Title: skate mental easter egg (motta)
Post by: easter bunny on August 23, 2011, 01:18:22 AM
hello slap im here to post probably the only thing i will ever post but i figured slap would be the best place for it since i have been a prior lurker here, a while back i found an easter egg hidden on the skate mental website, i was on mottas team page and noticed a bolder font on one of his answers i clicked on it and it brought me to a file hosting webpage ( http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/4369/awesomech.jpg (http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/4369/awesomech.jpg) ) i downloaded the file and it was exactly what the file name said, it was all of mottas raw unedited footage, also in the folder with the footage was a letter written and signed by johns mom, basically saying john didnt like his footage and wanted it hid on the site cuz while filming it the year before he had a bad biploar 2 episode causing him to be in and out of the hospital on meds for half the year and that the doctor told him not to do anything physical, so he just wanted to hide the footage on the skate mental site and if someone found it that they could leak it or edit it, and i was that person so heres what i did with it...let the leaking begin!!!

wow . . . I guess this explains why his Skate Mental part never came out when it was supposed to? All that shit was rad, and I'm a sucker for "Steal My Sunshine"

im not sure if this is for the world to see or just the person that found the footage but heres the letter from his mom that was in the folder of footage i downloaded, pretty funny/wierd, im guessing this was his pro part footage? and didnt he talk about escaping from a mental hospital in an interview somewhere? ( http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/9133/letterfrommom001.jpg (http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/9133/letterfrommom001.jpg) ) once i find time to gather up all the footage and compress the folder and upload it to a hosting site of my own ill post the link, cuz the one they had hosted expired a while ago i just happened to catch that screen grab. later.

awesome skating and edit!

that letter is definitely weird though, I don't get why his Mum is telling everyone this stuff in such detail, and the tone is like it was written by a brother, not a mum. Not complaining though - makes this footage even radder knowing its context
Title: Re: skate mental easter egg (motta)
Post by: negative man on August 23, 2011, 02:58:29 PM
that was so sick. I always thought it was weird, in that len music video, that guy and girl are brother and sister ???

and does anyone else think john motta looks exactly like the guy from boondock saints?

so he's sick, goes crazy, then (sort of) hides his footage on the internet, and has his mom write a letter about it. i'm calling fake!
