So theres Pizza that totally started off with a group of friends as their team and eventually turned a few of them pro then got chase webb who was am for another established brand. Welcome did a similar thing where it was a brand started off with a group of unknowns then turned a few of them pro. With Max Allure getting off - are they gonna follow the same pattern where they'll eventually turn one of there ams pro or get someone whose already got a buzz going? Is this a new trend?

How do you know Max Allure is getting off?

Karl Watson is running it. It will be ok. Jonathan and Tafarri kill it. My friend is also getting flowed a few boards by them. I think they will do just fine.

WKND. Even though Raymond Molinar had been pro for awhile, technically didn't have a board until Austyn got on.

Lovesick just turned one of their guys Pro. I believe he's their first and only one.

Status Skateboards - the sister company to DNA that was all amateurs and this was the concept behind the company. Around in the late 90s to early 2000s. Wasn’t the best idea.

Fuck you are right, it was Strubing that just got his first board with them. Welp I'm an idiot.

I think at one point World Industries only had ams. They had pros before tho.

shark tits · « **Reply #14 on:** April 02, 2018, 08:56:35 AM »

acme didn't have pros for the longest. i feel like matt reason had a board for them but maybe they never did have pros?
kyle vadeboncuer was pro in our heart of hearts though. erick ricks too!

Technically in the era Chris Branugh, Randy Colvin and Jovantae were pro, Colvin seemed pretty off the map, Branagah was whatevs and Jovantae was fairly new.

Shaolin Wood was a company out of Hawaii that was distributed by Dwindle that was an am only company, and this one is kinda obscure but E Special was a strange sister company to Neighborhood and i think it was set up as all the ams were on that company and the pros rode for Neighborhood

That's funny. I always thought Shaolin was out of New York, because of the Wu-Tang connection.

Welcome did a similar thing where it was a brand started off with a group of unknowns ~~then turned a few of them pro~~ then kicked them all off the team and got more marketable guys and turned a few of them pro.

I thought Spencer Hamilton was on Alltimers as well, or at least getting boards.

WKND, Passport, and 917 come to mind (unless you count Alex). Don't really pay any attention to Plan B but last time I checked their team was exclusively pros and not a single am. Weird.

Spencer was skating alltimers boards for a while it seemed but recently he's mixing it up and skating the killing floor and sour boards

Wu Tang Skateboards was kinda sick, I liked that they gave Maurice Key a pro model.
