I got kicked out of a zero signing tuesday

[close]

please, go on...i'm intrigued.?? 

[close]

I started drinking around noon, signing was at 7 at a boutique style shop in a very high rent part of town, I had already been told not to drink inside the store, anyway I cut in line to tell the chief I post on slap, the look on his face when I said that was priceless, was escorted out right after that

[close]

haha, you wish that's what happened
i walked in and gave everyone fives and you started rambling about your 'bombing hills not countries' shirt and expected me to know you were talking about being a slap poster. you mumbled for a few minutes til you finally told me that you were 'mexican spaniard' with the pretense that i should be impressed. i said cool man and gave the rest of the kids high fives.

30 minutes later you started to act 'cool' again by calling everyone that in line for autographs 'nerds'. you did this about 3 times and i called you out on it and you said some more lame shit then the shop owner walked you out.

bottom line is you were drunk and acting like a dick for no damn reason except to give everyone the impression that you were cooler than them.

oh you also said "I SUCK' all loud like you were outting me or something, i agreed that you do suck.

your crashing of the signing was a miserable fail and everyone man, woman & child thought you were a kook

[close]

that's the same story just with more details

haha, i guess i was clearing up the confusion on my face and the fact that I had nothing to do w you getting thrown out

Haha, drunk tales. I wonder how my cool drinking stories sound told by the other side. Probably not cool at all.

Are they THE STRAYE now bc Straye is fairly similar to State.  Not that I think State has the legal firepower, but they seem similar enough to cause market confusion

Are you being serious?

[Seadramon]

I'm surprised by how many people are a fan of Braydon. He's never done anything that's caught my attention.

am i serious that i think that someone should make a case out of it?  No.  Do i think lawsuits have happened over less?  Yes.

[turtleboy86]

if jamie thomas reads this please get some antwaun footage down some big shit while hes sober!!!

antwaun on zero with some died hair would be sick too . like red died hair, all sober and wild ... hella!

[Watson]

I gotta admit this is the best fit so far out of anyone on the team. The shoes are basically canvas and rubber versions of Braydon.

[Budo]

Jamie Thomas is cool.

Muska being on the front page of the website first thing is wildly confusing though.  Pulling the double shoe-deal is impressive in this day and age.

kickflip blunt/noseblunts on rails, banged Ozzy's daughter, and released these:

Perfect

I don't wanna hate on this but maybe having 2 dudes who've put out maybe 15 minutes worth of footage in 10 years isn't a good look.  I just don't believe Antwuan will stay on the wagon.  Also,  is Braydon on as Am or Pro?  It'd be advised they put an up and comer on next

Do you know how hard it is to get 15 minutes of footage?

Mexican Spaniard's should probably Straye away from this Thread.......

im kinda amazed at how much of a perfect stereotypical slap poster mexicanspaniard represented irl after reading these stories. a drunk dickhead who cant function in society, bumming skaters out and calling people by their usernames. you need to get your shit together dude lol. wish there was a clip or something.

[Tracer]

With Braydon you get Weezy. With Weezy you get paid.

[Maggie]

pro skater, entrepreneur

so is this company considered core? should i back straye?

Watson and other shop owners: Who could they possibly think is their market?

[close]

Basically their market is fashion idiots. I think any involvement with skateboarding is just for street cred. This is my take on the company:
Started by the dude who started Supra. Dude was smart enough to know that Biebers and Jay-Zs and Rihannas don't fucking wear Skytops anymore, they wear Vans. So he sold Supra for a shitload of money to K-Swiss and started an "edgy" Vans to try and target that demographic that buys into that shit.

Basically all that needs to be known is on these two pages of the first press junket they sent out, which was sent to our shop to introduce the brand:

I thought you developed 2 different releases to send to different places. Like maybe you include in the email to core shops you plan on bringing in justin beiber and channing tatum as "influencers" and just focus on the fact that muska, thomas and twaun are a part of the program.

when I worked in toys, I didn't send the same info to indie toy stores, that i sent to chains.

Thats cool and thats how skateboarding should work; right ?

Now I want to support indie toy stores next time I have to get a toy; like my useless wooden toy. Wow; see what I did here ?!

[RIDEFLANNELV2]

Holly shit! That signing story was amazing. Kudos, Mexican Spaniard. I have now read aloud ISUCKS's post and your rebuttal to at least three different coworkers....shit had everyone rolling with laughter.

I back straye, down for straye, straye for down
