Why isn't Antoine pro?

[Jonny Utah]

idk, why isn't Tyson Peterson pro?

[lk130]

who will be the Jackie Robinson of the accent aigu

Bodied

[Grind King Rims]

I remember the last time this question (or some other variant) came up, someone said he's been exactly as good as he is now since he was like 15. So maybe this issue is that he isn't progressing?

i feel like this will happen soon and i will gladly buy my first element product in probably a decade

[Sold Out]

One of his friends told me he didn't get along with the full Real team the first time they all hung out. Since then he's gotten more in with the team I hear. But lately I've seen he's been wearing tons of Alltimers gear, not sure if he'll be on Real for long.

can someone post the gif of him ollieing the pole and then putting the shades on and pushing really fast

Please tell me I'm wrong that the most successful guys out of that province are PLG and Pagoo....

I think youre right. Max Dufour had a pro board way back, but Quebec doesnt pump out too many pros.

Ottawa on the other hand....Wade, Spenny, McCrank, Gailea Momoulu, Im sure i forgot someone too.

You're forgetting the best of them all. Birdhouse Pro, Tom Green.

You know Ottawa's a city and not a province, right?

[close]

yea yea, comparing cities, thats all. Few came out of Toronto too, right, Weiss? and Bokma. Who else?

Grew up in Ottawa and sbmfj missed the first awesome skater to make it out of Ottawa. That's T-ferg! sbmfj is either too young or has no respect.

My bad!! Forgot about Tony. And he was on Girl, legend status. Im "old" -- 40. But quite the roster out of Ottawa compared to Montreal. Think its a language thing?

i need this

[j....soy.....]

Culturally PQ is on its own shit....the rest of Canada doesn't even get it, so why would the rest of the world.....thats why I'm psyched that Dime is getting so much hype....it goes against everything that has happened so far.....good for them.  I'm sure if Dime made boards he'd have one.

PQ also hasn't had good outdoor parks which makes a difference too...pretty sure that's finally changing....

Interesting that it keeps coming up though, usually somebody says "why isn't so-and-so pro" then they either go pro or disappear pretty quick. I can't think of anyone else that this question keeps coming up for over years.

Last dude I remember in this scenario was Benny Fairfax

I can't think of a full Benny Fairfax part, and I also can't think of a full Antoine part so this makes sense.

antoine rips and this is 6 years old

Changing at a snails pace, the parks are horrible. Blame the unions.

[EmilioBestevez]

Probably because having a pro board doesn't pay shit, but being co-owner of Dime does.....

[Zurg]

definitely older than that. he's also had parts in the three dimestore vids.

still surprised dime hasnt got into the deck game. maybe itd become more of conflict of interest for sponsored skaters to wear their stuff if it were a board brand? i guess a lot of the guys who'd be on are already getting hooked up by alltimers anyway

[SK8houses]

8 years old*
antoine has been killing it for ever and has had more than just dimestore parts. this should be changed into an antoine appreciation thread. he has had more video parts than some people who have been recently turned pro in 2017. he has paid his dues and has been smart about it by starting his own operation.

[bumpnrun]

Real's history with Canadian skaters isn't that great IMO

They turned sluggo pro and I think that's it.

[expired]

Funny to think he ended a shared part with kyle walker in 2015 for real and since then walker won soty, a pro deck and his own vans shoe.

Yeah its pretty crazy to think about! I wanna hear how he tried to sabotage his Susmonts part haha.

Pretty sure Dime is owned by Phil, Antoine, and possibly someone else. But yeah, sadly I don't think he will ever go pro for Real. Would be amazing if Antoine and Spenny went pro for Alltimers. And Will Marshall too. Would become such a stacked pro team overnight.

[Tracer]

He brings nothing new to the table.

Same tricks and skating for 10 years, stale

Will Marshall is 1 part away imo, and Spencer IS pro just no board. ( likely due to injury concerns, being canadian, smoker, late 20's)

Yeah he will def need to quit smoking cigarettes if he's gonna make it as a pro skater.

Everytime I click on this thread, I think it's about Antwuan Dixon.

you idiots still aint figure out being a professional skateboarder has nothing to do with skateboarding yet? ask your local hometown hero why he got a 9-5 and could still outskate your favorite AM that gets paid more than your favorite pro. Its simple really. You gotta be sucking the right dick at the right time if you wanna go anywhere with this skate shit kid. Free Max B

PS what the fuck ever happened to that Massimo kid? that one part to jackson 5 or whatever was insane. Free max b

He lives in LA and works at the airport loading packages I'm pretty sure.  Still skates with Ernie/Brockel and the Real dudes in LA.
