Leandre Sanders Pro
« on: September 04, 2020, 10:05:51 AM »
Seems like he went pro for a board company that hasn't even started yet? Anyone have anything on Bryte Skateboards?

Did the Berrics believe in him so much that they created a new company for him to be pro on? And this isn't a jab at Leandre, I've seen clips, he doesn't suck. It's just I really haven't heard of him prior to this "How to turn pro in 10 days" promo and on Mamaskate's IG.

The nine club have been mentioning him for years and he had some berrics promo a few years ago. That’s how I found out about him, wish he would’ve went pro on death wish or something instead

I'm guessing this is the start of their interpretation of what Braille and Remive are doing--posting tons of video content, using "limited, exclusive drops" to push merch, and sponsoring people who are content with skating their local while never doing the traditional pro things (filming parts, shooting ads, etc.)

I could definitely see that.
Shots fired at Zumiez. https://bryteskateboards.com/ “NOT AVAILABLE AT ZUMIEZ”
Reminds me of infomercials “NOT SOLD IN STORES” Maybe for good reason.

This dude is really good and way better than I ever was or will be but I just don’t think he’s pro skateboarder good. Maybe I just haven’t seen enough.

Also why couldn’t they just spell it “Bright”? The dumb spelling makes me think it’s some startup that has an open workspace full of couches and a kitchen stocked with Fiji water and kind bars.

Hand screened and pressed by Prime. Still not worth $99 imo, autographed or not.

Do y’all think Leandre rides twin-tail style decks? Or double-nose decks?
Kindly ruminate on that & get back to me w/ your speculations.

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me… You think you got me?

I don't hate that graphic

but did berrics actually start a brand? Is it a smart move for them to take an anti-Zumiez stance off the jump, when their only rider and graphic have strong Zumiez appeal?

Also, all that berrics marketing and no street part? C'mon!

This is 100% what they’re trying to do. Sill insane that it’s $100 for a deck. I know boards should be more expensive than they are but they can’t be that much more expensive, can they?

Can't really picture many shops besides Zumiez being excited about this. I'm going to start a brand and turn my cats pro. I'll be accepting sponsor me tapes soon.

Honestly, I'd bet they priced them so high simply to see if it would actually work since there isn't much to lose.

Best case: their hypothesis is confirmed--there's enough rich kids to buy them all. The boards sell out and now they have a bunch of kids feeling like they missed out and eagerly awaiting the next drop. Brand looks exclusive. Edit: they also "reset" the price/set a precedent for limited decks in the future.

Worst case: they have to put them on sale for a regular price (and still make a profit) or, and I wouldn't put it past them, they never sell the others, eat the cost, and tell the public they sold out so they can save the brand's image and try again with a different approach.

I'm probably overthinking this, but this might be what I would do if I were Berra and trying to "start up" a side gig.

I enjoy this dude’s IG clips a lot. Even if they’re all at Venice. And I actually like that graphic. Whatever. I don’t care if I have bad taste. But I don’t see him anchoring a brand new company AND that being the company that finally pushes deck prices to $100.

But good luck, dude. You rip.

pretty sure it's goofy on tranny and regular on street. I think he can only tre flip goofy and only kickflip regs. I've seen skaters whose stance followed a similar pattern, always mind blowing.

But he's fucking the mamaskate girl and I'm not, so I'm giving him the thumbs down
I was standing staring at the world, and I still can't see it

Lame as hell, if he waited and paid his dues he probably could've gotten on a decent company.
