What pro's board would you never buy?
« on: September 17, 2015, 11:46:38 AM »
I saw a kid carrying a Koston board today as I was walking through one of the buildings at work and thought to myself that I'd never buy a Koston board because all the memories I have from him over the past 3 or 4 years are all about his dickhead social media presence. I ignore all of it unless it gets posted on here, but I've seen and heard enough that my opinion of him has gone almost completely negative. He's a legend and always will be, but I still think he's a dickhead and I'd never buy his board.


Also, I don't think anyone needs to bother mentioning Furby's name. We know nobody buys his shit.

Dude I saw a 52 year old guy with a Koston board one time. He did seem to be having fun on it.

If Cody Cepeda got a board I would sure as hell not buy it.

Also Greg Lutzka, Chad Fernandez (pro still?), Adam Dyet, Nyjah Huston, Kelvin Hoefler or whatever just no, and SINNER. That should do it for now..


EDIT: Pretty much anyone on Plan B besides Pj.

I don't hate these folks, but I surely can't identify myself with their products, so I'll never purchase them.  :P

I have this thing against riding pro model boards.... Idk, every time I buy a board I really try not to buy a pro model, and to this point I haven't. I would though if I was getting a really good deal.

Order of importance, from most to least:
Shape(size of nose + tail, concave, wheelbase, etc), width, brand, the graphic, who's name is on the board.

Anyone who hasn't lived up to the hype or comes off as an arrogant or cocky prick.

TK, PJ, Kalis, Koston, Oyola, Greco, Stevie, Neen, Dill, J Casanova, Twuan........... The list goes on and on. At the end of the day ill never have a pro board so there only so much i can hate on, at least until their careers are over and they are out there starting a Gofundme account.

I will never buy the same board as someone who uses nearly the reverse order of this. So basically Koston, Nyjah, Sheckler, revive...

Yep, apparently Mike V's board I'll never end up buying since he presses all his shit at PS Stix and I'll break it in a half an hour. BUY AMERICAN MADE. Canadian made is okay too but I'm bumping into it practically never. Pros who's boards I WILL BUY? Anyone on a US Made company.

I skated two Chima decks in a row. Most of my friends and acquaintances are black; I live in Baltimore. I'd rather judge an individual based on character rather than stupid bullshit.
