As we previously reported, Austyn Gillette and Elijah Berle had a long-running beef that skateboarders kept talking about for a while.

Since then, things cooled down between the two, and they eventually moved past it without dragging it out any further.

Instead of letting outside opinions or online talk keep things going, both skaters stepped away from that and handled it privately.

What was once tension between them did not carry forward into their current direction.

There were also comparisons made online at one point, including commentary from YouTube skater Gifted Hater, who related their situation to other celebrity disagreements such as Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber.

That added even more attention to something that was already being discussed in the skateboarding community.

Now things look very different.

The two are on good terms, and Berle has officially joined Former, the media and apparel brand founded by Austyn Gillette.

The brand also includes names like Dane Reynolds and Craig Anderson, building a team that blends skateboarding, surfing influence, and creative projects.

Former shared the announcement on their page with a simple message:

“WELCOME TO FORMER // Elijah Berle ( @berlehaggard )”
