I don't get April as a brand at all. The most basic lame board designs possible. Why bother?

This answer stands for any company that you older guys don't get: People other than you like the guys on the team

[HeavyAndExpensive]

Hahaha damn one of his April decks is all white with just a red sports car on it. Like Jesus, can you get any more lame? It’s like that personalityless kid you went to grade school with that had generic sports car posters and shit. Sports cars cool go vroom vroom fast!

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

I actually want an April deck

[waffle]

Skated ‘with’ Diego at skateparks a few times and the dude is always super chill and nice. Casually destroys the park but the type of dude to run out of the way to stop a random’s board that shot out and cheer others on.

Also he’s been dating the same chick before/after the major clout come up, which is super random to bring up, but  I think that speaks to his character. Same goes for his spending so much of his early career on his brother’s (cousin’s?) company.

Dude is undeniably talented.

[ziggy]

I don’t think April’s art direction is revolutionary but I like it better than any of the pretentious art school crap the boutique brands are peddling

[Allen.]

Has anyone confirmed that Diego isn’t a cyborg? He has zero personality and looks absolutely joyless in everything he does. I think he’ll be riding Weyland Corp boards soon.

Yutani of Weyland?

It would be better if they didn't rip off the girl scouts.

Actually didn't pay attention to it at all then I saw that part & was for sure it was doing good hahaha

In some ways, this was the coolest thing the company has done, which says a lot.

Advil sponsorship would be the ultimate get.

[Swithflip]

Dude would just drop a heavy part and stop complaining.

[theotherguy]

If Diego is indeed a nice guy that has some personality then his sponsors should try to show that side. Like, insert some smile B-roll or playing with a dog or something. That can make a big difference.

Wasn't Lance on Advil for a bit (or at least starred in their commercial).
Tylenol (or what's correct spelling) had full team called Team Ouch and TNT was sponsored by them.

C'mon man, you can't use their best graphic ever to excuse some of their lazier graphics.  I don't really care as long as they skate well

Haha yeah I remember the name Team Ouch. Was the Autumn Bowl the same as Tylenol Bowl?

[Pete]

yeah tylenol payed for the autumn bowl to be built. then backed out of the situation from what i remember, leaving it up to a bunch of crusty old dudes to pay for keys and rent.

if anyones ever over there go check out the building it used to be in. shits some kinda d-list WeWork space type thing now, if it werent for the abandoned building and graff across the street you wouldnt even know if you were in the right place.

Wow it’s almost like we all have our own personal opinions or something to me it’s crazy like

It's just now occurred to me how many pros go out of of their way to get their dog into parts and coverage. Too many to name. Smart PR move, there.

wework took over every single undesireable parcel in the city riding that bubble. thankfully that company imploded so they'll be back to being overinflated/unoccupied spaces soon enough.

i just looked it up and the location of autumn bowl (greenpoint) really was nuts though. even in 2010, with williamsburg as an example, everything within 5 blocks of the water was in the crosshairs of developers and completely fucked.

keep seeing diego commenting on p rod (paul rodriguez) and primitive posts, seems like he’s trying to get back in their good books.
