Swim Skateboards (Terp and Plunkett)

[Lou Strux]

I kinda admire Plunkett, he says and does the things a lot of us are thinking.

Oh good: I'm glad we're not the only people thinking "Fuck this Brad Staba dude!" 

Also, it feels oddly uncomfortable to find myself in agreement w/ this dood Jinn, but here we are...

I buy a damn board he good and he fucked with Richie Jackson made that sucka cry about fisheyes and follower numbers and damn broke that rip and dip ice
Thingy. Dan a fucking G. 

I can't really argue w/ that.

To me, Swim now feels like the most refreshing brand to come along since There, or the Heated Wheel.

the clip of him breaking that rip n dip ice sculpture is worth more than a video part

Still funny after all this time, but after seeing this, I've gotta ask: are "we" conflating a Plunkett w/ a Rizzo in this case?

Plunkett did it first, sadly the post is gone from his IG

reminds me of erowid experiences

Someone
Who
Isnt
Me

ha that's what I thought of too, except the old TOTSE board and the Bad Ideas thread. although I did read plenty of erowid back in the day as a teen desperate to feel new things.

VHS tape is still one of the coolest indie vids to come out of the Southeast. was he actually the dude on the Coke billboard??

Terp has some tricks up.   Skating faster than I remember.   Really fascinated to know what happened to him while on FA when he seemed to disappear off the board

Quasi boring. Like ambiem sleepy but wake up and eat and don’t even remeber eating. You are a whole cake piggy. Swim is some one I met on drugs.

‘Ate’ to ‘are’ is such a good autocorrect (jk you spit poetry son)

Stoked for the possibility of new Kevin Terpening footage.
Sidenote- that PlayGirl Van driving by at 3:35 belonged to a guy I knew in NYC and it always got a big reaction. I borrowed it once and a homophobic guy on the street threatened to kill me. Memories.

That impossible noseslide was crazy.

that fs flip at 55 secs was fuuuckin sick.

someone who isn't me skateboards has a nice ring to it.

Is skate mental officially done? Who even rides for em, kellen doesn’t tag em anymore and jack Curtin and nando took em off their bio

Jack deserves so much better. I wish he was on a DLX brand but they are all tapped out. If he’s not getting paid a ton from his board sponsor, I’d like to see him on Western Edition….or even GX1000 would be dope.

[radcunt]

Shoulda called it Terplunk

cool graphic, wish it was offset closer to the tail though but i'd still buy it (if i could) (i can't)

[Robert Baratheon]

This rules.

[NoComply180]

Does this mean terp will actually do his job as a pro skater again for the first time since like 2008? Probably not.

Plunkett is Fucking dope though.

Hasn't really been his job for a long time, has it? Been off FA and other sponsors for years

Thought so, just having a hard time tracking a path towards Skate Mental.

Did he leave for Expedition at any point?

that part is so sick. i really thought that it would be a part people would remember ten years later when it first came out. but i was wrong. but thanks for posting it. its really good and a cool edit.

lets see how long this brand will last. both of them are pretty much done as major pro skaters, but it could be a cool little side project. I wish them the best.

[biggietoms]

Someone here knows what happened w terp and FA. Spill the tea!!! we all want to know

Na he got let go from DGK, he goes into detail on his Bunt, worth a listen if you're curious

i like the working man’s skate company. just wish metal and swim were the same thing.

they should join and call it shipwreck distribution, do a jenkemmag storage unit tour (not warehouse, remember they're working class) and be like "yo dude, this is shipwreck distribution. anyway yall gotta get outta here cuz i gotta drive to my 9 to 5 here in a minute", tell a funny story or two of how the idea came from a genius slap pal (aka me), film a cuppla piv fakies and slappies, tease a rustbelt tour and watch those sales skyrocket.

if they end up doing this they should hire me. terps/fred, you can pay me in 8.5 decks

Is there a woodshop in Ohio?

there is

Rode my buddy's 8.25. Board felt great but shape was too square for my liking. I back it though.

[fineslime]

wow, graphics look super super dope. fresh but with a classic 90s vibe. this has a lot of potential.

[The real veganshawn]

Lucky to see Kevin at the local DIY from time to time, nice guy and rips

[OwlGreen]

Please poach Koston.

Please poach Koston.

please don't listen to this guy

[Curbyourenthusiasm]

Does anyone here remember a part (i think for sm) where Plunkett skated to Zombie, by the Cranberries? I think it got scrubbed from youtube but i used to watch that all the time to get stoked to skate. I wish it was still around. Felt like his best part to me.
