Replying to Why did the faction crew switch from the CT to prodigy series?

I am watching the “this is home” video by the faction collective. It’s a few years old and all the freestyle guys (at least in Antti Ollila’s segment) are riding the candide series. As of 2019-ish, it seems like a lot of freestyles athletes jumped ship from the CT for Prodigy series.


I had some 2016 prodigy’s. They weren’t the toughest, but I remember them getting mad hate (which I don’t think they deserved) and I remember the roofbox review of them. So when they were popular, it made sense to me.
