From what I heard Pontus wants them posting instagram clips regularly.. Which sounds like a real Chief move.

And then there's Danes Instagram 😂

like polar way more than FA and actually think that he fits more into polar, but we'll see. istn FA/Hockey stacked enough already?

I agree, but I also hear that Pontus is really hard to work with.

Why do you think Pontus got kicked off so many companies?

Hockey

please god, no. and that's coming from a card-carrying andrew wilson fan.
I mean, is he raw? sure, quiet? yep, aggro? sorta. but dude had more personality back when he had gross dreads in Paych.
plus Hockey's at capacity in my opinion, at the risk of diluting the vibe/message with random team additions.

I think he doesn't wanna deal with being sponsored by a board company and would rather just ride for Nike... so, he'll probably get on 917.

Andrew Wilson is a beast, dude definitely deserves to get paid for his skateboarding

It kind of blows how Polar is losing all these good riders, first David, then Kevin Rodrigues and now this guy. I wonder what the reason behind it all is? Polar boards are pretty awesome, but I heard through the grapevine that Pontus is not super easy to work with.

I guess I understand that in order to put out videos like that you need some sort of quality control.

i absolutely hate this excuse. i get that not everyone can be an ishod footage machine, but you're a professional skateboarder. it's not that weird to me for your boss to expect you to post you skating

I hear ya, but I really feel that despite--or maybe because of--amazing sales and popularity this is meant to be a smaller, concept-first sister comany to FA (as the more traditional, big bloated super team), and not some present-era deluxe-style brand.
At this point it's not hard to find Hockey'ish prospects in every small rural town like some Skinhead Anti-Hero subsect, but obviously there's a little more nuance to it.

Wasn't he originally on Alltimers? He stood out more in that crew than he did over at Polar. He might not have left maybe Pontus is starting a 2nd board brand ala FA-Hockey.

If everyone rides an Antihero board, why can't this guy ride a Dylan board?

Really would like to see more footage of AW. Never seems to get enough coverage and WBIASP didn't really do him justice.

Fav AW clip

He's still on the team page

He’s off on the IG and most of the team pages. I saw him skating a couple 917 boards around NY

If he wants to skate an Elijah board let him

Seemed a little too much of a intense skate rager (I wanna use the "jock" but I know what that description points to and I guess it's not really Andrew. Just kinda not fun to be on a session with. But I could be wrong). And, he doesnt seem like enough of a serial killer to be on Hockey.
Not really a fan but he is incredible and he really goes for it. May he find is place.

I really like his skating but I get this kinda vibe too. Like he really wants to be the dude yelling on camera after his homie gets a clip.
