I completely agree with the Hamaguchi statement. Shit, they should put James Capps on while they are at it. Quit fucking around Smyth
how you know they putting him on? chocolate has flowed shit tons of people and promoted them to only not put them on. Theres a long list of this. I don't know why everyone has their panties in a bunch. if they are flowing hamaguchi yeah they need to really push him to get on.
Who are the last flow guys to get the bump? Cory and Vince right? Considering Raven and Elijah came from other teams and I'm pretty sure they poached Stevie from another companies flow through McCrank and gave him the bump to Am immediately. Crailtap has an insane standard considering some of the guys they have passed on who went pro elsewhere (Romar, Lem and not exactly sure what happened with Shane but I doubt they outright passed and just got him on skate mental because it was under crailtap at the time.) and the standard of guys they given the bump the last decade has been insane (Vince, Cory, Malto, Mike Mo and Olson)

I think this is why I didn't really dig this at all. all the names I associate with crailtap that have come up since I started skating were essentially the next big thing, have watched dudes like Devine, Eldridge, P.Rod, and the newer dudes like mike mo and Cory I always expect to be blown away by the flow dudes they promote. Still bummed Lem and more recently Aidan Campbell didn't get on.
kind of bummed they kept him clipping that trash can in the second line, dude didn't even fully go over it and still clipped the thing.
