Why do you say that? I think he's got a higher profile than a lot of the dudes that have a signature Bones wheel. If they don't offer him one, someone else will eventually. Hey, maybe a Kilian Martin signature Pavement wheel?
i dont think him having a wheel is really neccessary and i dont know about that im pretty sure hawk and lasek and mullen are above killian and hey never know
Wheel sponsorship is strange to me. Why isn't John Lucero and Christian Hosoi on the Bones team, but all these other guys that haven't even skated for a decade have pro Bones wheels?
Hosoi has his own wheels. But, I agree. Seems like every Tom, Dick & Harry has his own signature Bones wheel these days. Most of them are terrible looking wheels, too. (In my opinion)
I don't understand why companies feel the need to have "pro" models for wheels and trucks, and even deck bolts. Why stop there? Have pro bearings, pro rails, pro grip tape, pro water to rehydrate yourself. I liked the fact that in the past skaters pro/am and even the average Joe just skated a brand and model of wheel or truck, like t-bones and trackers, or ojII's and indys etc. Our boards are now starting to look more and more like nascars! That's just my 2 cents
