?) But there's no way he can be making more than like 500$ a month from chocolate

According to social media posts looks like he's already on his way to another part later this year as well. Plus in his prime he was putting out more parts in a year than some people have in their entire careers, so I think he deserves a little slack.

out of the younger guys, curren caples comes to my mind? die he has a part lately? i thinks he kinda milking it if your compare him to louie for example.
sean pablo seems to do the same tricks over and over again (not in the good way), so in this way he's milking it. i found it hilarious when bobby did an impossible over that flatgap in 'purple' and sean pablo was filmed afterwards and i couldt help but think he's looking a little envious at bobby for doing one of his signature tricks on a decent gap.
i wouldnt say dollin is milking it, because he's on tours and trying to get tricks eating shit like a maniac. sammy baca had a few decent tricks in the cons video that i liked.

Also noticed this. His tricks are done well but predictable.
Sidenote when seeing the thread title I expected to see more on dudes who milked their contracts like a lot of early nike riders. Or dudes with fake over-stee on basic tricks.

Jason Jessee had a thirtysomething year career and he's maybe 5'4". Not sure if Little Daniel is shorter, but Jessee might be the benchmark.

I was hyped Devine Calloway was skating again, was a fan in the early 00s but haven't seen anything worth a damn the whole time he's been on primitive.

Louie Bartletta. Tilt Mode Man Down is one of my favorite videos and he seems like a nice guy, but I think I’d be fine if he never released any more footage.
At the time I thought his skating was really refreshing and creative, but now it just seems gimmicky. I sadly feel the same way about enjoi. For the past 10+ years it just keeps getting more and more of a hollowed-out husk of it’s former self.
Along those same lines, not sure if he still skates, but I get physically sick to my stomach whenever I see Ritchie Jackson.

He runs Enjoi. So that means he has a job and skates. Not sure if that qualifies as milking it.

You’re tripping. Louie’s put out lots of timeless parts and seems like an all around good dude. He does a lot of novelty tricks, but he also does a lot of really hard tricks. I don’t see Richie Jackson switch back smithing handrails. Louis balanced his quirkiness with undeniably solid skating and doesn’t get nearly enough credit for it.
Also, he runs enjoi now and has even said that he’s stepping down to give the younger guys some shine, which is a real classy move in an industry fueled by narcissism.

I think this perceived notion that a skateboarder is milking it because we don't see 'video parts' from them is severely out dated. Commitments to sponsors these days is not what it was 10 years ago.

Donnie, you're out of your element!! Penny and Cardiel are gifts to skateboarding and should be respek'd as such. There's a reason they're still relevant 25 years later and I doubt whomever you want to take the spot on team will be talked about in 25. They also move a lot of product. Calmer than you are.

These days it's very hard to really tell who's milking it and who's not. For one, I don't think "having a decent part in forever" counts as it did a few years back. I hear Penny is really nice when you meet him in person and still skates a ton, so in his surroundings, he is still very influential even if it's not on a publicly media-endorsed scales.
As for SneakySecrets who brought up Louie Barletta: Louie rips just as hard as ever and still puts out a ton of footage, albeit in the classical way via video parts. I don't rewatch a lot of newer videos and specific parts, because they're not memorable, but his Enjoi Oververt part which is quite recent (2016) is one that I frequently look up to get me hyped.

So true. His ssfsf down Carlsbad, he had already done that sans camera and only did it again because he wanted to not to get it on film. All the stuff over the chain in Hi5 was only videoed because the photographer there that day realised it was historic and put the photo camera down to capture it. There's a lot of stories about him doing insane shit with no cameras present.

He did stuff for eS that was all great. His especial part especially. He had magazine coverage and everything too, he was just misused at crailtap. They pushed him out as the hot new thing for like a year then zzz. And he was put on Chocolate at a time he was pretty much the only guy on the team doing anything on handrails. He probably should've been on Girl instead.
I've always been a big fan of his skating and met him a few times and he was a real sweet heart so maybe I'm biased. He might not have been a Jamie Foy footage machine but he put out more than a lot of their riders that have higher profiles.

But solely based on the amount of footage he has put out over the years and the way he talks I get the feeling Justin Eldridge is one of the laziest dudes in skateboarding.
Ty Evans and everyone at crailtap wasted Justin Eldridge's talent way before his back injury kept him off the board. The reason he isn't bigger now is because crailtap took 50 years between Yeah Right and Pretty Sweet.
I agree that Crailtap slept on him but if he was sitting on piles of footage (which I highly doubt) he would have had plenty of other options to release it.

Thanks for that. It’s amazing they cut so much of his footage . People say how are crailtap dudes getting paid still but I’ve realized it’s probably just guilt for squandering dudes careers in favor of larger than life projects like fully flared and pretty sweet. Eldridge and Devine got fucked by chocolate and then the economic downturn happening right at their peaks. I got a little more love for eldridge though cause he’s the hometown hero and taught my little grom self how to nollie. My buddy’s been dating his sister for years too, So I always got little clip of the days on social media when they’d all go skate.

Louie Bartletta. Tilt Mode Man Down is one of my favorite videos and he seems like a nice guy, but I think I’d be fine if he never released any more footage.
At the time I thought his skating was really refreshing and creative, but now it just seems gimmicky. I sadly feel the same way about enjoi. For the past 10+ years it just keeps getting more and more of a hollowed-out husk of it’s former self.
Along those same lines, not sure if he still skates, but I get physically sick to my stomach whenever I see Ritchie Jackson.
You’re tripping. Louie’s put out lots of timeless parts and seems like an all around good dude. He does a lot of novelty tricks, but he also does a lot of really hard tricks. I don’t see Richie Jackson switch back smithing handrails. Louis balanced his quirkiness with undeniably solid skating and doesn’t get nearly enough credit for it.
Also, he runs enjoi now and has even said that he’s stepping down to give the younger guys some shine, which is a real classy move in an industry fueled by narcissism.

Dude you’re blowing it hard putting old video clips up. I love Louie Bartletta.
He put a pretty fun transition part out for the berrics which had some impressive tricks in it as well. It was only last year and it looks like he actually put effort into it. He said it's mostly likely his last part though. https://theberrics.com/video/post/embed/id/11043/

hmm, maybe im biased cause i like staba, but i think its funnier/milky-er that biebel has one trick in the girl doll video yet they gave him a "starring" credit.

i posted this in the other milk thread that is now about the question if male nipples can lactate or something.
i am very smart boy, so this is good text read a very long time. ahem... :
"milking it is just part of an economic system that forces people into lifelong labor for financial security. since everyone needs money but most people hate their jobs, old washed up pros included, nearly every person at some point in their life will milk their jobs, if possible. that means getting your work done with minimum effort, getting by through routine or just trying to fly under the radar for as long as possible. so it's not exclusive to pro skaters.
if you have a boss that is dumb, unqualified, and generally not present or productive at work, then you have a boss like most people and that dude is most likely just milking the fuck out of his position. if you have an easy office job that consists of mainly browsing slap to make the time pass, you're milking it, too. but it's nice for you, so why would you retire?
being a legacy pro is skateboardings version of an old folks home.
what i don't get at all is that in most ads feat. some old washed up ex-pro, they just stare super focused into the camera, standing all tall and tough like some mma fighter, looking like complete fucking miserable assholes. like a lame instagram post that is "look, i met this awesome legend!!!!11!" and then you see mike v or jason jessee posing off next to them like "damn right, son, i am a fucking legend." to be fair, those two are not the brightest light bulbs either and most of those guys did it before they went more or less inactive, too. like d way, another really bad example of a guy that can't pose for a picture without looking like the most entitled jock ever."
