That’s not virtue signaling, though.

Rad to hear. Dude is fun to watch with cool trick selection. I back it.

The dude with the Death gear isn't Dead Dave (ironic I know) - still weird that homie chose to hold up his own skateboard and stand in the middle in this pic.

Still - Dead Dave is the best, super fun to watch always, and last year's No Ollie Skater of the Year (NOSOTY)

I love watching him skate. Totally unique style and in his own world. I love it. Pretty sure the top deck I posted here is the Mutant shape.

Much better news than "Pro Dave is dead"!

[Eric Dolphy]

heroine is dope

I would be 500% more likely to cop a board if FOS added an "e" to the end. That 9" double shovel looks dreamy

[Lou Strux]

Dude’s skating makes me want to grab my board & head outside every time I watch one of his parts.
Nuttiness in the best possible way.
Excellent call on your part, @darkthrone.

+1 100% agree. I would never ever purchase any product by this brand, completely because of it’s name. It’s bizarre to me that of all the reconsiders/name change/logo change, this upsetting, tone deaf and really insensitive name just coasts along in skating. More bizarre with the lives lost/ruined by hard drugs in the skating community. Not funny, not cool, not edgy. Fuck heroin.

I think he might be one of those genuine weirdos, not one of them fake weirdos... I dig it.

i feel like story is that heroin is named as such as a reference to Fos' straight edge-ness and skateboarding being his heroin/drug of choice. not that anyone could tell that by just seeing the word in the wild. i used to work in a skate shop and had a lot of older people come in flipping out, sometimes tearing up about seeing the word heroin out the front. it can make for some awkward situations - i was also once pulled over by the police because of the heroin sticker on my car. they wanted me to take it off and searched my car for drugs - pretty bizarre if i sold heroin out of my car and had a heroin sticker to advertise the fact. i didn't take the sticker off but the car blew up a week later. i would not put a heroin sticker on my car again...

dead dave is cool. he feels like a more prolific craig questions.

And here I was thinking it was merely a reference to the addictive nature of skating to people like us (may I include you in this?)
I never actually took it as an endorsement of the substance itself, but I suppose I could be wrong.
Personally, as somebody who still actively skates (such as it is) skreet at almost 50, I periodically need to explain myself to peers when I roll up on my bloard. On numerous occasions I’ve referred to skating as my personal version of heroin, in that I just can’t quit, regardless of how dangerous it may be to somebody my age. Junkies like me still need their fix, ya know?
But yeah, the drug is no joke. Pretty serious stuff, actually.
Thankfully, skateboarding isn’t.

[Nicki]

Probably my all time favourite Simpsons reference. Yeah, this is totally me. It’s actually annoying really because I’d back them if they had a different name, my loss I guess, but it’s personal.

Good post.

Yeah, it is awkward. Like you say, Fos is likely using it as a metaphor, but I just can’t back the insensitivity of having an opioid plastered on my board. The stories you’ve said of people crying upset is just what I’m talking about, it’s distressing. Fentanyl Skateboards anyone? Even if it’s a metaphor? I think not.
