Sean Keane KICKED OFF Rollerblade BLANK Team!?

[@Andrew_DC5]

Was baffled to see him post this. He was the face of Blank! I’m sure i wasn’t the only one that bought them because of Seans skating.

[@phlebo_matt]

Silver lining...I'm sure there are boat loads of other boot companies that would love to have him.

[@bladeshred01]

That part!!

[@RollingPetetato]

Hopefully Standard will pick him up

[@NOISlights]

To be honest Sean looks like he should be skating for Mesmer

[@jamess3718]

or USD

[@SugedaBoss1]

This my cousin. It’s crazy seeing him on a KZbin video suggestions…

[@kevincollins8620]

You know... everyone gets the boot from Rollerblade. Even Barbie who was with Rollerblade before the aggressive division started got the boot and know rides Impala. She was with em since the early 90s 91 I believe.

[@rdgblading1813]

Looks like tecnica layed off a bunch of people. I bet we see blank dissapear in the near future😢

[@bladeshred01]

I'm wondering if his skate didn't sell as well as RB thought it would and decided to cut him/replace with a new rider

[@jamess3718]

some unknown wack job prob

[@pouringblue7]

He got did dirty, but will have the last laugh when he joins another and better team. Coming from a company that fired franky and broskow, nothing surprises me about Rollerblade and Black's decisions any more

[@kevincollins8620]

This is True. Franky famously said Eff Rollerblade almost 2 decades ago. Time flies.

[@timwright1647]

My overall assessment, this sucks. I love the SK Blank skate. Fits my feet perfectly, zero pain issues. I’ve never had a new pair of skates feel perfect on my feet straight out of the box. Love the durability too. But I hate hearing news like this about companies. I’d like to hear all the facts about what happened before jumping to any conclusions. But I cannot doubt the level of contribution Sean gave to Rollerblade. I hope he’s moving on to bigger and better things.

[@deionsandals423]

Gud vid Ben

[@BasicBuiltHawaii]

He just got back from a knee injury, thus the “lack of posts” during that period.

[@iRollerboot]

Ah word, that’s my bad

[@MudHere1]

There team really is blank now 😂

[@dillpring]

These non-core, non-skater owned companies come and go constantly. Rollerblade's Blank division will be gone soon. It's sad because Cameron deserved his pro skate! Sven should be living in a mansion as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure Tom Hyser is super bummed and tried everything to convince the higher ups to keep it going. The whole team will make the same posts soon. R.I.P. Blank...

[@dillpring]

Of course this is all speculation, an educated guess at best. If they just straight up canned Sean alone - they done fucked up. Even if they were laying off riders, he and Sven should be the last ones out.

[@klnrtrzn4449]

It would be cool to not only have SK's perspective oh this, but also give the other side an opportunity to explain things. Have you also asked Tom Hyer for a statement?

[@iRollerboot]

I reached out to Sean but he declined at this time. I completely agree. Best from the source. I didn’t reach out to Tom.

[@woooshskates7248]

Shocking that he's been let go. We know a lot to make assumptions but it's best to hopefully hear something official.

[@bewater4732]

I just don’t think the ‘rollerblade’ brand appeals to many aggressive skaters.

[@dumdidelidum]

Idk, back in 90s Rollerblade was the brand besides Roces, whenever one of them brought out a new model, that's what everyone was skating. Other Brands weren't even taken very seriously at the time.

[@flyingonblades]

Heaviest skate on the market = low sales? 🤔

[@kevincollins8620]

Hahaha. Nope. They are ugly. Which doesn't explain why xsjado sold well so don't listen to me. 😂

[@vpgnto]

i hope he's saved some for a rainy day

[@tinchotroncoso]

this is a marketing plan

[@TCHANKAPODCAST]

It means we never should call what we do “ rollerblading “ .

[@danielbuchanan2224]

He was hurt most of the Summer, lack of posting on Instagram probably due to that.

[@RacoonAndres]

I agree, he wasn´t posting very much and most of his posts were skiing

[@RollingPetetato]

Someone said that they got Austin Paz now which would be a big gain but I see no evidence 🤷

[@bfells]

14 years is way to long to keep the same riders , should be a 5 year contract turn around to give new riders more time in the light more flow ,

[@JustAnotherBlader]

Who else is even on the RB pro team lol

[@adamwallis8604]

Seriously? Cameron Talbot

[@JustAnotherBlader]

@@adamwallis8604 oh ya ok forgot talbot… anyone else??

[@thegameexperienceshow]

I just bought a pair past week. I feel like someone should give me my money back for the lack of transparency, i bought a lie

[@almostremembered]

1. This is old news so that's kinda on you, sorry 2. This is rollerblading...team riders come and go all the time

[@jamess3718]

TBH tho rb has been here for ever.....now they pull this shit ...it obvious they dont care...i wont be buyin shit from em

[@almostremembered]

Would you keep an employee that didn't live up to his monthly quotas for months on end? Not saying RB is totally in the clear, or that Sean deserved it, but there is a case to be made from the business side of things.

[@jamess3718]

@@almostremembered yes i would. cause they ain't puttin anyone else on the team.....at least IMO nobody that is GOOD. SK was the only thing IMO keepin the team alive ...tbh couldnt even tell you who else is on the team..prob cause they suck

[@almostremembered]

@@jamess3718 Look up Reed Huston. One of the best styles in rollerblading. He's on the team, though idk if he's pro for them or not.
