They’re a proper industrial bearing manufacturer. Been around a while…inherited a set of SKF’s when I was a young lad. I’d expect their bearings to be pretty good tbh.
Their Aerospace division is near to my work, always wondered if they’ve got any of their skate bearings lying around inside the factory.
As someone else said - proper company with years of involvement in skating tangentially - they employed Kaspar Van Lierop (who used to be head of global marketing at Nike SB and now does ASICS) to organise their team etc.

Wallride to FS Pivot was ill
Don’t think I ever saw that before. Incredible Irish cruising from one of the best UK street skaters of the 2000 onwards era.
It’s a re-edit of recent footage but dude is incredibly talented so who cares.
hate to sound like an old fart but what have they done to enya. is nothing sacred.
ended up watching it muted but played the original over the top. much nicer experience
Ishod is the best
Agreed but a couple of his fits were terrible. Must have been washing day.
he’s on a heavy Kapital kick
Gosh. Perfect. Tom Knox 10 pop shuv line is next level.
That was great - then I saw Gary Rogers with a mic and switched it off.
Great vibe though
Has been some situation like sandwichgate that happened with Gary? It feels like his skateline thing got cancelled and it seems like a lot of people find him insufferable but he’s still lurking hard at demos and tours…?
He’s just a boring twat but, that said, I’m a 52 year old guy from Yorkshire so not at all his target audience. I just can’t watch him.
I spent about 3 minutes in his company in CPH and trust me…..that was 2 minutes and 59 seconds too much. The dude is a fucking tool.
From what I’ve seen the term gobshite feels pretty accurate. N bomb volume is too high too.
Forgot skateline was even a thing… that’s showbiz!
