nieratko article on it. with quotes from those involved


Steve Rodriguez, Judge/Owner of 5Boro SKateboards
-- "If you look at the people that wanted to ride for 5Boro and be something and do something and those that were very successful (like a Westgate, Dompierre, Suski, Peterson), they all had the same thing in common: no matter what they had to do, they did it. Whether they had to clean out a van or do the worst demo on the worst course in the middle of nowhere for five kids, they did it. Kids have to realize they have to work for stuff. And these kids signed up for this. It wasn't like they were forced to do One In A Million.

and i thought Steve Rodriguez just looked retarded, but i guess he actually is retarded

[NickDagger]

Is it this Alex Klein?

Alex Klein Crail Couch

[pootysnacks]

yes that alex klein. he gave me a board once for my birthday cuz he was high school friends with my cousin which was really cool of him. but this show is definitely wack as fuck and evertyhing those fools were saying in the last episode was so gay. especially steve "twat" rodriguez. maybe if they didnt have such gay ass challenges the kids wouldnt be so bummed on this shit i swear it couldnt have just been the camera thing..

[sweatercuff]

PS none in a million coming this week

YES!

[cringe.]

PS none in a million coming this week

Thats the spirit! we can take this thing back guys! The protests from Occupy might have died down, but lets win this one for the 40%!

[bandini]

Just when I thought Lurker Lou couldn't get any worse:

"A lot of people that know me know the way I acted on this show was nothing. "

Oh sure, dude. You danced like a fuck puppet for the corporate devil but now you're going to whine about how it was all Alex's fault & that you really weren't down with it?

Amazing what tiny balls these fucktards have dangling next to their vaginas.

[JD]

That was hard to watch.

Redistribution of stoke! End corporate crab grab! End corporate crab grab! End corporate crab grab!

[essal]

This year was worse than explosive diarrhea..

Crab in a million, be good please.

[Cadillac Ranch Dressing]

Simply amazing. After constantly reading "it gets worse" week after week, I stupidly kept thinking in the back of my mind, "nahhh, I'm sure it'll be fine". Well, I was wrong. The skaters really deserve an apology. A whole fuckin' redo would be nice. Give them an actual chance without the retarded challenges. It could be based solely on **GASP!** their skating. They won't do that though, probably because redos just aren't that marketable.



Alex Klein, you done fucked up.

[chitownchaz]

i think it was a step towards the direction of creating a skateboarding TV show for a mainstream audience. obviously pathetically done though.

it's like i can see what klein is trying to do but he's just fucking up so bad on something that's end product would be fucking pathetic anyway?

I have no problem stating that I will go out of my way not to support any companies that these people are involved with. Fuck Steve Rodriguez. Yeah, no one forced these kids to do OIAM, but as Dean said, they did OIAm assuming it was going to be similar to how it has been for the past 7 or 8 years (?). And to pretend like these kids were acting idiotic or spoiled is so arrogant and delusional I cannot even express it.

[Patey]

do any of the kids in this post on the boards?

they deserve a fucking apology. it would be nice if they knew how much real skaters are backing them, and that they definitely arent in the wrong.

fuck OIAM.

[Box of Frogs]

So skating is 40% and the rest is based on how a person is?

That means a huge majority of every sponsored skater lacks integrity because thats what these kids had and they got fucked because of it..

[raunchyrick]

Lurker Lou at the end:


we gonnnn' find you; we gon' find

so you can run and tell SLAP, run and tell SLAP

run and tell SLAP, homeboy, home-home-homboyyy

HAHAHA YES!!!!

[MaryhillVibe]

All I can think now is that based on the criteria they set out in the last episode, Grim would have won if he had made the cut.

[Spike Hawke]

What a massive pile of steaming shite that was. After the non stop gnarballs action of last years OIAM I was super hyped on this years but, like everyone else, I have had my eyes raped by Alex Klien et al. ALL the people, other than the kids, and this includes JT, should hang there head in shame at being involved in this shit. This was everything that is wrong with skateboarding right now. Embarrassing to be affiliated with this as a skater

[Dishonest John]

Alex Klein, bye bye.
Steve Rodriguez, your credibility just went down the drain.
Kids, you should be proud of yourselves.
Mandible, bring it on!

[L33Tg33k]

Holy shit, fucking Steve Rodriguez. I could barely get through all of his quotes in Nieratko's article without wanting to punch him. It's really sad because I used to have a lot respect for that dude.

[The Muffin Man]

The other 60% is, as we know, marketing.

[Grubby Mits]

For the last few years within just a few episodes I felt like I really knew everyone and their style of skating but I feel like I know next to nothing about these guys besides how they look in a fucking line up. Hopefully one of them will violently stab me in a dark alley one day so I haven't completely wasted my time.

Also steve rodriguez in that episode:



Fuck you

[Mr. Fink]

I felt like that took place in the principal's office.

[steve]

All in all, this is a throwaway year for OIAM, and we need Whiteley back making sure shit's done properly.

And.... last year everyone was talking shit on Whitely and his supposed efforts to turn OIAM into a reality show. Wonder if this structuring has something to do with why he left SLAP.

who would have thought that the one year they structure the whole thing completely differently it would be this flaming pile of dog shit, i feel bad for the kids though, theyre not the ones who created some corny ass shit

What are the odds that the year they changed up everything they just happened to find the 10 whiniest, entitled skaters out there?

I think it was definitely a bogus "show" and fuck, there was some serious negativity in that warehouse, but damn, maybe some of those kids are entitled. Who knows?

AND,

notice that there was no clip of Cards complaining about the kids? Cardiel is truth, man.

[pica]

so matt militano got eliminated the first day and didn't had to go through days and days of bullshit, wasting his time.
i guess you can call him a winner then.

[weregoingunion]

yea i saw him on crutches, was wondering what happened/why that was missing. super stoked for yer video though!!

as for the final episode... wow... wtf.

[Citizen on Patron]

I said this from the beginning and everyone gave me shit for it.. I saw this whack shit coming from a mile away when everyone was hyped on it.


Anyways skateboarding should be skateboarding not a fuckin T.V. style show with judges and shit. American Idol for skateboarding pffft
