You say that like it's worked out swimmingly for them.

I blame instagram for this trend too.. kids like CJ and Kader have 400k followers. That’s a lot of advertising and marketability power it gives them. They don’t have to put out parts and hustle for years now - just get that follower count up dawg and you pro as fuck!

[h00man]

CJ is sick. Not gonna be buying his board though.

You're right... it has to do with imaginary 'core' standards that haven't been valid for a decade now

I wasn't gunna write about this but, due to popular demand, I've decided to share this interesting story about AM skater CJ Collins.

If you didn't know, I am a pretty dark black guy (I'm very sure that alot of you are surprised). I work at Fontana Skateparks which has quite a few pros and ams roll through. One particular night CJ COLLINS was there skating with an unnamed witness. As I entered the park, my witness says, CJ turned his head looked at me and called me a Nigger from the other side of the park. But it was the way he said it. My witness says that he has a hard time describing it (not surprising).

No surprise. He said the "F" word to an old lady, in his Thrasher part. Bad boy.

in b4 this thread is 20 pages

[squintharder]

the fact that he went pro at a contest says it all. shit's kinda lame if you ask me. tricks are cool, still got a little kid style tho.

I bet Bony turned pro at a contest.

[blunted]

CJ Collins is the face of privilege. This new generation of pros will all come from kids who were groomed and trained to become pro skaters by there parents. Nothing wrong with that, but the way he tries to rock the beanie and attitude just comes off really fake and Justin Bieberish.

CJ is Templeton's star. With the amount of star power he has in the mainstream skateboarding industry, he'd have to lynch someone to get called out. He's gonna get a pass cause he's a kid.

[moonordie]

That kid is gonna be really good in a few years but nobody will care

He's already super good but a lot of people, including me, won't ever care.

[Captain Creampie]

Not gonna save Toy Machine

[Murge]

Damn I have a soft spot for toy. But this kinda ruins it. Not because he’s turning pro at a young age but because he’s a racist Red Bull baby. It also paints Ed in a really hypocritical light. Which also sucks.

[Lenny the Fatface]

My gut reaction was that this was wack, but kid has almost 400k followers on insta. It's lame, but a CJ board is basically Ed printing money.

[ScudMantels]

We are living in the popularity contest age of skateboarding, every and any skateboarder who hits 250k followers on insta should go pro by default.

[Vomit Lust]

Kader went pro right about the time he starting showing up around the Supreme guys, right? It was a use it or lose it situation for Baker.

I’d bet this is the same sort of thing. Offers from other teams were probably coming in. Factor that in with Red Bull, kook skate dad, and actual ability and a long future if he doesn’t pile out, it makes sense to turn him pro.

From a money aspect anyway. He’s constantly on Provost and Leo’s insta. He’s at least coming up around solid dudes. Maybe the kid stands a chance.

[sharkin]

If the kid is competing at a pro level in a pro contest, why should he not have a board with his name on?

CJs a little fucker for sure, but he's a little fucker that will sell plenty of boards. You'd be stupid to let him jump to another brand.

[VHS ERA]

please don't compare Kader to this park ranger. I'm sure his skate coach is proud tho.

I follow Colllin, I don't remember anything of him, not even anything about him going pro? Maybe I just missed it.

[Vomit Lust]

Constantly wasn’t the right word. But he’s posted some clips of the kid when (I assume) they’re on the road.

Its been a popularity contest since street skating became a thing.
