I would think it was more like a contractual obligation. Then again, I wonder if PRod makes people sign contracts regardless of whether or not they’re pro or would-be pro.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Class move here with the spoilers, this is how it's done.

Can't wait to see this. Love this guy on Quasi. His skating deserves edits with more flavor and to be on a brand with a proper identity.

I have a gripe with cover releases and yt thumbnails. Why always spoil the enders for us??

It’s getting lame.

?? Don’t click the spoil button then, the fuck

I personally don’t mind spoilers like the one posted above. But I think more people are upset with Thrasher using the ender as a magazine cover, often the thumbnail for YouTube vids, hard post on IG as soon as the part drops etc. Like there’s no surprise or sacredness left.

People forget that Thrasher exists to make money. The skate industry is not the skate culture.

Any clues yet to when it will be released in to the wild for the rest of us to watch?

I guessed the fakie flip was his ender already.
I say “guess” but it’s common practice now for thumbnails and covers to show enders. I feel it’s a shame.

I don’t even know man, I know in the thread for it a few months back someone posted some industry guy commenting their accountant or something stole like 3 million? I’m assuming it’s one of those things where they caught dude and worked it out so the team stuck around.

It’s not like this is an uncommon thing in skating though. Look at the stories from kayo and dwindle before they finally closed up shop though. All those guys said they put up with for months before really considering leaving , whether it be trusting their tms who actually were looking out for them or just not wanting to give up the dream. Jaeb just young and popular enough that he could actually go somewhere new without having to worry about like a mortgage and kids and stuff. A Nike check and roommates is a pretty good life for a 21 year old not so much a 31 year old.

With how much information is accessible these days I am honestly shocked that we don’t have a better idea of what these contracts look like. Maybe its time for a “drop the contract thread”. With the number of us older skaters in professional roles including attorneys it would be wise for youngsters to seek some advice, outside of ai.

I'm not sure you understand how contracts work. If Primitive is in breach of contract because they stop paying their skaters, those skaters are definitely not obligated to continue skating for Primitive.

[TheWineClub]

I mean P-Rod did get on a podcast talking about how he’s planning on buying a Rolls Royce soooo it’s probably not a good look when the team isn’t getting paid and the boss is buying a 300-400k car, I’d quit too

They aren't obligated to stay but they also aren't motivated to leave if they don't see themselves getting on anything else. The skaters are good but if you are on there for a long time, I think the lack of brand personality puts a stink on the riders to get on anything else. Tiago excluded. I think he could get on anything at the snap of a finger. Reynolds probably foaming at the mouth to hear him say he's dissatisfied with Primitive.

Do you remember the name of that thread? I’ve seen comments about this, but don’t think I’ve ever read the thread
