Dwindle skaters on...?

[baker3G]

It's no secret Dwindle is going down fast at this point..

Curious where skaters will/should find a new home..

Clearly Dilo should go on Deathwish.

TJ Rogers on Primitive or April?

Deedz on Polar? He would be a good fit almost anywhere.

Who else ya'll think?

[TwisT]

What’s weird is that TJ and some other blind dudes just had contract/pay disputes last year which is why Cody Mac and Jordan maxham got let go.

The Santa Cruz super team is going to be huge

Damn, I most be one of the few people that like some dwindle products. I know people hate Tensors but ever since my knee surgery I've switched over to Tensors,  nice response, and I feel like they grind further. I use to hate them (remember when they had the plastic bit on the base?) Almost R7 decks last forever too.

[PatrickSkateman]

Neil Blender should grab all of them.

[Mean salto]

Sam Beckett posted "and then there were none" about everyone quitting madness but haven't seen jack fardell or any euros say anything yet.  But I'm guessing creature and Santa cruz would have to pick up at least one person each.

Wonder if this will have any effect on non dwindle dsm board brands like palace, evisen etc

[PatrickSkateman]

Or Marc Johnson should grab them for Business & Co., especially the former Enjoi riders. Perfect brand story on some “what did I tell you?” The script writes itself.

Tensor has been dead to me ever since they got rid of the little plastic bit.

Fardell is hanging on for life, Where else could he go?
Madness was solid and could see the whole brand being moved to a new distribution.
If not some to Birdhouse & Santa Cruz.

Maybe different name and art style but could see NHS making new company that's just madness 2.
Also anyone remember what madness original name was? Little bit of trivia that's breaking my brain at the minute

I think it was Mind Trip before Madness

Baked beans on toast. Not for too long, hopefully.

[manysnakes]

I think a lot of these guys will be on trade school. There are already way too many pro skaters.

[DCLOVE]

deedz, geronzi, dilo, maybe TJ and youness will find new homes. the stench of some of these brands will be hard to wash off. everyone else will start their own youtube channels

edit: oh yeah, samaria on there

Why Samaria on there? I could see her getting on a legacy brand. Honestly it would be cool to see her on krooked for some reason I guess my thinking is she was already on enjoi  which is like dwindle krooked?.

Dude, can you please just conform to what’s acceptable and not ride products that work for you? Can you just not? Don’t you understand the importance of branding and identity?

If Max geronze were smart he would have never did whatever deal he did with Almost skateboards where they build the brand off the popularity of him and his friends. He probably should have done this originally, but a mediterranean-based helas/ cliche revival board brand with all those dudes would be smart. Find some other people to run it though.

TJ will go to primitive or April, i hope.
Dilo's desire to be a pro despite having no market value is gonna force him to become the new stephen lawyer. outfits gonna get colorful this year. just my prediction.

Samaria and the rest on.... the job hunt.
Whole Foods is always hiring.

Was my first thought as well. I’m really enjoying my Evisen board.

[benboardbreaker]

My prediction is that several of the dudes will retire or get on some small obscure teams. A lot of the guys on dwindle are not top tire pros, sell many boards, marketable even though they are great skaters. Furthermore there are as far I see it packed teams on all the major brands. A few will get picked up like above mentioned, deedz, TJ Rogers etc.

I don't hate on any of the riders, just my observation.

What do SLAP think?

[Mean salto]

People still quitting

DSM wasn't part of the Dwindle sale, they no longer own it. They just pay to have their boards made there...

Dwindle orders far fewer boards, dsm raises prices, evisen suffers. Is more the type of thing I was thinking about. No effect would be pretty good.

I don’t know about this situation but thought I’d chime in that I’ve had a few evisen boards and they hold up better/last longer than any other decks I’ve have. I noticed on the last one it came from dsm/made in china.

Yeah theyve been using the dsm wood for a while now I find it to be better overall too.

Darkstar Team on Unemployment

[Lame_Nigga]

Guess their numbers are dwindling.

It’s sad to see, there’s going to be a LOT of sponsorless pros out there. Had to look up who was under their umbrella and maybe 5 people at the most are going to go elsewhere, the rest are going to have to go full time at their jobs.  Where’s Lutzka gonna go? Krooked again??

[Brad Wesley]

Brevard on Alltimers
Kreiner and Ilardi on Birdhouse
Dilo and Fardell on Heated Wheel
TJ on Thank You
Nestor on Habitat
Louie on Skate Mental
Deedz on Heroin

on a serious note, this presents a rare opportunity for some Uncool Brands with lots of budget to swoop in and entice riders who are flirting with re-entering the 9 to 5 workforce.
