Doesn't shock me that he would be alright with jacking someone elses idea. Him being a sneaky self centered ass is why he was essentially eradicated from the industry, and why he has had to resort YouTube and sponsors like Revive. Sadly, its worked out awfully well for him, but what goes around comes around I guess. Like 99% of Youtubers, his audience will get bored of his content eventually and he will go away.
Please elaborate. I’m genuinely curious.
From what I’ve heard, the guy would go on trips and couldnt get along with anyone. With Birdhosue he went on 1-2 trips and he was apparently always concerned with only what he wanted to do, and if they went to a spot or something he didn’t like, he would throw a little fit and take off somewhere else. He even confirmed this story and admits fault, so ill give him props for that.
Then, there’s another story where his board sponsor after Birdhouse did something he didn’t like, so the whole time he was filming for their video he was shitting on the company behind their back and didn’t use their boards in the footage purposely to make a “statement” or some petty shit like that. He has also admitted to this story.
These are the two examples I’m near certain actually happened (because he even admitted to them) but apparently there’s more of these antics.
So that’s apparently why he had no sponsors for awhile, because word got around he’s difficult to deal with, and no one wanted to deal with his bullshit, hence him being “eradicated.” That’s when he started YouTube and we know the rest.
Idk, I’m just saying he seems like he has 100% tunnel vision on himself and doesn’t see how his actions affect other people, therefore, I am not shocked that he would steal someone elses idea like this and be okay with doing it, because he fails to see how that’s morally not cool, and only sees how it benefits his brand.
