Olson tried to get him on 917 but couldn’t convince him
He was rocking Polar at the time a bit too and Pontus was def after it. I remember feeling that would have been a dope fit but looking back not so much.
No way could Pontus afford him.
Pontus designed part of the Glasgow DIY. He got asked and he sent shit, which now exists.

That’s rad af. A mate of mine wrote to him to talk about diy stuff and some techniques and he was super stoked to get back with some rad answers too.

Solid Lev quote
“We didn’t want to blow smoke up our own arses,” he said. “It’s only 10 years. Some shit brands have been going for 60 . . . It ain’t rocket science, mate.”
What skate brands have been going for 60 years? Vans? Can’t be that shit to still be in business after 60 years.
“Working class Glasgow dads sport Palace”
Hmm. Pretty sure they’re thinking of Super Dry there.
Vans is 53 years old, cant think of any skate brands older?
Vans is 53. 1966 is basically part of their branding.
Correct! Not sure how or why i typed in 56 ha
They weren’t originally a skate co though were they?
I thought they made deck shoes… for boat enthusiasts.

Surprised Pirelli never started a similar brand as my Dad used to make pumps and stuff there when he was young.
Tiago ‘of’ DC…

I’d guess adidas.
NB apparently.

You feel like you’re just witnessing that now?!
That’s a good point actually, it’s very odd to see in this age of so many pros skating well into their 30s and beyond.
I’d love to see it!
