What is going on in skateboarding nowadays??? Everytime you pick up a magazine, people are getting the boot. And THIS tiime there is no signature on it. No big check…Just dropped. I read this and it REALLY bothered me…Out with the old and in with the new….Skateboarding will have no soul soon….Pretty soon they are gonna design boards strickly made for handrails. What’s next, an age limit????
I made this post and I’m sooo bitter, i feel the need to comment on my own shit….This is just BULLSHIT!!
damn. og philly heads gone. $10 bucks pros are jasan wakuzawa and terell robinson
ki, i wouldnt be surprised if they made some age limit shit. and what a piece of shit write up CITY did, i now hate this company for reading this garbage. glad that tony is still on, just for the fact of seeing coverage of him, but i wish he would be on something more down for real skating, not some leap of faith promoter company. yea terrel is good, but shit man, his style and creativity aint close to pete and mikes, plus seeing terrel do a line??? yea, its not apealing…..
I just hated how they went about it. They put Mike and Pete out there ike they are fucking lazy!!! Like they didn’t push East Coast skating at all. Skate Rats my ass!!! Those dude ate OG Skate Rats…..They earned their stripes and now they got clippped…City is garbage…..
looks like its their loss…Who just had a cover of slap switch 5050 a 16 stair??
yeah for real thats horseshit – pete is still shredding and maldo like so many other dudes has such a history that he needs his name on boards still- and dont get me wrong from working in shops and know alot of people in other shops city doesnt move alot of boards in an area where they should sell like crazy based on the fact that three of their biggest riders are from this area, but thats how the industry is ya know. somebody on fallen needs to get into terrell that city is fuckin lame and move to greener pastures.anywhere but there-
City = Think. Do the math, ya know? My homie DJ got the boot from Think back when he was getting more done than the Jake Nunn’s or Danny Fuenzawhatever’s. It was political. Who buys City boards really? Not the kids where I live. This is a typical Street Corner Dist. move. I hope they both get hooked up by Shut or Traffic or something that fits. Mike had some great footage in that Direction East promo.
I wouldn’t doubt it was less of a boot and more of a ‘part ways’. I’m not worried about it. It’s typical skateboarding, politics. It’s life, straight politicin’.
it today’s pro skate world, you’re only as good as your last editorial photo. when was the last time we saw a photo of Maldonado? name or not, shit is ruthless, produce or get lost. too many little kids willing to jump or huck, not enough with style.
lets not get bummed here kids. most likely mike and pete will wind up somewhere better than city. incidently citys whole concept from the start was to get young hungry ams and run em into the ground or see if they blow up. a thirty year old 10 year vet is gonna want a lot more than a 20 year old rookie and whos gonna skate more? those dudes just wound up up for grabs at the right time before. i predict the next shit will be dope and way more legit than think part 2.
OMG,Pete and Mike are eppic like Eddie Gomez.Sorry if thats over yung bucks heads.Dridge gets year old photos for Slap covers and Mike Maldonado is way too gangster for this bullshit.I hope the best is yet to come for them
Wait, are they saying Maldonado ISN’T laying it down day in, day out? Or was it that they wouldn’t give him a 15″ wheelbase? Fuckin’ kooks. More power to Mickey! Whatever. City’s graphics reminded me of an arcade machine from 1982. And not only does Maldonado have such a history, he’s STILL killing shit like no other! Daaaamn, City’s fuckin’ LAME.
p.s. if youre pushin 30 its ok not to skate as much as you did when you were 18, epecially if your name is pete eldridge and you fuckin kill shit everytime you touch a board. again city was invented to create “cost effective pros” not a well rounded and long lasting skate team. in a year they will launch a new half baked concept to sell decks with bad graphics and ambigous names printed on them.
Who wrote asking when Mangatanga had a photo recently? Do you look at mags with your eyes closed? He’s had a few photos in the past few months. A couple in Skateboarder, one in Focus, few in TSM. All fuckin’ amazing too. Open your eyes and look at mags other then TWS
City boards are fucking aweful. They put absolutely NO effort into the graphics whatsoever. Mike and Pete were the selling points of that team. Remember Lucky? That shit just seemed to fade and City arose from the muck. I’m sure if you scraped a City board’s graphic off, there’s a green clover underneath. And nobody wants to be that LUCKY.
Dude, East Coast power House Mike Maldy, come on what the fuck are they doing straight up dissing them as slackers. THE FUCKIN QUESTION IS, HOW THE FUCK CAN THEY SELL DECKS BY JUST PROMOTING AMS? Dude don’t ya know. City Shitty, I don’t know about that cause I am not the one trying to sell that shit. It might be a shit load more complicated than that. PG, I am out of DC and shredding to Huntington with DJ and Lizard. Hit me up, were heading to the Random Lurkerz Prem. I’ll Cool Pic that shit. STOP PUSHING.
Bitches.
PS: Ki always has something to say, he is the king of that shit. Good Looks.
city might suck, but hubba still rules.
