pretty sure Nike just gives him shoes while he's a free agent, but he's not on the team

[Ndsr]

I don't remember seeing much from him this year.  I wonder if he's been hurt

Shit let alone two. I feel his whole go pro get a shoe thing was extremely rushed

This.

And this.

I respect the fact he knows how to do some tricks, but his snails pace and robot style make it hard to stay awake through more than 2 of them.

i like dudes skating. there is no doubt he rips.

but does he deserve a pro shoe?  FUCK NO!

[Tyroneshoelaces]

i was super digging on his footage that appeared when he first got hooked up.  also really liked his strange world footage.


but since then i feel like i can guess exactly what tricks he is going to do...lo and behold.  every damn clip i see is the same.  he does rip though.

[Yu Dum]

I enjoyed his footage when he first came out as well. Hell, I watched his Colour Theory part countless times. But he is very predictable. Very generic. I just can't watch him anymore..

[trannies and mannies]

who isnt on nike these days

[ziggy]

SLAP is a bunch of middle-aged men who hate youth

SLAP is a bunch of middle-aged men who hate me

[shit_for_brains]

Jamie gave him all that shit for the hour he was "hot"

[Nigga]

being a local dude, it's tough for me to hate on tom. but his skating these days is the definition of generic to me. he was tight when he was coming up though

I'm middle aged (relative to skateboarding) and I don't hate Asta. Sometimes I quite enjoy his skating, I would say that recently it has fallen into the generic camp.

nike is picking up all theses dudes, just for the simple fact that no one else can gain any market share against them.  Does it really make sense for them to pick up someone like Ben Raybourn?  No, but they do it so that someone like Emerica or whoever, can't pick them up.  It's two fold.  One, they increase their team/following, etc.  Second, an (admittedly hurting) company possibly loses a shoe sale.  

**the raybourn thing may not be the best example, but the point is that Nike is picking people up, just so that other companies DON'T.  

(you can substitute Asta for Raybourn or Piscopo, or Colden or whoever....they just picked up a bunch of dudes.  The team is like 30 people.)

I don't know if he deserved it or not, but I got both of his pro models and they both skated great, so I'm glad they got made.  The 76 is one of my favorite shoes.
