Nike probably diverted the money to Glue.

In all seriousness.... Koston and Guy never had a chance. One is a terrible human being and the other is a space cadet. There was never a moment of substance and their initial videos were awkward and forced. I hope Durao gets his.

Who cares if Koston is a bit annoying.  You think it bothers any Michael Jordan fans that he’s a border-line sociopath?

I never got the impression Koston is a terrible human being (unless that poster means Guy for the whole Justin Pierce shit). He just seems like a bit of a spazz when it comes to social media.

[close]

Same.  He seems to go on a lot of skate trips and is enjoyed by the younger guys.  I’d be a spazz too if I had to deal with that amount of commenting and input he receives and it’s not like he’s done anything lame on IG in many years.   People just want to keep kicking at him and MJ which I don’t get.  They were the greatest skaters in my lifetime.  I don’t enjoy them struggling

You have to remember that it's "normal" for anybody under like 23 to totally judge people based off how they come off on social media.

That's where the hate with both Koston and MJ comes from. Kids who grew up conditioned to commutate on apps who have formed negative perceptions towards dudes in their 40's who try forcing themselves to communicate in a way that isn't natural for them.

haha what bro? maybe you didnt skate until social media, but koston has been known as a kook for decades. as stated in this thread, that guy is the original "yeah hes insane at skating, but should never open his mouth" type dude around due to being so corny.

MJ has been pretending he is some sort of elitist scholar/woodsman/ quirky moron for a very long time but in reality hes just as if not more braindead than every other dude that dropped out of highschool to sk8. check hot chocolate tour for early documented proof.

primitive already has too many pros, frog would be sick but i could see alltimers or maybe quasi

[Atiba Applebum]

Don’t know where this primitive talk comes from.  917 would make the most sense with Max and Cyrus, Frog second. 

[BroBruhBra]

I'm 36..... Koston is lame because Koston is lame.

MJ is a saint.

[ilikebigbutts]

I find weird people say they never saw them in the wild. Where I live I’d see them a lot, not only boards but guys wearing their clothes too I saw often. Their boards always seemed to sell out right away. Personally I liked the brand and their videos. Koston releasing a part for numbers would of being good.

[Pete]

where the hell do you live? is anyone at that shop somehow flow for numbers? otherwise i dont even beleive you

Durao on frog would be so good

He'd be like what Zared is to Alltimers.....

[I_Respect_Wood]

Kostons Tampa pro runs have always been hard to watch, I don't think any person there ever thought it was funny.
Durao deserves so much better.

Maybe people started to miss his rounds after seeing manchild kookin it trying to emulate koston.


Also is crazy how here in Argentina, where is always hard to get brands from US, at some point everyone was skating numbers boards and rocking hats and clothes..

Also Duraoon alltimers will be sick, not my favorite, like his skating don´t get me wrong but I also at some point asked why is so much hype arround him...

Numbers graphics looked like they took a shell suit from the early '90's and put it in a heat press.

It's criminal that someone as gifted and influential as Guy has no board sponsor.

On that note, I could see board companies and board sponsors becoming a thing of the past, in the not too distant future.

[Billy Bitchcakes]

Where would we get our boards from?

Reminds me of when the Patriots lost their "Perfect" season and the t-shirts they prematurely printed were sent to 3rd world countries as charitable donations.

That happens multiple times a year for all sports, especially for one-off playoff games, not just 07 Patriots

[PatrickSkateman]

Those boards had amazing shapes.

1000% agree with this, he is way way too damn good to be on Frog even if hes friends with them. They only have two pros as well and it seems like they couldnt pay him that much either

[my english is bad]

I can see Durao on Krooked and TX in primitive

[offkilter]

Idk if you're joking but this would actually be a perfect fit

[larryhagman]

Could see long hair and leather jacket-Durao on Alva

[BUSSY]

Numbers has to be done they’ve been inactive forever

It sucks to see that they never did any team trips or anything having the team put all of their eggs in their baskets for nothing In return.

I wouldn’t put the blame on Koston or Guy... I feel personally that it could be from how the money was being budgeted being that they make all of their cut and sew in L.A and the filming all of your shit on a red camera isn’t cheap to rent out.

Durao, it be cool to see him on palace or krooked. Fuck it just a brand that will give him some money. He should be crushing Red Bull’s and shit.

[Rasmus]

Those videos they did, which had a sort of un-edited feel to them (I know that they were edited) was actually kind of cool. It was a fresh approach, and they definitely had a video aesthetic, which was kinda unique. It just seems like they got tired or something :/

In 2021, I wish that the long time crailtappers sat down for a cup of coffee, and became friends again. Then they could make a relaxed video, and I could stop being bitter about my favourite skaters seemingly got in a bad place because of business! Maybe then I could sleep properly again

[DarkPools]

I genuinely enjoyed most of Numbers' graphics and design direction early on, and even some of their later stuff. I wish they won over more people because they had fantastic potential.
Good team with room to grow, simple but memorable name (some may think it's tacky but I thought the simplicity was clever), good startup money (from what I could tell), the edits as someone else mentioned felt natural for an "edit", and the shapes/wood were quality! I have skated at least 5 Numbers decks in the last 3 years and have 2 I'm gonna skate this year. All of them felt great, skated well, and didn't snap from regular use.

(Tactics sold out of all their spring '20 Numbers decks so they're still selling decently in some shops as far as I can see)

They could be dead/inactive but I doubt it as TX, Kyron, and Durao are still skating Numbers boards in their IG clips.
