Deshawn on King Skateboards

[baker3G]

Just speculating, but it would make sense.

Toy Machine to King is probably a lateral move as far as his paycheck.

we need a Dashawn of Toy Machine thread first my guy

[hotstudios_on_youtube]

I haven't even seen disorder in any skate shops, there's no way king is distributed as widely as toy machine at this time

[swellbowed]

If you're going to start a thread speculating on this, spell his name correctly and mention how he was skating a blank board in his last IG post

I feel like this was discussed in another thread, but for the life of me I can't remember which one. Regardless, people who are on a company and have a pro model out on said company, don't just randomly start riding blanks. Something must be in the mix.

Doesn't feel like it but he's been on Toy Machine for 2 years and hasn't really done anything with the company outside his introduction part.

I'd say it's more likely than not he's jumped ship. Skating blanks without Toy stickers and the fact that Toy took him off their IG story highlights thing (they did the same to Provost and Blake Carpenter before they were officially of) is some Pepe Silvia dot connecting but it's what I'm running with.

He always seemed like a weird fit for Toy Machine. Their weird graphics don’t go with his laidback image. He should ride for a more subdued brand.

Who is Deshawn?

If Dashawn chose king over primitive I would be concerned for his mental health. There's no way tyshawn could afford to pay dashawn from kings sales. Plus thats one too many "shawns" for a single team.

Testing out shapes is a lot quicker on a blank than having a graphic put on it.

Thanks for starting an unnecessary thread about this and presenting it as fact in the title when really it's just an idea you had

[KGB]

I doubt anybody new is going to King. They’re just trying to figure out what terrible graphic to use next. No output, the “king” has already fallen.

[Kombuch-A-Holic]

If only I would have said this months ago. Not King tho. That's a bit... far fetched.

Ahhh, I'm starting to put it all together now: the blank deck is because he shaved the graphics clean of the thing.
The marketing dept. over at Wahl's is genius! Just look how they've got us speculating about their man: we're all over here speculating & checking his insta for clues, meanwhile their manscaper's getting tons of views.
GENIUS, I tell you!!!

Weird fit for Toy
Weird fit for Business & COmpany
Weird fit for Sovrn

He kinda just needs to be a more elite team like Baker or Primitive.

That would be a very odd fit.

Hahaha 🤣 you think his debut graphic will be his smooth and chiseled chest? Might have to buy one if so!

Don't worry about rep man that shit is meaningless. Some of the dudes with the best opinions on here have their reps in the shitter and some of the dudes with the most fucked and useless opinions have very high reps. If anything a negative rep means you're willing to stand up against and defy some of the stupid shit said on this forum.

With that said I feel like Dashawn is more of a Primitive or April kind of guy than a King kind of guy. Also I was under the impression that he has been of Toy for a while now, he never really fit their aesthetic anyways.
