Matt Rodriguez, you fools!

So, yeah, it is now “official” official, Matt Rodriguez is back on Stereo skateboards, and it’s a GOOD thing! Not in a “all parties involved will see their stock options raise in the new six months” way, but just in a “this is how things should be” type of things. Now, all of you might be familiar with Matt’s amazing contribution to skateboarding over the years, so just as a reminder, here is his recent part in the I-Path promo.

Some might say, he was the only one actually skating in that one, but that’s another debate. All you need to know is the man with the mostest loose trucks in business, and who offered tricks such as fakie feeble grind on ledges or fakie backside 50-50 frontside half cab out (in lines), is going to have a board out soon in the Stereo Classics Divisions, and hopefully, a part in their next video.

P.S: this is coming from the least irie of our staff, believe or not. Hell, even Jim Greco backs Matt Rodriguez, that says a lot!

(as a reminder, here’s an excerpt from a TWS interview Greco gave in 2003:

“-What are some of the things you don’t like about the skateboard industry?

-Some things I don’t like? How about a so-called righteous company like IPath giving a guy, their team rider Matt Rodriguez, the option to design a signature shoe, and then when it comes out looking really good they just say they’re going to call it the “Cat, and he doesn’t see dollar one of the royalties. That’s something I think is f—ked up about the skateboard industry.")
