Damn Shetler on Vision Street Wear after repping the lame new incarnation of World.

I guess a man has to do what he has to do.

Who are the dudes that once had legit careers but are now just barely hanging in there, scraping the very bottom of the sponsorship barrel?

Before seeing Anthony Shetler's new VISION STREET WEAR ad, I would have called out Markovich and the entire Elephant team but now there's a new sheriff in town. Sheriff Shetler of Shitty Sponsorships.

Who else?

[close]

Hendrix, Adams, and Berard are killing it still.  Not a huge Mike V fan, but definitely am a fan of the team he's put together, which is pretty much half of the Black Label team 10+ years ago. 

Read my mind with this response. If anyone slept on Berard's lines in Lee Dupont's cinematographer project clip then they need to get a clue. Berard's gnar switch 360 flip on the WSVT big wall is a far cry of 'barely holding on.'

.

I'm not exactly a Vallely fan either, but the Elephant team is sick. Adding Hendrix was a good move and solidified the team's radness.

Some mentioned Duffy but [in the same Lee Dupont clip] his back lip through the tight corner and front crook over the love seat were both tricks that are impressive by any standards.

Fuck this thread. It's just an excuse to make unfounded judgements about people's lives, when they are out trying to make a living doing what they love while you have nothing better to do than sit around and talk shit about them on the internet. Get a life.

So if this man approached you, asked you to ride for his brand & cut you a check, you would decline?



Note: I don't even know if this guy still owns it or if this is even him, but it illustrates the point at hand.

I bet most of the people talking shit would cream their proverbial jeans to get paid to skate (see the dichotomy here).

[southsecond]

i think it's cool that mike v gives some of the older guys a home, skating needs legends in the game & it's not as if they demand massive salaries, but a chance to still get boards & make a little from royalties is awesome. i'd rather watch markovich over any new jack on darkstar or blind anyday.

shetler on the other hand is still in his prime and officially in the suffering booth reppin' vision street wear.

You know what? You're totally right. Well put.

You obviously don't understand what the Slap forum is.

Is that Dorfman 2014?

Not that it matters, but dude has more posts than you. Regardless, that's a stupid response.

[Rockin Robbin]

I was really hoping this was going to be a thread about people landing gnarly tricks and just barely hanging on to them. Or people going for super long grinds and slides and just barely hanging on.

But no, this is Slap, so it has to be about who doesn't deserve to be pro

Nike and Heroin is the bottom ?

I'd consider Heroin the B squad of Baker and Deathwish. As for Nike, have they ever dropped a rider?

Were you asleep when they cut Peter Hewitt and the internet and industry went nuts talking shit about him getting cut for smoking weed.

Man, he got cut for shitting on a dudes face that was covered in saran wrap. If they cut riders for smoking weed they'd lose there latest SOTY, Cory Kennedy and probably other amazing skaters who aren't as obvious with there love for the weed. Not saying they should of kicked Hewitt off, but what they kicked him off for was much more understandable than saying he spent his checks on nug.

You're right, it doesn't matter. Regardless, the guy is complaining about someone "talking shit" on the internet? Has he ever heard of the internet? Nice response from you, though. Well done.

[yeahmmm]

What is the story behind Angel Ramirez? 

[mooraga]

[McGooch]

So whats up with vision footwear? wasn't it a legit company back in the day? and what was so bad about it that the Gonz created Blind because it was the opposite of vision?

[doomstation55]

The best barely hangin on landings were always Dollin, particularly the second to last trick here that gnarly crook.
