Brian Anderson Leaves Girl, Leaves Me With A Broken Heart.

So, Brian Anderson left Girl. This really surprised me. After leaving me wanting more from "Pretty Sweet", I was hoping to see more of him in at least the bonus edit the put out. Like most of my girlfriends, I was left unfulfilled  I wanted more. I guess, for now, I'll have to wait for the new Nike SB video, which I don't like watching in the first place.

The silver lining in all of this is it looks like he will be starting his own brand. I can say that it will be the first non Jeric's (my local shop) or Girl/Chocolate board I've purchased in 15 years. Let's hope he sticks with his shape, because I've really like his. Although Vincent Alvarez's is really starting to grow on me.

With Jason Dill and AVE leaving Alien Workshop, there are rumors already circulating they are all starting a company together. While this might be a possibility  it's a small one at that. It seems more likely that he would start a company with a fellow San Francisco resident, which I hope would be Elissa Steamer. I've always loved her skating, and always bummed she has never released a full video part. It's always the same excuse, "they didn't get enough footage", but I rarely ever believe that. Proof of this is in the "Pretty Sweet" bonus edit, and the recent release of the Justin Eldridge "full part re-edit".

For arguments sake, why the hell wasn't he given at least TWO or THREE more minutes in the video? Would that have killed Ty? Oh well, back on point.

Seeing Brian Anderson start his own company will (hopefully) be awesome, but I hate the idea of it not working. Not all start ups from guys wanting to "branch out" always work. I'd hate to see him start one, then slowly become a failure, then have him retire. This could all happen in the next two to three years, which would probably mean retirement. I know he is in his mid/late 30's, which could very easily mean even him just running his own company.

Let's hope not.
