How to Get Sponsored by Adidas | Karl Watson, pt. 2 | The Braille Drop Podcast Ep 9

In the 2nd part of our conversation with the legendary Karl Watson, we dive deep into the evolving world of skateboarding. We discuss how skateboarding, once a bastion of individualism, has seen its originality fade as social media has surged. We also explore the intriguing possibility that Karl Watson might have pioneered the Crooked grinds. Karl's journey to becoming a pro skater and his mission to introduce beginners and their parents to the essence of skateboarding through his books are also on the table. We address the issue of hazing new skateboarders and the crucial need for skate companies to help their pros plan for life after the spotlight fades. Lastly, we hear about Karl experience at Adidas and his vision and process for assembling the team at his new skate company, Maxallure. Tune in for a fresh perspective on skateboarding's past, present, and future.
