Lovely little clip. Boards look nifty in his story. Big fan of Terpening. Flipper song too. Well done.

I thought he stopped skateboarding because he was over it.

Not exactly the motivation I’d expect to support a brand but time will tell, logo is cool.

terp would have been a cool addition to heated wheel or something, why bother with swim?

Kinda pointless and whatever but I’m sure it’ll do well and then not and then go away and then people will ask what happened when no one wanted to support it anymore but anyway

I think that’s the most footage he’s put out in the last 10 years?

heated wheel? Swim? These are companies? Terp has done so little in the last decade plus I still think of him as a new guy even though he came on the scene in what…2007?

yeah that was gnarly, and that back tail stall on the ledge outside the bowl was sick too

these boards look insanely long though, 20 inch wheelbases?

When starting a new board company in an over saturated market, it’s sink or swim.

Tom Pearl · « **Reply #11 on:** March 18, 2023, 07:12:50 AM »

someone who isn't me will most certainly buy these boards

snowman600 · « **Reply #12 on:** March 18, 2023, 07:35:39 AM »

It's probably meant to be a small local homie brand for Terp and his lil friends, live and let live.

Thank god another washed up pro started a board company. I still don’t get the hype of this dude. Slap would have me believe he’s the second coming of Gino or some bullshit

a terp comeback - or even just seeing that he's skating again - is rad, he always looked good on a skateboard and had a nice, tasteful trick selection. people really underplay how much of an impact he had on 2010 trends

Well said. I’m looking forward to supporting this. His FA photo board was neat as it had a squared nose. I also remember being into to Hufs because of him. To an extent his skating & time in skating was a flash in the pan but it’s one that matters to me.

This looks fun.

Interested to see the boards.

TableClearer · « **Reply #17 on:** March 19, 2023, 03:57:30 PM »

Curious to see how it pans out, none the less!

Yeah so sick. Would love to see a kick flip out with that - even on the stalls.

I feel like he makes more sense as the head of a small local Ohio company, so good for him.

shannamal · « **Reply #20 on:** March 19, 2023, 06:22:02 PM »

honestly, if he treats it as a little art project, i get it. no harm no foul, let the man cook

Looks like he moved back home, skates for fun, and bought a heat transfer machine to make some runs of boards.

Don’t know why anyone would hate on that, looks like he figured a best case scenario for himself

Skated with him the other day, boards look amazing
