Are any of you guys planning on buying these skateboards? Just curious.

Does anyone know what woodshop they use either?

If they was on sale. Yes, contingent  If the art department was better and didn’t do the blatant copy paste. I wasn’t aware when I first saw the graphic. I was stoked it was gonna be like geared towards black history. I say that as an old white guy. But it would be a cool concept. Even though the first graphic got into heated debates on slap. If they would have an artist do a depiction on mansa musa and that would of been cool.

But I don’t think TJ is as great of a business guy as most of slap does. He needs to hire an artist and have a direction and I don’t think he does.

I don’t think he’s a great business guy.   He invested in/opened  a restaurant.  That’s like no-no #1

Restaurant is for his mother, she runs it.

It’s great to look out for your mom like that, but objectively speaking: Pouring money in business for family and friends is actually no-no #1.  Restaurants are #2.   I think the NFL literally has guest speakers talk to rookies about that topic

[ungzilla]

u know there are like a trillion restaurants right

[Atiba Applebum]

Yeah and they have razor-thin profit margins which is why they’re allowed to pay their staff below minimum wage with the expectation that it will be made up in tips.   

Ask DeNiro how he felt about his restaurant investments during the pandemic.

Wow, that's pretty nuts and makes a lot of sense.

It's always bewildering how many people think that they can "just open a restaurant".

I wonder if TJ's spot is self-sustaining yet.

Caveat - opening up a fast food franchise location is NOT what I’m talking about

[quackquack]

Kinda funny that even fast food chains aren't a great investment right now.

Their prices are on par with a regular place in my area now and they can't attract workers, even with a 20/h wage.

[Uncle Flea]

I don't think giving your mom a restaurant is bad. I would uld do it for my mom.

My mom's smart AF. She knows when to fold and flip. Total survivor.

I love my mom over all other on earth. If I wasn't a bummy ass old lunatic skater I'd give her all her hopes and dreams.

Hooking up your mom's dream is very soty type behavior.

[quackquack]

Agreed that hooking up moms is the dream.

Literally just got off the phone with De Niro. He said Atiba Applebum doesn’t know what the fuck he is talking about and to stop referencing guest speakers in the NFL and aging actors as examples when it comes to investing money.

pure speculation but it’s possible that even if it operates at a loss he can just fold it into his taxes. I’m not in the industry but pros all get paid as contractors right, nobody gets healthcare (except powell?)

Anyone who actually pays almost $50 (including shipping) for these...

Not to mention … his underwear brand "brick" that legit looks like gag gift boxer briefs that are 40 dollars for a two pack.

If you don’t have pictures of money on your briefs, how is a lady supposed to know that you like money? 

But…

If you like money so much, why do you keep trading yours for briefs?  Id like a pair of briefs with a picture of a nice comfy bed, with a bedside table with a nice glass of water on it.  Im about that shit for sure.

Underwear as vision board

People keep talking about all these pro skaters' businesses like the skaters expect to be starting the next Amazon and will not just exist as an elaborate legal tax shelter.

Is the name a reference to the Ben folds song?  Obviously a lot of parallels between Nak and TJs relationship and the lyrics, but I guess it could be something else.
