Could see him on kr00ked

[close]

Honestly imagine how cool it would be if he got onto antihero or real after he left flip, he would’ve been great on real as a legacy pro

Could kinda see him on anti hero, idk about real but they have such a lack of personality so maybe anyone could fit. I’m calling an adored guest model, idk duff and rowleys relationship. I could see them either loving or hating each other.

Templeton just needs to put him on Toy Machine

Haha that’s a weird answer, they did multiple guest boards on that company and him and temps are really good friends, it would absolutely make sense

[Rip Wheeler]

could see him on modern H-Street

I don’t understand why people think he’s still so deserving of a sponsor. Sorry and all that was great, I grew up on it. But that last part was a snoozer. It’s cool that he still skates hard but I didn’t need to see it. Why is it that in skateboarding some find it necessary to continue to pay someone based on what they did two decades ago?

[close]

Because his name sells in some capacity.

[close]

Didn’t sell enough of those Freedome boards apparently. Probably more to do with the company’s name than his

It seemed like a pretty small potatoes operation.   Don’t know if it ever really got out there to sell, but it existed for a decent amount of time (probably 3x longer anyone would have expected) based off of something

About fucking time they get Geoff and Tom on Palace.

[close]

why would palace do that?  why should palace do that?

[close]

Because they are English skateboarding royalty. There's nary a better fit in all of skateboarding. When the Palace team was smaller, it made a bit less sense. Now that the team is so large, it's a crime they're not on. Yes, it would be a sort of veteran's division thing, but in fact both guys are still skating at a ridiculously high level. A couple tricks a year in the occasional edit, it'd be a beautiful fucking thing.

[close]

in terms of his personal brand, rowley is about the least palace skater in all of existence. them cats are out getting mashed up to jungle, he's out mashing up jungle cats. it's just not gonna work.

anyway they already have a hesh scouser.

I wanna see scally Geoff. I've always thought OC Geoff was just a phase.

I may not like much of what post-vegan Rowley likes or is into, but I don’t really feel like piling on

I probably dont care and it's a whole waste of energy to pursue it...but what do you mean? Got any links where I can explore what hath becometh of Mr Rowley?

[close]

The Flip part?    Or post Vegan part?

PostVegan, I mean as a fellow recovering vegan, is there anything controversial in this? or did dude just decide he wanted to devour some protein and people got the sads?

He's a trophy hunter and guide now, so basically just jumped from one extreme to the other.

Isn't pedo Ed vegan ? Cannot see him putting on a ex vegan now pro hunter/past his prime Rowley.

I’ve got one from @Sativa Lung that is lightly skated in the Rowley shape. Pretty sure he was using his own concave for these and the shape looks cool. Was anybody else on the team?

[close]

Pedro barros I think, early on their was an interview with Geoff he spoke about Pedro having the fire or someshit

[close]

I don't know if Pedro was actually on in, I think that was just a guest board. Actually iirc that was around the time that Pedro had like 3 boards out on 3 different companies (freedom, pocket pistols, and someone else I can't recall) haha.

[close]

Haven't seen anything from Pedro Barros in years. He was gnarly like ten years ago. Injuries?

I had heard he had some drug charges and wasn't allowed in the US, can anyone confirm or was that hearsay

I thought he did conservation hunting, which is fine to do as long as you’re not too stoked on killing animals

[OwlGreen]

Was it intentional for the company name to mean "free blowjobs"? Did no one ever bring this up to him?

[aleksander]

Absolutely intentional, he's a total pervert and into kinky symbolism with all his sponsors and interests.

Flip (me over and do my b-hole)

Motorhead - self-explanatory

That's how he tries to frame it but I'm not sure how you're saving big horn sheep (which are really only hunted for sport) by taking people's money to take them out and shoot them.

Yeah, it's wack.

I heard that in the original cut of Extremely Sorry there was footage of him killing a mountain lion spliced into either his intro or the intro to the video, and aside from Rowley everyone who saw it was like “Uhhhh, yeah that’s way to gnarly to have in this montage…”
Conservation & gathering your own food aside, I think dude just enjoys stalking and killing.

One of the greatest to do it, but his hyper-christian leanings and the mental gymnastics he has to do to justify his big game hunting as conservation work bothers me, personally.

Freedome suffered from a lack of modern marketing and a solid team. Wish everyone involved the best if it's on the outs.

Yea wasn't he throwing up upside down crosses and shit in really sorry? Did he pull a Sumner? If he just did a full personality change and go from being a vegan atheist to a Christian big game hunter then I'm declaring him bipolar.
