Bro flow and semi retirement? He rips but also isn’t super productive anymore right? Might be missing something.

His parents are super wealthy. Doesn’t really have to be productive if he doesn’t want to.

So… Does this mean Blake is “Up River?”

Toy also apparently has a "never kick dudes off" rule

Up bayou

This has Skate Mental written all over it.

Where did all these Blake super fans come from? He's done two memorable tricks his whole career

Not everyone has your memory

[in love w/ fs shuvs]

Switch back three that bump to bar. He's had some nasty switch tres and flip in grind tricks over the years too. Dudes kinda out there tho.

We don't have bayous in Florida. Up swamp is more like it.

Not a super fan by any means but if you watch his parts nearly every trick is insanely hard and done very well. I don't see anyone else doing switch bs 360's over bump-to-bars

You picked one of his two memorable tricks. As did the other people who mentioned his switch 360 flip 5-0. The argument that “he’s actually really solid” is undermined by the fact that the only tricks people mention to defend him are the two I had in mind when I made my post.

he also nollie heel noseslid oceanside hubba, you’re right though. that’s super forgettable and, i’m sure if you went there right now you could do it first try. i usually enjoy your posts for the most part…

hes done a lot of memorable tricks. the game is just oversaturated. sw flip back tail muni rail is ridiculous.

Honestly the first thing that comes to mind when I think of him. He's vanilla af but the man has hammers to his name. Reminds me of Matt Berger.

yeah, some of us can't muster thinking of a single thing he's done

Only "trick" I remember is the flat earther thing

[PatrickSkateman]

Blake was definitely one of the more watchable Toy Machine alumni compared to the likes of Josh Harmony, Nick Trapasso, Austin Stephens, Matt Bennett, Jordan Taylor, or Chris Senn.

had the Vince McMahon meme reaction as I read nick, austin, jordan, and senn's name's on this list

I feel the weight of the world every time I see Chris Senn’s heinous flatground half cab flip in his Jump Off A Building Part.

Not the huge fan but no denying the guy skates at a top pro level. Also has a mean front heel.

I think that's part of the charm when it comes to Chris Senn. Weird fast pushing between tricks in lines. Half cab flips like you mentions and goes super fast. People love the Gonz kickflip as well but it's super rocket. I love and appreciate that kind of skating as well ,compared to people who skates super clean and makes the tricks perfect.

& matt b c’mon. his last few parts were great.

[Kombuch-A-Holic]

Fun fact: Blake Carpenter is not Blake Johnson. That's on me.

[work_lurker]

A little birdie told me Blake had to leave Toy in order to renew his contract with his shoe sponsor.. Apparently N*** is strongly urging him to ride for Disorder. No bullshit.

[doublesteveburger]

damn, that’s fucking c**** if true

[the canadian suit]

Nike of Tum Yeto? Dashawn Jordan?

[Monopolyman]

Maybe Nike just feels Blake’s talents are more needed over at Disorder, supporting their larger investment in Nyjah.  Dashawn has it locked down as the pro over at Toy Machine and Sinclair can have younger Nike skaters slot in without it becoming a swooshfest

Austin Stephens though

God I wish he hadn’t retired . I don’t need a full part but just him cruising around on the weekends would be enjoyable.  Be sick to see a tom k & Jordan Taylor type series but with like him and Tim Tim as stylish older guys on a weekend warrior vibe.

[DarkPools]

Free agent threads always bring out the most fucked takes every time. Black Carpenter on FA or Sci-Fi? Holy shit.

Watson reminding everyone what the fuck the deal is around here.

[backside_frontside]

I could definitely see Blake on Disorder

[yungthug]

His Daylando part is one of the standout indie VX parts of the early 2010s IMO.

So much destruction of orlando,  love that whole video

[Uncle Flea]

I’m not going to lie. I’m not really a fan of this style of skateboarding. He’s like in that MS area of good tricks boring to watch

[pdknox]

It would be sick if Nigel’s plan for disorder is to assemble the most random, uncanny, yet still ripping team of skaters, hence the name
