Skate Mental Team Update

[TwisT]

Skate mental is insane, l don't know how they survive for so long. They somehow fall ass backward into great riders, only for them too leave shortly after. It's like a transitional homie brand. I only ever remember them being popular when they first started

Looking for to the  inevitable kellen Skate mental "SM" parody graphic

[boneless900]

Seems like Giorgi is off skate mental too. Definitely for the best that durao is off the team, really looking forward to seeing where he goes next. I loved his clips in Johnny's Vid

[arrbee]

I feel like this happens every few years with SM. He'll build up a solid team, not do anything with them and a few people turn around and leave.

Durao hasn't been on very long, maybe only a 1 year contract. I can see Plunkett dropping back to be on the business side.

Moar bigspin tail slides from Christian Milleroooff thank god praise jesus

Which of these do you think should win the "best team/worst company" lifetime achievement award? SM was going hard there for a long ass time, but they had Nike money propping them up.

- Plan B 2.0
- Skate Mental
- A-Team
- Flip (yeah i said it)

Saw that, then he posted the same list on his page but with his name extremely crossed out

[jonnysheen]

Staba starving team riders always comes to mind.  Tim Zom really got shafted

[Idk]

Why is Skate Mental still around?

[GAY]

Brad Staba is trash.
There are many people who deserve a lot from skateboarding for their contributions and he is not one of them.

This is hilarious.

from this list, I'd say David gonzales SOTY era flip w/ louie, currren, majerus. Would be my vote for best/worst. emoji graphic era flip

I'd also add world peace era element to the list. Madars, evan, westgate, Silva, Nyjah, Nassim

[Trashcon]

Updated with a post including Kellen James - cool addition. Remember his es shoe that never was?

San Diego OG. Been killing the curbs. Interesting addition.

[Idk]

Staba took it down.

[augustmoon]

And he put up a new one with Giorgio’s name crossed out

How long has he been selling 610r61? Hes got a company based just around him? Is he doing the graphics? Anyone got some insight to this?

I can honestly say that I haven't given a shit about Staba since the early 00's, but after reading that Tim Zom interview, Staba can fuck right off.

Seriously, who denies someone a meal like that? Even if I didn't have the funds to buy someone their own meal, I would gladly share some of my food with them because that's just the humane thing to do. I get that you can't always pull cash out of some credit cards, but Staba could have at least bought him a meal with said credit card. Add the fact that Staba pulled this shit on Tim two days in a row. Unbelievable

I'm probably getting more worked up over this than I should, but I just can't comprehend or relate with this type of behavior.

[AceBoogie]

never gave a fuck about this brand.
art direction is "cool" to some im guessing, but this whole brand missed me

[shannamal]

can i uhhhhhhhhhhh get a screenshot

[Mitch Brenner]

In the recent Thrasher with Miles on the cover in the news section it mention Staba being creative director for the Oakley reboot. Strange choice, but surprised he didn't shutter Skate Mental and chase the corporate bag.

What a fucking move if true. Staba doesn't have a creative bone in his body. And department lunches will be rough.

[heinzketchup]

wonder what happened with giorgi, as hard as it sounds but i think for a lot of the guys on the team list the last resort is skate mental, nowhere to go after that

[Ricky Vaughn]

those "The Suburbs" hats are the only thing Skate Mental did that I even remember.

[Theme For A Jackal]

And he put up a new one with Giorgio’s name crossed out

and added Kellen James because he forgot to put him in the first one lol

Pretty bad look when you're so focused on the dudes who are leaving your company you forget about the ones that aren't

[Síota]

Imagine not knowing who is on your team and you are the boss...917 ?
