Thiebaud is the man, plain and simple.

For the last 8 or 9 years I have exclusively ridden DLX boards and spitfire wheels and will continue to do so. I'm very cautious of who gets my money and how that money is being spent. When you see a someone like Jim its very easy to back and support him. When buying DLX its not just about building a company or cooperation its about building the skate community. Thank you Jim.

[chipped tail]

If Jim is Vice President of DLX who is President?

If Jim is Vice President of DLX who is President?

More than likely Faustos wife Gwen or his son Tony

[streetsoup]

Punk as fuck

[StabMasterArson]

Skateboarding is lucky to have Jim T.

[happenstance]

He's given me a ton of product for some volunteer work I've done over the years. DLX deserves your money.

Solo is doing a great job as of late huh?
Jim rules.
Although I didn't know if my board broke I could return it these days.  Many many years ago I retuned 2 very very new decks to Deluxe... they broke first day. That was dumb as shipping from Canada was the price of a new deck.
One was a drake jones and the other maybe a mike dahr.

Ahh, the dilemma - I have zero hesitation to back Jimmy T, but the rest of the DLX empire is so sus.

How so?

Unless the board has a warranty covering breakage, you are never in the right returning a broken board. Land your tricks properly .

Why does this read like it was poorly translated from another language?

[jakeumms]

I noticed that too. Was honestly not sure who was talking - Jim T or the interviewer - in more than a few spots.

[Just Giver]

Why does this read like it was poorly translated from another language?

It looks like there's a little switch to translate it into another language.  It say EN/DE, which is shorthand for Deutsch.

Thiebaud is a kook.  Worrying about the kkk?  How many people have been fucked up by the knockout game compared to the kkk recently?
