Good for him! He’s underrated and deserves a check.

Has any brand crumbled as fast as SM??
Popwar/Populus :), Rasa Libre any Mike V company prior to Street Plant...  and on that note glad he's back on!

I sort of wish Wade was back on too. I always felt him Primitive was sort of odd.

is anyone still on Skate Mental at this point? off the top of my head, Antonio, Koston, Plunkett, Jake and Curren, and now Jack have all left recently. Was that dude Giorgi on at some point? Adrian Del Campo?

I actually love him on Primitive. It's gotta be a top-selling company and all of the riders are relevant.

DGK has always seemed a little cheezy to me tho. Lenny Rivas being a gangster didn't make his grip tape tags any cooler
Oh, the places you'll go.

Populis / Popwar lasted at least 3 years, maybe 5. At one point they had a stacked team for the time of Justin Strubing, Rob G, Kenny Reed, Chad Timtim, Raymond Molinar and Scott Kane (briefly before they tanked I think).

SkateMental didn’t really fall that fast. They’ve been around since around 07/08, right? 17ish years is a decent run. They were never the top brand, or even totally relevant but they had their moments.

It was more weird that Jack went to SM in the first place

More so referring to the fact SM had a stacked team 9 months ago and was filming for a full length. One card fell and the house crumbled. Would have been hyped for that full length personally.
flat spotted 3 times in 2 weeks, other than that awesome wheels

I think this is an example where no leader sort of messed things up for Skate Mental. I remember in one of Jack's interviews, he said skating for Brad was chill and he required nothing from his riders....but then there was no team focus in going on trips to get footage as a team. I am sure there are a lot of skate teams like that out there where they just do their own thing but I am sure after a while, you just feel like you are riding for someone you don't care about. I was hoping to see Koston and Curtin skate together but oh well.

Sites been down for a bit. Staba wrote on insta that it would be back up soon with new product. How do I know this? I spend entirely too much time on the internet. Does he work for Oakley? I feel like I read that on here and saw him posting a bunch of Oakley related stuff the other day.

Imagine being a laid off Oakely designer. You're carrying your desk's belongings, which includes a signed picture with Lutzka.  On the way out, you see Staba, looking like Andy Bernard. He's sitting at his pizza stained standing desk and gives you one of those fist-over-the-chest moves in solidarity. His job title is 'theorist' and his deliverables are going to be Brad-rad.

Life's good for skateboarding's ol' Nard Dog.
Oh, the places you'll go.
