They got bought by some investor and I think because of it the management changed - the brand couldn’t compete with other US brands and already had a lot of UK brands competing with them, the team didn’t like the new direction of the brand (I think they were going to try to sell in the corporate market perhaps?) aaaand I’m sure there were pay cuts. Basically Chewy had already left to start palace, then Vaughan left, and everyone starting leaving rapidly (literally in the space of about a week). Most of the team are either TMs/marketers/salesman for the big companies like Nike now, or they joined Palace/Isle etc. The company tried rebooting with Josh Love and Mike York but no one was into it and no one bought them.
I grew up watching bluprint videos and to see Paul Shier and Nick Jensen still cracking out tricks like this makes me proud to be British!
my favorite united nations!
