FA has the best board graphics.

All them shits are straight up master pieces.

If FA fucked up id be the first to say it.

Idk why anyone would be  thinking so hard about the team and what not.

 I also don’t know why y’all cling on to skateboarding culture so hard and have Karenesque takes. Terrible…

I won't say that the graphics are masterpieces or anything, but this picture of KB's pro model does not refute the claim that the graphics are works of art.

Even if you don't like this collage graphic, it took a long ass time to make. Cutting out all those pictures of KB then organizing them like this? That takes time and skill and at least a little bit of artistry.

Compare that with computer graphics used to make even shittier product... I would still call Dill an artist with a clear aesthetic, even if it was ripped off from Dash Snow

Weren’t Dill and Dash Snow friends? I seem to recall a video or article saying it was an homage, not a rip off

Yeah they all hung out in NYC doing coke off each other's dicks. Gang included Leo Fitzpatrick, Kunle Martins and I can't remember who else.

Dill can label it homage all he wants. It's directly inspired from Dash's art. I guess you could argue that it's a gift to have Dill continuing Dash's art on skateboards today.

Either way, I typically dig the FA/Hockey art direction. But my opinion is that it's Dill doing Dash
If my rep is ever an even number, please kindly throw me either a kook or a gnar in order to return me to my odd number equilibrium.

If Austyn Gillette, Jake Anderson and Mason Silva had have started "Funeral" with FA, that shit would be popping off with Mason being SOTY, Jake Anderson probably being the best skater alive and Austyn Gilletes current renaissance. Instead they lost Tyshawn and none of the original Cherry kids skate anymore and they only have Dylan lite to hold down the ship.

Whose head should roll over at FA corp? Dill, Ave or the guy that does Hockey?

FA has the best shapes by far.

I just can’t justify dropping $75-80 regular price for a deck. I think they won a lot of people over with that $30 sale.

I’m basically FA flow for the next two years.
This is not my SOTY. I'm telling my kids there was no SOTY for 2021

Not necessarily defending dill if you don’t like his art but Dash Snow is really only remembered so fondly on a large scale because of his death. He was an intensely rich kid and his “work” is largely derivative of whoever he was hanging out with at that moment. From his obvious influence from Earsnot/Irak on almost none of what he did was all that original including his collages. It could even be argued that the switch in his work and the time they started hanging would indicate Dash was either influenced by Dill or it’s an Dylan/Austyn scenario. Snows stuff was largely panned while he was alive for being a wealthy person stealing ideas for authenticity and for being more of a socialite than an artist. This is of course with all due respect to his struggles and his passing.

There’s an interview on YouTube where Alex Olson seems to insinuate that Dylan would have lived longer if he was a vegetarian. Pretty cool if you ask me

I could be wrong but I think I read somewhere that the shoe sales were only making about 3% of their total sales so they scrapped the program and focused back on clothes.

Well Mason got kicked off Former so....
Blessing in disguise there. Dane R is a goat level surfer but man he passes off as a crybaby out of the water. Even the brandname itself screams butthurt sookie. Dude lives the most privileged of privileged lives and still seems to have an axe to grind. Could be wrong. Someone mentioned the Former product descriptions read like they were ChatGPT, I say the products themselves look like ChatGPT designed them, not original, not edgy, just another rag. Much like anything coming out of FA. AVE should be on Metal or something.

I can definitely see that. I got most of my information from the Dash documentary "Moments Like This Never Last" so the people featured in that had more fond / positive things to say about Dash.

i think the irony of former is that it probably appeals to the exact type of person gillette hates.

it's great he's on habitat though, they should try doing a serious end of the year film project with AWS and it might be a great video,

Atleast few years ago it was more of a rule than exception at FA that not every pro had a board for every season.
Lately I havent been paying attention to know if it still a thing or not.

that 032c interview was actually pretty insightful. Suing the city of atlanta for 2 million because a cop was driving like an ass and shattered his tibia is nuts.
