In my opinion he’s the next Adrian Lopez.

So, he's going to have one of the most popular skateshoes of all-time with his next sponsor?

they’re the same height

Hate this kid because his name sucks, his nick name sucks, and apparently his attitude sucks.

That's the thing about skating in 2020.... doesn't really matter how good you are because there's 428429 other kids just as good, if not better. That's the interesting thing about being pro these days. Ben Kadow, who is way better than I ever was, shouldn't be a pro, but he's got style. Conversely you got a guy like T FuNk who is much better than Kadow, but I'd rather watch Ben.

How you guys gonna bash T-Funk's style and then say you like Kadow?

I love to skate his hi shoe with footprint elites, so I really hope DC will continue make them with different name and plain black-white colourways.

Don't have that strong opinion about the guy, I guess he's into punk rock which is always cool for sure.

[BALARGUE]

they won't

They're on sale on the DC site right now.

I like T-Funk's skating. I like his trick/spot selection. Decent gnar level (without totally marrying himself to that lane). Style isn't outstanding, but doesn't bother me. Kits are trendy, but not to a terrible degree. The Kader/T-Funk shared part was one of my favourites in Baker 4. I'm too old to idolize a 20 year old, but if I were 14, I'd probably go out of my way to buy his board/shoes/whatever.

I can't speak to the 'he's an asshole' rumors, but if he's not much more of an asshole than the average boy in his teens or early 20's with any kind of money or notoriety, I do not care.

When did this thread get derailed about style and behavioral problems?

Kadow has horrible style, what are you talking about?

Awful in my opinion, not to mention he seems like he's absolutely miserable to even be skating in all his footage and doesn't have the explosive, excitement factor that T-Funk has.

Both look extremely kooky. Both are relatively entertaining to watch. Both are probably absolute shitheads.

I mean... I'm saying Kadow shouldn't be a pro. But his intro in that early Hockey promo when you see his serial killer eyes was pretty awesome and different. With this surplus of talent these days it takes something more than just that to get some shine. And quite frankly, if you're a shithead you're replaceable.

Little orphan T-Funkhouser

[rukes]

There should be a curb episode where Larry gets offended by Funkhousers grandson T-Funk and they have a big yelling argument with crazy hand waving in the air. Then sonehow in the end, T-Funks safety hands save Larry from a falling box or something. The writers can iron out the rest.

Ironically, those are the 2 brands he's been pictured rocking these past couple weeks.

He might not get a pro model on the bigger brands, but he definitely deserves to get paid by a shoe sponsor. His DC pro model just looked like a Converse All Star in footage, so I guess Cons could be a fit. Vans seems most likely, especially with the Baker connections, and with them now just wanting 896 skaters on the team for whatever reason. He's not my favourite or anything, but I truly don't get how some of you hate this guy so much.
