Budget Cuts: Who would you fire from which teams?

[rawbertson.]

Shareholders are pissed and funds are being pulled. Who would you cut first on which teams!? What teams are too bloated  ?

[goodatmeth]

Dwindle: Everybody

[cherry]

I’m going to burn down asr if Matt militano isn’t given a board asap.

[Bigfoot is real]

Nike SB:
Guy Mariano - no part since pretty sweet, sorry buddy you're cut
John Fitzgerald - we can put in a good word with Vans, but youre done here.

Adidas:
https://www.adidas.com/us/skate-team - so many random names here, some of which should be featured pros - suciu is a soty, had 2 pro models and he's in the same text clump as "Darius Trabalza"

Maite - we have nora, sorry but youre a clone and dead weight.
Jenn soto - butt style and low talent level - gtfoh
Chris Brown - forgettable and bad style, demoted to flow
Nakel - too controversial and ungrateful, gtfoh
Sunny Suljic - who are you? Where is your footage? get a job
Diego Najera - your best days are behind you and you're not OG enough to keep on payroll
Dill - you don't even skate anymore, this is a skate team not a culture vulture group therapy session PEACE We are giving your spot to richard angellides
Jack Fardell - just removed from payroll, no communication necessary

ALL of skateboarding :
Santiago sasson - you're bad at skating, have bad style and terrible trick selection. Get a job.

Who would you fire from:
Primitive
FA/Hockey
Baker/Deathwish
Nike

[Coastal Fever]

If anyone in charge at Crail had integrity they’d stop selling Carroll, Rick, KA, Crob, Jeron, Eldridge, Raven and Brophy boards.

“Oh but there’s still demand!  Their names still sell boards!”

Yeah, because you delusional gatekeeping assholes do a piss poor job of representing and promoting your currently active and ripping skaters.  Instead you provide a free meal ticket to has-beens who refuse to grow up and get real jobs like most well-adjusted adults their age.

Dip dip dip dip dip dip dip whhaaa

[fakie nollie]

Idk why but I actually feel bad contributing to this thread because those mentioned will likely see it

[Yakusoku2]

I don't even remember which pros are in which teams

[modern life is war]

Anti hero:
Brian anderson. Dude is historic obviously but doesn't really fit the brand, doesn't seem to hang with the crew and doesn't put out much footage anymore
Robbie Russo. Actually one of my favorite skaters on the team but just doesn't put out anything or ever leave channel street these days (although surprisingly he was at the p-stone cup and actually skated)

[leafman4000]

Royal fired from crailtap

[leafman4000]

Also NAK of whatever brands he is on at said hypothetical moment

[WorldsbestWeedsm0ker]

Baker
Hawk, spanky, Zach , and sully
Hawk - go to bloodwizard/ creature something
Spanky - still part of the fam but starts his own lil side thing like hammers due to his vibe getting a little too preppy bubblegum pop hipster
Zach - could see him receding too wknd, pizza, toy or foundation.
Sully - j go to Violet, Fa or carpet or something

Deathwish

Neen, foy, Hayes

Neen - should j fully transition into health influencer
Foy- go to thank you or disorder or something
Hayes - same boat as Zach

[D10S]

Wade Desprimitivo

[Tiltmode Army Reservist]

I'd kick Johan Stuckey off Valtrex and Invisalign.

[mooraga]

Guy Mariano - no part since pretty sweet, sorry buddy you're cut
John Fitzgerald - we can put in a good word with Vans, but youre done here.

He never fully convinced me but I was down that he got recognized and sponsored... but its been A LOT of years since those early days (his OIAM was 13 years ago, damn)
He's on hockey and he's simply not-that-good: he's trying it out there but his skill level its sub-par to the industry, even to his teammates

Put BA on Metal with Freddy.

[kookdusoleil]

As much as I like his style, I probably would have cut Tony Ferguson from Girl in the late 90’s.

I really didn’t like typing that out.

Fuck it, everyone should have a pro board forever

i was gonna say Girl but I figured I already knew the answer of what people would say...

[Banned from the room]

I just feel like if you ain't skating switch you don't deserve a bloard with your name on it.

Anyone who cant get onto the bench switch is cut.

It's that simple.

[cherrybomb]

Who would you fire from:
Primitive
FA/Hockey
Baker/Deathwish
Nike

Kevin Bradley instantly.

[The Mexican Nancy Chin]

Not long ago Real took a bunch of guys off the official team, stopped making their boards (if they did have one) and moved them to the "forever" section on the team page. Here's some other dudes I'd do that to:
Jake Donnelly: Has been milking it for a while now. I was very surprised they took Justin Brock, Davis, Brockel, etc. off the team but kept Jake
Jafin Garvey: Has been am for like 6 years and still hasn't put out a part. Almost no one has heard of him and he's not even that good.
Max Schaaf: I love him but the "forever" section is exactly where he belongs. He's a legacy rider who stopped producing footage a VERY long time ago. I'm actually not even sure he still skates. It's weird that dudes like Peter Ramondetta and Davis Torgerson are considered retired and are off the actual team but Max isn't

Primitive - wade and Spencer should be a part of something where they are the focus
FA/Hockey - Berle should just retire already
Baker/Deathwish -  Julian, why is deathwish getting element leftovers
Nike - Blake, daan, karsten, riberieo, shane, nyjah, oh and make wider shoes

I didn’t think I’d see a more stupid take than the one above concerning baker etc… and then you lay this shit on me? Dude, I hope you’re joking

[Baglady]

I’ll tell you who I’m not firing, Jesse Paez. Hindsight, so he doesn’t walk out of the building crying.

He had a family!
