a closer look at possibly the first board and i guess it confirms Kris Brown is gonna ride for it.

i guess these kids realized they would be FA/917 flow forever so hopped on this to get the bump to am and maybe even pro

terrible take lmfao

not really a take, more of an observation. whens the last time FA/Hockey put on some unknown dude? they added diego and caleb back in 2017. everyone else has been somewhat established in the industry

They just put on Joseph Campos.

that's another good Dill move, that kid has good style. reminds me of Donovan and KB a lil, shorter dude but a powerhouse.

[Wizard Fight]

I'm still hung up on there being a person named Seven.

[JimmyCarlinsJumpRope]

If the board graphics aren't just zoomed in feet and zoomed in faces, I'll be bummed.

Honestly should have called the company Zoom Skateboards

Understood, but it’s an absolute pleasure to see them skate in person. Dude kills it and has great style.

Seven Costanza

Surprised they haven't fully launched the IG account yet, secrets been out.

Hahah no way this can be true. If it’s true he’s gotta be trolling slap for making fun of his apartment pics right? Right?

[doublesteveburger]

I think the fact that it’s obese bill’s company - it’s okay that there’s a photo of his team at his apartment. Not sure how that’s weird or whatever and shit.

Seven had all the best clips in Stallion. Dude is sick

Saw this on Instagram right after reading this thread. Not particularly excited for this company but Troy is amazing.

"its violet"

truly awful branding but it looks like thats what it is

Man I just think it’s funny there’s jokes about him taking photos of juveniles in his apartment so to announce his company it’s a team photo in his apartment. It’s
Like he’s setting himself up to be made fun of but whatever. It’s just funny to me I guess

[ricky bobby]

This is cool I guess, but i'm more excited for Limosine personally.

agreed.  it's a branding thing for him just like his filming.  when you see it, you know it's him, there's absolutely no question.

Excuse my ignorance - has any other filmer succesfullly launched a board company? I see Strobecks Bravo collab still sitting on shelves heavily discounted. Does anyone really want to be associated with the guy? I mean he’s not the rockstar - he’s like a shady manager right? But the role of the filmer has changed pretty significantly recently.

The guy that does weekend

[RichardBarkley]

I think that branding is really bad

If it wasn't Strobeck or associated with FA etc... It would tank really really bad

Whatever though, I hope they do well

Off top i guess other contenders are Limousine if its really Logan Lara’s conception (confirmed?)
Gx1000 i guess
Im sure someone knows more than me but is it true that Hockey was a way for Benny Magliao to have a vision that wasnt FA but still in the same camp?
If you count Pontus as a filmmaker then polar

Branching off to other brands-
Jacob Harris with atlantic drift as a clothing brand if that counts
Theories of atlantis
Shake Junt
Sk8rats/pyramid country/etc

But it's Mickey Mantle's number.

M.T (H-Street & Plan B)... Alien Workshop (Carter / Hill)... Heck even Zero counts.

I think there's a lot of skaters that really, really want to be associated with Strobeck for about hundred reasons. But yeah sure, he needs to film with zoom because all the skaters try to avoid getting in the latest Supreme film, so he can't use fisheye.

 

[thebacker]

that is fucked up

I would actually have more respect for William if he did this

[Prinzy]

imma come in hot with a conspiracy theory that Violet is gonna poach Caleb from Hockey. No factual basis whatsoever for this claim but you all owe me a dollar if I end up being right.

after seeing that branding, just here to say i am happy i was wrong and happy you all get to keep a crispy dollar in your pocket
