I think with the economy going downhill, he's probably going for a big company. That's what I would do. Lakai is just a skateboard shoe company so they can not write the big checks like Nike, Vans, Adidas and etc. I think it might be possible it's DVS, since they support the Berrics so much. Anyway, can't to find out.
Congratulations, Jim. I am awarding you with the Most Logical Response on this discussion. And can to find out, that is, that we will find out, once he makes his decision.
I don't think he would go back to eS. He left them because he wanted a stake in the company and they wouldn't allow it. DVS seems like a logical move because of all the support to the park and a lot of Girl/Chocolate rides for them too. But it would be sick if he wound up somewhere that nobody would expect, like the resurrected Axion.
well, DVS and Lakai are kinda like the same company. Even though carrol and howard own lakai, they still get their manufacturing done with the same place as DVS. Gavin does it all really. So i would think ether SB, Etnies, Adidas, or some other new brand. SB and Adidas would be like prob a higher paying company or w/e, but if he goes to etnies he is with mikey, malto, and all those people. I have most of my guess on going to Etnies.
I think that personally it's a bad idea, because Fully Flared was arguably the best video in years. And all his friends are on the team. But, I don't know why he did it so I have no room to talk. I wish he would tell us why.
Most of the lakai team rides for Fourstar, Girl or Chocolate so it wouldn't make much of a difference. Plus, pros don't stop skating with their friends just because they have different sponsors.
