Nothing destroys a legacy like price-point completes.

From what I remember, Blind still sells really well across the world.

I’m sure Darkstar does too.

Nothing against Blind.
They have a team and make videos.
This guy rides for Blind and is fucking sick:

Does Cody Mac still ride for them?
Edit: Yes, and so too Micky Papa and Kevin Romar. A mixed bag.

What about the gnarly ginger kid Jordan Maxman.
Still on, but never been a massive fan. Style is a bit shit, but does big stuff.
Is Morgan Smith a free agent now? Crazy if so.
I think he’s stepped back from being sponsored to work behind the scenes.
Most of the Blind team are aged 30 or older. Weird for such a kiddy brand.
This is weird, but watching that TJ clip made me like the Reaper graphic a bit more.
I have never liked the Reaper graphic.
Might need to take some time out.

The reaper graphic has a special place in my heart since it was fucking huge in 98/99 when I started skating.

He’s on the brown cord tip, yes mate! Some no bullshit mr hand man in there. Quite liked it.
Before turning pro/having that Indy part, he had a Blind part, an etnies part, a Thrasher part, photos in Thrasher and a Free interview. Plus some other tour stuff, etc.
Sounds like it just passed you by rather than him not having any build up.

JJ in that?
If you mean two-hats, then no, if you mean Jake Johnson, then yes.
Highlights are definitely Alexis Sablone skating to The Breeders, and Louie Lopez is ridiculously good. TG cameo. Dedicated to Ben Reamers. Pretty much the whole team get a look in. Rad video and, after a first watch, I don’t think there are any potential trouser problems* lurking either.
Edit: * K Rod (cough cough).

That Alexis part was wicked. Such a good combo with the Breeders. I love their first record so much - the cover of Happiness Is a Warm Gun is one of the best Beatles covers ever.
