Who Is Riding Indy Now?
Really Indy?
Why would you have Tony Hawk ride for Indy? Okay, if he wants to ride your trucks, let him. There is no way stop him from doing so. You didn’t have to put him on the team though. Indy, you lost me when you came out with Indy Lows. Sorry for all you guys that got Indy tattoos, haha.
Years, upon years of Tracker ads with Tony Hawk. Now he rides for Indy. Tony kills it in the video but he’s not “an Indy skater” in my eyes.
haters gonna hate!!!
Haters !! Who gives a fuck !!
RI, do you ride indy? cuz if so I think i’m gonna change mine… you suck man
Good luck with that switch.
whoever wrote this is dumb
“Sorry for all you guys that got Indy tattoos, haha.” Cant tell if serious.
A pointless post based on image more than talent. Pretty sad when you consider Tony Hawk has always been ahead of his time and will always be even if you like it or not. In my eyes, he’s got « carte blanche » on whatever company he feels like riding for in the skateboard industry.
Bien d’accord avec Nic
As we all know, brands are more about who rides for them then the quality of their product itself. That’s why companies have sponsored skaters in the first place. Do you guys really think that Blood Wizard or Heroin Skateboards would have Tony Hawk ride for them? Not every company wants to be associated with the Tony Hawk name. The other side of the story is how much does the company have to give up to have so and so skater on their team? For Tony Hawk, he’s getting paid large for every one of his sponsors for sure. As a company, do you sponsor Tony Hawk or five other big name pros for the same price?
Image is everything in this world Nic. If you have the right image, you make money; if not then enjoy what you can get. I wish talent (and quality) was more important in this world but it just isn’t.
well put ri , thanks for speaking your mind.
Nick à mon point ici. Et Koston la dedans? Il ride le même bout de métal qui relis ces roues et ça planche de bois. Je ride des bouts de métal low depuis 1993.
This is the worst piece of shit article ive seen on this website. Whoever wrote this should be fired.
gett out of the closet!
“For Tony Hawk, he’s getting paid large for every one of his sponsors for sure. As a company, do you sponsor Tony Hawk or five other big name pros for the same price?”
Dumbest comment ever said in exposé! lol, especially coming from Ri. I’ll bet you 50 bucks he hardly gets paid shit, this is for him to remain relevant more than anything else.
“As we all know, brands are more about who rides for them then the quality of their product itself. ” Second dumbest comment ever said on exposé! lol, especially coming from Ri. (Even if technically true, you just don’t say that shit out loud)
The Skateboard industry is a big pile of sell out shit (note: i wrote industry, not skateboarding), so WTF is the big surprise fools?
When super sized skate shops in factory outlets can still front being core, and niggas can be dressed head to toe in Monster logos without getting punched in the head, then all games are off.
Ri shut the fuck up and go buy a Margo Walker board at Empire if you want to feel mentally raped by the industry, leave the poor Hawkster alone, he’s only getting props cuz his kid is so fucking rad and he’s riding Riley’s coat tails.
Plus … doesn’t tracker make longboard trucks now and is owned by Woodchuck?
and … JKL what fucking rock did you just slide on out from, go back to your Social Media Search Marketing Tool and go do damage control somewhere else you sock puppet sounding douche.
Anyone who knows shit all, knows that a blogger on a french skate magazine blog don’t get paid shit, ya moron … and if they “fire” Ri all we’ll have to read on this site is goddam ULC posts by Nic day in and day out and some artfag photo essays by Dan.
“Image is everything in this world Nic. If you have the right image, you make money; if not then enjoy what you can get. I wish talent (and quality) was more important in this world but it just isn’t.”
Ri are you on your period?
Hawk is Skateboardings ambassador 4 many many years to the gumball mainstream…clearly Indy will embrace this fact…..20 years ago things were more “core” and Indy was a movement in itself….Today Indy makes stonewash jeans that I see all day on Cresent st! on dudes that don’t sk8….Indy is a brand..and then a truck company!
Good for Big Tone and Indy! Skate what your stoked on! I Skate Ace Trucks.
I will agree it was a suprise at first…..But Tony Hawk answers to nobody but himself…He’s Tony Hawk The Respect is gold for Indy…and Skateboarding is big BUSINESS.
plus it’s a no brainer Indy or Tracker…you make the choice! Props 2 Tony.
No one should ride indys unless they done some jail time or been smart enough to avoid it
Having said that, I’m down with the choices indy has made. It’s all about the positivity you bring to skateboarding. Does anyone hear this? GIVE TO SKATEBOARDING BECAUSE YOU LOVE IT NOT BECAUSE OF FUCKING MONEY- clear? plus they turn OK
PS- Does everyone realise that Hawk on Indy is a milestone?
