Was ‘team handsome’ originally used about the gravis team and dylan? Who else was in it?
Olson.

Huf team also?
Eli Berle seems to have the personality of a 16-year-old. New style every other week.
Austyn seems more grown up but he definitely comes across as cocky.
Fuck these guys, let’s watch a Bobby Worrest part.

Nah nah not HUF.
The EB Vans part was fucking good.
Is this now a load of hetero middle aged guys saying who they think is handsome in the industry?
Because Kenny Anderson should probably be in there
Abusing your girlfriend isn’t handsome behaviour

Nahhhhhh…they called Nordberg out on it as a wannabe.
You make it sound like official team or judging panel.
‘Sorry Ben, you may actually be a professional model and all but you’re still not on the team.’

Im not saying he should be a role model but he’s a good looking bastard whether or not he’s a shitty human. The two can coexist

Yup. I mean, it was a crew…it wasn’t just for any good looking chap out there.
Just because you drink, doesn’t mean you were PissDrunx, etc.
I didn’t even know it was a crew referring to themselves as that, hilarious if so.

Well whadya know - Gillette and Nordberg were founding member of Team Handsome!
Who did you have in mind for the original Team Handsome squad? Could you see there being any additions?
Going way back in skate history, Reese and Austin, as mentioned, are kind of the precursors to Team Handsome. Peter Bici and Paul Sharpe could kinda go in there too I think. I’m sure I am leaving a few out from back in the day. People can go wild in the comments and let me know. If I had to pick a lineup right now, on this day … here’s how it would go:
• Dylan Rieder
• Danny Garcia
• Austyn Gillette
• Ben Nordberg
• Alex Olson
• Arto Saari
• Kenny Anderson
• Brian Anderson
• Gino Iannucci
• David Clark

”A TRIP TO THE BARBER, CUFFED PANTS OR POMADE DOESN’T GET YOU ON THE TEAM, BRO!”
Amazing.
I’ll never forget the time he shook my hand, I had extreme butterflies.
I bottled taking a piss at the urinal between Dylan and Alex Olsen and took the cubical, leaving @Brewer to take the space between Team Handsome! To this day Brewdog claims he never sneaked a peak..

That’s amazing.
Maybe I am mistaken, but I am really sure that at some point Nordberg got called out for being a wannabe. Although he definitely did lurk with Dylan a lot when he first lived in the US - so maybe it wasn’t by them guys?
I dunno…all such a long time ago now.

I remember someone wrote in the book out at Powley’s 40th “Sorry I can’t be there, I’m busy in LA eating sushi off Dylan Reider’s back, Love Nordberg xxxx”
