I want to give Shitty his props though. He was making big shaped decks long before the current wave of “old school”. Back in 2000 he was putting out the original Shitbird decks, and his wheels followed soon after. For awhile they were the only big wheels you could get if you didn’t want to buy 80s stick.

Oh you’re right. Totally forgot about those ironic pink godoy wheels. Thanks for cutting through the subtext of this ad, Neil. Who hasn’t SHitbird Dave pissed off? Still like his wheels despite what Blackhart & the Godoys say.

you guys are missing the point. Who do you think they are flipping off, and why does the add say what it does? It’s a slap at shitbird. They had a falling out of some kind over the wheel, hence the advert.

That's funny, cause there is actually a Shitbird Godoy wheel.

If they only road Shitfires the ad could say, “Life’s short, ride shit!” or “Life’s too short to not ride shit!”
