I'd also like to clarify something about my last post in this.
Love love love York and Maldanado! And KT was one of the most surprisingly amazing skaters I've seen in person, dude was sick!
but, kids are not going to care and none of you fucks that think they're rad still are gonna buy axtions so......
I'm just saying build up the team with some guys that kids care about and then start bringing the older guys on trips when the money and team are solid.
that's all
Well, with Santiago and Kyle Nicholson, those are two young very good skaters. Nicholson isn't mainstream popular yet, but Santiago is pretty well known around the skate world. Nicholson is easily one of the top 5 best Ams out there at the moment. Twix and KT are still skating hard, and if you've watched Axion's tour footy you'd see that. They're going out on tour and skating as hard as the rest of the team, they're not milking anything. Mike is 36 years old and I believe KT is about 40 now, believe it or not.
So the fact they're skating as hard as they are, deserves some credit. I'm not saying they should get free passes, just saying they're out there busting their asses just like everyone else, and from what I hear Mike's axion part/commercial is coming out pretty soon.
You know it's not like they just got a spot on the team because they're old, Mike's mag minute came out the same time he got on Axion, and KT had a good bit of footage in his Axion commercial when they introduced him to the team. So it's not like it was like "oh, Maldonado and KT haven't had any footy out at all recently and they got a spot on a shoe company, they're milking it". So, I gotta say I think you're being a little hard on them, they're both out there still ripping.
