BA's boyfriend looks like a bald Watson.

You obviously don't know what I look like. I am bald, dummy.

Plus he clearly lacks elbow and knee nips.

I've only seen you with a beanie on.,

Also what if the 18 is delaying his board because they don't want it to look like they're just cashing in on his coming out.

[close]

A lot can be said about the 18. But I don't think the desire to "cash in" would be one of them. I mean, they run ads like this:



Gnarliest skate company, ever. But agreed, it would be good if they dropped something just as means of say, "BA, we got your back." Sponsoring the first out pro is also a game changer. Considering they already did the Grosso deck, and just how raw AH is, it does seem like the perfect fit.

I realize antihero wouldn't cash in like that, it's obvious he's meant for that team. I meant that people could interpret it that way though because he has all this coverage all of a sudden.

Personally, I have no problem with being a fetish - but then I'm physically the total opposite of the guy in the photo, so maybe I don't qualify and being a fetish is just wishful thinking.

It's cool that he was open about feeling comfortable enough to further explore his interest in leather, now that he's publicly out

[pabloalvarado]

So I was listening this interview while doing other stuff



The vision he had with 3D was cool. Really cool. Its a bummer that didnt happen...

[Maggie]

I'm gay

[Zurg]

its pretty cool he posted that pic. after seeing it i think i was way off. there are different looks for skaters, but i dont know if ive ever seen a skateboarder that looks like BA's man

[swag nollies]

Brian has nice hair maybe Im gay, are we gay now? Is it cool? trend watch

So y'all saying that you have no problem with peolpe being gay. That you are without predjudice and so on. Well first pat yourself on your back and then do this little Slap-ok-with-the-gay test I've developed.

I'm going to write down a name. The first thing/word that comes to mind is the answer. If anything about this guys sexuality is the first thing you think of then you have a problem. Ok, let's give it a go.



Ben Nordberg



In about every thread about him here there are people using gay as a negative about his style/persona. And if you do then you've got a long way to go.

[Cuban_Lynx]

"Backstreet's Back" Did I fail?

[kenneth]

Since boybands are completely asexual I guess you aced it.

[SodaJerk]

Princess Daffodil, then Lordberg. The princess thing is just what I heard the Flip team calls him.

[yapple dapple]

I'm gay

Now you're gay that's it's trendy? You said you were pansexual before.

This just confirmed my suspicion that, fetish or no fetish, literally no one finds me attractive.

Mission accomplished.

What are you talking about? I look just like him. But with hair.

If AA drops a part called 'over 18' I'll back it....

Philly fans always keeping it classy


This has always been one of my personal favorite BA photos.
Pretty sure it was the first time I thought Nikes could be dope to skate in.

Anyone think that Nike could be unscrupulous enough to cash in on his recent resurgence in popularity/relevance, both within and outside of the skate world, and put out another run of the Project BA? Or just wishful thinking on my part?

[essal]

we should start calling everyone by numbers. BA is now 21.

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

HA = 81, so AH = 18
Pretty sure Julien was using the whole bikey gang image (including voting on/ off team members) from the get go so this is nothing new, nor is it anything to get cut over. Their logo is an eagle FFS Accept, move on

[shit_for_brains]

Never in a million years. You all sound like a bunch of dipshit weekend biker dads. Julian using the whole bikey gang image sounds corny as fuck when you type it out like that, not sure if you were trying to help or hurt. Playing biker gang sounds like the exact opposite of cool.
