I don't know where I saw it but I saw a picture recently of prod about to skate that triple set that Jeremy wray killed and it was tagged #skateafaritours so maybe people are actually skating these spots and they charge people to watch?

And Nike does not own Skate Mental.

can someone set me straight on this: does nike own skate mental as in skate mental is a separate entity where nike controls the board,  or is skate mental nike.  As in Skate mental employees are nike employees.
 Also has skate mental ever existed without nike or is it a creation of nike inc?

shit confuses the fuck out of me

[alka-seltzer]

i always thought skate mental was part of crailtap.

Throw enough shit at the wall and see what sticks.

for fun, not sure they even make sense.

SM is to Nike as Bungie is to Microsoft
SM is to Nike as a ho to a pimp.
SM is to Nike as Mexico is to America- an unwanted evil that is necessary to control the masses-ie drugs and cheap labor without the responsibility of ownership.
SM is to Nike as clown is to a circus.

brad has a friend at nike (not sure that specific friend is even there anymore) that was helping him run skate mental as a favor. nike doesnt own skate mental. works out for nike because most of the guys on skate mental are wearing nikes.

I definitely wonder this. If any actual skate company was doing shit this lame they'd be out of business yesterday, but somehow the most evil company to have anything to do with skating gets a free pass.

PayPal me $300, I've got 4 tickets.

[Deekay]

Its weird.. Its a joke thats super vague, is that whats supposed to be funny? Someone on nike blew it on this one

So did I. I've never heard of Nike controlling them before.
