Monarch Project

[Grip Jobs]

This is scary

the monarch project sacrifices a web designer to the rockefeller’s every business meeting

[lucascbn]

Gary Rogers mentioned Leticia and Sky Brown being on some website for a company called Monarch Project (another shitty company name IMO). I just did a quick bit of Googling and found that the brand is registered as being owned by Highline Industries Corporation, which seems to owned by Bravo Sports. According to Bravo's website, "Highline Industries is a manufacturer of higher-end Skateboards and Helmets." Highline seems to own Sector9, Protec, Nutcase Helmets and Sixsixone Protection (whoever the fuck they are).

The trademark for Monarch Project covers "skateboards; skateboard decks; skateboard wheels; skateboard trucks; ball bearings for skateboards; skateboard grip tape; skateboard bags; skateboarding gloves; protective padding for skateboarding; athletic protective knee pads for skateboarding; athletic protective elbow pads for skateboarding; athletic protective arm pads for skateboarding; athletic protective wrist pads for skateboarding."

Kinda weird that this new brand is under Highline when Bravo also owns Dwindle. I guess the guys over at Dwindle didn't want any part of this so its with the helmets and longboards.

Do you Pals think this is being set up to cash-in on the Olympics?

congrats on the research

Leticia is trans?

Clown the company all you want but mocking a 12 year old girls appearance and making transphobic comments about Leticia makes you look like a real piece of shit

This is scary

You’re trash simple as that.

[veritas]

How many Olympic pros are getting their own generic cookie cutter brands to be the star pro on? Besides nyjah

[manysnakes]

I remember reading for the Olympics skaters can use products that have been in the market 6 months prior to the event. If this is all new recently how can they use it if it's not even in the market?

I don’t know how the Olympic skateboarding rules work, but in sports like tennis and cycling, these rules usually apply to new technologies, not just a new brand name on an existing product.

He works for Johnny Bravo

Based on her voice in the Trojan ad her transformation is almost complete.

Dr. Mrs. The Monarch is such a babe. And, as long as you were on her good side, I bet she'd be great company and have all sorts of smart/interesting shit to say. She deserves way better than the Monarch or Phantom Limb.

Dr. Mrs. The Monarch >>> Leticia.

[John Kreese]

Got kicked off Plan B, couldn't seal the deal with Element, so why not start another brand? Board manufacturers are still struggling to keep up with current companies. Too bad she didn't go to Meow.

[HugeBodBoyle]

Monarch like a queen?

Like a butterfly?

Like the dude from Venture Bros?

Like the company that chills with Godzillas?

A ton of potential here to define themselves in ways that I will not really be interested in because this type of skateboarding is not for me. Which is fine. Maybe some others (people that identify as jock girls?) will be into it.

Monarch could be a sick name for a company with good art direction, team and branding.

[NORTHBYMIDWEST]

Leticia rips, the fact that she can’t get a non-cringe inducing sponsor is very puzzling.

something like Darkstar

[shannamal]

the only monarch i recognize

I imagine her personality and image have a lot to with it. Her and Sheckler/Jagger strike me as two sides of the same coin: Talented but mainstream jocks who really belong in a traditional sport where winning, money, and bro culture are highly valued.

It is interesting that few of the Olympic skaters have legit board sponsors, but it also makes sense cause who would ever want to go on tour with Jagger? I wouldn't even want have lunch with him, let alone be stuck on a trip with him for three weeks. Same for Leticia, past the superficial is anything about her cool?

Not to mention, her image wouldn't really fit with Real, Polar, or a brand that matters.

the only monarch i recognize

Great for mowing

[Donkey Lips]

A BBQ essential.

There is always one person that has to turn every subject into a CIA conspiracy theory. Go outside dude.

I know, RIGHT?!? You just know that Jagger kid is gonna insist on going to Chipotle to cash in on that sponsorship. Even if dude offers to buy, I’m going to take a hard pass on that one, regardless of his personality.

Well sounds like we’re in luck because I think that’s exactly what we’ve got. 

That Thrasher ad was next level.  Surely you wouldn’t deny that, Bruce.

No, bro… you just don’t understand!!! The bearings (as well as the REST of the set up have to be broken in. The recommended technique is soak the bearings in gasoline (no need to remove them from the wheels, just leave them right where they are. Next, simply apply a flame, or ignition source, and VOILA!  You’re all set to begin enjoying your new Heart Supply complete!

It really demonstrates just how little money there must be in board sales that so many of skateboarding's marquee talent can't even be fucked with. Must be some perverse incentives us plebs are unaware of.

[KGB]

Leticia rips open so many condoms, the fact that she can’t get a non-cringe inducing sponsor is very puzzling.

[matty_c]

I think it’s just like what she wants to do?
Like you know how those primetime sort of tier skaters often do their own stuff to make more money, she’s probably got like a stake in it or something?

Like, these people aren’t stupid they have managers and stuff if they wanted to wear clothes we think are cool and like do a big push to get on a diff company they probably would? Idk just thoughts

[cky enthusiast]

i think it’s funny to accuse competitive skateboarding of “bro culture” when they have had 0 proven sexual misconduct allegations. core skating cannot say the same. i think you dudes with baggy pants and 35mm cameras need to do some self exam.

I see where you’re going here, but before you head too far on down that road, may I ask if you are familiar with the Nyjahgate incident?

[cky enthusiast]

if you can find me an accuser i’ll be more than happy to change 0 to 1- still a lot less than the side of the industry still reissuing gator boards

It’s not my job to find accusers. My job is to show up on these bloards, post stupid thoughts, & be an irritating dipshit.
Clearly, my work here is done, good sir, or madam; I shall now take my leave.
