Good opportunity for Filament to pick up some people  :D



Seriously though, Ride The Sky was a good video. Never bought the shoes, but I sure as shit watched that video and bought a lot of Zero boards when I liked jumping down stairs.

Everyone on Nike SB

Jamie could go back to C1rca
Burman on vans I could see or #NB with his bestfriend Jake Hayes and Arto
Dickson on emerica
Slash maybe cons with Baca and Nuge

End of the the day people need to buy skate brands and fuck Nike, Cons, Adidas, New Balance

Most people calling people sellouts are all wearing Nike SB and cons and Adidas

So did business man Jamie kill Jamie's life, zero next?

Or will someone start up a company

Ride The Sky is one of my fav videos

I have a black pair of Fallen Fortes that are made out of synthetic nubuck. After 10-15 kickflips, the side tore a shitload, so I just used them as chillers. I wore them earlier today, but now I'm going to keep them in my box of skateboarding memorabilia.

I think the fact that Jamie Thomas started the thread is proof enough.

Oh shit......I just noticed that.


I think it's just odd that a company like Fallen goes out of business but then Osiris and Circa still are. I can still see Fallen pull an Es and revamp their lines after a couple of years. I am sure dumping all the pro skaters saves on salary. Just start out small again and maybe that would be more profitable.

Oh man, that sucks but I kinda saw it coming. Trends change!

I wish Jamie and all the guys behind Fallen nothing but the best.

I was probably the epitome of a Zero kid in my early years - Misled Youth was a big influence.  I kind of 'graduated' out of that phase but will always have a ton of respect and gratitude for Jaime and his impact on skateboarding.  I know, skateboarding doesn't owe anybody anything etc, but I hope it takes care of him anyway - he earned it.

Sandoval on Emerica
Dickson on Emerica/Cons
Everybody else is fucked. I haven't owned a pair of Fallens in a couple years but they always had my favorite aesthetic and team.

Guess you could say another core company has... Fallen.

Honestly, it wouldn't matter if people did, its come to a point where I'm seeing more and more independant skate stores quit on selling shoes period, there's simply no point for them any more as everyone know's that skate companies make their money outside of skateboarding... Every 'Core' Skate shoe company has had its time in the limelight of commercial success over the years, but that era is over and it has come down to commercial shoe companies now making shoes for skateboarding as just a small sector of what is massive conglomerate, a commercial company that realistically doesn't need to make skateboarding shoes to pay the bills, but does it for the sake of opening opportunity and obviously the extra money for them in this market. Skate shoe companies were idolised for the ways they went about their approach & business for years, but for a major show company, this shit's just a walk in the park for them...

I hate to to y'all and its something I've told many a customers since our little store has cut shoe brands down to simply stocking Vans, DC & Emerica as of recent, but skate shoes are now no longer a part of the skate industry.

I'm assuming Osiris and Circa are owned by business people.....Fallen was a company owned by a really good skateboarder.....

Small....shoe brand....profitable?  That shit don't mix......

how many more seasons does E's have?

Burman is one of my favorites but I don't see anybody picking him up. Maybe Vans through the Dollin connect? I feel bad for Cervantes, he'll probably just be flow from here on out

Emerica doesn't usually get established pros on their team... Hsu must be the only exception in the past 15 years. That being said I realistically see Dixon going to c1rca and maybe Sandoval on... DC* ? Nobody's hiring hesh/gnarly rail riding dudes anymore.
