What I don’t understand is why would baker boys take on 917 and have the brand die there. Seems like they’re gonna use their resources to streamline the brand cause it’s clearly troubled organization wise.

I wonder if the quality is gonna change In 917’s product due to the switch to baker boys

I’m not an industry guy, so who are you dudes calling the brand done. Bold claim no source cited

Didn’t Cyrus do some of the graphics with his art school background?

nothing's been the since same

There is nothing to stream line. They are not gonna exist purely as a brand with no team. To me it seems as though Robin Fleming through her past relationships got Baker Boys to distribute their boards to a broader range of shops for this last drop. Couldn't imagine how much it would suck trying to sell boards on your own when you know the company is done.

Oh I see. Helping 917 liquidate then. That makes sense. Damn.

I wish maquina de amor would have landed a clip in a video before the company ended

That explains why I saw them sitting on the grass together sharing ideas at this school I was skating.

Robin Fleming was one of the best people I got to know when I worked in skating. I wish her nothing but the best. At the same time I know next to nothing about 917.
ok thanks

917 and the bakerboys brands are from the same woodshop. Cyrus was an industrial design major

its so weird to see AO fucking up such a goldmine or cashcow as 917 was.
he had the name and reputation and connections to make the fashionworld skateworld crossover happen.
even tho he turned out kooky, his reputation was totally fine in the beginning and so was his founding of a brand totally legit.
he had a massively stacked and highly motivated team and somehow managed to produce two topshelf videos.
his brand was the hot commodity all over the world and even sold out.

like WTF? how lazy and without passion does he have to be to fuck this up. i absolutely can not imagine it.
even if you don´t care at all, it wouldn´t have been too much of an effort to manage it and your team or atleast hire some TM to get it to a point where you can basically lay back and milk it.

the cyrus bunt left the impression that alex absolutely lost his mind.

ergo: don´t homeschool your kids!

Alex was un-schooled I believe is the phrase. No idea what that means. To remove knowledge?

Haha I gotta listen to this. Does Cyrus mention Alex giving up skating to just read and repost life hacks from “@alkalinevegan”? Fuck skating bro did you know if you change your diet to all quinoa and open your pituitary gland you won’t have to wipe when you shit. Because for some reason he believes that some early vegan subsection of humans way before our time didn’t have to wipe after shitting.


That’s literally what AO did with 917, ignored it until everyone left so he could focus on taking the perfect shit. Kinda craze

idk about all the hate dudes. 7 years is a damn good run. Those 2 917 videos are timeless. And Alex did a hell of a lot of "talent scouting" and put a bunch of young or low-key dudes on a huge ass platform.

Maybe the business or TM-ing part wasn't his thing but this dude definitely made his mark on the 2010s.

If I had the opportunity to take perfect shits for the rest of my life at the cost of alienating my friends and fucking up my business prospects, I'm choosing the shits every time.
