i'm more curious, was anyone expecting Mason to get SOTY before this year??
quite the comeback after being sponsor-less for so long.
What does that second sentence mean?
the gap year between him quitting Element and riding for Real, don't remember if he was fully on Nike either
i just remember it seeming like he was in an Austyn-type situation
He’s been on Nike for as long as I can remember and he was on Real months before they announced it according to his interviews
i mean.. i'd imagine most people are getting hooked up months before any official announcements
my point and the Element curse still stands, he had no board sponsor for the better portion of 2019
I don't think him being on Element had him 'cursed' for most of 2019. These things also take time to happen. Look at how long it took for Bobby & Quasi. Was that the Habitat curse?
the ‘element curse’ was long before Mason.
it’s about how most Element riders seem to have trouble finding a new home after leaving the brand (Bam, Tosh, Tave, you could make the case for Nyjah/Evan, the list goes on). not saying it’s real, it’s just happened enough times that it raises an eyebrow.
also, Bobby left Habitat specifically for Quasi. that was basically lined up.
I thought it was common knowledge Mason had difficulty finding a new board sponsor after Element. wasn’t that what his ‘Out There’ was about?? there was a time on here that people thought he was going to get on Foundation iirc.
