Luan of Nike.

[mtvic]

Maybe he will actually film a real part now?

[mareo]

És next to PJ

This. He never showed up his real potential talent, dude had one of biggest paychecks from nike to do nothing than flatground tricks. Maybe that weak last  video part wasnt reject clips.

[Shifty Flip]

Time for some Axion Luan!  Make it happen!

[Rasmus]

Luan is an enigma for me. It is super frustrating that the parts he has put out always seem like the result of a week's filming or so. But every time he appears in slides and grinds it just looks so surreal how fast and popped he can skate - he has the skills to make a part that will go down in history as one of the greats, but it doesn't seem like something he's interested in approaching.

[mclovin1336]

sounds like he doesnt have something new up his sleeve... could be the first step out of direct relevance?

[Uncle Flea]

I like luan because I heard he shit in a team mates pillow on tour. Also good form

[Uncle Flea]

I bet he's getting on FP

[GMAN]

Ignatius starting the New Year off with one of his turd-faced comments, nice.

Yes, there was a point were Luan seemed just one part away from catapulting his career into legendary status.

Misdirection, classic Ignatius.

I do remember when one of my comments was misconstrued as racist. Was definitely bummed on that - I'm still bummed on it TBH. I love so many skaters of all regions and races of the world.

I can't argue against the misogynist part, it fit the definition. I thought I was being cheeky and it was just douchey.

Get a room you two lovebirds

[elbarto]

Ahh damn. Since Nike stopped producing Janoski shoes, I haven’t spent a penny for Nike products.

I don’t understand what they were thinking. Huge dealbreaker for me.

Yea I think Luan stopped putting footage out around the same time heyo!

[keepthefunkalive]

Hope it is OUS his main shop over in brazil seems to push em  it would be dope to see it branch out 
that would be a OG move for brazil but lets be real money comes in bags from the big 3

I would be down as hell. They seem to only be sold second-hand in the US and I want to try a pair

[Fongstarr.]

Definitely give them a A for effort. But they suffer the same issue as Lakai with just a really bad logo. It also looks like an Andy Jenkins design.

[tadej Pog]

Leticia is the next

[brucewillis]

He's fine. Has a skateshop here in Brazil and all.

well, I tried to be diplomatic... some people are fans of his and for them he will likely stay relevant

[sle_epy]

First notable pro on Tesla would be sick but he'd need more street footy and slightly baggier pants to fit the vibe. I'd like to see Tesla come to the US so maybe it'd be a channel for that becoming a reality. I think ppl in the US would prob cop his shoes.

He tagged Rodrigo Texas in his story today. Luan on three stripes confirmed

it's pretty clear tho : Luan likes to skate skateparks and (sometimes) plazas which make up for fine instagram clips but boring parts. he is like a gymnast, comfortable in a gymnasium going over the same obstacles over and over, not interested in throwing himself over 20 stairs rails. As a result he's able to produce a lot of instagram clips and perform well in contests while limiting possible body damage, i think it's worked pretty well for him these past 10 years

Rodrigo Texas

[Steely Daniel]

It's funny how Rodrigo's last name got shortened to TX as unpronounceable to the general skateboarding public despite being a big name in the game. Yet in boxing, there's a C+/B level fighter like Patrick Teixeira which every random meathead wannabe boxing pundit could easily pronounce yet he was devoid of any fighting alias which is all too common in the hurt game. I thought skateboarding was a more international and accepting thing but who knows? Maybe not. Just a stupid drunken thought. Ignore me.

/edit I forgot to mention the boxer's lack of nickname and despite being an actual "sport" (more of a business really)  boxing is very nationalistic and still extremely racist and narrow-minded sport. Believe me, I frequent a high-traffic boxing forum too and it's not pretty...

there’s also Mark Teixiera, who played 1B for the New York Yankees, and the media handled his name just fine

Rodrigo TX is a boss nickname, very recognizable. I think at the time there were other Brazilian Rodrigos in skating so he couldn't go by first name basis like Luan and Tiago have since done, the football star way.
