I can’t believe he even has to reach out like this to get sponsors.  He’s down with Dill, put him on Hockey hahaha

I was going to say, just put the man on FA and give him some $$$.
He’s a certifiable legend, total work horse, and seems nice as hell.

He deserves it more than any other pro.

Noticed he wrote "No, thank you" on Thank you's thank you post.  Implying the man
has taste, manners and possible dignity still in tact.

I would tend to agree if it were literally any other professional skateboarder besides Jermy Wray.
Dude was simply shafted left and right while some of the most unproductive piles copped checks for decades...

For real.  Unfortunate how he’s been treated within the industry.  Definitely a goddamn legend.

Can’t say for anyone else but I agree he deserves it. It’s how he’s going about it that seems a little... ‘revivey’

Dude has ripped so hard and has been saying "I'm not done! I need a sponsor!" in interviews for years now.

I can only assume that one of these is true:

1) he's not skating that well anymore.
2) there's some aspect of his personality that we can't see that makes no one want to work with him
or
3) he's actually the super nice, creative awesome dude he appears to be & he just doesn't fit into the kookfest that is the skateboard industry now.

My money's on #3.

He should start by filming a short but amazing part. This would gather hype and get brands to realize that with proper marketing his name could move tons of product.

Agreed. This doesn't reflect badly on Jeremy Wray at all in my eyes - it's just fucked that it's come to this. Does he gotta put a sponsor me tape together or what? Dude's done enough to justify milking it with little clips here and there like most legend-status pros of his age do, but it sounds like he's still got the gumption of a hungry am on the come-up. It's fucked up that that's even a relevant point. Hopefully his fucked up situation results in him throwing down and putting out a banger of a part to say Fuck you to everyone who slept on him.

Thrasher magazine hosting the part and interview would be in good taste.

If Plan B is giving Pat Duffy's dusty, racist ass a board they should give one to Wray.

I'd rather see a blockhead board at this point honestly

He deserves it more than any other pro.

He’d stick out like a sore thumb on FA, but it’d be great.  Can anyone give me the cliff notes explaination of why he is so undervalued by the industry? 
When nothing in society deserves respect, we should fashion for ourselves in solitude new silent loyalties.

With all due respect, he already said this in a Jenkem interview:

Quote from: Jenkem
I’m still skating a lot and I’m far from done. A few new sponsors and a crew that’s down to skate and film with is all it would take to step right back into the productive skate life roll again. I’m still optimistic about the future and am always looking forward to the next session. The current project is filming for the Bones Wheels video when I’m not working with the Built To Shred guys. With any luck I’ll be able to put together a part for the video and get the ball rolling toward a full blown comeback.

(Source: http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2011/12/28/the-stuff-you-want-to-know-about-jeremy-wray/)


He also said this in his Chrome Ball interview in March of this year:

Quote from: Chrome Ball
Do you feel that you have another banger part in you?

Yes, given the opportunity. Definitely. I’m in prime fighting shape right now and ready for the next challenge. While some people might cringe at the thought of having to film another part, I’ve actually always enjoyed the process. Once you start getting out there and bulding up some good footage, there’s really no better feeling than seeing it all come together in the end. There's a real feeling of accomplishment with every new part.

(Source: http://chromeballincident.blogspot.com/2018/03/chrome-ball-interview-115-jeremy-wray.html?m=1)

That Jenkem interview came out in December of 2011, roughly seven years ago. SEVEN. A solid year before Pretty Sweet came out. Grant Taylor had just won SOTY. Dill and Ave still rode for Alien Workshop. Speaking of which, that year brought us Transworld’s ‘The Cinematographer Project’, where Jake Johnson and Gilbeet Crockett went pro, and the world realized Dyrdek and Berra weren’t on AWS. Just to show you how fucking long he’s been saying this, and how much time he’s had to film a part. Or just a few tricks. Or a single trick.

Get off your fucking ass, tag along on some sessions, call up some filmers. For fucks sake, you live in Southern California. I know of four other filmers within a half hour drive of me (five if you count me). That number goes way up if you count people with smart phones. If I wanted to, I could find someone to film my ass tomorrow. And it’s going to be hovering around 35 tomorrow, not in sunny california. And I’m not Jeremy fucking Wray.

Shit or get off the pot. You have the means. Stop bitching and unwillingly tying whining on Instagram to the water tower Ollie or the Carlsbad line.
