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

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.

who is that?

[close]

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.

[close]

Nope.

[close]

couldve sworn terp said on instagram "its gonna be Naks shape"

[close]

either TMKF is just joshing us (pardon my salty language) or he's got some insider information...hmmmm

"Micky682: @kevterp is this Crockett's shape? @cee_blues
Kevterp:@micky682 nak's shape but yeah"

[oyolar]

Simple mistake.  Terp meant NAC's shape.  From Street Dreams.

[Spaced Cadet]

I liked FA back when it was just Dill and that other guy (can't remember who the fuck it was) making shirts for their friends but then selling them at high prices to anyone willing to buy them. I never wanted to pay $30+ for a shirt back then but I still liked what they made. At first I didn't like the idea of FA becoming a board brand but I think with Dylan, Terps, and everyone (Minus Sean Pablo. I still think his style is completely contrived and makes it hard to even watch him skate) is making for a solid team.

I have to ask though...

Does anyone remember that Fucking Awesome promo Dill and that other guy did years ago? I asked before and I don't think anyone knew what I was talking about. Im not sure if it even had any skating in it but I remember thinking it was really crazy. I remember it having a scene from like an 80s porno with a chick sucking a dudes dick. I would love to see that shit again now that FA has blown up. If push comes to shove I may have to try and find my old laptop and see if I saved it, but someone has to know what I'm talking about right?

[spool of cord]

aha, my friend bought a FA shirt in like 2006 from (I think) that little skateshop in alphabet city that isn't around anymore. It was yellow and said 'Fucking Awesome' all over it in green print. It was a pretty ugly shirt, but it was Dill's so it was supposed to be super cool. I bet if he still had that shirt he could sell it to someone on here for 100+ $

[krookedjuice]

I have a few things from when FA was around before, and it's weird because I think I paid maybe 70$ for a hoodie and two tees. and now the same hoodie I have is more than that.

I think I remember it, it was well edited and had ESG's "UFO" as part of the soundtrack. The guy you're thinking of is probably Mike Piscitelli who works w/ Dill. That's why I think brands like FA and Bianca can go far, b/c of the talented people surrounding them. Piscitelli is a director/visual artist, Alex Olson is friends with the DJ Eric Duncan who compiled Mouse's soundtrack, etc.

Thats who it is. Mike Piscitelli. That dude seems to do a lot of high profile work too.
Also, apparently the Hof is a FA fan. Probably been posted on here before but still funny.

[Laban Fetus]

I'm pretty sure Mike Piscitelli is still behind the scenes doing a lot of the work. They just changed the face of the brand from him and Dill to Dill and AVE.

[David Puddy]

They need to remake that Dash Snow logo shirt

AVE and some of the kids are kinda making it lame with all the social networking though(odd future shares the load as well).  Dill and Mike had some really cool stuff in the beginning of FA when it really small amounts and it wasn't advertised.   If it stayed more of a mystery i would like it even more than i already do imo.

Hipster.

bet the money has been coming in ever since

[skateordie]

no, they don't.

dill riding dash's coattails to show us how ny he is, is really pathetic.

dill's an orange county skater, first and foremost. which is totally cool. he's just gotta accept it, and deal w/ the fact that he's not OG ny. no big deal, we're all still fans. get off this dude's nuts, and let him RIP.

dill is A1 Meats, not Shut. A1 Meats>Shut- why would he shun it?

[Vibes of skating rocks]

Funny a lot of you act like you don't care about Dylan/ FA but anytime a topic is brought up on either they get more views than any other topic. So stop the hiding in the closet shit and admit you love both of these.

I just like the design of the shirt, I'm sorry I didn't realize the greater implications of it 

[Cosme]

Oh boy, A1 Meats was rad. Such memories...

For a guy who says he gets NO ideas for FA from the internet, Dill makes a lot of shirts from images on the internet.

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

Blanks they used/are using for their tees are AA2001.

My interpretation of Dill's ramblings on this subject were that the inspiration for what's on his shirts, boards, etc...are not derived from the internet age.  You'd be hard pressed not to find images on the internet of EVERYTHING imaginable, whether generated there or not.

It seems obvious that Fucking Awesome is a direct bleed off of Dill's past collage work and photobooks.

That's a pretty perfect looking noseblunt.

He looks like he could have grown up to be Brandon Wesgate.....instead we get stuck with this rambling knob....

[pointandclick]

Speaking of styles and kind of off topic, I saw that Yoon did a tre flip photo session on the Berrics. You can literally tell who has odd style and who has a natural one just from their pics.

fully agree that those ones sucked. there are others that i liked though.

I see what you're saying but he's still kind of a hypocrite. I'm a fan but I still have to call him out on that one....He says "I don't find things on the computer"..that's an absolute statement (though when he says it, that crucifix is hanging on his wall so that image gets a pass) he didn't say "I get MOST of my material from outside of the internet"..the shirt with the kid getting hit by the car is a pretty well known live leak video. it's also in a in a skate video..I highly doubt that that was derived from a source other than the internet..they don't play that kind of shit on CNN I just think he should be able to stay true to his word given that it's the first batch of T-shirts.  If it were a few months later I'd let it slide but it's the first batch and he's already contradicted himself.

[Spaced Cadet]

Just saw this shirt on Black Sheep's website. Thought it was pretty funny.

[givecigstosurfgroms]

kay so if FA is so "wack" and this and that,  wtf are you comparing them to that is out there that stands in contrast - nothing's THAT sick.  The company's Dill so if you think he sucks, fine but to me that just means no body is happy with anything on the internet and it must be 2014 (i bet alot kids on this forum are as good as pros anyway)

[oyolar]

Welcome, Polar, Magenta, Isle, and Palace (to name a few) are better that Fucking Awesome right now.
