Sage is on CK too. Peter Bici probably the first skateboarder they gave money to, so they’re picking the right people at least.

I might be wrong, but I seem to remember Markovich having some sort of connection with Calvin Klein way back when.

Another half remembered/imagined scenario is Stevie starting a boxer shorts and bathrobes business with Calvin Klein’s son fairly recently (?)

On the subject of Calvin Klein and skateboarding, I can’t recall exactly but I’m reasonably sure Calvin Klein himself was out with a bunch of skaters, (maybe in Hong Kong, possibly), that could have included Cole Wilson, (who may or may not have been dating CK’s daughter) and he was acting as a spotter/ directing pedestrians whilst someone was skating a rail in a busy area and really got into the session. I could be making that up entirely :man_shrugging:

Asphalt Yacht Club was through Tommy Hilfiger, if that’s any use.

That was it, Hillfiger- and I think then that it may have been Tommy Hilfiger himself doing the ‘get out of the way!’ duty on the rail sesh. Still could be making that up though. Vaguely remember Cole Wilson was dating Hilfiger’s daughter at some point. Don’t know if he was present when the rail was being skated.

I do think that the boxer shorts thing was after Asphalt Yacht Club though.

Edit: Cole Wilson was on AYC and so the rail session was probably on an AYC trip. Those trips were probably good with Hilfiger cash behind them. Terrible clothes though.

Cheers. That clears that up. Lol’ing about Tommy Hilfiger wrestling with that dude.

I guess that thing that Kelly half mumbled about the underwear company, (Hotel ?) was also what I was thinking about.

Brief mention of both Cole Wilson and Hilfiger’s daughter but that’s another story - and one that I can’t be bothered thinking any more about. It can’t be that important or interesting if I have so little recollection of whatever it was…

I think there was another one which I guess has stopped now, Google tells me it was called Tango Hotel.

Robert Neal on StockX whatever that entails?!

He’ll be able to easily flog on that last Nike package when he gets cut.

He basically now has a shoe sponsor that both pays and allows him to wear any brand. Smart move that.

Slap saying Vaughn Baker no longer works for Nike? Seems like Nike are cleaning house. Hope Colin Kennedy is doing alright.

Sucks how UK skateboarding isn’t big/stable enough to support people who have done so much for it.

lol.

You muted the shoe thread?

Shit. My bad.

It’s basically a sole tech circle jerk, we’ve all been tempted.

Haha. I was totally joking. Just was funny because that thread has been popping off with Nike rumours and discussions.

And yeah there’s some sole tech fanboys in there.

I use this site everyday but there are some threads I very rarely venture into and some I never look at. Like the ‘Stoked’ one for instance - I never want to imagine you lot happy!
