And chose to throw it at Mike V?!! They definitely have cash, not convinced their riders are getting massive pay cheques compared to other companies.

Isn’t Mike V the one that fucked up everyone’s THPS video games pay cheques by offering to be in them for a one off, small fee? He’s hardly the wheeler and dealer by the sound of it. He’s more desperate to try and stay seen than money.

Its not even Brazillian…I searched a bunch to fond out about it and everything I came across mentioned two Brazillian brothers based in Singapore who had found backing via Singaporean funding pots.
It just a South East Asian brand fronted by a couple of randos…
May as well back EEs new thing if thats your bag.

Except Palace was (and is) a bunch of mates. Not a bunch of Michael Fabricants who only know each other via their agents.

Goddamn the triathlon was fucking savage. The boy who won it was literally spewing after winning it. Unreal effort.

Very interesting that they are getting scored exactly the same as the men’s.

Morning. Is the dutch girl that just went the one who carried the flag in the opening procession? I’ve ‘started’ work so the sound is off, sorry if they’ve mentioned it.
Edit: My wife is still carrying on about how rad the skating was yesterday so maybe this will actually get more normies into it. She understands skateboarding ‘culturally’ as embarrassing as that is to type, but she was actually not bored by a contest for once. I had to have the ‘Tampa is the only contest worth watching blah blah’ a moment ago, though.
ALSO Edit: Happy for the skaters that they got their event out the way early so that they can just chill and beer up for the rest of the event and hang out.

To me it’s crazy like that the Olympics is pretty much a normal skate contest.
Just without booze and joints
