They really fumbled Dyson ramones entire career. He was killing it whenever he popped out like 08/09.
Nothing new though. Dune been doing that shit to people since 92.

They really had an amazing team at one point. Supa, Renaud, Olly Todd, Fairfax, Clint, Shimizu I think, Raymond, apparently Jack Sabback, Tony Karr, Tony Silva… was Keegan Sauder on too? Imagining a full length with those guys is amazing.
For someone w.no signature ur awfully hostile, & that is why I do this

I remember Keegan being pretty bummed on Stereo by the time he left.  I think Dune was not great at communicating and organizing at the time, and Zero had a pretty serious 'program', if you had a gnarly trick in mind, you'd get a plane ticket.  It seemed like Stereo then had the distribution and therefore money to market and pay pros, it just never seemed to go anywhere...

One can only imagine a 50 year old dude still trying to make a living in an industry that is considerably worse than how he experienced it decades ago, no shit he's mad....

Hopefully a revamp. I thought stereo was the coolest when I was a kid in the 90’s. And their art direction is still great. Maybe a couple legacy pros and some reissues, keep us old heads happy.

Jason lees cowboy retirement board was one of the best boards I ever had. Loved that board. One day it’ll pop up on eBay and I’ll pay an embarrassing amount of money for it.

Dune not so much. He is not alone in this but it seems many companies are started/ continued as a personal need, not a market need. This is fine but the amount of people doing this probably hurts the industry as a whole.
[close]

IMO one of the big problems with the “industry” is that there are sooooooo many old dorks like Dune hanging around trying to avoid getting a real job. I mean this is a huge problem everywhere, you see it with Andrew Tate’s “Hustler’s University” and myriad dropshipping scams, etc. I don’t know why it’s so prevalent in skateboarding except to speculate that immaturity and a fairly low barrier to entry fuels endless delusion.

The idea that Stereo Skateboards should exist to sell anything other than Jason Lee merchandise is laughable.

Facts

It's over Dune, pack Stereo up.. you had a good run.. at this point I don't even know why he's wasting time and money. Who is buying a Stereo anything in 2025.

Further evidence of a falling out- non dune cohost and no repost from Stereo.   I’d think if no J Lee and Dune than no Stereo, but who knows.  The perpetual half off sale is usually not a good omen for a brand.

Goes hand in hand with half-off Stereo podcast hosting, then.
Chi vive in baracca, chi suda il salario,
Chi ruba pensioni, chi ha scarsa memoria,
Chi ha crisi interiori, chi scava nei cuori,
Chi legge la mano, chi regna sovrano,
Chi suda, chi lotta, chi mangia una volta,
Chi gli manca la casa, chi vive da solo,
Chi trova scontato, chi come ha trovato...

I’ll watch the ED episode, shit I’d prolly rather watch Jason Lee trying to figure out who guests are rather than crobs blatant non research, a skateboarding camera podcast with dope photogs would be pretty cool, consider me interested

Nah, he’s working on fulfilling the orders, he’s just traveling at the moment.

I’ve had a little bit of contact with him a couple weeks back.

If this is about Jason Lee, that's a pretty incredible thing to claim about the movie star best friend who stuck by you for thirty years.
