Vinyl Skate Co (Blake Carpenter)

[camel filters]

Only starting this because I found it odd its been announced for two days and still nothing here. Unless I'm blind. In that case my bad.

[Magnolia]

I could see him on Krooked

[Binomial Nomenclature]

I prefer Maple.

[crescentfresh]

i always get Blake Carpenter and Cory Kennedy mixed up in my head, am i the only one?

[TwisT]

2 page ad, no product. No video. Ballsy

[Shortys Hardware]

Kev perez and joe face...two creative geniuses 

[DemonCarcass]

agreed. anything that helps get more footage of blake out there is a plus. never paid much attention to art cordova's footage when he was on flip (or was it another brand), but god damn that dude is fucked up good

[BeachChicken]

Another forgettable brand that prob won't make it past 2027.

[Dwayne Hoover]

looks like shit

Yes, and i take this as an insult to cory

[Safariferrari]

this seems like its going to be painfully generic but also expected

[Texas_Tone]

There’s a lame countdown clock on the website

[Style Police]

Not feeling the art direction but the team is sick. Wish them the best of luck.

[Candied cigarettes]

Yeah, and a 20 day countdown is way too long. We’re all gonna forget about the brand before it even launches!

[xrossings]

remind me in 20 days to see how bad the graphics are

Blake Carpenter was the one who switch 360 flip 5-0'd an actual handrail and nobody cared because he was silly enough to do it in a Dekline video, instead of doing it immediately after the Dekline video when he was on Nike.
A video that also premiered with the knowledge of him getting on Nike. That was funny watching him dodge the question at the premiere.

I think he's underrated / overlooked as fuck. Kinda reminds me of like a Tony Tave or Trapasso. Got such a good ollie and switch tre which makes him pretty golden in my book.

[CossRooper]

Good for them for making their own shit. Every other team is full, or a rotting corpse of its former self, and only pays a couple hundred bucks a month. Might as well.

[Cheshire Cat]

Not many parts with FOUR of the same trick edited in a row and it be completely justified. @2:32

I disagree, per the aforementioned new shoe sponsor at his “former” shoe sponsors video premiere. He hasn’t been dropped from anyone and he left Toy Machine of his own volition. A number of people on this board wanted him on Girl!!

I find Blake a very forgettable individual and skater, despite his technical abilities. And I fully expect one of these men to say “people think vinyl is cool and we thought that was cool for a brand name” at some point.

DOA. you have to have a personality before you can have a company

Yah I realise that him doing tricks such as the sw360flip 5-0 is probably what led to him getting on the likes of Nike. I don't actually think he's an idiot for that, it's just funny to think about a possible past where he did while on Nike and it led to it getting remembered more or having more impact.
Now that you mention it I could have seen him on Girl previously and fitting.
I don't find his skating forgttable in the slightest, but do find his clothing a bit generic and literally had the exact same thought about the name of the company lmao.

I watched a few of his parts last year when folks were debating which brand he should get on, but it did nothing for me. It’s in part a generational difference. He fully grew up in the era of the internet and youtube and skateparks on every corner and the x games and video games, and I think his trick selection reflects that.

To each their own, as far as being a fan. I do think it’s funny to recruit someone who was riding for Flip like a week ago. I wonder what even Flip’s reputation is among anyone under like twenty-five??

[augustmoon]

He seems like a dude that would work at a truck dealership in Mobile Alabama

[pointandclick]

having worked at a shop for a while, i don't know if i can not think of of the stereo vinyl cruiser penny rip when i hear about this brand.

[cornman]

looks like shit

[lamfordie]

Looks like Art Cordova is on. Good move for him to jump ship of Flip

[cornman]

It looks like one of the ads in Thrasher after the music section, between Rip’n’dip and Techne skateboards.

[PatrickSkateman]

But why did Toy Machine have to blow back up after he left? Toy’s looking solid now.

[ungzilla]

vinyl > record > disc shape > flat earth i see ur propaganda blake the snake
