What do you guys think are the best skate teams out there. I personally think FLiP has an excellent team. To quote.

"Flip has a deep pool of talent. Salabanzi will be around a while. Rowley is achieving legendary status. Arto and Apples' track records speak for themselves. Tom Penny is pure style and they got one of the best vert skaters in the world in Rune Glifberg. Then they have Boulala and Chalmers that both skate interesting spots."

Emerica. With Tosh, Leo, Spanky, Herman, Reynolds, Tempelton, Ellington, and Suski how can you not like the team.

dc has an awesome team (van engelen, dyrdek, way, kalis, mckay, gallant)....they have tight street skaters and fearless vert masters.

Deck Team - Flip because they have tech, hanrail, transition and vert skaters.
Shoe Team - DC for the same reasons.

EDIT: I think Blind has an amazing team aswell, infact when i think about it i'd put them ahead of Flip cos Flip doesn't have Ladd anymore

FIGHT!

Oh man. I have to type in 10 characters? That is lame.

Jesus, way to suck up, i have nothing agaisnt Fight! but the way some people act towards them is really annoying.

There is a difference between sucking up and stating a fact.

Compared to all the skate teams listed above, these guys are really for what skating is all about. The above skate teams represent one company, fueled by greed. Fueled by the need for money. Corprate sponsor bull----. Good 'old skating.

im shure all pro teams are not about money mate, thats a pretty stupid thing to say

CoffinGrinder
07-24-2005, 11:45 PM
Yeah but FIGHT! only sponsors them, they aren't pros. The question was favorite skate team. Not professional skate team. Anyways I envy FIGHT! whether or not they were on these forums or not, because that is something I couldn't do. It's a lot easier to skate for a company that is already established as a corporate franchise. And I would hardly label FIGHT! a "corporate franchise."

lets lay off the fight stuff guys. I'm tired of putting out fires.

Okay, good deal. My favorite skate team now, is FLiP.

(Personal Favorites.)
Deck: Chocolate. Reason; Looks like a fun team, also a quite good team.
Shoes: Globe. Reason; Well balanced team overall. Also have a friend on that team. (John Bartels)

Real has a very solid, underestimated team. They cover the general street with a ripper like Ernie Torres. They get techy with Hufnagel and Bravo. Ramondetta, Aultz, and Dompierre take it to the "gnar". Schaff dominates pools, mini's and vert ramps. Dennis Busenitz destroys absolutely everything with the speed that almost no one can. There's my two cents.

Almost is an awesome team. Rodney Mullen, Daewon Song, Ryan Sheckler...

Is almost making a video anytime soon?

Blind Sheppard
07-25-2005, 05:56 PM
Good god where have you been, they made one of the biggest films of 04, Almost Round 3? Ring any bells.

Idependant and flip. Why do some of the best skaters ride boards like flip. You'd think they would want a better board.

Those companies that make the crap wood produce better decks for the pros to ride. Examples are crailtap, dwindle, blitz, etc. I guess the only companies who sell the same boards to consumers as they give to the pros are Tum Yeto, DNA, and DLXSF.

Looks like I need to buy a skate video. The only stuff I've seen are the videos I won in THPS 4. And that video of Dany Way over the wall of China.

I'd go with ethier Emerica, or Girl.

Emerica just has a group of young skaters, with no sense of maturity.
From what I've read in magazines, it sounds like it would incredibly fun to hang around with them on tour.. espically with Kirchart, and Renyolds.

Girl would just be amazing, with Koston, McCrank, and Carrol.

Cliche were and still are good but not as good as they used to be due to the fact they kicked off one of their best riders in my opinion Franklin Stephens.
