Wonder if enjoi sold more of those baggy pants they made than boards in the last year. Loved enjoi when I was a kid but they might as well call it.

IIRC he's had a career outside of skating for quite awhile now. Wonder if he's retiring and focusing on that going forward.

Who had the more forgettable long term stint, Zack or Ryan Bobier?

kinda wild people are talking about Zach Wallin like he's some kind of chump.  dude rules.  whatever is going on with Enjoi sucks; sounds like they're circling the drain.

I mean outside of a shared part in Duets (pretty forgettable video as a whole), his last full part would've been....Oververt?

Didn't he have a full or mostly dominant section in a proper Dickies video? He's also regularly had footage for NB#, OJ, and Indy tour/mini videos if my memory isn't fried.

I liked Zack. Hope a new Enjoi vid comes out to silence you guys. I like the new guys a lot/ Deedz.

This departure makes sense tho. Zach been working a real job like most dudes and it probably became a thing where he couldn’t do both.

Ah! Yes, he did. Had blocked out that part due to the sinful nature of Joe Face re-using one of the most obvious songs.

I’m the worst type of enjoi fan, I think all their content is amazing, but only ever purchased one board and hated it.
BOS is top 5 vids ever though

they're under dwindle, and in my experience boards from dwindle brands tend to be a bit on the shit side.

maybe they're not even all the same wood and that's just my perception.

but yeah, the one enjoi i had was maybe the least i've ever liked a board aside from maybe cut-price blanks.

I had an Enjoi board with carbon fiber plates on the both the top and bottom. "Impact Plus" I think. Shit was great. Day one pop after like 4 months, all chipped to fuck. I don't see them for sale anymore. Shame. Was a good sale buy for ~50€/$

Zack Wallin kickflipped a proper street in Oakland once. One of the better kickflips I can remember. Top 30 all time maybe.

Wallin is a beast and does construction or did. Which makes him far more respectable in my eyes that he still skates after hard work. Like kanfoush.

Edit. Also R7 decks are great. Last longer and stay crispy and pop lasts long. I’d say quality is as good or better than bbs. Just depends if there’s a shape you like and the companies are less cool.

I really like Zack Wallin but definately him.

Bobier its from another era full of forgotten heroes, If you recall he had an almost a perfect old-school-skate-career and rode to sunset like a champ; had a first part as a grom on a serious video, grew up sponsored, produced decent parts for his board sponsors and lived under the blackbox umbrella on its heyday (which was awesome for a few years). Maybe he wasn't the more influencial dude but played the game for some solid 15 years.

On other hand, Zack had a solid come up but his skating depended on hucking and huge long gaps, something you can do for a few years but eventually you'll find your limits. Even I was a fan of this dude, I forgot about him as time went by.

I heard about Wallin and Deedz leaving a couple weeks ago. If Louie is leaving to start a new brand, like someone said above, I could see those 2 being the first ones on.

I had the thought, was he ever really on? Like he's been around, but has almost permanently been flying under the radar..
I did like what I saw though..
