They reissued every fucking deck going, one of the first OG companies to rinse it
Don’t know if he did or if he has any rights as he’s still inside, no?
Looks like they did and they’re still for sale, wow. He won’t be making a penny off it though.

He must’ve gone through a load, takes fuck all to snap those boards as they’re so flat, esp on handrails
Got to be a reissue, you’d be nuts to skate an OG. Just checked and the black/white was reissued.

I’m betting Vision have a contract loophole where they don’t have to pay anyone for using it. You can buy a design out right, it’s theirs forever, not the artists, ect. How music companies can piss on musicians and do what they want with their songs, etc.
On the Gonz reissues it says ‘The Original’ instead of his name. Bad form having Gator’s name on a board, and am guessing he won’t be entitled to any royalties.

They’ve reissued a whole heap of Gator boards. I got given one with the ankh on it, gave it away as soon as I could.
Although not sure which are worse, the reissues or collectors fiending for the OG boards and trying to justify that it’s ok, because it was before he became a fucking despicable human being. If you want the boards for personal reasons (eg first board or whatever) fine, but treat it as the guilty pleasure it is and do not fucking try to justify or brag about it.
Baudelaire is so hot right now.
krooked just stuck all of these online!

Trick at 2:11 is cool, I won’t give it away and I’ve not seen beyond that point yet so it could get more bonkers.
