I was reluctant about FA at first, but after stepping on a friend's board I loved the shape and now I want one.

[close]

It's a Workshop board...same wood...same shapes.

As for the brand, they have ended up being cooler than I thought. However I feel like they putting a lot on their plate too quickly. They currently have 4 pros another dude who will expect to be turned pro soon and how many ams? Nakel, Sage, Sean, Tyshawn, that other kid...

I also feel like its their thing to be super subtle to keep people always wanting more and never giving it. That may work or may just get old after awhile. I don't think they plan on having an official team, like listing them anywhere some dudes might not be into that. The company is still very new and has a long way to go but ultimately I'm psyched on it, not on everything they do and especially not the name but it seems like they are offering something cool to the skateboard world.

[close]

who is that?

He probably means Kevin Bradley who had a sick part in the Cliche video last year, footage in the supreme video and will probably go pro if he has a part in chronicles 3. Kid is sick.

[Mr. Kamikazi]

I am currently skating a Terpening board and I love it. I'm stoked on FA and will continue to buy their boards. Also, the fact that no one in my area likes FA gives me all the more reason to buy them. The hate is fuel for me and I am sure it is the same for the FA guys.

Embossed blanks? What did I miss. I check up on skate life stuff all the time but this baffles me. My girlfriend knows what embossed means but how does her world collide with mine? What's happening here?

I love Dylan's skating but his thoughts are nothing short of laughable.

Out of ALL people, he's talking about not giving a fuck what other people think? As if EVERY single thing he does isn't a calculated move to portray a certain image whether it be his clothing or his skating. You can't be part of a shitty fucking DKNY ad and then come back to the skate world and talk about how raw you are and how much you don't give a fuck about what other people think.

Also, FA>Bianca Chandon. While there are many similar qualities to the two brands, FA at least has some sort of discernible character/image. Bianca is literally like a collage of other people's ideas (he couldn't even think of a name so he used someone's actual name, LOL), I forgot who said it, but somebody on here said something like AO's brand is Tumblr skateboards and he was right on the money.

That being said, I also really like FA's team so far so that's one reason to support. If they started coming out with more product that was cheaper (which is probably never going to happen), I'd be way down with the brand.

[close]

The way I see it, that's a fine example of not giving a fuck what other people think

[close]

The way FA doesn't give a fuck and the way Dylan "doesn't give a fuck" are very different. In order to be as into fashion as he is, you gotta be very superficial. The whole basis for being a model is caring what other people think about how you look to the extent you actually want people to be looking at you all the time. Meaning he in fact gives a huge fuck about his image, thus negating the idea he doesn't give a fuck. Big difference between FA not giving a fuck and fucking with the conventions of the skateboard industry and Dylan not giving a fuck about what we think about him being obsessed with something as superficial as the fashion/modeling industry.

[close]

Do you ever have legit arguments with yourself because you're too dumb to come up with an intelligent opinion? The whole basis of being a model is actually the same as being a professional skateboarder. You make something look cool so other people will buy it. This whole argument about people caring or not caring is fucking stupid.

[close]

You're confusing wanting someone to model your gear so you can create ads (the purpose of the idea of modeling) and actually wanting to be a model. Huge difference.

And you know dylan.'s motivation for going on photoshoots how?  How do you know his girlfriend or friends in the fashion world didn't just say, "Hey man, you wanna get paid for wearing some clothes and getting photos taken of you?"  You don't know if he actively sought out an opportunity or if he's just capitalizing on the opportunities given to him.

Or is it easier to just rely on stereotypes?

[raider]

who the fuck wouldn't take pictures and make money if they were able to?

i have the dill FA board and its great. better than the weak ass stereo board i got

[piece of shit, straight up.]

Embossed blanks? What did I miss. I check up on skate life stuff all the time but this baffles me. My girlfriend knows what embossed means but how does her world collide with mine? What's happening here?

You don't have a girlfriend you faget.

[trannies and mannies]

they included a bootleg copy of Idiocracy with the terp board, so i back FA. good move for dylan..

god damn some of you morons are as shitty as the jocks i wished had picked on you when you were growing up so you could actually appreciate some sort of individuality. (clowning Dill and Dylan for dressing the way they do? Who gives a fuck!) Even if it conflicts with what you think is 'cool'. fucking skateboarding...


edit: commence kooking duties.

[EXTRA SPICY]

i hate how everyone tries to give these fuckers shit for being into what they wear while they act like the Welcome kids or SF tranny-heshers in Dickies, Vans, flannels and trucker hats or NYC dudes in baggy sweats and throwback Starter jackets are any different.

If you're mixing crete with us, you're good in my books.
If you're not...


welcome to slap.

This is the same genius mentality that brought the world "I heart haters" hats. Why would someone not being into your idea or your whateverthefuck possibly be a motivating factor? Do what you do, or be into what you're into, not because someone else hates it; that's just a stupid reason. You're stupid. Quit being so stupid, stupid.

[fickdiepolizei666]

So $32.00 T-shirts, $15.00 stickers, and $90.00 hoodies are the future of skateboarding?

it's all made in america, not some cheap asian sweatshop shit

[Hatechild]

since when do am's get paid?? maybe for ads or contests but they have no product out. unless im wrong

Since the 90's. Every major AM is getting paid by his board, shoe and clothing sponsor at least.

As long as he kept his mouth shut....

Are you serious? 90$ for a flat black hoody is fucking stupid. It makes me hate this company from the get-go. American Apparel (also made in USA) makes the best threads and they're way cheaper.
