This company was affiliated with aws and hbitat , when they shut down someof the riders switched over to aws. Anyone know why they shut down. I had a rob dydrek pro model with shiny graphics that flaked off., I personally thought the decks were dope and was bummed when they closed.

Always hoped Carolino would have gone pro for them. That guy has the worst board sponsor luck.

I was so stupid that AWS rejected them as team riders after seek was gone

I'm bummed Ted DeGros faded out of the spotlight. I was always super hyped on everything he put out.

stevie rode for seek for exactly one day before going back to chocolate, then leaving to start DGK.

Back then, he was known as "Mike Taylor"

I remember having one of their board, good quality

Ted DeGros wasn't on Seek. He was am for AWS.

Bertie · « **Reply #14 on:** February 21, 2012, 11:30:51 AM »

Sorry, but who the fuck was ever psyched on SEEK?
It had no identity whatsoever. Just seemed like a safe, boring place to put riders who ripped but they didn't feel like they could represent properly.

I had a few Kalis seek boards back then, i always thought the company and boards were good. Didnt they make the decks with chrome or silver around the edges?

Greg Myers still skates
I'm sure he still gets free product to
last I heard he was blazing heavy playing call of duty all day

DaSk8D00D · « **Reply #21 on:** February 21, 2012, 04:09:25 PM »

i remember seek i always thought they were pretty cool. they were like a more "street" version of AWS.

Bertie · « **Reply #22 on:** February 21, 2012, 04:36:41 PM »

that's kind of what i don't get. alien didn't need a 'street' alternative. alien was a collage of different styles before then, look at photosynthesis and you've got dill, ave, kalis, dyrdek and pappalardo. different music, different spots, different kinds of skaters - it worked perfectly. then they get kalis and dyrdek over to seek. for what? was the weakest move and hurt the alien aesthetic for a while. seek was tacky and nondescript. dgk is a proper home for kalis, seek's aesthetic just refused to embrace the market it seemed to be targeting.

This has been discussed so many times it's ridiculous. The art directors and graphic designers at DNA couldn't keep up with all three of the companies at once, so they eventually got overworked and had to scrap Seek.

didn't knew that
That is a really stupid reason to shut down a brand, I always throught it was cause of low board sales

Yeah, that was probably part of it too, but the art director thing was the reason DNA gave Kalis according to his Quartersnacks interview.
