Opera Skateboards... Another new skateboard company
« on: May 29, 2023, 02:52:09 PM »
Trey Wood posted this promoting them. Logo looks pretty lazy and my expectations are low. It'll be interesting to see who else they get on the team though

A browser no one uses to a skate company no one skates.

When will this wack trend of words that have nothing to do with skateboarding being used as brand names end? If some kid who's main sponsor is monster energy is going to be the face of the brand then you know the trend is on its way out

Clay Kreiner just posted it as well. Definitely a Madness successor.

i knew quite a lot of folks who were pretty dedicated to madness (it didn't really do anything for me) - i'm sure they will be similarly dedicated to opera if it's basically the same thing

As opposed to all the brands whose names directly correlate to skateboarding? Which ones are those again?

If they make the same funky boards with all the wells and the slick inlays they should be golden.

Ha, yeah, you're right. Opera is still a wack name but... yeah. I can't argue with you while legacy brands like Alien Workshop and Toy Machine exist

I kinda agree with the original point. Fav brand is pass port but hate the name. Toy and alien are abstract enough to be best names of all time. Opera is somewhere in the middle prob a better name than madness (altho a name like madness goes well with energy drink sponsors, xgames etc)

flip, skatemafia, popwar, pop.co, speed demons and grindking are the only ones i can think of that actually have something to do with skating - and i think most people would agree those are some of the worst names we've seen.

Toy machine is literally what a skateboard is.
