    Even tho we're just making the announcement now, Rob is actually kind of an OG on the team because when we saw him and connected with him, Primitive was under a year old, it was just me, Nick, Carlos and Bastien. Just four pros and one flow kid. We took him under our wing to help him progress and evolve in to what we believed he would become, and when I watch Rob skate now it’s hard to believe. He’s been with us on so many trips and skated so many demos with us, I think kids see him as part of the team already anyway. When the people are demanding it, usually that’s when it’s time to make it official so here it is, Robert Neal: welcome to the team. Officially!” - Paul Rodriguez

    Paul Rodriguez is a good mentor. Never been controversial or a drugged out loser groping girls on tour videos. A class act. I'm glad he's influencing the next generation to make skateboarding last.

      I remember skating in the 90’s, as soon as Everton saw Paul skate, it was pure finesse, style for miles... & the fact that he’s such a good person really makes it that much better!

    Dude is seriously good on a board, and HAS THE RIGHT MINDSET. I've known plenty of good cats turn to crime and get locked up when they had real talent on a board. Use your talents please! I had a friend, 13 when I met him could barely Ollie. Our group that skated was older around 16-18 and we sort of took him under our wing. Drove him to spots or to the park to skate, he came from a hard life, no dad mom was sick with cancer etc. Just a hard life. When he skated he was the happiest most fun dude to be around on and off the board. This kids style developed so fast and it seemed so easy for him that he started to outshine us the older guys. He had pop to the ceiling as well, everything tweaked it was nasty...but when he was around 18-19 he got locked up for 3 years for a B&E was all coked out etc. Prior he stopped hanging with us and started hanging out with the wrong people, no matter how hard we fought him on it. If he would've kept his head on straight or maybe we could've been harder on him he would be in a better place. He's out now but has to start over and he's a convicted felon..I feel really happy for this dude Robert, but sad as well because he reminds me of what my friend use to be like.

    Met Robert, Kevin White, and Danta Hill yesterday at our local skate park in Sydney. They pulled up and shook everyones hands eye to eye , introducing themselves by name, and skated with us all day along. Super humble guys that really brought a lot of good energy and made everyone feel good about their skating regardless of what they're respective skill levels were. There's a new generation of guys on the come up that are very humble and grateful and I really commend them for being a good role model to the younger kids.

He's talented, but personally I don't think he's good enough yet to be officially on Primitive. Just like some of their other riders

    The fact that he's this good and his first board was a JR PlanB blew my mind and shows how fast time is passing.

    This guy is so smooth! I love that fs 180 at 1:10, the wall kinda obscures his pop so it looks like he just floats over it.
