Antwuan Dixon going to jail for 1 year

[ghettoD]

Deathwish took his board away....

[cant stop]

^I meant that Deathwish will keep Antwuan's board around for a while, just like they did with Mariano in late 90's early 2000's.  Not that Mariano has the best selling board.

Yeah, maybe they keep selling his old pro boards. But like I said earlier in this thread, in the new Deathwish catalog, all pros had new pro boards except for Antwuan. So something is up.

Is this exactly what Baker/Deathwish had planned out all along?  I mean they said, lets just not say anything, let the buzz build........
And every once in a while we might get some hints....

well, why would they put their names on them then? so that they know, which board belongs to who. bang, no crying at the spot because somebody skated the wrong board. pro-skaters do shit for a reason.

I guarantee they're gonna let him fade into obscurity.  Out of sight, out of mind.  How many other celebrities (and I don't just mean skateboarding) have been on top of the world, only to disappear two years later??

If he makes a comeback, they'll hype him up again, say they always had his back and all that shit.  But if this is it, then he's gone, and it's alot easier that way.  World's a fuckin' harsh place kids.

[close]

you're probably wrong. they'll have his back either way.  as long as he keeps making them money

[close]

[close]

^This is the truth.  They'll keep his pro board around for awhile.  It's probably Death Wish's best seller.  Kinda like GIRL with Mariano.  But I doubt they'll say a whole lot about his personal problems, and in a few years (if that) when kids don't really know who that crazy Antwuan guy is, and most of us don't really remember ("whatever happened to that guy...?" kinda thing) his board will disappear from pro line up.

I'm not wishing for bad things from him.  Here's hoping he gets his shit together.  But I'm just saying it's not really too likely.

whats weird to me is that for some reason you guys can only see him as antuwan the cash cow and not antuwan the friend that all the baker/deathwish guys skated and chilled with for years.   as if its not possible that a bunch of guys thatve been there would look out for their own fade pedler and would only opt to kill his body and milk his corpse instead of giving him a helping hand. i dont know. i think its sad.

 and i think its even weirder that some people think that reynolds only vested interest in the dude is as a marketing tool because that doesnt really speak to how bakers been doing it for the past 10 years. hes not just some dude theyre gonna use and throw away. hes their dude. faded or not.  i really dont think itll be a girl type of deal like with sheffy or mariano. for sure they'll help him out when he gets out of jail and youll see him everywhere again doing his thing again. watch and wait.

i sure hope you?re right. i remember the feeling when marianos part in fully flared started, it was so fucking awesome.

Antwaun going to jail is the biggest miscarriage of justice since the Fat Boys went for jail for trying to curb their insatiable hunger.

Clever as all get out.

Also funny "fade pedler", which actually should be spelled 'fade peddler'', but I liked it all the same.

i dont know, watching that epicly later'd it seemed like reynolds and antwan aren't that close. he did mention he only talks to him occasionally and something about how he'd only have to film a few tricks and he could make money ass a pro skater for a 'really long time'.
antwan as a marketing gimmick is undeniable and i do think it's possible that theyd let this nigga slip throgh the cracks indefinately-i'd hope not but even the recent tharsher first look was telling when Lizard made the sarcastic comment about antwan having a lot of footage. at this point i do kinda question the family aspect of the bakerboys or whatever-at least in terms of antwan being a close member.

I think for the most part, they do try to keep that family aspect going.  But if Antwuan hasn't been out skating, which he obviously hasn't from all the stories going around, then he's sort of removed himself from the Baker/Deathwish family.  I'm sure they cared about him on a personal level a lot when he first got on the team.  But people drift away from each other.  And it seems to me that those guys don't really have a whole lot to do with Antwuan anymore.  Is that his fault, or the Baker guys fault...who knows??  But either way, he isn't around anymore.  And like I said, out of sight, out of mind.

[CigaretteBeer]

It's funny how everyone has all these different theories about Antwuan and speculate whether or not the Baker dudes actually care about him or if they're cut throat business men just using him to sell a few more boards. None of you people have any clue what goes on besides what you see in videos and a bit of gossip you get to read on a forum.

[krewkruxklan]

how is this funny at all?
did you not start this thread based on gossip and speculation?

[TheFreshSC]

Still waiting for somebody to bump this thread with further factual details

[NowhereInLife]

fact 1. nobody knows what in the green blazes is going on.
fact 2. free A.D.

[Giovanni Falcone]

I don't know what's going on an no offense I don't think anybody cares. But going by your guy's word on him not having as many board graphics as the other dudes, maybe his sales are generally down. If his sales were up and he was going to jail then fuck it, sell his boards if shit is moving. That would entail what you guys are saying that they are just making money off his image.

But if his sales are down, then cut back some of the graphics. That makes sense.

If that is the case, his sales are down, AND he is going to jail; then this would be an indication of a massive downward spiral of one of the most stylish dudes having a 15 minutes of fame type career.

Cannot wait to hear the verdict. And to see the Deathwish video...

[sixpackoftablets]

In 2025, when Epicly Later'd is beamed directly to your brain in 2millionP 3D, the "Where Are the Adicts Now" episode about Antwuan(sp) will be a fun 15 minutes.

[LesbianPUNCH]

I spent three days in jail about two weeks ago, and I think he'll fit in just fine.  But man, one year.  Three days and I almost lost my mind completely.  Good luck, if this is true.

No it is not gossip or speculation. It 100% happened brother
