When did Max Geronzi get picked up by Almost and what kind of dirt does Cooper Wilt have on Mullen?

Right?  How can they claim they don't have budget for Haslam but they do for Wilt?  I like Wilt but come on.

Why I still try to care about Enjoi, I have no idea. This was beyond terrible.   :-[

not that you'd be able to tell by flipping through this catalog, but i could've sworn dwindle just launched a transition/vert oriented brand. the name escapes me, however.

God that's awful, and it seemed that for some reasons Enjoy was the weaker brand of their camp this year.

Cannot really tell apart any graphics from Almost/Darkstar/Non Reissue Blind.


They are turning into Powell.

The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.

I like the plain reaper decks that were in the spring 19 catalog. I may get one.

They need a wheel brand. Imagine buying your sweet new madness complete with your all terrain tensors, andele swiss, and pink product grip tape then what are you suppose to do? Enjoi Panda wheels?

still wish more distros put out seasonal catalogs like this

I’m still just baffled that dwindle puts that much money into enjoi. Their complete skateboard catalog is huge

Well, it's the only company who has a skater's approach in the whole catalog.

My guess is that anything else apart from enjoi (madness not being in there) is just a mall/big shop brand so there's no point into R&D.

Enjoi on the other hand might be appealing only to a kiddo audience, outside of skateboarding of course, and hence the overflow of completes for the mall market.

As I said earlier it's not a bad sign, as most companies do completes and mini boards anyway, it seems like the only legit company left to Dwindle now that Daewon/Haslam left and Blind, well let's say it hasn't recovered yet.

Dwindle has like 4 different types of constructions, inlays, embossed, split veneers, foil wraps, fun shapes, full shapes, re-issue shapes, they have color change trucks, and just redesigned tensors to appeal to the growing skatepark and ATV kids. They have pretty much every gimmick and design as any other brand and some.

also, implying that there's no R&D to sell in the mall is just dumb. Large corporations spend more money determining what can reach the biggest audience rather than targeting a niche audience. More bang for your buck.

Wow, that sucked.

Pretty much sums it up.

How is Enjoi still a thing? The graphics....they're the krux of deck brands...

Blind trying to push the O.G. reaper as a flameboy? Really, pro models using different variants of it? They're not even trying.

The Blind Gonz decks are the only redeeming thing in the book.

It's no wonder Song left.

Dwindle is....dwindling...in the art department but not mall shops I'm guessing.

Did anyone expect to open up a Dwindle catalog in 2018 and expect it not to suck ass? They've been a Zumiez aesthetic company for about a decade now with no sign of turning back. Louie should take his whole crew to a different distro and start fresh but I honestly feel like a lot of the immaturity of the company's look is a part of his own peter pan syndrome.

That being said I'm surprised no one has pointed out how surprisingly not bad the Almost Still Life series is. Reminds me of the better of the early Enjoi graphics.
