converse site keeps loading then redirected to a flash 404. sons of bitches.

that pops clip is fucking killing me.

Good move for Cons. Pops will be sponsor-less by the end of the year, not that he gives a shit or anything.

switch wallie tailslide was cool. hope they get some more team upgrades soon, backing the cons product.

CONS showing how much of a failure their skate program is by axing almost their entire original team. The only good thing they've ever done is get Kenny Anderson back on. How many dudes were getting flow from Cons that should've been on and weren't while they were supporting useless piles? Fuck the list is endless....then they add Jason Jessee? Who gives a shit about that guy? He shouldn't be wearing anything but Vans at his age....

This is cool for Manderson but I just don't see the Cons skate program lasting another 2 years with the people they have running shit over there.

You know they shut down the whole operation in costa mesa and moved it to andover MA/NYC, in the process the let nearly everyone go. So they are essentially starting over.

I'm not trying to knock Jason Jessee, but why get rid of Pops and Fowler just to add another old pro that people like for what they did, not what they're currently doing?

brownjenkin · « **Reply #20 on:** May 23, 2012, 04:13:15 PM »

I dunno how Pops could have been cashing those cheques and not felt like a total piece of shit. I'm sure he made a lot of money off of "skateboarding" without actually skateboarding these last few years.

While I can totally see where you're coming from, Jason Jesse has a pretty good sized and loyal following and anything he does do or put out is rather well received. Also, he's heavily backed by NHS and nearly every pro who's been around for a while.

I'm sure if you asked Mike Anderson what he thought, he'd be fucking stoked to have Jason on.

Manderson is a good edition. If Cons was smart, they would make some room for this Ribeiro kid coming up.

what the fuck was pops even trying in that clip? jesus that was embarrassing, dude should stick to making miniature tables in zebra print and shit

the trapasso 2's look fucking amazing. the first ones skated real real well. cant wait for the second

hyped for mike anderson, been watching that dude since his 411 part a few years back.

i dont think the cons program is a complete failure at all though wtf is this guy talking about? cuz they threw away crackhead ramirez and baca they are a failure of a program?! kenny anderson, eili reed, nick trapasso, mike anderson etc...opposite of failing, bud

Their original team was Anthony Pappalardo, Ethan Fowler, Sammy Baca, Nick Trappasso & Raymond Molinar, shortly after they added Angel Ramirez and that Tom Remillard dude. They had an endless roster of sick dudes on their flow program who should've been added at the time but they were wasting their money on these piles and letting the other dudes pick up other shoe sponsors. Finally after 2 years they see their errors and fix them but as I said many of the sick dudes they had on flow have new sponsors now so it's too late that is the failure. Then they go and waste more money by adding Jason Jessee, I just see this continuing to be a disaster that's all. I also gave credit where it was due with Kenny Anderson that was a step in the right direction for Cons but they sort of stopped there. I hope I'm wrong for the sake of the sick dudes who ride for Cons, I just see it being a sinking ship.

AssBandit · « **Reply #24 on:** May 23, 2012, 05:15:40 PM »

Good riddance to bad rubbish. I hope all the best to Ethan and Pops, but fuck you if you don't want to skate! Getting paid for lifestyle hammers are reserved for the very few...

Manderson on the other hand is an exterminator.

I find it kind of ironic that Jason Jessee would skate for Cons after being on Consolidated. Oh well, whatever.

I'd like to have this board to hang

I feel like cons are gonna sell no matter who is on the team--shoes like the cts and star players are classics

sprayTAN101 · « **Reply #28 on:** May 23, 2012, 07:06:12 PM »

doesnt pops have one of the most popular shoes on cons?!

will they still stock it under a new name or get rid of it? maybe he's just of the team but still affiliated?
like if nike kicked of janoski and his shoe, what would happen?

R. D. Pullman · « **Reply #29 on:** May 23, 2012, 07:15:29 PM »

change the name and keep selling it. happens all the time
