I heard he got an offer for Baker by reynolds himself and chose to stay on Frog. Wild if true.

[close]

He also got offered Hockey and Quasi from what I heard and also turned those down. He ain’t going anywhere.

I think its really cool, he stays with his Friends
Dont really see him fit the Hockey vibe but all of these are good offers

[Shtonk]

Big up for loyalty but those are some insane offers to turn down in favour of Chris Milic's doodles and Modelos with Jesse Alba. The shoe contract bump he would've gotten out of any of those other companies could be financing a house for him right now probably.

reading the name "nick michel" for the first time over here, i really dunno who is this kid

If you rather hit reply, type out that sentence complete with a quotation marks around his name, hit post, then wait for some guy you don't know on slap to link you to footage, then just forget it. Could have arrived at an answer just typing his name into youtube or ig.

I wonder, when did it become a flex to not go out of your way to follow skating anymore?

They have the best music selection, incredible team, good vibe and two amazing filmers and editors (Daniel Dent and Diego Meek).
some bangers from the past





also they used to have emo and ambiant playlist that were amazing

Yes. It sounds dumb.
Like when people say they dont know who are the kardashians. Hahahahha

i genuinely do not understand how someone could be nerdy enough to have a slap account but not recognize a fairly big name from the last five or so years

lol there was someone soliciting for a roofing company who knocked on my door the other day and we have this owl hanging outside on the front porch and the person knocking asked if it was the OVO owl and asked me if I knew who Drake was, I said no and that I don’t own the house and shut the door

I feel like Diego Meek is so under appreciated. Going through his Instagram and Vimeo accounts has brought me so much joy for over a decade now.

my friend's company Flower Snowboards is premiering a video at Frog's LA store tomorrow

[Lurknopost]

anyone else remember when nick michel was on heroin

[rosemaryBB]

There is not enough Evan Wasser love in this thread.

We don't know his Vans contract but being the marquee young gun (which he would be) on arguably the best and most respected team of the current era would probably elevate his negotiating position considerably. Baker has ten times as many IG followers as Frog. What indeed would that do?

[roba]

absolutely nothing, santa cruz has more than baker and they're all on etnies

[Troubadour26]

I know that Frog is not HUGE but I think some of you are underestimating how popular the brand is.

Same ! his 2023 demo real on insta was beautiful

[joshk]

Feel obligated to call out that many skaters are more prolific than we realize, but their footage gets scattered across montages. Nick and the Frog guys are great examples of this.

Our site has some Nick fans keeping track of all his recent appearances. Check out his Skatefolio profile.

i really liked the purple horse ad, the shot with the camera attached to the jeans focused on the label really stood out to me. seems like he ran with that concept for some of the punkandyo stuff with the camera attached to the shoe. the song is crazy too, the max wusungu crew video kinda jacked it but i get it

[Arto!Arto!WakeUp!]

nick, frankie and chris are 3 of the most watchable guys out, so i'd say that automatically makes the brand relevant if you like to watch skateboarding

however

i asked someone who doesn't like to watch skateboarding how relevant frog skateboards felt to them and they said not at all so i suppose it is all relative in the end.

[No Wave Comply]

This is the defining Nick Michel part for me

http://youtu.be/DBlKkhohi7Y?si=whMmOGjBvBHBwQwR

Yep. This is the one. The line at LA High (heelflip on flat, wallie onto bench, fs blunt to fakie) and that ledge planter backtail at Brick Banks are perfection.

[No Wave Comply]

Hjalte edit is one of my favorite videos of the last x amount of years.

BTW, love the Faust IV profile thumbail and "Jennifer" lyric quote. "Yellow jokes come out of your mind."

[work_lurker]

Is Hjalte on Frog? I know he left Polar, but is he really on Frog or am I tripping?

he's skates Frog park all the time so it's not that surprising
some people just want to do their shit

i never considered frog to be relevant.

Is there a Frog park or a park in Frogtown which is unrelated to the brand

Vans put out a Frog shoe for a bit there

Frogtown/Marsh park
Chris & Jesse have been skating there since before they started the brand
the park has gotten a lot more popular in recent years
