there's more info and clarification about the troubles with Element he had on this one too: http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2011/12/28/the-stuff-you-want-to-know-about-jeremy-wray/

I like Jeremy Wray and all but I just don't see this company lasting long at all. In theory it is nice to start a company but there are already so many independent companies that it is hard to even support another. Stacks just fell and I am sure others are struggling still. Anyways....good luck on that whole thing. Glad they are giving a bro model board to Markavich though.

Best of luck, another shared part from the 2 would be dope

I look forward to some new original Jermey artwork. i always loved that dudes graphics. I had thought that he just naturally became one of the art dudes at element. Sucks that he was in limbo for so long....

PatrickSkateman · « **Reply #6 on:** January 11, 2013, 11:43:38 AM »

They should rename it Wray Wray

Might have to buy my first wall board cuz I'm not sure if he's gonna have 8.5's, but I guess I could e-mail him or something seeing as he's awesome enough to have put his contact info in there. I can't wait for this.

Fuck Element. This dude is still on the site. They have store in Times Square for fucks sake, the can't even kick a minimum wage check to this legend.

Fuck that store. I went there to watch the premiere of the Elementality or some shit and was one of the first people there(The one where Jeremy Wray only had 1 trick). Mike V came in and signed autographs, of which I did not care to obtain. I started at the front of the store and they said they to move out of the way that they were going to have the video on multiple screens. My friends and I up in a clothes rack and they only put it on one screen. Even though there were 2 other screens in plain view from where I was. I ended up having my very own product toss with the shit on the shelves to subside my boredom though.

I wish them best of luck.
This could work if they start small, figure out distribution deal and grow organically.
They should put out small video to promote themselves among younger skateboarders.
Jeremy Wray is still big name in skateboarding, especially among older crowd. I usually buy his or Creagers Bones wheels.

i hope they make it and can build a team of skaters who are truly stoked on progressing, traveling, and just spreading the shred hype.

I feel that i should post this mostly-over looked Wray gem.

Not filled with gnar. Just some good lines.

AssBandit · « **Reply #19 on:** January 16, 2013, 02:31:48 PM »

I'm 100% backing the WAYBRO project. I've always dug his art, and his approach to his brand is what's currently needed in skateboarding. Creativity and quality above all.

Two reasons why he's an idiot though: One, a major corporation is using his name w/o his consent and/or pay. Two, he hasn't sued them for back pay. Hopefully he gets his head out his asshole on those two points and handles his business.

Best of luck to the both of them, and I'll be at my local shop pulling out my hard earned dough for Waybro skateboard products.

Always loved this part. My favourite thing about J.Wray is how he'll do multiple tricks at one spot. As in he'll just rifle off tricks on the same ledge or something. Such a great thing to watch.

TheRealDeal · « **Reply #21 on:** January 16, 2013, 08:19:23 PM »

Plan B should give him a board and put him on Pay Roll...

hankmasterflex · « **Reply #22 on:** January 17, 2013, 02:48:09 AM »

should have just been named Wayans Bros.

i always liked that Jeremy is kinda the whitest dude ever yet he always wore lots of Menace shirts

Ronald Wilson Reagan · « **Reply #26 on:** January 17, 2013, 08:29:04 PM »

Jeremy Wray is the most overlooked legend of the 90's. I can't fucking believe Element did that to him. His footage tapered off because they wouldn't film him? unfuckingbelievable.

Everything he said about Wraybros seems perfect in terms of their approach to the company. I definitely would support them.

Everybody always forgets about the revolution, his part in that video was mind bending:

That 270 fakie smith down a rail is still unreplicated as far as I know

mooraga · « **Reply #27 on:** February 06, 2013, 04:18:57 AM »

If jeremy its out of element... and makin his own company
why the hell he's on the new element skate and create video (not skating...)

Wray is top 3 for me. For me he stood out more than most at the time. Girl lot included.

Did Thrasher ban him? Seems like a Phelps-esque move
