917 too cool for school Robin ran it into the ground and now goes back to her old home to save it. Sounds very Democratic of 917. Cool concept that never took off due to poor mgmt now its 3/4 DOA at BB. Another company that pros get paid next to nothing to have a board on.

BB, I believe wanted to distribute 917 right off the bat?
That would have been a good idea. Maybe the team would have stuck around?

Those 917 videos have a great vibe. I do enjoy seeing that crew skate, love that John Wilson 2020 video a great deal. Have never gotten a 917 board though.

This is great news. Always liked this company but finding decks was a pain in the ass. Hopefully they move into regular releases and more product.

Stoked. Really love the art direction and 917 riders and always thought they could be incredibly successful had poor management not been in the way.

Really hope I won’t be seeing 917 decks in the local mall...
As soon as Nelson hears that anything is “small and intimate” he gets paranoid he’s not invited and goes crazy to get there, so he put his mind to it and got there through someone else. It turned out to be thousands of people there so when he saw Paul he said, “Small, intimate world, isn’t it?

Is this true? Must have missed the thread on that... Any info?

People really in here claiming they like the art direction when it's the most half-baked shit ever. Not even half-baked, quarter-baked. Love the team and vids though.

Didnt Logan run 917? From what I heard, Alex had no part in managing the team, graphics, edits etc. AO definitely influenced a lot of what the brand is don’t get me wrong, however word on the street is that he gave the keys to Logan to run the company however he liked.

Cyrus’ comment how AO isn’t his boss on the slappals questions should make much more sense if this were the case.

Can anyone confirm if I’m right or way wrong?:))

They just had another drop and all recent media from their riders have them wearing team gear and riding team boards. Vincent and Nik left, but that’s hardly the entire company. Aidan wasn’t there for long I have no idea how they ever thought he would stay.

Yeah but I want some context.  Didn’t know she was involved.  What happened?
