VIOLET - William Strobeck Board Company

[white guy in a durag]

They probably used chapman for the pre-release ones. I failed to screen shot it like a man, but they put up on their story last week the dims/woodshops for each board. All BBS except for 1 PS (the lil kim graphic I think).

I don't know how this is going to go, goys! it's kind of like when NWO ruled the WCW and they gave Hulk Hogan all that backstage power... they imploded from within. Eventually. Everything Strobeck touches is very popular, but is too much of good thing, a bad thing? could be. We'll have to wait and watch.

Vice just dropped their piece/photoshoot on the brand. I enjoyed the read

Bill says. “With all the grim shit going on, I’d like to try to do something that originates from that positive place, and showcases this crew along with it. Violet will be shared ideas between all of us. If they wanted to make something that wasn’t what I would ever wear or skate, I’m not gonna be closed off about it. I’m down. I want the world to have what they come up with as well. Let’s see what happens.”

cool that it’s not only strobecks vision. we’ll see if it still turns out as another fa though.

[Mantracker]

It’s give me 917 team vibes

If the whole team leaves or half the team, will the company even stick around? If it does I’m sure it’ll be a shell of what it used to be

I hope they have success and build something cool though

I wonder if strobeck gonna put Avi Malina on, don't see baker doing anything with him.

I think Strobeck probs will be a better TM then AO. Dude lives and breathes skating while alex has boom and bust cycles. Bill might be a bit too extreme tho; i feel like some of the cherry squad got burnt out trying to keep up with him. Shit like having your face plastered all over insta is probably kind of hectic emotionally.

They’re both companies to financially back to support the riders if you actually like them. Just like any other brand. I will give them my money and my views if it puts money in seven’s, troy’s, KB’s, and Efron’s pockets because those are skaters who I think deserve it. If you don’t that’s fine. I also support maxallure bc I fuck with their output and skaters too.

[fredgallSOTY]

the violently negative reaction towards violet is funny to me so im gonna lean really hard into my love for it


maxallure is dope

Shouldn’t there have been some skate pics or pics of violet products in that article?
Cute dress. Are these clothes violet or all supreme?

[Lou Strux]

Thems jus’ the new kids doing kid things.
Bless they for it, too.
Somebody gotta carry the odd ball torch.
Violet: not that strong of a “concept” but I’m liking the strange kids, regardless.
Still not sure about Billy, but that’s just because I’m not yet certain about the number of nipples I need to see in a given edit, but I’m coming around to the BS he’s laying down.

gotta put out that one banging video and then its a legit team. until then this is just some random shit.

lemme say somethin.

the team, and 'look' of this brand have potential, no doubt.

however i wonder how this will play out for efron, as she has slowly stopped repping her shop sponsor since strobeck started filming her, even calling the shop whack. talked to the owner, she has p much been ghosting them.

no love for the shop that has had your back before you have your 15+ mins of fame?

now thats whack.

Bill and supreme are doing alot more for Efron than that shop ever could or would do.

being in the lgbtq scene in the same area as them and seeing them diss the shop that only wanted to help them is pretty fucked.

i'm all for them moving on to better things but not like this.

Yeah I just don’t think the shop did or could do much to help. She rode for them for a short period of time . if it was a skate shop that really had her back for a long time I would agree.

still, it's the principal of it. if you're just gonna clown all the people that tried to help you and act like you're too cool to even acknowledge them that's just shitty character. not like anyone gives a shit but i'm not gonna support anything they're involved in if thats how they treat those that try to help them. just comes off entitled

found the shop owners slap account

[Slikk]

loyalty can and is taken advantage of in any industry. i'm gonna assume you're young. here's some advice; hop to better that are better for you. ex. kader hopping from vans to nike to adidas.

do what you want with it. or do the total opposite. your life.

again, no problem with moving on to better opportunities. ex. westgate leaving 5boro

just sucks to see that they are the opposite of thankful.

is efron actively dissing the shop, or just acting like she doesn't know them anymore? 

[Slikk]

is efron actively dissing the shop, or just acting like she doesn't know them anymore?

from what I have observed, both. I am not trying to trash her, just pointing out it is lame to act like you're too cool now that you have different sponsors. it is possible to be cool with the people that supported you before you had a following, without shit talking them.

post the screenshots

there aren't any. this is all things i've heard in person, or talking to mutuals. i like going to this shop, the people are nice, and they do nice things for the skaters in our area.

[urbneathme]

what shop is it?

[Slikk]

So why come on here and act like she talks a lot of shit about the shop ? It seems like she doesn’t put any thought into it. Like I said before the shop didn’t really do anything for her and she was only sponsored for a short period of time. The shop doesn’t even carry half the brands she is sponsored by ( vans , melodi , violet/ anything fa supreme ). She doesn’t owe anything to that shop cause they didn’t do anything to help her get where she is today.

i like going to this shop, the people are nice, and they do nice things for the skaters in our area.

this ^. and i'm no shop rep, just someone who likes this shop and doesn't wanna see it get shit talked when everyone there has only been nice to my friends and I, theres no 'acting'. also it's not easy from what I understand to just 'get' an account with a brand, a lot of brands wont allow you to purchase select goods from them unless you buy a whole slew of stuff that you don't even want.

i don't wanna derail this thread into a specific person or place, but i said whats important. the shop is cool. doesn't deserve any hate, especially from someone who acts too good for them after being supported by them. yeah, she doesn't owe anything, but people who feel entitled typically don't feel like they owe anyone anything. also getting any kind of exposure whether its from a small shop or not is better than no exposure.

good for her for getting new 'cool' sponsors, but if she wants to keep talking badly about people and a place that (still) supports her, thats whack as fuck and people will see how paper thin your loyalty is. but hey you get supreme undies so what do i care
