Mark suciu show middle finger to palace

[GAY]

Is it pronounced pal-iss or pal-ah-che?

[A.J.K.]

Funny how much flack Palace is getting for stating what we all know is true. Yeah, AWS and Habitat have some decent guys on the team...but in terms of graphics, video output, a distinct vision for either brand...come on now. Same downward trajectory as Girl and Chocolate...though I'd place my money on Crail pulling through.

Also Slap routinely shits on people and brands for no good reason. Without merciless shit talking, Slap would be toast. Palace taking a light jab at two established brands that almost died, were bought by a snowboard co, almost died again, and are now in purgatory is not the end of the world.

Also gotta add to the whack Palace analysis: The company has been around for what, 10 years now? They've gone through various phases, all of which are subsequently ripped by tons of other brands. The guys behind the brand have some idea what they're doing, and will likely switch things up again before things get stale. Or keep selling t-shirts and paying their riders and employees. Assholes! Every company should be like Foundation--requesting life-threatening stunts for a few boards a month. Keep it core boys.

Palace started out cool but now they're faking that VHS funk while dropping Ralph Lauren skateboards and loafers while hating on OG skate brands.  They turned into some rapper celebrity tennis bullshit.  I don't even see a place to buy skate decks on their website.  Habitat all day over that mess

Ahaha, guys are hating but using fucking Chinese wood for their boards

I actually love everything Palace is doing but i wont skate a Palace board. As a "premium" brand its a shame they use DSM wood.
 Same reason i never supported Girl and Chocolate in the last decade. theres no excuse to using shitty wood, the quality of your products should come before everything else if youre a skateboard company.

slap: habitat and alien arent what they used to be and are on an obvious decline

palace: habitat and alien arent what they used to be

also slap:

habitat is a sick team these days... suciu,bobby,dela,silas,marius,flo..
new aws is sick too, I really like all of their guys.

>The Bunt/Weck/Other PALS/etc. talk shit and fire shots across the industry

>Palace fires shots across the industry
>"Wow, fuck these guys, that's tasteless"

Fuck off. Pick a hill, and die on it, sheesh.

[nopes]

is there a particular reason palace is taking a shot at habitat? seems lame to talk unprovoked shit if its just random.

[TwisT]

I don't get how doing a collab Polo is considered cool.

I like the "fire a shot then see the reaction to the fired shot". It could break your way or it could call out your goofy slippers.

After looking at the palace website and seeing polo boards and high end boutique shops I can definitely see why us older posters would side with habitat and AWS here.

[ChuckRamone]

the only remotely skate-related thing I remember about palace is prawn powers breaking a lobster tank and that’s not even a skate clip. this company is trendy, hypebeast cat shit for the IG workout freaks and normies.

^Have you considered paying attention to contemporary skateboarding? They released a great full-length last year (for free, mind you), they've pumped money into the Long Live Southbank campaign, they opened up an indoor skatepark to support the London scene over the past winter, they've milked their status in the fashion industry with great tongue-in-cheek ads, and they make sure rad skaters like Danny Brady, Jamal Smith, and Lucien Clarke (among others) get paid.

But no, how dare they say what everyone is thinking about Habitat.

Pronounced Pal-Ass. They hatin in plain sight.

i have a pretty good feeling palace will not be able to sustain their recent success.

Palace strikes me as inevitably going down the Zoo York route. Fashion over skating

That happened to Zoo York because they were sold to a larger corporation. Afaik Palace still exists on its own, and I'm not seeing Palace shirts in every JCP or Kohl's

[Beeda Weeda]

I just don't see what the point of a company firing shots at companies that are shells of their former self.
palace is one colab away from being an after thought.

Someone on the sidewalk forum posted up Palace's accounts for last year - they paid £4.2m in dividends. Lev is ballin'.

[shannamal]

the sentiment isn't super wrong, but what the hell is up with the weird fake haiku style of writing a caption? it's stupid

[HugeBodBoyle]

Ted's IG story pushing Palace purchases at Labor. Sounds like direct NYC beef with Suciu.

Obviously they are probably going to fight in the streets.

I need Ted to walk out in a top hat and call Mark a crusty bitch.

Perhaps eventually, but within the next two years is too soon. They're really not hurting at all.

[augustmoon]

pretty wack of Palace.  punching down and completely unnecessary.

What interest would a buyer have in a brand that's hurting?

[se7en3two]

crazy that everyones acting like current era habitat and alien are any good and arent just shells of their former selves

Agreed. When are teams ever better after a collapse...

Wishful thinking, but neither is or will be- what they once were.

Hey! How dare you come in here and make valid points


Big ups to Danny Brady

[doublesteveburger]

I’m with Suciu.

[Sold Out]

I like Palace and I'm a fan of companies talking shit, but it's hella ironic to say you'd rather ride a termite than habitat, when your brand comes out of the same factory in China as Blind & Darkstar... that's laughable.

Talk shit on their graphics, collabs, aws team, but when you're Dwindle made you lose the right to talk shit on other people's wood hahaha.
