Was Blue Ed Templeton? Or was that Chris Pastras?
That’s the sort of business longevity that Markovich can only dream of.

Chris Pastras and Jason Lee, pre-cursor to Stereo.

Two different companies with the same people and basically the same name. Sounds more like a vape shop than a skateboard company.

Mike V then had another short lived company called Transit straight after iirc? I know someone who got asked to be U.K. flow for it and turned it down, haha.
Ed T outright says that Mike V nicked his TV pay check in his Epicly Later’d which just got re uploaded.

Also Mike V on 10k a month at World really speaks about the time and where the money was. If he was getting 10k a month just off board royalties, imagine what Rocco was making.

super niche question time but what was the third dorfman company at the same time as blue and tv?
Idk about timelines but wasn’t Acme originally out of the Dorfman ‘camp?
i believe it was, that and channel one. wasn’t thinking about that though.
Go on Judith - which one? 60/40 was through John Fallahee right? So not that…
Not the nearly happened Lotti company was it?
From the Vert is Dead blog , Feb 10 2012.
‘’ TV was started after they both left the New Deal. It was backed by Brad Dorfman at Vision. TV did not last long, as Ed and Mike joined with Dean Christal of Zero Two and changed the name to Television. Television was around for even less time than TV. ‘’

Transit lasted a year or two and that was around 97ish I’d say.

Yeah Transit was late 90s, and existed until 98/99, then he got onto Black Label.
Enemy of the Sandwich Table went back and rode for Powell in the mid 90s after TV/Television though, there’s a promo video.
