Never heard Mason until now and he seems down to earth, intelligent and respectful. I'm an old skater and real skaters are always candid and honest about their surroundings it seems like.

I'm curious to hear how Element has been received by the skate community throughout the years. When I was getting into skateboarding, I was a loner and lived in a bit of an echo chamber when it came to brands I supported (which were a lot). And one of them was Element. I had one Element board in my life, and It was not the best. It may have been that one specific board, but I didn't ride another one after that, even though I thought about getting another one. Then, I remember reading some interviews with Mike V and Vanessa Torres (Her interview was on the Jenkem Mag site), and they kinda described the same thing: that Element felt more like of a machine than it was a board company. I guess that explains the numerous team riders that they had. Who knows? Some of them may have been happy over there (Bam Margera; Nyjah Huston), while others were not-so-happy (Mike V; Vanessa). So, I don't Know. Just wanted to get some thoughts on Element as a brand/board company from you guys. Any interviews or forums I should read? Are the boards (other than the one I had) any good?

Around the 2000s Element was ripping Alien Workshop's graphic design, which was good and original. They eventually hired away the designer from Alien Workshop... whole thing smelled bad. Didn't feel like they had their own thing, also mention in some mag (Big Brother?) about the CEO wearing a turtleneck (?). Anyway skateboard brand identity is a precarious thing, most important for the consumer imo is who presses the boards. You want American or Canadian; Bareback is the best.

You gotta watch Tyson Peterson’s interview on the Ripride podcast with Andy Roy, he gives a great point of view on why he left element. In my opinion, I strictly rode element boards for awhile and once all the guys left recently (Evan, Mason, Tyson) I wanted to ride their new boards and after that I noticed how extremely lame Element is as a company, their boards feel pretty shitty, they promote the hell out of their most famous pro’s (Bam and Nyjah) that are infamous to a lot of the skating community, and like Tyson said in the Ripride podcast, it took 3 pro’s to leave just for the to make Chris Coulborn pro +the guy is like 30 already, they flood their pro’s with contracts and dumb shit like things they force people to post on Instagram or restrictions, etc. The company just isn’t as cool as they used to be.

Best boards I've ever skated were Almost, Plan B, DGK and Zoo Yorks. I've had quite a few elements and I've always liked them. The only one I didn't care for was a fiber light I had. It blew dong..Best deck I ever had was a Daewon Song Almost with the joy division graphic. I did so many rad tricks on that deck but it broke within a month lol
@edenstrang 4 жыл бұрын
If you want a "good" board the brand doesn't matter.. you have to look up who is pressing the wood. You can find out which distributors are using which pressing plants online. My experience has been that Bareback (BBS) in San Marcos makes the toughest boards, that's from a stretch in my late teens where I'd break a deck every week or two.

When a skater quits a company do they have to pull his boards off the shelf? How does that work can they not sell his boards anymore even the ones that are already made?

I may be wrong but I'd imagine that you sell the rights to your name on the product so they can still sell them I think but they have to pay royalties I'd imagine.
@comicbookprodigy995 4 жыл бұрын
A good example is Jason Lee. Dude hasn't skated professionally in 20 years. But Blind, or whoever owns them now, still sell his boards (reissues) even though he's officially a part of Stereo. It's on a person-to-person basis. All depends on how bad the split was.

@tresfordays9644 Жыл бұрын
It depends, if the boards are already made and out in shelves it doesn’t matter, they are still gonna sell them, if the graphics or boards haven’t been announced yet they probably aren’t gonna promote someone who just left their company
@solidrock6524 Жыл бұрын
Now that I've educated myself a little better I'm pretty sure they'd have someone sanding the old graphics off if they had to to sell those boards. And if a board did go out with his name and graphic on it after he quit or as he quit they would sell it and keep 100% of the money. If they break off the skater even a little bit after he's quit I'd be surprised

I cannot understand how anyone could go and be sponsored by Nike an absolute garbage company. Skater owned like Zero, Fallen, Straye, Emerica(and its parent company Sole Tech) and so on are the only ones that exist to me.
@suburbanshrub6675 4 жыл бұрын
explain in detail why you think Nike is a garbage company without using bias or "because they didn't start out in skateboarding" or some bullshit hive mind excuse. Your most likely argument would be because it is a big corporation and skateboarding is about a counterculture movement, which would be very ironic of you to say considering you would literally be playing the role of a sheep following the hive mind "Nike is bad" mentality that many old school skaters seem to harbor. By following the collective opinion of antiNike you become the very thing you set out to defy.

What happened to loyalty? Skaters just flake out after a full length, toy machine and zero riders stayed. I'm sure there are times when they weren't getting paid a lot, but they didn't just leave because they felt like it. Either way I hope big board brands don't give him a chance, he'll just leave because his friends did or they won't have the same memories like did before the full length. What a joke

Where's the loyalty back? Their responsibility of taking care of his schedule and making sure he would stay when other companies would pay more was non-existent. It was an afterthought. I think of it as a wonderful learning curve for element. Bet they step up their contract game a bit. He literally helped other skaters make more money. Kudos. Lol fuck your loyalty comment.
@freemang.f7357 4 жыл бұрын
So companies just invest thousands into skaters, build up a video and they won't renew his contract? Why would a company do that? The only thing saving this pretentious pro skater is his Nike check, nobody cares about this guy until am scramble came out, he got his several months of recognition, goes pro, element comes out with a full length, and he leaves shortly after?? Let me guess, he's gonna start or ride for small "unique" skate company and it'll have trendy hipster graphics. Either way, element wasted money and time on this joke. Have fun fan girling over some faceless Nike skater
