I think Opera is rad. They’re making transition skating interesting again. And their graphic treatments are awesome. I’m a big fan.

(Not that anyone gives a shit but I thought I’d chime in.)

I liked Madness so if Opera is the same vibe I’m down for it. I really like Sam Beckett’s part from FreeSkateMag.

Should be like Oprah’s book club stickers these companys puts on their boards.

Other than something like AH, what board co would sponsor a skater like Kieran? He was already on SC, so i don't think creature would put him on, or if that would even work.

Think he's getting a little old for going the Toy Machine/Olympics play, but maybe. They could use a solid contender in the men's park

Element and Tom Schaar? Eh.. could see it..

Kinda comes down to a those, Blood Wizard... or Opera? Tomato, tomato...

He’s a perfect fit on Opera, and I don’t mean that as an insult or compliment.  Really good well rounded skater, just lacks the cool factor or marketability to be on a more popular brand.

I don’t get him on Asics at all though.  They’re mostly a bunch of eclectic/artsy/creative type skaters, then it’s like “oi mate ya reckon I should smith a 20 or do a bowl transfa for me next clip”.

Anyone know if the Opera decks are R7 epoxy, like the old Madness/dwindle decks? I loved how stiff the boards were.

Yes, they are. There is essentially no difference in the transitions from Madness to Opera and Enjoi to Jacuzzi other than the graphics/logos
