Jayme, you're just a bitter, washed up pro that could only get a shady ass company like true love to sponsor him. Slap boards is your only real connection to ever feeling like you have done something worth a shit, but in the last 4 years with skateboarding... you really have'nt.
I dug you back in the Santa Cruz days, but now you're just a fuckin kook.
The Cheif, JT, and I had our difference a while back, but I respect him more than ever for it.
JT does shit right
JF does not.
Nah man, anything that Jamie and Jayme talk about is shit that they know about, not us. They've peaced out on it, but Jayme is good people... really good people. I sincerely know this to be true. Also, I'm the one who helped connect Jayme with True Love... shit, I even pitched it to him, neither of us knowing anything about True Love except for the fact that it seemed like the perfect small company (at least, that was my angle, and I'm well documented here as being one of TLC's biggest supporters, contributing whatever I could to the company for free because I believed in it before me and the shop severed ties with it). If there's fault there, then it's mine. I saw what I thought was the type of company I would have started if given the chance, and I saw an opportunity to make a connection between said company and a skater that I've always had (and always will) have immense respect for, both as a fellow skater and as a person.
Jayme can speak for himself, but holmes has a lot of stuff on his plate that he's handling up on... but he's still ripping. Can't blame him for not being the Chief. Those two dudes have history, and it's pretty obvious that if Jayme misspeaks or sends out the wrong info, he'll be the first to correct himself, which is possibly the hardest thing for anyone to do in a public venue.
I respect Jamie as well... if there's anyone on this forum that has a reason to think I'm a prick, it would be Jamie (and maybe Jackson) since I leveled some pretty harsh shit at him with the CEO's site, and I was the first to talk shit on him after the thread-erasing incident before he really started posting here. But during that time, my perception has changed nearly 100% (as long as we stay away from theology, hehe).
We're lucky to have Jamie and Jayme here.
And last thing, there are plenty of things to be judgmental about concerning TLC, I won't rehash anything or get into demonizing anyone, but I will give props to James Joiner for sending over the gear he sent on behalf of Big Mike. It was a good gesture... it doesn't discount anything negative that anyone here has dealt with, but he was the first to ship product for us to raise money for Mike's family. I don't support the company, but I'll call out a proper move when I see it. The same thing goes to Jamie, who sent a ton of product (autographed by himself and some of his other guys) for the same benefit. Can't do anything but respect that.
I'm not trying to change your mind, but I'm not down with dismissing Jayme as a "washed up" pro, just as I wouldn't do that to Sanch or anyone else that's contributed to the history of skating, as well as my own entertainment of just watching them ride.
I'm not calling you out, I'm just saying that there's plenty of other folks to hate that would be way more deserving.
Regardless, you know me personally, and I think it's safe to say I'm probably one of the biggest kooks you'll ever know.
