That guy had no idea Michael Jackson had any “legal issues” either. They’ve clearly just emerged from a bomb shelter or woke up from a 30 year coma

Wooten, remilard and Eman are the only Santa Cruz riders that make sense…I’ll throw Blake in there too.

I'm pretty sure that in an interview Jeremy Klein said he'd gotten Gonz on only because Tracker had promised to him a signature truck- but then they rescinded the offer so he quit and went back to Indy.

Interesting to me that people have such strong opinions on truck sponsors, I don't really think of most of the truck brands as having that distinct of a brand identity that any skater would or wouldn't fit.

Only exceptions I can think of are Venture (tech ledge skaters, east coast, baggy clothes, etc) and ACE (pool/transition skaters, pacific northwest, slappy guys, old guys, etc).

Venture has Kader, had Dan Drehobl, and most of the Quasi team. Ace has most of the Limo dudes now, Jack O Grady, etc. It seems that your perception of these brands is not represented by who actually rides for them.

LebowskisRug · « **Reply #48 on:** September 11, 2023, 01:03:36 PM »

Currently I'd say Dilo:

Jacuzzi, Venture, Hrs, Shake Junt

You categorized 2/4 of the big truck companies...

How many transition focused skaters are on Thunder? There's Zion, Jimmy Wilkins, and kinda Ishod... kinda. But most of their team are pretty much traditional street skaters.

Indy's whole schtick is gnarly/hellride, but that's been shifting a little bit for a while now.

Imo, trucks are some of the most distinct brands, and they kind of have to stick out in their own right since the market is so limited

Pedro Barrow has some weird sponsors giving his hesh image

Leticia and him sponsored by petrobras

PETROBRAS just a corrupt company from brasil that probably used then to wash some money, worst part is that they both knew for sure and took it anyway...

Weird to not see Yuto as he was the first person to pop on my list. Beside his sponsors out side of skating (Delta Airlines and that sort), April and Supreme is a crazy mash up.

Came here to say this

Cody Chapman is a weird one
Uma, Indy, Lakai, Spitfire

John Gardner honorable mention with Creature / DC

I don’t think it’ll happen but if Ray Bourne actually got on Last Resort that would be cursed.

The reigning champ of strange sponsor combos is Zach Allen: lining (Chinese athletic footwear), baker, royal trucks and rvca
