Kid is beyond overrated and apparently not loyal nor willing to do any long haul work with sponsors.

Drugs and what is perceived to be an infinite amount of money will get him. If he mattered in two years from now, I’d be shocked.

You continually prove to be one of the most delusional posters on this message board. Congratulations.

Glad you’re following along!

Kader should sign with Nike once he figures "it" out. Take the money and run, his 30 year hold self would appreciate it. Can't skate forever, eff getting some lame day job once you're done on the board.

[Pete]

waiting for the inevitable post of him doing all those tricks over that bank skating in timbs.

Why does anyone care? He still hasn’t really released a marquee part. Baker 4 was a weird underwhelming mix that wasn’t bad, but forgettable. His style is improving, but there’s only so much IG park footage and shitty edits one can put out before the hype simmers.

I'm sure most of the pros with Nike contracts aren't mad at the decision to ride the Swoosh, Lisa. Everyone wants to live a kush life post skate career.

Sorry dawg. Not bad by any means, but in 2020 a couple skatepark flip tricks cut up to future(?) ain't exactly standout content.

He sponsor hops more than anyone else in recent times but I have no vested interest in these companies. I don't get the hype but am also not 12. Kids obviously like him enough to get these companies to entertain all this.

[banksandledges]

Almost getting to Kader Markovich status. Anyone remember when Tyshawn was skating Nikes for a brief minute before going to ///?

[BobbyPshew]

He's right on track to go down Antwuan Street.
Was I imagining things, or did I see a clip of Reynolds giving Kader a buzz cut and finding a huge mass of psoriasis on his scalp?

What? Why is he on track to be like Antwuan? Because he smokes weed and changes his sponsors?

[ballintoohard]

certainly isn't because of putting out legendary parts.

And is Black??! Fucking racist pig!

As i said before, antwuan was battling personal losses and feeling alone. His lifestyle alone didnt turn him the way he was. His thinking was blocked by depression and Drug use was making him numb. Kader seems like a happy kid Smoking weed like any other kid does his age.

Fuck Companys bro they earn money off of you go anywhere you want. I love the idea of being sponsored by someone just for year or so

[Atiba Applebum]

When people say Antwuan is it because they can’t think of a second super popular black skater because I don’t see any commonalities other than Baker.  Darrell Stanton is the obvious correlation to make if you’re going down this dumb path with leaving Real/Vans for the Plan B/DC shit show and kooking himself out of the industry

yeah exactly wtf he just did some of the easiest flips tricks down like a 7 stair gap at a skatepark and people are hyping the fuck out of him? Have you seen pros skate lately? This isn't it. Penny did a much better switch fs flip over a handrail down a gap twice as big like 25 years. It's all hype, he is extremely marketable and is a great addition to any team because of this but not really an amazing skater. Dudes working full time jobs at my local park would switch big flip that little gap and not even bother to film it.

[fs180]

Those switch big Flip guys, can they skate Transition and do every single basic flip Trick down gaps while looking beautiful doing it? I doubt that those 28 year old red neck skaters have the same skating ability as kader. Prove me wrong.


Also i dont Think he hasnt done those tricks down the gap before.

[JugeL]

Kaders insta seems more like a weed dispensary commercial than skateboarders profile these days

[Fifty8mm]

Kid has good style.
I like watching him skate. One of the few skaters i don't mind watching skate park footage of.

At this point I back him fucking with shoe sponsors. Why would you be loyal to nike, adidas or vans. I still don't understand this brand loyalty bullshit. For hardgoods i get it. Especially for smaller brands. But for billion dollar corps gtfo. Especially if you have no contract.

[KBizzle]

It's pretty common that athletes who don't have a shoe contract wear any and everything until they do. I'm wearing whatever TF I want if I'm not getting paid.

[TheDraught]

It's insulting to compare 'Twan to Kader, at one point he was on another level, whereas Kader is, well just watch the insta clip above this.

As for blaming a teen to make stupid decisions sponsorwise... C'mon.

[fs180]

Tf are you guys watching the same insta Clips as me? Kader is so damn good. He skates lines upon lines what are you talking about? He is has a far bigger bag Bag of tricks than antwuan had. He just cant stomp and skate big stuff yet like antwuan whos like 6'4 did


I love how skaters Think at vans everyone in the company involved are family and friends and everyone skates during their Lunch break at the factory and the guys play games of skate and they have a miniramp in the bathroom.

In reality 90 percent never stood on a board and the Rest are some Business guys who skated in the 80s and only know shit about carving and skating slalom


Yo how can u let down those rich Business guys and Chinese workers you never met in your life? They wsnted to earn money from you how dare you to just leave

He good, but simmer the fuck down bro god damn

[fs180]

Im not angry bro i Think its stupid to hate on a kid like that for trying things out.
I always hated those older skaters who would lil bro you and as long as its straight up skating be your friend cause they can learn from you but make fun of your mistakes and struggles of growing up.

Vans is so much bigger than Andrew reynolds. They are happy because more skaters feel like buying vans nower days but lets be real skaters arent the biggest selling market of nike,adidas or even vans. Losing a rider is making them lose sales but i Think they can stay in Business with minor losses no matter who is leaving.

With decks its different, but at the same time, if sombody doesnt want to ride for you anymore, after you kicked out guys right before having a video part in baker 4, i wouldnt feel sorry either. Those werent friendships than? So than its about sales and productivity. Even worse when you skate better than ever like cyril Jackson did.

[Sila]

Why hate on him for insta throwaway park clips? You all know how this shit works.

[conqueso]

antuwans parts are timeless. don't think I've ever rewatched a kader part

I saw him at courthouse a few times a couple months back and his style is amazing in person especially for the random switch nollie tricks he was just fucking around with it looked like. But I agree with everyone on here he has yet to really do anything pro worthy . He’s not really any different than most these LA park kids.
