Mark Appleyard quit Flip and Ricta. He was over the little kid direction Flip has taken. It was not a pretty break up. Dudes are pissed. Where do you think Apples is headed? He quit Habitat for Flip so no DNA companies. Is DLX in the mix? Flip is fucking up pretty bad.

there has been talk of him leaving for awhile, who knows where he is going, kinda seems like he can go whereever he wants. i doubt DNA would take him back though. i really hope rowley wakes up to this whole little kid and clay figure direction of flip as being a huge damper on the brand now. honestly rowley should just quit and sell off his part of the company and ride for toy machine.

rawbertson. · « **Reply #40 on:** April 08, 2010, 08:50:06 AM »

how can you really say something like that "DNA doesnt want him back"
is this guy not super popular? i would think any company would like to sell his boards its a matter of contracts and "the business side of things" i dotn think it has as much to do with "fitting" on a team for a guy like him or PJ LAdd (matters more for dudes on crailtap where the whole company has sort of a family to it)

he left on pretty bad terms an a lot of the dudes at DNA were really bummed on him, if you recall the Jason Dill interview shortly after he quit it was pretty brutal. he never called mark out by name but it was very obvious who he was talking about. ive heard poppalardo and wenning have both tried to get back on and no dice, so i'm just saying i doubt it would happen. anything is possible though i guess.

yetiii · « **Reply #42 on:** April 08, 2010, 09:05:49 AM »

if this is true, which i doubt, i'd like him on mystery...

thats true, things like that do happen all the time. especially in skating- every pro wants to make a million bucks right. but yeah him and pj ladd they dont seem to have any pro skaters as friends they fly solo (from what fans see) so they dont get those family hook ups.

woah would appleyard go off the deepend and go to a company that is worse than flip such as plan b or element. thinking back this dude has never had a legit shoe sponsor, i guess part of his stint with circa it was somewhat legit at that time. i'd like to see him actually improve his sponsors by going to girl, real or something like that, but who knows with this guy...

The Ghost of Lenny Kirk · « **Reply #50 on:** April 08, 2010, 10:26:59 AM »

id rather see this dude stay on flip and make it better.

Sizzla · « **Reply #51 on:** April 08, 2010, 11:26:37 AM »

You guys, I already said it. He's on Mystery now, along with Darrell Stanton and Mike Maldonado.

mooraga · « **Reply #52 on:** April 08, 2010, 12:17:41 PM »

on other hand, we never thought arto would leave flip, but he did, thankfully

I really hope this could be true

visible · « **Reply #53 on:** April 08, 2010, 02:37:00 PM »

I heard he was talking to real like 6 months ago.

Gnarbys · « **Reply #54 on:** April 08, 2010, 02:38:18 PM »

I remember a lot of "this is not true" when I said Kalis and Marquise were on DGK. Also, he did quit Globe also. True story. Just thought you'd like to know. Still on Thunder for sure.

Ronald Wilson Reagan · « **Reply #57 on:** April 08, 2010, 03:59:38 PM »

I could see him on stereo if this whole thing is true. Team based on stylish guys who don't put out much coverage. good fit for him.

sectachrome · « **Reply #58 on:** April 08, 2010, 06:45:20 PM »

Not sure about this, saw him skating a Girl board at the park last week.

luke_gardner · « **Reply #59 on:** April 08, 2010, 07:07:40 PM »

not to be a buzzkill but i always got the vibe that appleyard could give a fuck about what company he rides for.

flip is okay by me. i like the brazilians.

Poll
