Instagram Blowouts

When was the last time anyone was shocked by a sponsor move?

This Louie to FA thing has been on the cards for about a year. He was skating a spray painted board on the Dec 2017 cover of Thrasher which indicated he was leaving Flip and the rumours were about FA even back then.

The last surprise of a team move was dill to adidas.

Am I a dick for never really being that arsed about Louie’s footage because all I think of is how lame he was when he was a little red t shirt wearing kid with braces and a new era? Can’t lose it in my head. Dunno. His skating is too perfect for me. I don’t find him fun to watch!

Probably the first FA rider I get bored watching

Sadly I’ve always heard off mates for years that the people behind Adrenaline Alley are wankers, doing stuff for disabled and learning difficulties is dope as fuck but a lot of places do outwards facing stuff for funding (not to say thats the only reason) , and I guess what I’ve heard is that they just don’t get skate culture? Like paying in is paying into a leisure centre.

Mates who have turned up to skate the vert ramp have had to ā€˜prove themselves’ that they can skate it several times and then been kicked out after driving hours haha

yeah i think i said before, they’re definitely geared up for everyone other than skateboarders as a set up. imagine having that much space (it’s basically 5 warehouses) and there being very little that i would consider as good to skate

True. Pointless move wasn’t it though.

It’s Alex Decunha shit but executed as perfect as possible and it’s still a bit honking.

Impressive though.

I have this weird idea that he’s one of the closest things we have to a modern Penny. Always asleep at the wheel and doing something completely unpredictable. Literally does not give a fuck about winning any of those park contests and stoned as can be.

One of the first that served a ban (at competitive skateboarding) for weed…

I don’t have a clue how weed is ā€˜performance enhancing’

Focus.
I used to skate much more relaxed when stoned.
