Heyoh Tim. Shoutout to the whole Emerica team, new and old riders, you rule.
1. You're having a nightmare, and you're driving the team van.
You look back in the rearview mirror, and the Emerica Team is replaced by an army of Corey Clones, created by Corpo Commander to create a diversion, so Cyborg Sinclair could kidnap the entire Emerica Team, and take them back to his secret Darkman Shed, located somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.
You wake up the next morning all sweaty, dream within a dream style, and you hear the phone ringing. It's Tod Swank calling to you say that he bought the Emerica team from Corpo Commander for Tum Yeto, and they're bumping you down to warehouse clerk for Dekline, and they're giving your Emerica Team manager job to Ragdoll.
That same day, Bill Weiss calls to say they've got a TM job for you at Darkstar/Blind, with a pay raise.
What do you do, stay with your bros, and work in the warehouse at Dekline, or go work with a new squad over at Darkstar/Blind?2. Something about Duffman and Emerica just works for me. I don't want to live in a world where Corey Duffel and Chris Cole don't have their classic board sponsors.
Can you pull some special darkman strings and get Corey back on Foundation, and maybe Cole back on Zero? With that said, I think this move would pave the way to Corey having cause for a legit spot within the Emerica team.
3. Since they make the Reynolds Low as the Low Vulc now,
is it possible to re-make the MJ classic shoe, and call it the EmJ? And also, since you have a lot of skaters in CA where it's legal,
could you make it so you can smoke the laces after you shred through them, in this special GREEN colorway? So I can get inpired while I'm listening to my "stoner rock"?
4. I noticed a lot of records in the Deadline edit,
how do you convert music from vinyl to digital, or is do you just look at vinyl for research, and then go buy the high-res digital track?
5.
How can fans of your brand help spread the word, so we continue to have Emerica as an option on the shelf at their local skater owned & operated shop?
6. Big SHALOM to you Tim and Emerica for carrying on the torch for the brand we love.
In the book, "The Outsiders", they talk about how "nothing gold can stay".
What is your biggest challenge as team manager, working to continue to make Emerica grow, in a post-Reynolds era of growth and change for Emerica?7. I rock my customized Fos chillers and my
Figgy Dose black/black, sz 10.5/11.
What are your 2 Emerica go-to shoes?Thank you for your time, keep up the good work Tim.
