Julian Davidson on Deathwish

[Seadramon]

Julian's tight with the Boss and Spanky from RVCA trips. Obviously has some other ties as well.

Pretty surprising but really rad. Hope to see him fully on emerica soon as well.

That Tom & Jerry graphic is sick!

Lol

Hopefully Deathwish can market Julian better than Element.
While he obviously has talent, he just seems to be stuck as the "middle of the video" guy whose part is good but you can't recall a single trick.

Again, no knock to Julian's ability, but if the couldn't sell Furby or Moose boards, Davidson will need some really heavy tricks to stand out as his personality alone isn't gonna cut it.

I wonder how lonely Nick Garcia is these days[\b].

He started flipping his board now.

I’m already expecting a Harley logo board.

[Brguy]

Now that was fast. I wonder if they'll release a proper welcome part, I'm sure whatever they do will put him in a better light because of the different filming and editing.

[sexualhelon]

I get the connections but am I the only one who thinks that him just turning pro for Deathwish feels kind of random?

[Patrick2G]

I think this is a very cool fit. I’m digging it. I am a huge fan of Julian. Very weird EE or Jim weren’t involved in giving him his board.

i mean, he's been pro on element for years right? it'd be weirder to be dumped to am status

[urbneathme]

feels like the boss and spanky wanted him in the room but the baker card is way too filled out by forgettable mid-video fixtures how. deathwish needed someone to fill space between delfino doing irreparable damage to his brain and foy crooking 90 handrails

[TurdyBird]

I think this is a sick fit. It feels more of a genuine Baker rider. Gets dropped from his former sponsor for partying to hard. Still rips and is probably a fun guy so the baker boys pick him up.

Shit fits. You guys thinking it's weird are tripping. This feels more appropriate than a Dilo addition and I like Dilos skating.

Celery Man reference and a Peep Show reference.  A+ For me

Seems odd to give the deck out after ad in magazines and with seemingly all Baker guys (baker and dw haven’t seem that connected these days) but I chalk it all up to Pandemic situations.

fuck yes

really? fuck yes?

I have never gotten the appeal of Julian Davidson. I can't remember a single trick he's ever done, and I've never seen a video part of his that was in any way interesting. He doesn't do unique tricks or have a unique style, or have any sort of personality to his tricks.

Where is all this enthusiasm coming from? I've never understood any hype for the dude on here, much like Jake Donnelly. I feel like they're being hyped by people within the industry, and only by people within the industry. They're nobody's favorite skater, but if you came on SLAP you'd think they were some of the best ever.

Seriously can someone name a single trick Julian Davidson has ever done?

I think Jake Donnelly has a super sick style and his career was mostly plagued by injuries + being an insufferable douche bag, but I agree with everything else you said. There's a weird disconnect between pro skaters who gain traction on Slap as group favorites and their standing in the "real world." That Cookie dude is a good example, people were throwing his name around for SOTY last year but I've never heard his name uttered in real life.

With that being said, I'm not a fan of Julien Davidson but for whatever reason, I'm not mad about his career's second wind. He's pretty bland in every aspect, but somehow ends up on a better brand despite being close to 30 years old? I'm with it.

[Luddite]

I think Julian Davidson has always had good style but he's never really lived up to any sort of potential he had. Hopefully since he's been sober for the last little while and he's getting new sponsors that means he's got some good new footage.

Davidson needs a decent hair cut and a personality.

if you've ever been to Cherry park and have met Julian, dudeis honestly the nicest person. No cool-guy shit at all from him

[close]

Got drunk with him once at a party. We were pretty much the only skaters there. Total skate rat and super nice guy. Not a pretentious bone in his body.

Major props to him. He deserves it.

Cool story but a guy can be all of those things and be boring as fuck. Maybe the part I said about the haircut was outta line, he just strikes me as a super bland Axel Cruysberghs or something. There's a hell of a lot of skaters nowadays and for me, this guy doesn't catch my eye or put out anything interesting. What I'm trying to say is Element looked like a pretty sound fit to me, just my opinion though...

If you can't sleep I recommend:

I always remember how beautiful his fakie heel was down the Parks 10 in his VX part. 2:53:

That's basically how I feel as well, I've kind of glossed over him but it's cool that he's getting this opportunity. The kickflip noseblunt was nice.

[Little Debbie]

his younger footage was pretty dope. I remember his stuff in the old RVCA promo with David Reyes. he had a mean bs bigspin and kickflip

Like Leo Romero on Baker
Like Puleo on Enjoi

I'm not hugely knowledgeable of this guy but this part definitely doesnt help combat the view that he is pretty standard and forgettable

[nino brown]

amazing how you asshole praise the dudes on mango or ben kadow but then say julian is boring has plenty of style and dope trick selection

i bet yall think jamie foy is watchable

it’s brand snobbery

if this guy went to isle or polar or quasi, they’d say he’s awesome

This has to be the most boring industry move in years

Would they? I think people would be very confused.


If they were going to add someone in their late 20's, I would've gone with Frankie Heck. Obvious Julian is well known by their riders and by Andrew so it makes enough sense.

[Allez_Jambon]

he looks great on a skateboard. i know nothing about him, so deathwish is sort of surprising to learn. is he secretly a bad boy?

I remember his first tricks in Future Nature, the rest of the part was pretty forgettable to me, but the beginning stuck in memory. I'm still hoping they put out a part that showcases his skating better, good editing can do wonders to his image and stuff.
