Basically a thread for skaters who once rode for a company that would surprise a lot of people today.

Totally spaced on this -

WHAT! I nearly spat my drink out over half of these. I must have been oblivious to all non x-games and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater news. When and how long was Lutzka on krooked?! How did Reynolds end up on 4 star?

Billy Marks and The Firm

Appleyard and Reemo being on the same team. Around the time he road for Habitat for like a few months post-Birdhouse.

McCrank being on Birdhouse. Chris Cole on World, but he actually fit pretty well if I remember.

GOKU · « **Reply #18 on:** August 31, 2012, 10:04:11 AM »

Bobby Puleo was on Girl what the fuuuuuck?

How long did that go on for, like a month?

Billy Marks and The Firm

And Frank Gerwer too.

There's no way that Puleo on Girl ad is real. Is it? How?

I vaguely remember hearing a story that PJ Ladd went on a snowboarding trip paid for by Element with the entire team. He was the only one who brought his board with him and he didn't touch a snowboard once. Instead, he skated by himself in the basement of the hotel for the entire trip.

Brown Thunder · « **Reply #21 on:** August 31, 2012, 10:08:24 AM »

reynolds and fourstar wasnt a surprise but Billy marks and Gerwer on the Firm... Lutzka on Krooked and when the fuck did Bobby puelo ride for girl!

Darren Navarrette on JNCO.

I forgot that company even existed. Did they even make normal sized pants, or did he have to wear those floppy raver/rollerblader pants?

bumpnrun · « **Reply #23 on:** August 31, 2012, 10:50:19 AM »

Puleo ad is fake.

Cairo was on MC for a minute.
Danny Way on Blind.
Paulo on Blind between Stereo and Chocolate.

Puleo ad is a fake, he was riding a girl board though that was just a slap photo someone put in that girl ad. go look it up on The Chromeball

happenstance · « **Reply #25 on:** August 31, 2012, 11:46:15 AM »

To respond to a few:
Gerwer was actually on The Firm for a really long time. No surprise but I suppose unknown to many.

I remember Gall mentioned in an interview that he didn't get a pair of those Recs shoes until many years later. He was off pretty fast.

Karl Watson has a pretty cool part in the Duff's video "Wonder Years" that he shares with Dune. Someone stole my copy years ago. If anyone has one I will pay good money for it!

Shiloh Greathouse on Deca.

mccrank riding for birdhouse was odd

berra rode for some Diesel Jeans offshoot for a second

Louie Barletta rode for Skechers I think.

TrainWreck · « **Reply #28 on:** August 31, 2012, 11:54:38 AM »

Reynolds and Muska on Etnies ! (i hope i am not wrong on this one ... )

Worst 411 commercial ever!

Shane Heyl rode for Stereo. Even more odd was Zimbabwe Skateboards.

Chet Thomas on the OG Powell Peralta

Rick Howard on Blockhead

Chad Muska on Maple

Marc Johnson on Channel One Skateboards (90% sure of this - I remember he was on something small and obscure before A-Team)

AVE on both Channel One and 23 skateboards (along with Dill).
