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 Louieā€™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? Canā€™t lose it in my head. Dunno. His skating is too perfect for me. I donā€™t find him fun to watch!

Probably the first FA rider I get bored watching

Sadly Iā€™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 Iā€™ve heard is that they just donā€™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 themselvesā€™ that they can skate it several times and then been kicked out after driving hours haha

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

True. Pointless move wasnā€™t it though.

Itā€™s Alex Decunha shit but executed as perfect as possible and itā€™s still a bit honking.

Impressive though.

I have this weird idea that heā€™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 weedā€¦

I donā€™t have a clue how weed is ā€˜performance enhancingā€™

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