I met him a long time ago at the berrics so I'm probably biased, but I don't think he's sucking up to people, I think he's just trying to be nice and is nonconfrontational similar to the guys at the 9 club.
As far as the terminology he uses, I don't think it's any different from skaters using slang. After a while you forget that not everyone knows what these terms mean. I had to explain to my parents once that when I said I "ate shit yesterday" I just meant I fell really hard.
I get that the golf stuff is corny in skateboarding, but the guy isn't in skateboarding anymore. It'd be different if he was trying to play both worlds but he's really just full on real estate and barely even mentions skating anymore.
Not trying to glaze I just genuinely hate seeing pros I looked up to get stuck working terrible jobs because they never invested their money and I'm glad someone like Mikey is at least putting information out there. If people can see that someone from the same community was able to do it perhaps that will make it feel more obtainable for them as well.
Duh

Your first point is a good one, I cut that part out of my YouTube video based on your comment. As for the rest of it I don’t like Mikey at all. He’s a sycophant. There’s plenty of people online who you can learn about financing from that are straight forward dudes not trying to impress you with buzzwords and golf horse shit

That wasn't the point he made about Mikey and his company. Mikey very clearly states that his intention is to make money.
It's also ironic that he justifies skaters not being paid as much as company employees because they "can get shoe sponsors" which are almost always massive corporations who also only care about money.
Duh
2024-04-07 06:26:12 +0000 UTC
You missed the whole point of the video, man.
No one cares if they “chase a bag” just be honest about it, very simple.

Sorry dude but this is a terrible take and it's a shame so many skaters see things this way.
You have to be an accredited investor to invest with Mikey, meaning you make 200k/ year or have a net worth over $1 million not including your house. Most people are never going to meet that criteria yet they can still benefit tremendously from his advice.
He gives great financial advice that 99% of skateboarders (and most people in general) wouldn't hear otherwise. The same goes for mindset. Most people never start saving or investing because they don't think they can. In reality, it's just like skating- start small, and work your way up.
You're also focusing on Mikeys yt when it's his least active platform. He mostly posts on tiktok and IG and his posts do really well there because there's clearly an audience.
It seems super hypocritical for everyone to complain when skaters go broke at 32 but when there's people from the community giving good advice they get made fun of.
I say this as a lifelong skateboarder/financial advisor who hates seeing pros become Uber drivers and work in warehouses.
Duh

Bro I'm proud of P Rod. He took his business farther than the dudes who put him on. We're not supposed too appreciate because we didn't come up with him. It's the exact same thing with Jim Thebuae with DLX distribution and Huf with Huf clothing and everything he made. Huf is worldwide now it's gone much farther than any DLX brand. I think that's something to be respected.

im starting to sound like a damn broken record over here but loved the vid. you have a beautiful brain my friend.
Its so weird ive always respected prod for his skating and honestly have seen primitave as one of the elite brands around but i have never, and would never ever buy anything primative. i havent even been CLOSE to wanting to buy something lol such a strange concept

Success-win content is the fucking enemy. It appears that prolonged exposure to Mikey's buzzwords has left P-Rod beyond help. Sad.

The P-Rod lobotomy vid was epic lol
P-Rod seemed truly afraid of everything he was about to say, then he’d say it and everything was a self own, contradiction, or complete explanation for the sad state of Primitive 😆
I love him conflating his skill on a skateboard with his right to crank out garbage corporate collabs
Highly entertaining!

Something that matters a lot for “the industry” is the amount of new skaters that are created each year. Every industry and brand has a natural churn rate. People get old, die, or just move onto other things. Are brands creating more new skaters than we lose in a year?

Another banger of a video. Joa has a rare talent to make us detach from the person (partially, 100% free bias is impossible 😅) and discuss their ideas or attitudes, he appreciates the Primitive videos and he will call out P-Rod in videos like this. I do relate to it a lot, but beware that the average person takes it too personally.
Regarding the topic "is skateboarding doing well or not" you can find reports about it, but a quick source of research is checking how much "skateboarding" was searched on Google Trends:
- 2004 and before: skateboarding's peak, this becomes the 100% standard
- 2005-2010: massive decline, staying at 28% of it's peak
- 2011-2016: another decline, staying at 10% of it's peak
- 2017-2022: slow decline, staying around 6% of it's peak
- 2023-Now: the chart flatten at 5% of it's peak, the worst numbers in history
Disclaimer: this is not totally accurate regarding money/investment, but fun to try because it shows how something is popular throughout time, which helps to find patterns regarding number of users and sales.
