skaters who went from flow to pro

[oyolar]

Ben raybourn is the correct answer to this thread.

Except he was am and pro for 1031, then back to am for Slave for a little bit before turning pro for them.  So your answer was super wrong.

How about pro to no. Andrew Langi and Darrell Stanton.

Langi was never pro.



Seriously though,

He was AM for a local company (pretty much the stepping stone for 90% of the pros) and then AM for such a small amount of time that he fits the flow to pro category.  fuck me for wasting time arguing on the internet...

[Steezy Jeffrey]

Raybourne can do anything- so sick . But yeah was pro pretty quick.

[layzieyez]

Was Chris Branaugh am for World before being turned pro?

[straight]

bet sierra wish he kept the product

Garvey, well deserved and he has his name in Hecox lettering.

You're joking, right?  This thread is about people who never were am.  You can't just ignore that people were am at some point and say shit like, "That company doesn't count." or "It wasn't long enough."  The fact is Raybourn was OFFICIALLY am for two companies before going pro so he doesn't fit "flow to pro."

[poopnutsupreme]

I'm really stoked to see that Forrest has been the only one to truly go from flow to pro.

[spool of cord]

i hope fred gall did get that 15k/annual killer check!

[mtvic]

Pj was damn close.  I think he may of had one ad for element, technically making him an am.  Then he quit, dropped the best part of all time and went pro immediately for flip!


Of course let us not forget the numerous YouTube pros.  Nothing like gunning for Doug brown.

[Madam, I'm Adam]

I saw one ad from PJ as well, it was a sequence of a halfcab heelflip noseslide nollie heelflip out in the middle of a ledge.  And he was also in a team photo ad.

Does anyone know if Alex Chalmers went from being on flow for Flip to having a pro board after Sorry came out? I know I saw a Flip ad w/ his board on it. Or was he listed as an am for them beforehand?

In one of Skateboarder's Top Ten Things You Didn't Know About... columns, one mentioned that if you have $50K you could turn yourself pro since there's no official regulator of professional ranks, or something to that extent. I wasn't sure why you needed $50K, probably to make your own boards. So that might have happened somewhere.

[shit_for_brains]

Didn't Vinnie Vegas go flow to pro to hobo?

[oyolar]

He was am for Birdhouse.

[shouldn't]

vinnie vegas sounds more like a pornstar name.

he was on falcon skates too

Brent Actchley rank skipped. Not flow to pro, but Satori gave him a pro wheel before he had a board, so Element felt obligated to give him one after

[DannyDee]

I feel some of the EMB guys were never am and went straight to pro as Henry was pro for Real before he was even on Blind. Pretty sure Arto was turned pro really quick after moving to the States.

I always thought with Arto it was so they could get him in contests with his name on a board ASAP. Same with Bastien.

Yeah he was on for a while before that part, maybe Canadian am or something but he was on.  That guy was the shit, super impressive at any terrain.

Rob never went pro bobier was on since zero started and Steve Durante deserved the pro nod and besides the fact he was am for habitat I doubt his checks are hefty

he was introduced to the team right when welcome to hell dropped and went straight to pro. i don t think he was on anything before that.

[Rusty_Berrings]

Elissa Steamer I believe went from flow to pro according to that thrasher radio interview someone posted on here a while back.

someone just posted an interview with chalmers from the sorry era. he says he is pro but never had a pro model(at the time). it sounds weird to me
