English term (edited): He is off his face. This guy is faceless.

This is slang that refers to a skateboarder who rides a generic skateboard and doesn't have any helpful logos or identification or brand names on their board or uniform or equipment. Most skateboarders have all sorts of logos / patches / stencils all over their equipment and they are usually the names of companies or supporters or equipment manufacturers related to the sport. In this case, they are saying that this skateboarder bears no markings and, therefore, is perceived as not doing as much as they could to promote and advance the sport of skateboarding. The one reference should suffice but I can provide others, if need be. Bonne chance. HTH.

Alexander, read this: "Non-branded boards and blanks are the single worst thing for the skateboard industry because the individuals that are creating these boards aren’t supporting anything but themselves. **They have no face**, therefore they have no accountability, which means they give nothing back because they don’t have to—much less want to. Therefore, they’re a burden to a sensitive market, and if things don’t change, they could suck the rest of us dry, which could cause the industry to collapse. Maybe they don’t care because they don’t skate, so the rest of us have to call BS and support brands and shops that are supporting skateboarding through and through". Asterisks are mine and the source is http://www.twsbiz.com/twbiz/features/article/0,21214,1589564... I can quote numerous examples to fully support my answer and it might be prudent to remember that this is US slang.

and yet again: "...theskateboardingindustry.com bring us a Special Report on Blank Boards and Their Effect on Skateboarding. Check out this article which brings you several interviews with skateboard company owners and pro skateborders as to Why you should not buy and support companies that make **blank boards**. >>>"Non-branded, generic skate products must be seen for what they are-bland, unwarranted commodities that support faceless factories that do nothing to support skateboarding"- IASC <<, from http://www.flatlineskateboards.com/flatlinev4/ Please note both the context and the definition of 'faceless' provided by the IASC (the International Association of Skateboard Companies). "Faceless" means a non-branded, unsupportive board and / or rider. Someone who does not do everything that they possibly can to support and promote the sport (by riding a cheesy board and having no sponsors, for example).
