Yeah he’s a right conch.
The big stunt seems to have happened. Industry insiders are calling it potentially one of the 7 most exciting brand activations of the last quarter.
This is the kid they got to do it.
Seeing his profile just made me very sad that Sidewalk isn’t around anymore. Without gatekeepers you get… whatever this is. 150 thousand followers.

You know… More power to him and all that but it’s not for me Clive.
If they wanted someone with 10k followers I wonder if they scaled his pay up x15. Seems only fair.
Tartan grip is a solid no. But to be fair, can’t knock him for taking what’s offered to him.
But, agree re Sidewalk. Everything needs gatekeepers
Every moment of that, every frame of the video and every note of the music, is disgusting. Everybody involved should be ashamed of themselves. Holy fuck I hope this sort of garbage doesn’t keep getting bigger.
A Hop King board too. Naturally.
I wonder how much he paid for that Supreme shirt.
They didn’t even put skateboarding in the insta clip
That’s something I guess.
Hahahaha.
What I like about it is how original it is. It’s going to blow people’s minds.
Consider that brand…activated.
Yo, WTF?! This guy is fucking insanely talented! I mean that sincerely as well. Does some pretty rank tricks but he actually does them well.
Is he Irish?
He also does them in his own Todd Falcon like environment.
Haha fuck just holds a board The whole thing is a meltfest.
I can’t wait for the next in this category to come along.
Introducing, Leyton Buzzard.
Note: Bird theme.
Brings absolutely nothing new to the table. Just a load of extreme sports chucked together (again) in an urban environment. How many times have we seen exactly this before?
All that’s missing is Hammond May and Clarkson having a poorly scripted argument about which one is best first.
@Les_Zeppelin I know the girl in that video. Becky. Shes actually done some work with Nathan (House Skatepark Podcasts)
At this point I’d argue that Hop King are doing more for skateboarding than Palace, both have almost equally ugly boards though.
lol. They definitely aren’t. Unless I missed all those Hop King pro boards in all the best skater owned shops, or their videos that make people want to skate, or their clothes that even regular people want to wear. As far as I knew Hop King was two rich kids who got some money to star a business and decided they’d make a shitty skateboard-based beer to cash in on two current trendy cultural touchpoints, and then built a micropark in a cupboard.
