what just happened?

  1. Damn! I just watched Static 2…the entire Philly Four on Traffic?! Plus Puleo?! Good looks.

  2. Yeah Eddie, you should sue for royalties on every punk point deck sold since you invented it.

  3. People should be making a point to support these guys by buying their gear. It’s been a while since there’s been such a sick Philly company. I worry about their nationwide appeal though. Everybody likes a gimmick, and these guys are going real straightforward (Which is the best part about it. I just don’t know how that’ll fly.)

  4. I think about that stuff too but there are dudes everywhere that are into that “Philly Style” of skateboarding. in fact, i dont think anywhere else has such a defined style. I think the graphics have a defined style as well. In the couple of years Traffic has been around its gone from nothing to easily the most interesting east coast company going! Lets hope that translates to some serious sales and Ricks dream of an east coast industry with a distro the whole world pays attention to will come true sooner than you think.

  5. i also think its sick that static 2 is really the first traffic video. andy and pat are in there as well. it woud be sick as hell if rick could get him to put the next traffic video together. i know the squad will have a presence in static 3 but i think josh stewart presents the traffic video could happen and would rule!

  6. “Philly Style” No one else can claim that. Jack, thats sick. Thanks from everyone, your style is epic.

  7. “I think the graphics have a defined style as well.”

    Are you giving yourself a reach-around?

    WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!

  9. not reaching around, just responding to someone saying we doint have an image or gimmick but i guess those are different things. haveboard please allow some advanced skate nerdery: eddie gomez was pro for a company called eppic back the 80s. that is some serious throwback reference!

  10. were spinning off topic here. the label made a pointed skateboard for jason adams called the “punk point” pointless.

  11. Someone needs to take that pointy deck and jam it in their own neck! Now that would be punk.

  12. just to clarify — that’s not the “punk point” it’s a “hardcore point” — i.e. youth of today/GB/bold/burn/judge/mouthpiece/chokehold

    even snapcase could get thrown up in there….dare i say…earthcrisis?

    to the X i’m crucified.

  13. Via is a sick-ass video. I’m quite fond of it. Philly definitely has its own style, and Traffic is the epitome of said style. They really prove skateboarding to be an art.

  14. I was really just saying that, hey, I noticed the eddie gomez historical trivia. Traffic does, in Cleveland, have a legion of diehards that, according to legend, are so dedicated that they will not skate anything made for skating. Whether they have misinterpreted something is another issue. The video, via, is very good too, and I’d like a phila. zoo and or mummers deck. Those are good ideas. Also, I liked the fender logo board that was 8.25.

    Now youre back on track.

  15. Damn…that’s crazy….I could have sworn he would have rejoined Rasta Libre……No shit. I’m happy Jack found a home. It’s surprising nonetheless. Traffic has a huge team now. But he’s a real standout so I am sure he won’t be lost in the collage of riders they already have…

  16. wow with everyone so siked on the traffic team you figure they could coax someone into doin a decent graphic for a change.

  17. Traffic is ok. They have some pretty cool graphics, but they just keep shit simple. I can’t complain. The Philadephia Zoo one and the Mummers one was pretty dope. So is Jack gonna get some Rasta colorway boards? Keepin’ that shit Irie….

  18. jack aint really to hippie. he just skates like one. he quit satori for being so reefer centric. im with picasso.

  19. We need a Jack board…..hmmmm…Yeah, and I guess you’re right about him not being a hippie…Hippies don’t wear fitteds.

  20. Yeah, but I’m too lazy to look to see where to post them…This is more convient…So does anyone KNOW where the guy went or no?

  21. he moved away from NYC for school and told rick that he wasnt going to be “going for it” so to speak. dudes got tother stuff to do, which is cool. that dude rips.

  22. See, and it’s reason’s like that why I like Stein. He unlike half of the assholes on here, will eventually answer a question instead of just hating on me for asking…Thanks Stein. He’s my inside man from now on……
