Professional skateboarder Manny Santiago recently made headlines in the skateboarding community when he announced his departure from Jart Skateboards, a company he had been associated with for only ten months.
Santiago took to social media to explain his decision and shed light on why he departed.
In a heartfelt YouTube video, Santiago revealed his departure from Jart Skateboards, expressing gratitude for the opportunities and support he received during his time with the company.
One of the main factors behind Santiago's departure from Jart was the difficulty skating with his homies.
In his explanation, he stated that his vision for the direction of his career and the brand's vision was no longer aligned, especially when a close friend gave him a better offer.
By parting ways with Jart, MSA aims to pursue opportunities that will allow him to evolve further as a skateboarder and expand his influence on the skate industry.
