I could see him on Diamond for some reason.
Total speculation but he must be really hard to work with if a two-time SOTY doesn’t immediately get picked up by Nike or Adidas or Vans or whoever the fuck has “fuck-you-money”.
It would be nice to see him on es. Tom Asta holds the weight of that entire brand on his shoulders. If Diego stayed I think we could potentially pickup momentum as a brand.
They really need to start poaching young ams AND find a way to keep them. Es is on its way to becoming the next Powel, I.E. where newcomers go to get a start before they make a big move.
I think whats lame is how they use so many people on their instagram to promote then brand but have only three official riders on the team. i dont know what happened with ryan lay, walker ryan and a few other people they've had on a team list or on their instagram only to never see them mentioned by es again
Don't know about Ryan Lay but Walker Ryan went to DVS for whatever fucking reason and I think DVS is either done or definitely on the edge of dying.
That's another fucking guy, Walker Ryan - Get him some Fuck You money, too.
"i rode for es for a little bit after [huf]. when they like revamped that whole thing, kelly hart like hit me up and i was doing that for a little bit. and then, that was cool. but then kelly like decided that he wanted to like make the brand more of like a sporty, he said like, quote sporty, and so, obviously i didn't fit. walker ryan was also on there. he didn't fit. so, um, we kinda just got like, not like forced out, but, you know. it happens. like i get it. and i don't think that it's a bad call on kelly's part because, it's like, he wanted the brand to have a certain aesthetic. and you kinda gotta trim all the outliers off. so, um, from there, oliver barton who was running etnies, and he was just like, and it's in sole tech, so they were just like, hey you can come ride for etnies. and i was like, alright, sick. so i ended up just doing that."
