Cher pro for There

[Lowcalcium]

I wonder what happened at Glue for her to leave a brand she helped started

Congrats to Cher!

I guess the Glue just couldn’t stay together

[ProfessorJSS]

That’s a big loss for Glue. I think her and Stephen mostly made that brand cool. Board is sweet tho.

very nice!

sucks that glue seems to be dead in the water tho :/

damn, ok. sorry, this thread made it sound like everyone left and i didn't check. also i tried to find glue boards over here and hadn't had any luck so far and last time i checked their site it was the same from launch. i appreciate the update and want to backpedal on my previous post.

also i remember watching that vid, it was really good. totally forgot about it tho cause i'm senile as fuck. yeah kinda sounded like glue had problems still, but glad it's alright then.

All good! I think the only two people who quit are Cher, who, in their short career, already quit CONS, working at Supreme and now Glue, and Sully Cormier who was hit up by Andrew Reynolds a day after getting on Glue to get on Baker.

There is really like the Real. Having a deep roster and turning everyone pro.

Except everyone on real actually shreds

Say less bro. Say less as in shut the fuck up.

Stoked for Cher! I think she was pretty pivotal to starting up Unity and getting their name out, so it feels right that she's right back there with There.

[EXTRA SPICY]

I guess the Glue didn’t stick?


…I’ll see myself out… out the door to go cop this graphic. Hot fire!!!
Big ups to Cher/There. I’m hyped for the next.

[elbarto]

Pretty 80% sure I just saw Leo Baker at See See coffee in Portland and they smiled at me:) congrats to Cher, gets me stoked to go skate.

"So it feels right that Cher is right back with There"

She has a name it seems a little dehumanizing to call somebody "there"

Nobody called her "there" dipshit. They said "Stoked for Cher! I think she was pretty pivotal to starting up Unity and getting their name out, so it feels right that she's right back there with There."

Cool board and shape

[Mike Oxwelling]

That graphic is sick! 

Didn't know Cooper was on Glue!  Ripper!

Part of me is disappointed Cher didnt appear in Ruining Skateboarding or Wick and Spit, and part of me is curious what happened with Leo and Stephen to break things off after such a promising start, but just happy Cher and There is a thing now.  Need some new footy and the dimensions of that shaped board asap!

[close]

Maybe Cher was prioritizing music over skating and got the boot from Glue?  Seems plausible based on how her insta is mostly band tour photos and barely any skating.  Could be that Leo didn’t want to push Cher without clips to back it up, whereas There may not care as much and just wants to sell boards with her name on them?

cher posted something on instagram a few days ago about getting back on board after injury. if i remember correctly, it was a knee injury, so taking like 9 months off to heal makes total sense. she just has a wide swath of interests, so it probably just looks like she’s prioritizing music bc she isn’t just endlessly posting about rehabbing the injury

[Frank]

dims on that board sound pretty sick. i dont skate shaped decks but i have a surplus set of 8.5 indys that need some wood to hang on to

[natenola forever]

I'm sure the check from a DLX company is better than whatever GLUE was giving her, I could see her having been on a wishlist for DLX cuz she's arguably the most marketable and popular queer skater.

[The real veganshawn]

Congratulations to her, will grab a board

For whatever little it’s worth, I’ve been party to two different conversations from trans and femme skaters talking about their difficulty in dealing with Leo Baker.

I've never heard anything bad about Leo Baker can you pontificate on this?

This is probably it. When vans did  that colorway she couldn’t even get a few new clips and it was all clips from that supreme video. Good for her but someone should remind her to be a skateboarder you have to actually skate occasionally.

Yeah I think this is just a misunderstanding! I was just referring to There as a brand/team.

In other news, Cher's new board dropped on There's website with Chandler's new pro model too. There's only four new decks in total but they all have the sickest graphics. Definitely would cop one if my current There deck wears out anytime soon.

It’s her knee not a lack of interest

Also vans promotes musicians as well as skateboarders nowadays

This is what I assumed, especially given her injury history, but didnt want to speculate

[LebowskisRug]

Someone doesn't have to be the outright "best" (whatever that means) skater to be sponsored and promoted. They're basically a way to represent and market a brand. Otherwise the most lucrative sponsorships would just go to the exact placings of every competition.
