I'm being nice and not using harsh words as the dude before me did, but Pablo, you have no idea what your talking about with your whole, 'he burnt his bakerboys bridges because when baker kicked him off he wouldn't continue to skate their boards' that he would have had no way to afford. Just please don't make assumptions and act like you know all the details about a situation when your not personally involved in.
Hey everybody this guy is personally involved.
I'd like to see him get a board because I think it would be funny for them to take it away again.
You know, I can take that on a good way and dont rush with that kind of assumptions on the future cause I perceive Im beign misunderstood here. Its easy to write your mind on this place and is clear so many people care about this happening so ok, my bad to rush with my composition, shit, english is still a little hard to me.
Maybe the "burned bridges" is a very powerful sentence that I dont fully understand. Its so bad to write that ? That means theres bad blood and hate and stuff? cause its cool that Beagle filmed stuff with him and all that. Hes helping a friend to bring something to the crazy pro skateboarding world.
We all agree that him beign fired as a professional Baker skateboarder means that the paycheck isnt going anymore to his bank account and thats totally bussiness but he isnt retired and after many months he isnt really fully on another board company. He didnt started a new brand. So...if nobody is paying him money to represent a brand why not stay with the person/company that take care of you on the first place if theres nothing like bad blood between. Heres the Sparky/Lenoce/Heyl example again but well maybe thats the exception and not the rule.
My final thought on this issue and trying to be more specific is that I dont think BB is that much on a budget that its red numbers to give some ex-rider that was on so many years a box of boards every once in a while and that former pro keep showing those boards on social media. Maybe a clip on some Weekend Warriors or something like that keeps that former pro somehow relevant and stuff. Something that keeps the wheels rolling somehow even if theres not royalties involved. Or maybe get some deal with Andrew with some photo incentive with that Lil Wayne World Tour or something in the past. But he decide to skate blanks for a long time. Thats a statement there.
Heyl still skates Baker boards and he isnt going to Zumiez to buy his boards full price or maybe yes cause then again Im not personally involved with his daily routine. Isnt a crazy thing to think Andrew would send a memo "hey just sell boards to Shane (or Braydon like we are talking about) on the warehouse without full price, just the minimum cost"cause that make senses to me and the word to that is pro-flow. Right ? Even when this recent Berrics project why not call Andrew and say "hey Im doing this thing and I want to ride Baker boards".
If I myself can buy boards from the company my friend runs and I really dig with a really low price why Braydon cant ? The guy even flow me some extra boards or wheels or a t-shirt or whatever here and there and he is always asking if I need anything else. Im just spreading the good word on his product cause is the bomb. I dont even skate with that skate team but the owner got my back and viceversa. Whats different on a major scale ?! Just dollars ?!
The true is Szfrancisco is skating with LE boards (or that was someone wrote here) that maybe he recieves free on the mail or maybe hes buying somewhere in the LA area, maybe on a Zumiez but those boards werent Baker on the Halloween video and thats my point why Braydon shouldnt be pro for Baker again and thats whats this thread about. I dont even type "because he doesnt sell boards anymore" cause again...how many Baca boards do you think theres out there ?! BB isnt about board sales or thats how I feel that camp since the year 2001. Its about ride Baker boards, thats the whole point of be a BakerBoy.
If somebody can tell us about the whole history (Brink, you already finish that MJ rebuttal ? Heres another job to you) that would make Slap day as it seems. A Free Lunch with Braydon kinda thing. A whole Pro Spotlight on Transworld. A new Berrics video with him and his phone photo-roll. Something to bring light on this but who knows, maybe nobody gives a fuck besides us to ever take the time to ask the big question.
