no pops board in the new wallride catalog

[pica]

so, not a single pops board while gino has six (6!!!) graphics out.

Don't you mean Paps?

I'm still a fan, but it's not all that surprising he would get dropped if he isn't really doing his job to the level he needs to be. Though, Girl/Chocolate guys take care of their own long after their prime, which I have no problem with, so it is a little weird.

Hopefully he's still got stuff in the video.

Why is this a thread, it has been brought up in every Pappalardo thread recently.

I dont think Pops ever fit on that team, even Alex Olson is a stretch.  Biebel, Eldridge, MJ, Mike Mo, Corey Kennedy, Malto, Koston, Roberts. It's jock nation over there.   He's too cool for that team.  Girl/Chocolate has always been the jockest team in skateboarding, they have this fantasy that theyre not every once in a while starting with Sheffey. They''ve tried to brand themselves as well rounded over the years with B.A., McCrank, and now Berle and Raven but they are always gonna be the cleancut skate jocks. They're not Lennie Kirk, Ethan Fowler, Fred Gall, Sean Sheffey, Wade Burkitt, Tim Upson, Heath Kirchart, Julien Stranger,  etc.

[sid vicious]

it's just drop 2.....they do a few a year & one-off graphics too,

just read the gino quarter snacks interview, he said girl & choc back whoever until they go off on the wrong path & then drop decks and pay cut, but when there ready to skate again they have there back fully.

.....good dudes.

Every once in a while you have a fantasy that your head isn't stuck firmly up your own ass.

post the gino boards young'n

[hellmanovo]

just because girls image doesn't involve a bunch of 25+ year old dudes smoking bongs, or clips that fade tarantulas and shit in and out of transitions doesn't make them a jock company

pretty much everyone on girl smokes weed....ALOT. they just have that girl look. There all smiley best buds have to be the best at everything, tricks,films,ads etc. jock is appropriate, but they are still rad

Plan B are the jocks of skating.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Plan B are the jocks of skating.

this. girl/chocolate/crailtap gives me the feeling that they all go out together and have chill sessions that end up in doing insane stuff.

plan b gives me the feeling that they all train in their own training facilities and then go out with their filmer/photographer to do the trick, then straight back to the TF.

but thats exactly what happened with the crailtap guys when they were filming for fully flared....and now pretty sweet. and youre gonna say you dont get a jock vibe from crailtap? crailtap is a whole production. the only difference between them and plan b is that plan b doesnt have the kind of marketing crailtap has. i mean, almost all the girl guys have their own TFs....c'mon.

the only real family vibe i get from all of skateboarding is enjoi and maaybe baker but thats it. the word family when associated with any other skateboarding team is very hollow and superficial.

of course it may well be that those guys are doing the whole TF stuff, i just said that thats the vibe i get from them (which means that their marketing technique at least works for me...)

i think that its really hard for larger companies to stay "families", this seems to be the state of things for smaller upstart companies as it seems. which makes sense.
