I was here in 2005 and it was the same as it is now. Did Bumwin like pink shoes? I can only remember him being a gully badman.

I told him his Pushead Dunks looked like abortions on the feet (which with 20 years perspective may not be something I’d necessarily say today) and prompted months of fake internet beefing that included threats that he’d spend time “shanking duncebreeds” up with a “borra” and calling Powley a bumpkin fuck for living in Wakefield

He phoned me up one time completely out of the blue to say he was going to be in Edinburgh and asked if I fancied a skate. No idea how he got my number but I didn’t go to Edinburgh. I remember being surprised how well spoken he was. Isn’t he a marine biologist now?

He does something on oilrigs as well
I got the brown ones the other day.
I’m a UK 8 and they fit me true to size.

Seems that Chris Joslin is now riding for Lakai.
Interesting, good move for them I suppose.
Also, according to Slap, Etnies have picked up squinting Youtuber extraordinaire, Dan Corrigan.

wow, what a weird turn of events. Drop big pros and put on YT goon.
I don’t mind Corrigan and he’s really good at the fiddly shit he does even if it’s fucking ugly. He’s just nowhere near a pro level to be on big companies other than flow.
If there’s anyone that deserves a proper shoe sponsor, it’s Joslin. It’s mad that someone of his level is having to resort to riding for post-Rick and Mike Lakai
He put out a part last month which flew under the radar, but he’s still got it.

Etnies are still one of those companies that no adults wear unless they are on flow

I’ve got a lot of respect for Joslin, he clearly kills it and to win a BATB too. But his style is a bit off, for me. That said, there’s got to be a huge younger demographic that will buy his shoe, so smart move by Lakai. I just hope he’s getting paid a shit ton. Also, for what it’s worth, to me post Mike and Rick Lakai and Nidecker Enties are probably on par this each other these days.
