i wanted to start the thread about names that arent mentioned and were prepped by sponsors to become the next big thing. there were sick skaters like massimo cavedoni but his trajectory wasnt same like tony tave being jokingly called "poor man's koston" or dyson ramones being picked up by stereo/duffs/? and appearing in every issue for a small window of time.
devine calloway was (city stars), then disappeared, then reappeared (that transworld video), then disappeared, then reappeared (primative).
justin schulte is umm, on element and mountain dew just sort of being so cal and being in lifestyle images for mtn dew photo shoots. hes cooperative so he gets paid. trevor colden was the worst. we all know its corny and you signed up for it so just show up, doesnt even have to be on time. tiago is the best. i only know that shit cause i worked for the agency in charge of that shit and i edited the photos that go on carboard cut outs, generic instagram posts, and shit like that.
fuuuuck the north video with ted degros was heavy. then he went to santa cruz after alien, right? was it his attitude? that cab nollie heel tripped me out as a kid.
abdias riveria, so there was this wallride photo on slap maybe a year ago. was that shit real?
damien bravo doesnt really apply to this list but i thought it strange that his name is printed on the Since Day One box but he doesnt appear in it.
i always thought kids who were on baker or flips were always going to be a big deal when i was a kid, but hmm.
