Chris Nieratko Follows Up On OIAM..Good Read

[mandibleclaw]

Man... that Jon Finucans kid should have won.

I want to see the other parts first, but that was sick. Mandible should release them all, then have a poll on the forum, and we can give them our own bootleg ass one in a million title.

that's a good idea.

We could call it "Fun in a Million!"

[sluggers]

were the kids informed of the format change when they got to NYC or was it sprung on them as the week progressed?

They had no idea of the clusterfuck that OIAM was about to become in the hands of Rodney, Steve, and Lurker Lou...

fuck steve rodriguez hes a bro, i hope his family starves to death!

for some reason this is so hilarious.

[Josh McLaughlin]

the "fun in a million" idea is rad. did everyone end up having a significant amount of footage? it would suck for dudes that ended up getting the boot early on as they would not of had enough time to get clips as the others.

wasnt there a dude who won all the challenges ? , why didnt he get something out of it ?  all the judges were bitching about bad attitudes among the skaters but somebody was smashing the contests

trallalalalalalalhahahahaha

Jesus christ what a clusterfuck. How can anyone take this seriously? It's fucking skateboarding. It's just kids with wooden toys. How could you make them feel so lame that they had to quit half way? Props to those kids for bailing.
This east vs west shit needs to die. All this seriousness needs to die. When money and skateboarding come together people get straight retarded.

You are right!

no, in fact lurker lou subtly condescended the kid for doing that. very sadistic, friends

[_UniversalTruth_]

Except the skateboarding itself, I didn't enjoy anything in these videos.

Steve Rodriguez just shit the bed. Now Lurker Lou, Jamie Thomas and even poor Cardiel have to sleep with Steve's aroma.

I used to support 5boro, but not anymore, unless I get a written apology by steve rodriguez

So they pulled the plug on project OIAM NYC. Glad they did because it was horribly botched, something that MTV couldn't even get into. Steve Rodriguez almost had a point by saying that in the industry you would excel by doing things you don't want to do. But the examples they used in the show were fucking stupid without a doubt, they should have had the kids sit on a 15 hour plane ride, and it mcdonald's for a week straight, not a high ollie contest, that's just contrived. Alex Klein your a piss poor business man, your skating is much more lucrative. I would have been juiced to watch 12 episodes of them shredding a red curb and been content, whoever had the most fun wins

[botefdunn]

The point of OIAM in years past: to shine a spotlight on quality skating and reward some underdogs.

The point of OIAM this year: to whore skateboarding out to whack corporate interests?

congratulations to the contestants for standing up for skateboarding or whatever it was they thought they were doing.

Constantly referring to a talented crew of skaters (some of whom have beards) as "the kids" seemed pretty disrespectful, along with everything else that's been mentioned.

So fuck your none in a million, nobody needs another Life of Ryan.

alex klein should stick to surfing documentaries.  what a debacle.
