Ronnie Creager Off Etnies

[sparksandblood]

Creager will be wearing Cons in no time.

that would not surprise me. he would be a good fit

[H8R part 4]

i doubt he'll have a had time finding a shoe sponsor, the dude is all sorts of awesome.
i wish him the best of luck.  the new blind video should be sick. 

[sal23]

I heard his contract expired and they didn't have the budget to renew it.
Nothing personal but in times like these even if it isn't fat you're cutting, you gotta cut something.
Sadly shecks probably makes 10 times what they paid creager. But he sells a shit ton of shoes and thats what keeps the doors open.
I hope ronnie finds a new home somewhere. Kinda surprised globe hasn't offered him a spot.

wait till shecklers contract ends
rep's have been saying hes switching over to dc to be under the dc/syndrome mix

i doubt etnies even has to worry about a budget anymore. sheckler alone has sold so much shit, his products probably sell enough to keep that company up singlehandedly

I caught on to Creager way late when he did Menikmati and I thought he was super dope.....even though his part was super short. I thought his flip out tricks on ledges looked like butter.

I am sure he will find a dope new sponsor but it always seems like he had a hard time with shoes in general. I don't think I ever heard anyone say they wanted a Creager shoe....well, ever since he left Es.

[oyolar]

i've really liked how etnies announced rune's and ronnie's departures. they've done it very tactful and respectful rather than just not ay anything ad see if people notice.

[tiger woods]

shits fucked up, creager is legendary status in my eyes, but i'm sure he'll be getting shoes in no time.

[cliff]

Harsh times.....shit is kinda fucked.

[MexicanSpaniard]

Duncombe the only guy with a shoe sponsor? Jani sort of.
P.S. I saw a shit load of Blind boards at the park this weekend.

[Guile]

i doubt hes going to have to pay for shoes though, hes still ronnie creager.

[kinky john]

He doesn't care, he's one of the most talented as well as one of the most slept on skaters ever.  He has always just let his skateboarding do the talking.
best of luck to him, I doubt he needs it. Creager is the man.

couldn't agree more, creager always has, and always will be a proper solid stand up geezer. 

[Lance]

one of the first parts I ever saw when I first started skating was Creagers super conducter part and it's still a favorite.  wherever he ends up he'll be gettin arab money

[AENYC]

i bet most pro's who have expiring contracts (whether they be board/shoes/hardware/whatevs) this year are in for some harsh times.

[Blue Fescue]

Remember when he started Nadia and had that add thanking all of the companies that had been giving him shoes.

He got dvs flow shoes after nadia failed. I also remember that he had a dvs shirt and shoes in a sequenz on in Big Brother mag in 2003. dvs should get him, would be nice.

the fact that a statement like this has to be said, and true for that matter really shows you where skateboarding has gone and where its going. dude should be getting paid out the ass just to think about putting a certain shoe on in the morning. real skateboarders that are just skateboarding and not gimmicking will never have the chance to make money it seems. dude needs a horrible hair cut some soccer mom esque walmart colored jeans and some face tats. lets say hes really down for eating bibles too, that will get his shit moving in no time. fuck etnies

[Guile]

people are talking like this is the end of ronnie creager and its the most horrible thing to ever happen to the guy. remember how he got screwed with nadia? he landed right back on his feet and he will again. someones going to pick him up fast and im not going to be too bummed for the guy until i see him standing outside of active mailorder with a receipt. Kelly, i know you lurk this shit, talk to mike and rickk and get ronnie on the program. i wanna see him and mikemo eating stacks of cheeseburgers in the next tour video.

[RaunchyKid]

I think he'll just go with whoever offers him shoes first. He doesn't care about this shit. He cares about skateboarding.

Yeah, and as long as he's getting his dues I won't care what company it is either. He deserves a damn shoe.

I'm gonna start a thread "I could see every skater without a shoe sponsor on Cons. They'd all fit in great." Retards will eat it up.

[RaunchyKid]

fuck really? Was he ever really fully on. Dude etnies even give him a colorway?

Hastings posted it on the first page of the thread.

EDIT:
"The Creager pro model from etnies is designed and tested by Ronnie Creager. Reminiscent of classic etnies styles like the Rap and Intercity, but updated to meet the demands of modern skateboarding, the Creager features a cupsole construction for durability and support, a custom Ronnie Creager-inspired "Happy Skateboarding" footbed, STI Foam™ cushioning footbed, System G2™ inserted into heel, to prevent heel bruises, System Flo2™ tongue for superior ventilation, two sets of laces and lower hidden lace loops to protect your laces, triple-stitched toe cap for durability, padded tongue and collar with elastic tongue-centering straps and a 400 NBS rubber outsole with internal EVA midsole. Available in sizes 5-14 and only in skate shops. See more Creager colorways."

"...only in skate shops."

Etnies probably stacks so much loot.... I doubt Creager is much of a budget concern. I know companies aren't in business to lose money, and I understand that today's kids probably are not remembering back to his Menikmati days (a few years after many of them were born), but he's still getting ads and still skating. It's not like he's some washed up charity case like a lot of the older guys are.... just check this shit out:



If Fully Flared ledge combos are what's hot right now, I really don't understand why this wouldn't be selling also...

[CeeyMar]

maybe he could be flowed Adidas? that would be pretty sweet?

[The Ghost of BILLY RUFF]

his blind part is fucked! sooo steezy eazy! definately an underated skater of the year/blah blah blah award for any year.

[Allen.]

I used to be on this dude's nuts so hardcore. I have a pair of his Nadia pro shoes in perma-deadstock because of this, and I had a pair of his pro Dragonetti wheels as well.

Those things sucked

I'm just saying, Rune left Etnies and was wearing Cons.
Creager left Etnies. Both are legends in each their own area.
Just saying it would be ironic if he went to Cons.
No need to get all worked up over it.

I approve of this propsed thread.

for what it's worth, joey pepper was skating in converse last night but that has nothing to do with creager and/or converse.  carry on.
