Looks like a big Former sticker on an FA deck, zoom in and you can see the embossing on it.

Either way sounds like a new rider announcement, someone from the FA camp for sure.

Good catch.

This is a new rider on Former not a new board brand.

Berle Haggard X Bob Dylan?

Caples or Jake Anderson makes more sense, but it would be dope if Elijah Berle was the mystery rider.

It's true I also thought they were getting into boards but now after revisiting Frontside Slappy's comment it might just be a teaser for a new (clothing) rider.

Berle would be hilarious . But based on the pants and shoes maybe Diego? He’s in the camp and on all those brands that or curren given him and Jake have been best friends they’re whole lives.

I’m guessing Berle or Diego. Curren skates Ace’s not Indy’s.

If it's Berle this is more about the beef-squashing than the clothing sponsor.

I would lean towards Elijah just because Stussy probably pays Diego well. Also, Vans has been making cuts so maybe he no longer gets paid for wearing the clothing.

that’s just an assumption, he’s pretty marketable towards a certain demographic but i also wouldn’t be shocked if he’s not on. aidan mackey on former just sounds weird

Berle is a surfer boy. Would make sense!

If Austyn and Berle had any sense of kayfabe, they would have kept up the appearance that they hated each other's guts for the culture.

The ad announcing Berle can be them kissing and it says Former enemies

Totally forgot Diego was on Stussy. But I just looked at the post again and it said liked by Diegotoad, for what it’s worth.

Former teasing relevancy? Former resurgence? Were they ever surged really to start. Time will tell
