you think the FA team votes who gets in like antihero does? bc idk if elijah would be down for Jake since, you know, he's super tight with austyn and stuff

He said that's how it works in an interview: "Anyone who gets on is voted on. Each pro votes yes or no. The whole thing is a democracy and pretty much outta my hands." https://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/the-search-for-the-perfect-am/

[close]

Wow that’s really interesting. Deadass never would’ve thought FA was like that, I def thought it was a dictatorship run by Dill. I guess Austyn not being voted on is a plausible theory

[close]

Austyn cleared this on his recent “out there”. Basically, Dill’s third brand, which was gonna be headed by austyn, didn’t come through bc of bad timing from both parties.

@The Mexican Nancy Chin - yea just read that rn thanks, but that was 3 years ago and nakel isn’t the “leader of the team” at FA anymore calling the shots who gets on
Funny how dill had that same role on the latter years of AWS and dipped to do his own thing just like nakel with king

Not sure if I missed a thread on Austyn's 'Out There', but even so it deserves a second recognition for how utterly WACK that shit was. "Dylan was my best friend and he died but we're doing this event and also let me transition harshly to myself jerking off about how cool I also am"

Yeah, so this is a video edited by Thrasher… Austyn doesn’t reminisce about his deceased friend and then immediately choke the chicken. I’ll give you that the man is pretty tooly, but I’m glad Dylan’s memory is being carried on by more than just a baby in a suit FA board and buff Berle jamming himself into Dylan’s clothes, doing impossibles 5 times a part.

Is it really masturbatory if some people with cameras ask you about it?

I would buy that board tho

Me too. But then imagine it in chrome. Then imagine it on the cover of some Bible a skeleton is holding.

[Bigfoot is real]

Hate to say it, but skate mental's art direction is aimless and they also have terrible wood.

but the team is stacked.

i always liked dan plunkett

The graphics aren’t the best. There have been some half decent ones, but yeah I agree. But I have had a few boards of there years back and I liked them.

[shannamal]

why does everyone always assume that people want to run their own company? it's hard as hell, and 99% of brands created fail.

[WorldsbestWeedsm0ker]

Huh? Skate mental has the best graphics and cohesive art direction out of any brand ever ! Not just I’m skateboarding

[manysnakes]

Why wouldn't you want to cram another useless brand into a completely saturated marketplace which operates on razor thin margins? Seems to me like a winning proposition!

[modern life is war]

That jack curtin 'beef curtins' graphic is truly something else...

[swellbowed]

This is my favorite SM graphic without a doubt

yeah man, fuck fundraising

[WorldsbestWeedsm0ker]

Jake Anderson is growing on me I must say - hope they stay on skate mental and bang us all over the head with a dope full length as beef curtain digressed in his bunt interview.

[Mr. Kamikazi]

Had two of these when they came out along with the Matt Beach Ewok doing a tre flip board.

They use BBS.

Skate mentals art direction should be a coarse at Pratt

I'll believe this the day I see that nollie tre over the hydrant

Prostitution is illegal, but pornography isn't. If someone is paid for sex, it better be filmed or else..

If I could get endless Raymond's Pizza and Russian River beer, I would never leave the house Tab Soda built.

[DannyDee]

Yeah, I think tons of guys have thought about it but then decided they rather not deal with it. I believe that's why Apples didn't decide to create something at Kayo with Kalis, and Koston/Guy who always had the name stature to easily create a brand didn't really do it until they got into some sort of financial dispute with Crail leading to both of them leaving (I believe Koston is on record saying he never thought he'd ever leave Girl).

Mmm don’t know if they were ever showcasing kids from the slums.   Cherry was about giving the underseen city kids a spotlight.   I guess you’re talking about Tyshawn as a slum dweller, which seems….gross.   But since then they’ve added Gino, Elijah, and Touzery, so it’s not like this some recent trend.   It’s more like treating Louie like Lebron and hoping he’ll stick around if you hire his friends

it was a joke & it wasnt intended to sound that way, i’m saying that’s the image that dill is going for or was by the things he says. i don’t think any of them are from the slums, i just meant dill calling them his children & all of that is him creating a narrative that they don’t come from much in order to be edgy. how is that analogy grosser than a brand called “dirty ghetto kids” or anything like that & isnt tyshawn coming from nothing to be so successful apart of his whole story?

i bolded the analogy about Louie getting the Lebron treatment if Curren and JA join FA, and I genuinely think it's a decent analogy lol. i was only referring to that final sentence tho. sorry for the miscommunication my friend
