Ok so ive noticed that lots of threads about team changes within the industry have been put up recentaly. So i thought to myself "we need just one big thread for that stuff"
Then we can all keep up with big and small name team changes easy... yeah.


Here goes my first little snippit of stuff to get the ball rolling (yes a lot of this is old news)

P Rod is off silver and onto thunder.
Darrell Stanton is off Plan B and as far as i know still hasnt got a new board sponcer. (correct me if he has)
Dan Cates is off Vans, that new bloke from Heroin is on, and Cates goes to Vox for his shoes.
Elissa Steamer on zero.
Dave Allen is the newest in the Death pro ranks.
And Ex Black Label pro Patrick Melcher, is STILL in sponcership limbo for a plank of wood.



So you get it now, add more.

in this months sidewalk p-rod is in a pic promoting the new silver a class trucks

P-Rod IS off silver

well thats a bit fukin stupid then if he IS off silver and hes in this months sidewalk

Because the advert was printed before he made the move.

he is still on the silver site as on the team

anyone got any info on where hes guna move to

thunder trucks apparantly

this thread would be a good idea if sponsership was spelt properly

World have dropped theyre entire pro team
Sheckler is rumoured to be off almost
Salabanzi has been dropped by flip
Plan b are rumoured to be anouncing two new pros since the departure of stanton.

Really? Source?

here

interesting

ive heard a rumour of a mate that bastiens off to plan b, but im not sure how beleivable that info is

Yeah thats flying round too, will have to see who the new pro's plan b have lined up

salabanzi is the best skater on flip imo, theres no way they dropped him, he must have left if he really is off flip

The official press release from flip read:

Due to irreconcilable differences of opinion, Flip Skateboards has decided to terminate sponsorship and support of Bastien Salabanzi.

Although this has been a very difficult decision, we believe it to be in the best long term interests of both parties.

Flip wishes Bastien good health and success in his future.

Its on plenty of websites, apparently he turned up at some demos, with a guitar instead of his skateboard.

yeah i cant spell shhh

Ha ha thats clas bout Bastien.

The guys got an amazing amount of talent, shame about his ego though.

Colt Cannon & Jake Rupp are off of Element.

Ah, that explains where Stanton is heading then!

Although I don't really think he suits Element, he has too much style...

Eric Koston is now officailly getting free Lakai shoes.

Richie Jackson joins his fellow Death pro Dan Cates over at Vox for the things you wrap your feet in.

Andrew Brophy is officailly on Fourstar clothing as is Nick Jensen.

Braydon Szafranski has turned pro for Baker.

Patrick Melcher gets free Pig Wheels.

Rory Milanes and Nick Stansfield or on Landscape flow.

Ben Grove follows Cates and is off the Vans UK team and is rumored to be involved with new UK shoe brand Mcarta Grove also gets his wheels curtesy of the nice people over at Satori.

and Dainton has got some limited shoes and clothes from the nice people at Etnies.

Steffan Janoski has converted from Etnies to Nike SB. He was the main pro on Etnies and was a massive move to make to such a new skateboarding company.

patrick melchers on death now

are you shitting me!?

nope its the truth

Kris Markovich starts CRIMSON SKATEBOARDS with team Richie Belton, James Atkin and Lizard King
Ragdoll on Birdhouse

source please?

its 100% confirmed.

Thats an awfull lot of high profile coverage for death then and they will probably get into the american scene a lot more now.


Actually thats INSANE! he is such a high profile american skater! Death are waaaay ahead of Blueprint in america now.

ragdolls on birdhouse?!

i think melcher owes getting a new board sponsor to kingpin mag, he had an interview in thier this month where they spoke quite alot about his sponsors, and how he was off black label.

does any1 know where alex chalmers has gone to

danny garcia is off lakai, so ive heard

ricky oyola has a guest board on death aswell

windsor james is on mystery

busentitz is on addidas

sweet jesus Death are getting some respect.

considering death started as a pisstake-company they are starting to get pretty serious about everything

I think him being on their Big Push had something to do with it.

That long haired bearded git who rides for almost now tripple flips to fakie from blunt in globes

is that his first ever shoe sponsor?

quite possibly, although he might have been on flow for a few different companys over the years as he seems to be wearing different brands all the time.. watch his round 3/cheese and crackers footage, you'll see what i mean

Globe team will be vastly improved with him.

jody smith is on alien workshop. heard that from the man himself.

Rob welsh has escaped the zoo and found himself on santa cruz and jerry hsu has been added to the huge ricta team.

yeah, why do wheel companies always have pretty ridiculous teams compared to boards and shoes? like, ricta and spitfire have so many.

their reputation, most other companies aside from Autobahn are imprints of board sponsors so naturally people are going to want to be sponsored by people who "know" wheels.

Spitfire wheels could make a decent skate video if they wanted to, im sure the company would have enough money to fund it.

Brian Wenning... off habitat and on plan b
