In the wake of all the dwindle cuts. Darkstar and blind didn’t seem to have any drama. I wonder if they are just more profitable or if their contracts are up later in the year.

Anyway good for him. I hope he can at least quit FedEx now

I have so many questions.

•Why scuttle enjoi, only to add more pros (& cost?) elsewhere under the Dwindle tent?
•Is Darkstar being spared because of their existing sales network of large scale sporting goods & toy store chains, whereas enjoi was more of a skateshop type of brand w/ less volume?
•Is it awkward being turned pro in a chain restaurant? Would Applebees or an Outback Steakhouse be more or less so?
•Does you think this guy feels bad about going pro when so many of his fellow “independent contractors” were just axed by the same Corp?
•Having just turned pro for Darkstar, is this dude’s hopes for a financially productive skating career basically over now?
•Has anybody with some smarts counseled this guy to hang onto that FedEx job as his main gig?
And finally…
•Who?!?

yo I’m happy for you or also I’m sorry that happened

Dwindle already had berdis decks in the catalog under “new pro” . I assume this decision was made way before. My guess is contracts are up at a different time. Blind did drop Cody Mac, Jordan Maxham, and TJ late last year, then everyone told them dropping TJ was dumb. TJ isn’t on the site, but I think he did resolve

Still currently darkstar has the biggest pro roster on a dwindle brand.

he skates for autobahn? didnt know they were still a thing. he had 97a wheels, anyone tested them?

HaveFunSkateboarding · « **Reply #13 on:** February 05, 2023, 12:24:45 PM »

He’s from Erie, Pa (I’m from the Pittsburgh area). So, us skaters from the area obviously know who he is and have always rooted for him. He rips and skates/works hard. His trick selection might not be everyone’s cup of tea but he’s talented and fits Darkstar like a glove.

Working f/t while being pro for Darkstar really isn’t a bad deal. Good for him.

He really put the hurtis on that warehouse skatepark.

SneakySecrets · « **Reply #20 on:** February 05, 2023, 06:03:13 PM »

A world in which Mike Berdis isn’t pro for Darkstar is now unrecognizable to me. The truth is now locked in, may I kiss you?

this was fucking hilarious

also, this dude was termed the king of fake steeze however many years ago by the now-defunct account, it is pretty funny that he ended up pro for darkstar. i wouldn't say he was a complete nobody, at least for the many ppl that followed the fakesteeze account
