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.

He's obnoxious and ungrateful. When he was coming up everyone hated him and only gave him shine for his talent. Even then it was still a thing. "Froston," his dork tricks, the Yea Right intro...... then social media hit and it was very fucking apparent.

Dude has no social skills and doesn't seem to care.

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.

Their art direction is akin to a sweatpants company whose ads appear in your instagram feed.

Honestly, I figured they would be better off joining MJ in making Business & Company a better version of Girl and Chocolate.

when guy disappeared he disappeared to skid row. dude was doing all types of heavy drugs. he and his wife go into detail in his epicly laterd if you want to know more. walking around nodding out with paulo diaz and shit who had already disappeared down that road himself.

i was just making a dumb joke, shouts out to guy for beating drugs and getting out before fentalouges took over. shits being cut into absolutely everything these days. be careful if you do drugs, get a testkit stay alive fellas.

Pretty sure Koston's on Skate Mental? He had two boards in the last catalog.

My friend that has a sneaker/streetwear shop gave me a Numbers/Soulland collab board as a Christmas gift. He had those boards in the store because they stock Soulland. I don’t think he sold a single one of them, even when half priced (they ain’t a skate shop tho so that might be it).
Still, altho I’m not a huge fan of Numbers the graphic is kinda cool and I do love their team so not that embarrassed about it.
I do wish everyone would just pull a Miles Silvas and quit that sinking ship to get a better deal.
I heard that Magnus has like a full part ready to go pro but it’s in stand-by for some reason...  :'(

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

Very good.


Also to reiterate that I hope Durao can get on a proper company. He's a super underappreciated talent.

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.

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

Yeah, Koston seems mostly liked by his peers (now his skill will buy him a ton of leeway), but compared to some other guys who get life-time passes for just being good, I haven't seen anything egregious. It's funny the dichotomy between MJ, Koston and Daewon. Everyone thinks Thank You sucks, but no one is going in on Daewon. Koston's a bit of a spazz, MJ is borderline crazy, but both help define skating for anyone who cared about skating between 1993-2010.

Never got into Koston because of shit like this. In almost everything he gets involved with, he always has to make sure that everyone knows how ‘funny’ he is.  Great on a skateboard but such an annoying kook.

I don’t like his hair.  I don’t like how he squats on landings and takeoffs either.  Great trick selection tho

Oh no, you got me fucked up over the squat. I can't unsee it, but it's not terrible.

I also dont like the way Gilbert Crockett sets up for tricks and I feel so alone on that one.

The whole "Numbers is funded by Nike" rumor doesn't add up, there was a huge Numbers x Adidas collab a few years back with shoes and a stack of apparel, would be a weird flex for a nike funded company.

I had a numbers board, wood and shape were great, like a snubby Quasi 8.5 but on BBS.

Durao is great, would love to see him on primitive, putting out footage and exchanging high fives and toothy smiles with Franky and Tiago.

If you see offensive comments, just let it go into one eye and let it out of the other eye, no tears and not sadness or anger.

The logo is nice. They just never seemed to get the company to make sense.

Before reading the little bits that people are jumping ships. I was gonna say that maybe they’re waiting for boards. Kinda like how Paul Hart (fuck this fool) went pro for cliche before they went away knowingly.

Where do you all think Durao is going. I like Primitive but I can see April having more room for him.
Nothing I do deserves more than an iphone camera.

He'd blow his knees out if he didn't squat with that kind of pop.
