I'm gonna get kooked but has Chico done a new trick since forever? Don't get me wrong... He was one of my favs growing up but if I see another nollie heelflip I will.. I will...Do nothing about it.  Love you Chico.

Is anyone hyped for the LRG video??? Has anyone actually bought anything LRG?

I think the video could be very good.

So Chico is pro for chocolate, but owns another skateboard company? Odd.
Remember when Dyrdek couldn't own Habitat footwear because of his DC involvement.

Kareem rode for World and owned Menace.

Menace was under the World umbrella. IE, same company. DC and Habitat, 2 completely different companies.

I'm not arguing against your statement, but as I've learned over the years, distribution doesn't always mean ownership.

Chico off Chocolate (unless its retirement) would mean crailtap is dying or close to dead, the guy is often cited as the inspiration behind starting the brand and seems to have the most say outside of Rick and Mike on the brand. Might be wrong on this but I think it was Chico who chose some of the first am's such as Ben Sanchez and Mike York.

The story goes that back in '93, the skate van was full of people and they had to let Chico alone on the street, Mike felt so bad that he started chocolate to give him and the other guys a better opportunity than world/whoever else they we're riding for.

Everyone relax here.

Sounds more like he just got a guest model for a shop and isn't really pro then

how does one relate to the other? Chico is pro for Chocolate and appears to have possibly started another board brand.  If true, that IS weird.  

AO started a couple of boutique skate brands after quitting his board sponsor.  and plenty of people think his brands are weird, its mentioned by someone on here every time his name pops up.

sorry, i don't follow your comparison

menace and world were part of the same brand so its a totally different situation.  for example: jeremy klein reissuing his old boards while riding for birdhouse is kind of weird, while him doing hookups is not as it is part of birdhouse.  it's a conflict of interest while hookups is not as it is still part of birdhouse and just a diversification and not a competing brand.  Chico having another board company while riding for Chocolate would be a conflict of interest.  but its probably just a shop board, in which case none of this discussion matters.

Torey was on Matix when started Grizzly grips and clothing. It's just busines. Paulo Dias already has a promodel. Central is legit to me.

hookups and birdhouse split almost a decade ago and klein hasn't had a promodel or been on birdhouse since. All he does is art for the brand.  Theres no conflict of interest there.  If so then todd bratrud doing send help would be a conflict of interest to majority of the brands out seeing that he does art for em.

not gonna keep arguing with you man.  if you can't see why it might be "plausibly weird" that a guy that has been riding for Chocolate may or may not have started a completely unrelated brand while still riding for said company than I don't know what to tell you. 

This coupled with rumors of other longtime pros and management leaving crailtap, coupled with the company being bought by an investment firm, coupled with the fact that they 86'd their TF makes it a subject worthy of discussion on a skateboard messageboard where a thread about something a pro skater mentioned on his facebook makes it to 11 pages. 

Jeremy Klein screening boards and selling them out of his trunk while he owns hookups and may or may not be involved with birdhouse in some capacity certainly qualifies as a "little weird".  Jim Greco doing the same with Hammers while riding for and "owning" Deathwish certainly qualifies as a "little weird".  Todd Bratrud has been doing freelance graphics for multiple companies for almost 2 decades and decided to start a small brand in his free time.  It's not at all the same thing.

This may sound lame but in my heart Kelly is pro. That's all that matters to me, that some board has his name on it and that he is being recognized for his skill before he retires.

So is Kerry Getz starting Nocturnal while still riding for Habitat* the same as Chico starting Central? I don't think he's ever had his name on a Noc board so that might be the difference maker.

*Is he still on? Both these are currently on the Habitat site right now.

Getz, Gall and O'Connor are part of the "Originals" division. It's more of a legacy thing, not really part of the official pro team. Artwork will be one-offs, not part of a team series. Like how Black Label has the "Legends" division for Hensley, Speyer and Agah.
