It's a guest model. This has been Grant's desire for WKND all along. Watch their skate talk episode...

I wonder if Krooked was extremely prescient and predicted the death of deck teams and guest boards being the norm. I know it's just Koston right now doing it, but considering the current crop of pros w/o any rush to get back on a company, could be an interesting time for some Key Party level weird collabos

Also, wish Krooked would do more Guest boards (can't bring myself to do the Gonz typo thing)

Is this a guest board? I know he was supposed to be doing something with Guy, but he's on the WKND team page: http://wkndbrand.com/team

I have no idea.....

When you have the comfort of those nike checks you can take the time to help out your friends' growing brand.

Isn't that the irony of Nike/Adidas/Cons - the support they've been giving small/ish deck brands. The great kobayashi maru of skateboarding

A)  I really thought Austyn would be the new guy at WKND

B) He won't be now, no way he wants to tour with Kookston

C) I really thought Old Kooky would have wound up on that Pony Piss company Sovrn

D) Shows what I know, absolutely Nathan about modern Fartston

Adding socks to shoes, what happens when your sock on your Nike gets a hole in it and stinky and crusty?

Wknd dudes are funny but koston thinks that he's funny, he's so cringe worthy, dude went from legend down hill as soon as he was on Instagram, actually since he brought that fart filled skate warehouse with scientologest

Hahaha fart filled warehouse made me laugh a little. Also Eric is one or has experimented with Scientology in the past. He is listed as having completed the Scientology audits or whatever.

kinda hype

the wknd team logo boards are my favourite team decks along with the baker one

hopefully we can get a lot of chill/ cruising around footage of koston now that he's no longer on the ty evans filming regime

Where will Guy go? I'd rather have him back on Girl than s0vRn. Hell I would rather have him on Primitive than s0vRn

This is a hype thing that is getting everyone talking and then they'll announce the guy/koston thing in the next few months. Seems like it's working btw.

i feel like their funny video ideas (stolen or not) are always better than their actual videos.

that johan stuckey kid has an really wide neck. It's like a melon dropped onto a pedestal. You think he's supplementing?

Who's the old man they put on a skateboard? He looks like the kinda guy who might suffer from fat-butt style.

He went to Hawaii with AVE and FA a while ago, they were saying if he wanted to be on he could. It's been a while, but he's real cool with AVE, they bonded over both becoming sober and shit, I wouldn't be surprised if Guy ended up on FA, even though it's been a couple of months of speculation.

That video, cringe worthy all around, not even remotely funny.

I had zero interest in the brand prior, but now I'll never buy a wknd product (let alone a Koston one).

Portions of the skate industry need to die.
