What the fuck happened to Welcome skateboards?
Seems most of their team is gone and they have Jordan Sanchez as the brand mascot, the new promo on Thrasher was nothing like their old videos. What's going on with Welcome? Where did Nolan, Jesse Alba, and Mango go?

How are the prices in the USA ?
Welcome boards? They range from $45-$55 although their "old school" board costs around $60Originally Posted by HHristov
Setup
Deck: 8.5 Skatewarehouse Blank
Trucks: Independent 149s
Wheels: 52mm Spitfire formula fours full conical shape
Bearings: Modus abec 3
Griptape: Pink FKD
Hardware: Modus 7/8 allen key
Shoes: CTAS Highs
The price seems ok for the US. I really want one, but they are quite expensive in Europe. I can get krooked or real for 50 euros, while Welcome are around 65 and thats for the 8.25 sizes. The 8.5 and bigger get to 70-75 Euros
even with the team changes its still a sick brand tho my homie has a welcome board
Read around on this, apparently Welcome makes quite the bank and sells a ton of boards, but still didn't pay their riders at all. Also it seems the whole brand was kind of molded by Nolan and the owner of the company just rode on his coat tails until it became successful. Would like to read a Jenkem interview with one of their past riders.
anyone else think its ironic that ryan townley is on welcome now? He's sponsored by HUF(who kicked off Ryan Lay for riding for welcome a while back).
