Another Board Company

[DanCorteseFromMTVSports]

Dudes, here's an altered image that was done on MSPaint on my laptop. Kind of like cut and paste from multiple generated images with some hand drawn elements in there as well that were made a bit out of focus to match the generated image quality.

This can't be the face of Canadian skating. I'd prefer Red Dragon takeover the industry before my eyes are subjected to more of this.

Trae the tank as a team member is fucking hilarious though

Every other skater is going to carry and promote their own ‘brand’ at this rate what the fuck is going on😅

‘So yeah guys I like monkeys on the banana phone pushing the limits for pro skaters, fucking 2 cents yes!’

I kinda think why don’t they? Paul Rodriguez sold all gold boards pre-Primitive and people snapped em up quick. Didn’t Chris Cole do the same in-between Plan B and Zero (round two)?

I just figure skip they should skip the  “graphics” going forward, cuz it ain’t gettin better.

Pretty sure Cole’s boards didn’t sell anywhere near as quickly as he thought and that’s why he went back to Zero vs. doing his own thing

Name is already better than Uma or Sandlot Times but that's not saying much.

I’d rather carry uma

Damn what a let down.. decenzo should have better taste. What is this AI garbage? 2 cents? Here’s my two cents: scrap and start over while you still have time.

[lurkluke]

Seeing all the insta comments saying how great and sick the graphic is is so disheartening but also reflective of heaps of industries now.

I'm getting real nihilistic about the industry I work in. People put heaps of time and effort into making a complete product with unique art; while others just do an ai copyright infringement of a comic or something and get people clapping like seals saying how epic it is.

Why try to do anything if people don't actually give a shit. Just slap some garbage on some garbage and it'll be just as popular.

someone like paul rodriquez doing that and someone like decenzo doing that are absolutely not the same thing- beloved flagship skater for nike with 10+ pro shoes vs guy who rides for darkstar and FP footwear... of course people snapped up the paul boards

Why couldn’t he have just went to Plan B or Thank You or fucking Sandlot even.

It really is depressing isn’t it. It’s like bots praising bots. They’ll just drop a fire emoji and a generic, upbeat one liner because a guy they like is doing a thing. No critical thought beyond that. Maybe we are the monkeys with a backwards typewriter and this graphic is a subtle critique of society’s collective inability to grasp its own lack of self awareness. Maybe Ryan Decenzo is telling all of us to wake up to the threat of AI destroying human ingenuity. We need to know what Mickey papa thinks of all this.

There was a small company in Portland a couple years ago called two cents and I’m pretty sure they had a monkey graphic

[close]

I remember 35th North carried some of their boards

5 weeks ago Decenzo liked my comment that AI art sucks; now he starts some AI bullcrap company?





I prefer this over the AI collage bullcrap

[DirtyCheddarKids]

Everything about this is a tragic.

[Urtripping]

Seems like a great fit for him.

[Buttworm]

My 2 cents, he shoulda stayed on Darkstar.

Darkshart has got to be dwindling out by now surely. Company reminds me of that cow scene in Me Myself and Irene

Strange, especially being Ryan is from Vancouver (PNW) making it more likely he’d be aware of this.

I don’t hate the graphic if it was made by a human, the tail logo is hideous though.

[Ninj2]

Here’s the thing
Ai art don’t have to really suck. This shit does though. Ai is a tool. Like you is fool.  It’s just up to the person asking the fucking “google serf” to make something that you think about real. As real as anything is in the digital world. Some real shit on your phones.
It’s just that this ai art and it Sucks and if you scared of Ai you might need to be cuz It learning from are dumb hateful asses and that’s on us god.

what about ryan decenzo gave you the impression that he has good taste?

I got a double decker vhs/dvd. I recorded 3 hours of pjlwhl dvd menu over questionable when I was 12 and fell asleep on the floor and my toe hit the record button. My biggest regret!

You’re right.. my expectations were too high. But it doesn’t even match the redbull athlete aesthetic he has… it’s giving…lazy stoner? Which Ryan is not.
Damn it’s just out of all the cool shit you could do with a new board brand and you do this.

That graphic... yikes. Typewriter facing backwards, inconsistent # of fingers, all sorts of random objects...

At least pretend you're trying

Gives me suspicions this was AI generated

The lamp is the biggest one for me. It doesn't look like anything. Although, the phone cord does wrap in a linear fashion (except for the random bit on its arm.)

What is the monkey wearing on it's back? Some sort of backpack? Also the weird random cobwebs and that cluster over the right shoulder just floating there.
