[CBP]

Perfect fit. This was great haha. I love Gerwers voice overs in these ads.

[Utopos]

He is great at skating but i can't take much more of the trippy stoner vibe.

[Swithflip]

This brand will take FA place in the business.

[Cool Ceith]

I can't figure out if there's a master plan for Grimple or if this is essentially a go-with-the-flow experiment for Antihero.

[GAY]

Aye.
Conversely, the less I see of Evan Smith, the more I like him.

Reading this nice quip over Shannamal's sig (^) really gave it flavour.

[Googan Christmas]

This is the guy who like psychedelics, right? They should allude to that in some way if so.

If Evan Smith was serious about his hippy persona and the implicit disregard for capitalistic skateboard culture said persona entails, he’d stop making commercials and go live in a cave somewhere in India.
      The fact he continues to propagate this weird façade makes it clear he’s not serious about spiritual development/not making money off of skateboarding, but only cares about making us, the consumer, think he doesn’t care about making money off of skateboarding, thus making those consumers susceptible to this “fuck money let’s skate” ideology more likely to buy his board, and, therefore, make him money. It’s really an ingenious marketing ploy.
     Nothing against it, this way of selling product, or him. I mean, everything in skateboarding is a commercial when you boil it down, and the guy undeniably rips, but I just wanna call out the “this isn’t a commercial” commercial for what it really is, IE, a commercial, and make those consumers a little more aware as to why they choose the products they buy.
DLX is good wood though.

I fkn love his skating, just wish he kept his mouth shut. That bunt interview was fkn cringe tho, it was unbearable. He was kissing his sponsors asses so much he probably digested more shit than that KOTR episode

Same here... I have a friend that jusssst loooves him and it annoys TF out of me. "I just feel like he's a really great guy, you can tell. You know when you can just look at some one and tell."  I've heard that 20 fucking times from him.

Human shit smells way worse

Super positive dudes like Evan Smith and Dan Lutheran just fucking rub me the wrong way. Maybe I'm just bitter but shut up. We're all trying to be miserable out here.

   What i think happened here was Evan saw what Lutherman was up to and was like, "Hold my mushroom tea", cause he cranked the knob on the shittiness.  I respect Lutherman.  I respect Evan too i guess, just cant watch.

no, forced positivity is always annoying

Did he always do the safety hands thing? I understand doing it when you're not that good and need a shtick ( ), but he is way too good to need a shtick.
