Maybe it’s time we normalize pros retiring around 25 again.

How many people have turned pro before 25 in the last decade? It’s like significantly less than decades prior. Maybe 27 so they get like 2 years

Jacuzzi is already a brand of stuff. It’s like naming a skate company Jell-o or something.

they actually make some of the best boards despite what you may think of the marketing

[roba]

you can get those exact boards from a bunch of different brands

Not even trying to argue. Who else makes resin 7 decks? All I know are jacuzzi and opera.

nobody else is selling "resin 7" boards because it probably was a trademarked name that dwindle owned. you can look up the woodshop thread in shoes & gear, pretty much everything DSM is those "resin 7" boards, it just means 7 plies with epoxy resin glue, that's like the standard DSM made board, dwindle just made it sound tech. i skated resin 7 shop decks. if jacuzzi/opera have cool unique shapes then those might be exclusive to them, but i wouldn't know because i don't care about either brand really.

It seems there are some brands using the same wood than Jacuzzi.
“PALACE、EVISEN、TIGHTBOOTH、JACUZZI など高品質な有名ブランドと同じプレスです。” that means DSM high quality boards are pressed in the same factory like those brands.

If the Cooze had art direction that didn't look like it was run by a 14 year-old with a Canva pro subscription it'd be alright.
The intentionally low effort, stupid name will always bug me though.

Sorry if that was worded confusingly. In his OJ Wheels part, he skated to a song that Daniel Dent had used in an incredibly popular independent video called “with the apple” just three years prior. In that same part, he did a gap to manual that Nik Stain also already did, except he touched his front wheels. He even went back to re-film it for Instagram after being called out.

Edit: added thread link
Second edit: you are also the one who initially called it out!

Louie saw Ryan Lay and sci fi and said, I need a welcome guy named Ryan.

I feel like some of the better boards I’ve seen recently have been from jacuzzi like that dilo earthbound graphic, as a whole I don’t think the image is concise but there are gems there.
