I don’t really see what the problem is. Reynolds is his mentor. If he is getting an ownership stake, that would be following in the path of his mentor a la Reynolds —> Baker.

I do think it’s a mistake though. Baker has proved its longevity and ability to reinvent themselves whilst  remaining true to their history. companies like FA/Violet are quite faddish and consist of old white men cashing in on young black men’s marketability.

Baker was Blitz distro tho

Am I alone in thinking Kader joining Violet isn't the worst thing. Even if Violet turns out to be a flash in the pan, there are plenty of legendary skaters that have been on companies that didn't last. I'm also inclined to think that if he's skating with people that he's genuinely inspired by, he'll produce even more inspired footage. 

Part of me wishes he was still on Nike so he could have more
footage filmed by Johnny Wilson.

I don't think Kader moving over to Violet is all that bad. Even if Violet proves to be a flash in the pan, there have been plenty of legendary skaters who've been on companies that didn't last. I'm thinking if he skates with people that he's inspired by, then his footage will be more inspired as a result.

Do kids even like violet? What are the children into? Either way  stupid move right now with a looming recession. If he had any sense he’d stay on baker til at least his next real video part. He still hasn’t put out that “adult part” yet and the window is starting to close for him to really put out that here I am part . Maybe it’s his style being so non chalant but some of those tricks just seem too easy , like he’s just coasting till the next spliff gets rolled up. But yeah stupid move right now, stay on baker while shits rough where they can stop paying dudes like theo , Dollin, and nuge to keep you if it gets rough.  if you’re a whole teams main draw you’re up first on the chopping block when money gets tight and violet has king as its main startup brand competition and let’s be real the kids will definitely go with tyshawn over fat bills weird young black man fetish company.

Don’t think it actually was your phone though. Multiple posts from a few different people in the same 3 minute window. Check the classified events section too. All around 4:08 time.

Reynolds was starting to get annoyed with the back and forth and lackadaisical approach over the last 6 months, Kader never actually spoke to him about it. Reynolds eventually told him to quit, Kader realised he didn't want to and basically begged Reynolds to keep him, but he stood firm and made him quit.

I was wondering why all your posts were in Stereo, hoping someone would explain to
Me why the firm grip I thought I had on reality was in question mostly due to the black label placed upon my destructo tendencies. I was gonna demand you be banned as we should keep out the bad element but after seeing it was a glitch I’d be happy to give you a New Deal.

Companies like Violet and Limousine remind me of the small brands in the 90’s. So many that had a great 2-3 year run and died. The same will go for these.

Violent isn't gonna be around in 3 years. Not quite Limosine shabby but certainly can't see them lasting.

Dumb move by Kader if true
[close]

Limo shabby?? Get outta here with that shit. What other board brand puts out a legit team promo video with each board drop?

Violet’s whatever though, yeah.
[close]


Shabby isn’t the best word, but their logo and graphics are pretty meh and they appeal to a small subsection of skateboarders in comparison to Baker.

I’m a bit Limo fan and supporter, but facts be like that.

Exactly I think Extra Spicy articulated it better for me.

I like the team and want them to do well but the whole thing is kinda meh

Has anyone asked: if Kader truly goes to Violet, will he get a legit pro model?

As far as I know, they don’t put out pro models (yet), like everyone’s favorite early 90’s brands Acme and Channel One! 💩
Isn’t that one kid with the tombstone graphics and no instagram pro? Kyle something


If he really called Reynolds mumbling into the phone and quit, just to be told seconds later by a dude on violet that was a dumb decision, I’d actually beleive it considering how fried the kid is.
Maybe he knows he’s about to get some of that wild Skate4 money who knows

Violet is a tiny brand compared to Baker, who are on the wall at pretty much every skate shop in the world. Money isn't everything, but Kader probably had the best selling board on Baker and was their most relevant rider - they should have been paying so much that he wouldn't even consider leaving. I don't know the circumstances, but this feels like as big of a fumble by Baker as it does Kader. Unless there was some kind of personal conflict, I have to think they had the means to hold onto him if they really wanted to.

From the looks of their recent pick ups in ams and pros, I think Baker wanted to diversify and not bet all their money on Kader. The brand seems to promote the image that all their riders are very proud to be on baker and that certainly isn't kader. Why would you invest so much money in a kid who every six months decides hes too cool to ride or wear any of your products.

i believe this to be true.

as a basketball fan i compare Kader to Kyrie.

incredibly talented, gets cocky, burns every bridge, doesn't show up to work and ultimately pays for it because the boss got tired of his shit.
