Maybe he didn't want to be pro cause he knew inside he wanted to leave Primitive. Being pro and leaving is far worse than leaving as an AM.....no?

I think turning pro and leaving is a bad look. He was really methodical with his sponsors. He was never really on DC or Zero, just flow and went sponsorless for a bit before primitive and Nike.

I remember a story about Shane blocking Blind from turning Yuto pro so his debut could be with April.

how would shane be able to affect anything blind does? am i missing something?

[Love Parked]

I could see him on Girl.

Blind had made thousands of Yutos pro boards...ready to ship before Yutos manager said no dice. i think maybe there's even bill weiss having the board at street league  ready to present him with the board, and yutos manager being there and telling him no, he is not turning pro for blind he will be leaving for april once the contract is up

[Jud Nestorkins]

 So Yuto knew he was gonna be pro for April while he was still on blind?

[shannamal]

so it was his manager, and therefore yuto, that blocked the going pro, not shane?

if im understanding the timeline right, shane asked yuto to join april as a pro while blind was making boards for him, unbeknownst to yuto. then they told him he was going pro but he was already leaving

Sounds like a Trevor Colden situation, but at least Blind didn’t make Yuto pay for the boards. Want to see that Yuto Blind board

Maybe he should take notes from Marbie or Beatrice…

my guess is that Shane and yutos agents/manager were talking, shane came up with a plan for April and the brand and how Yuto would be involved, and how it would be better if he turned pro for april and not blind he agreed but was still contracted to Blind at the time...

"Pro" or not, with his skating, looks and vibe he's gonna be making a lot of money skateboarding. Most probably is already.

I mean, who makes more money: an "am" with a Nike deal and no deck vs. a "pro" with a deck for brand X and no shoe sponsor?

That's a good point, I don't think it would be a good career move to be in the bad books with the Rodfather. Regardless of what you think about him, you can't really deny the influence he has on the game. It would be a really bad look to go pro on there and leave etc. and maybe he was just honest with Paul and said he has bigger ambitions than primitive which is pretty reasonable considering he is kind of a "once in a generation" type skill level.

 I also think its fried to assume he is not doing fine with his sponsors financially  i dont think he is in any sort of rush to do anything which is pretty rare for skateboarding, sounds a bit like the janoski story where he turned down an etnies pro model - he likely also had the self awareness to understand how mcuh his "brand" was worth at the time. From what I have seen, he seems to be an intelligent human being.

People need to stop getting so caught up on the title of "Pro" as if it means anything more than a Marketing scheme to sell more boards because it has a guy's name on it. There are children in Japan and Brazil who you can probably ollie over who are already superior skill level to even most of today's Pros. I think that is kind of looking at things in a vacuum when you say "well so and so has a board so why doesnt Dylan".

there are definitely plans for that guy to have a pro board with his name on it and everything is a profit maximization strategy ultimately, the timing just has not been there. If you consider in previous generations, it was a revolving door, so they had more room to turn people pro more often. and also the pay was so non existant as an "am" no one would turn it down just to survive. Most companies dont really do "Ams" anymore. its just flow to pro.

the big companies have a ton of guys over 30 on your team with families and shit now. it is a completely differnet landscape. there are more legacy / legend status type pros as that sort of roster grows too. Element had like 30 pros for awhile. people clowned on it but they were keeping a lot of pros afloat who would have otherwise just did construction and fell off

Do you ever shut the fuck up

Jaeb and Brian O’Dwyer on Quasi Confirmed. There’s a thread about BOD Pro with evidence and I heard from a reliable source that rides for Quasi.

From what I gathered in other threads you're not a lover or trivializer of fascist insignia. I have no doubt that Weiss simply didn't know any better but the rising sun is a symbol closely related to the Korean genocide and should be shunned (same goes for that dumb ass Muska deck)

that muska deck is a reference to the Hosoi deck (which was a reference to that flag) but it’s worth pointing out why it’s controversial as the Rising Sun flag feels pretty innocuous to most outside of east Asia today.  The atrocities of Imperial Japan are barely touched upon here

It’s like how the South wants us to view the Confederate Flag, but it has the benefit of a far deeper historical context for the country and is a flag of the establishment not the rebels.       

[Kielwasser]

Thanks for the Hosoi context on that Muska board. It's pretty wild how much this particular episode of history tends to be swept under the table. I'm a European antifascist and I still think there are solid arguments for comparing the Korean genocide to the Holocaust.

I think it just depends where you live.  I’m in LA so I hear a lot about the Armenian genocide by the Turks in WWI, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that isn’t well-known outside of this region.

It's not, at least here in the Northeast...

Back to the topic, the Jaeb & BOD acquisitions are, if true, interesting...

Somewhat left-field, somewhat conscionable...

Dylan Jaeb deserves everything the skating world has in store for him, and I dare say it's a lot. Dude has something very special about him. Seems like a sharp head on his shoulders too.

That's officially recognized by most European governments I think

Sorry, was being American-centric with that.   

It always shocks me what people don’t know here.   My mom was born in raised in Tulsa and she had never heard of the destruction of Black Wall Street even though that happened less than 40 years after she was born until she read Killers of the Flower Moon
