Interesting to me that they're putting out ads in thrasher... promoting themselves without a team. kids aren't into buying shit without a "name" and it's hard to build one without a killer team.
Yea, I don't get that. I think back to the 80s and everybody had their favorite skater, their favorite graphic, and style was everything. A skate company without a team would need like a skate company with a great team but sold blank decks. Nobody will care, kids need that connection.
I've been bummed out since I heard about this. It is crazy that Hoopla and Positiv have teams, and Powell seems to have dissolved theirs. An official news release from Powell would be nice to see.
according to some dude on fb it was financial and leave my peeps at positiv and hoopla alone :P they really should stop doing theese wheels and golden dragon and i think that would free up alot of money
If they have cut the team for financial reasons it wouldnt look good if they then added a legend or 2 to the team. If they want to just release a lot of retro boards they should give the retro fan base what they want. Put some of the classic graphics on a pool size board. Would love a snakeskin on a functional full size shape.
I saw the top part of that graphic on either his Twitter or Facebook when he leaked he was off the team. I figured it was just a mock up, didn't think it was an actual deck graphic. Would be sick though. I like it.
