I used to back Ben Kadow but now his silly outfits are really outshining his skating. He looked like someone’s little brother that tagged along on the trip

K-Rod's hair says "Hockey," but his trick selection still says "Oh Yeah Oh Yeah Oh Yeah."

Damn, spot on. Gnar’d.

He fucked up.
Funny because Polar doesn’t need him. It’s not like anyone was disappointed by “We Blew It” due to his absence, but also think of how much better that video could have been with him in it, which is crazy because it’s already incredible.
He’s also done next to nil since the move to Hockey, which is a huge bummer.
I hope we see more footy of him soon.
I hope I'm wrong but I wouldn't be too surprised if he goes the Kevin Terpening way... He was never a productive skater, and he probably peaked in terms of wallrides possibilities.

I don't know that he fucked up. In that interview from around the time he switched teams it sounded like he didn't really want the pressure of being on Pontus's program anymore. So, he might be doing exactly what he wants to be doing. It's a disappointment to me, because I thought his parts in the Polar videos and that B/W Cons spot and a bunch of the Blobys videos were cool. For me, once Supreme really came into the picture something shifted and his skating wasn't quite as exciting (maybe that's just an aesthetics thing, as I do tend to get more stoked on Polar stuff than I do Supreme). I hope that changes, cause I'm sure he can do more and I'd like to see it.

It’s so easy to tell that Louie has like the only actual pro footage in this video.

Also Sage = Drake

I feel like Pontus's reputation as a Euro/bizarro Jamie Thomas is well known at this point. I can absolutely see how someone would grow weary of that and want off. Also, hasn't K-Rod been hurt?

Hope kadow completes his look with an actual heroin addiction so he doesn't clog up these videos with his shitty gimmick.  God what a fucking shit stain.

Awesome skating otherwise.  Sage skates like of the greats just cruising around goofing off (but unlike the greats he is probably skating at 100%).  Not a diss.  Nestor and Evan schiefelbien did that too.  They were all so hyped over a fakie fs crook, which is kind of funny, but it looked great.

I dont know how accurate that is. Thomas wanted a lot of control over a skater's image. He had the ams living and working at the skatepark/warehouse, and took on a military persona.

From what I've read Pontus really pushes that his skaters have a consistent Instagram presence which I feel is reasonable. With K-rod's situation I also remember reading that he needed a little more coaching because his skating was a bit rough around the edges. Not wanting to post on Insta all the time seemed to be the driving force of his departure.

Of course this is all stuff I'm reading in articles, the real story could be quite different.

Man, Louie is leagues above the rest of them, skill wise. KB is dope.

Did not care for the rest of it.


Exactly the same thing I thought. Louie fucks them all up.

Maybe we're not specifically talking "image," but Pontus is similar to Jamie in that he's a somewhat aggressive personality who has expectations of his brand and team, and that attitude towards skateboarding can turn some people off. Speaking beyond K-Rod's situation now, I know he's pushed skateboarders to "retire" when their careers are far from over.

Dude wishing a heroin addiction on anyone is really really fucked up

that interview, IMO, made K Rod look super bad.

He basically complained that Pontus wanting him to actually film and shoot ads, and to show people that he was skating. Which to me felt super fair. You're a pro skater, and your boss lets you know that you need to act like one.

In one of the first questions, he says he's dealt with two serious injuries in 2017/2018 (around the time of his switch), but he also says he was totally willing to not be a "pro" anymore and take a back seat because of his attitude, which Pontus rejected, so he called his bluff and left. He said something similar in his Jenkem book interview, as well. I get the whole "you're pro, act like it" argument, but if he's expressed that he's dissatisfied with his current arrangement and okay with the consequences from that, and someone else is willing to work with him in that sense, why should K-Rod stick around?

Not sure if I should be stoked or bummed that my joke started this argument. Though it does feel like a SLAP achievement.

Don’t get the Kadow appeal. 


Any AVE footage is gold.
I was impressed with the KB and Sage footage.
AA is the king of flip tricks into sketchy banks.
Louie could be the most talented skateboarder out there right now. Noticeably better and more productive than everyone else in this.

Always love seeing ANY footage of Dill

Louie is just SO much better than anyone on that squad. I think he is the kind of addition to a team that pushes dudes to step their shit up, but there are a few now more than ever that are just glaring examples of fashion over function.

All-in-all, nice little video.

new trash can trick I guess I’ll throw it in here. At this point I’d say the sw bs flip is most impressive

Get fired up

K-Rod's hair says "Hockey," but his trick selection still says "Oh Yeah Oh Yeah Oh Yeah."

Damn, spot on. Gnar’d.

He fucked up.
Funny because Polar doesn’t need him. It’s not like anyone was disappointed by “We Blew It” due to his absence, but also think of how much better that video could have been with him in it, which is crazy because it’s already incredible.
He’s also done next to nil since the move to Hockey, which is a huge bummer.
I hope we see more footy of him soon.

I hope I'm wrong but I wouldn't be too surprised if he goes the Kevin Terpening way... He was never a productive skater, and he probably peaked in terms of wallrides possibilities.

I don't know that he fucked up. In that interview from around the time he switched teams it sounded like he didn't really want the pressure of being on Pontus's program anymore. So, he might be doing exactly what he wants to be doing. It's a disappointment to me, because I thought his parts in the Polar videos and that B/W Cons spot and a bunch of the Blobys videos were cool. For me, once Supreme really came into the picture something shifted and his skating wasn't quite as exciting (maybe that's just an aesthetics thing, as I do tend to get more stoked on Polar stuff than I do Supreme). I hope that changes, cause I'm sure he can do more and I'd like to see it.

I feel like Pontus's reputation as a Euro/bizarro Jamie Thomas is well known at this point. I can absolutely see how someone would grow weary of that and want off. Also, hasn't K-Rod been hurt?
[close]

From what I've read Pontus really pushes that his skaters have a consistent Instagram presence which I feel is reasonable. With K-rod's situation I also remember reading that he needed a little more coaching because his skating was a bit rough around the edges. Not wanting to post on Insta all the time seemed to be the driving force of his departure.

Of course this is all stuff I'm reading in articles, the real story could be quite different.
I think the Instagram thing contributed a bit but probably wasn’t the driving force. Unless Pontus’ opinions on that have changed which is possible. The reason I say that is Dane Brady hasn’t posted more than a few things in years and none of it hasn’t been of himself skating in even longer. Roman and Paul never post their own skating either either

Skill wise obviously Louie is amazing, but I’ve never considered him a stylish skater and I’m surprised that some of yall do. To me he’s one of those textbook, perfect, so clean it borders on boring dudes. Sage, KB, even aged Gino and Dill, TJ, some other FA dudes who’s name I don’t know... the way they do their tricks grab my attention more. I remember being confused when yall wanted him to be SOTY if not Tiago the other year. Louie is smooth but his skating doesn’t move me like that.

so you must think the guy in your sig doesn't have good style... Cuz he makes it look so easy

Not at all.  Ishod doing incredibly hard tricks while looking like he’s half asleep is stylish and there are more things that make Ishods style unique.  Dudes who do everything textbook perfect like a video game character don’t have a style.
