[Bubblegum Tate]

So many mixed stories, i hope we find out the real news soon.

''FREE ANTWUAN'' T-shirst for sale.





Don't say that you don't see it comin'. All that Baker, Shake Junt and Deathwish bullshit is gonna make money from this. It's sad and ethically speaking questionable, but it's reality. I've seen that jail actually helped some people. I hope he's gonna come out clean. 


Stick to Dank, llello fucks you up.

From what I have heard, his sponsors have helped him get into rehab, i believe close to a year ago.  The problem was he got out and they threw him a party at Baker Boys offices/warehouse where there were kegs of beer, and no doubt enough drugs to OD on twice over.  You've got those dudes who "have been thru it" and figure, "oh he'll figure it out on his own, just like I did", but the difference with Antwuan is he's got so many more reasons not to give a fuck and either OD and die, or kill someone else in one of his drunken rages.  It's sad, he's very talented, but I think unfortunately for him he was sponsored by companies who thrive on the image he provides.  Dollin, Braydon, Greco, Reynolds, Heyl.....all dudes who have marketed their disease to kids who look up to them.  What would Baker be without the weed/beer/stoner graphics that are in heavy rotation over there?  I'm not hating on Baker or those dudes in any way, I love what their doing, and laugh along with the rest of the skateboarding community.  The only difference is I looked up to them and laughed and knew I didn't want to be like them, where most kids want to BE them....

it's easy to judge when you don't have all the facts.

worst case scenario
-nigga comes out crazier than ever, on top of that becomes an overly aggressive homosexual.

seriously? An overly aggressive homosexual? That's your worst case scenario?

Would you turn gay if someone raped you?
Would a raped chick suddenly be into super violent sex?

I doubt it!

I hope somehow this is gonna help him, should it be true.
From the outside it does look weird that his sponsors don't intervene.
But as was said before, you can't help someone that doesn't want help.

[Sleazy]

that lucky bastard

thug image gets a boost

got a great excuse not to have a part for the video and to delay filming for a good bit

sponsors wont drop him because of image boost and will instead make him and them a lot of money marketing "free twaun"

then after gettting out he'll have the popps effect and any footage he puts out will get lots of publicity as the anticipation builds for his next part

and all he has to do is a few months


how is this bad for him? seems like a win, win for everybody. is it bad because he'll be locked up for a few months and not free to get wasted in deserted bars in the middle of the day? i think all of the above out weigh that. if it's only bad because it's worst than him sobering up, well, that's not a very likely event yet. he's a long way from the bottom.

[cheese]

His bail is gonna get paid in ten minutes ALA berrics and he aint gonna learn a damn thing..

[politics as usual]

hope he doesn't get caught up in any gang related bull shit if he's actually going there, shit would be on if he had to bunk with a blood since he's always claiming crips.

best case scenario
-he gets sober'd up, then maybe he can work out and get rid of those tits, then he can get his thoughts together and understand that skating is all that he has (seriously, who will hire him in anything non skate related).

worst case scenario
-nigga comes out crazier than ever, on top of that becomes an overly aggressive homosexual.

You mean tats?

Have a feeling he doesn't.

hope he gets kicked off everything, butt raped, forgotten, stabbed, revived, stabbed again, and then thrown into a volcanoe in that order

You're a piece of shit. The guy has severe addiction/mental problems and nobody really did what was needed to help him. He is actually a really nice down to earth guy but the drugs and alcohol took over.

EL OH FUCKING EL at mr. carebear over here. fuck you, you autistic piece of shit. you run your fucking mouth
about everything and everyone, unless you can directly relate. you are one stupid motherfucker.

[jaesi25]

his sponsors marketed his behavior. they sold it too kids and used it as intros to video parts and basically defined him by his antics. he was also a willing participant. kids want fame he got it. there are other kids who will get the chances he did and wont blow it. hes one guy with a smooth style. i hated to see eric fletcher go, but your weed shouldnt be so good that it makes you NOT want to travel the world and skate..

Is this your way of telling me that you have been raped before?


I was just saying, you know how he is always trying to fight random people or just act crazy to get attention, what if he does the crazy shit even more, and instead of handing out fades, he is trying to hand out anal sex?  but of course I know that jail doesn't make you instantly gay, I'm not a  person.

[MyUserName]

I'm shocked the word "hijinks" still hasn't been used once in these three pages.

[strangefires]

I definitely agree that his sponsors should be paying for the best lawyer they can get. the epicly latered bullshit
was a total copout. they've been exploiting his behavior to make loot. fuck them.

[Dark Knight]

Everyone's responsible for their own actions, but every single one of the dudes supporting that kid's self destruction should give themselves a cock punch. From watching Later'd, I think it's shitty that all these dudes that have "been there, done that" didn't have the balls to intervene... or god forbid suspend him or find some other way to put him on time out until he got his shit together. He's still in his early 20's and about to do a year... he fucked up, but him being a fuckup was milked hard by the people he skates for.

I'm not sure if this is the dumbest thing written in here, or Kev claiming that we should all look up to Antwuan for doing whatever he wants (and ending up a drug addicted convict). You guys genuinely have no fucking clue what you are talking about.

Also, what is this bullshit with everybody claiming Antwuan has a "good heart?" That's some bullshit an abused girlfriend says about the man that gets wasted and kicks the shit out of her every night. I'm sorry, but if you do awful and sadistic shit like try to start fights with people you don't know, or according to this rumor, hitting girls, you DO NOT have a good heart. A good heart is a lot more than knowing what the right thing to do is, its actually doing it. Your ACTIONS are what counts, not how well you get along with your friends and sponsors.

...so has anyone OTHER than Mr. Ocelot confirmed this or whatever? 

you guys are getting really worked up over what one dude's sources said





and you'll probably all be shitting your pants when his next part comes out

Even if its not true now, get ready for it. I think the reason most people believe this is because Antwuan is clearly heading down that road if he's not there now. Also, COTG apparently heard he was getting 4 months, and another person said he is at trial. So really, it kind of is confirmed by other posters. You need to get out of your state of denial. Antwuan's situation is super fucked up. He's not just some dude who is having some wild parties.

[Galletly]

Can't work out if being covered in crazy tattoos is a good or a bad thing when you're going to jail.

[earlygrab]

I've always been of the mindset that his sponsors should have taken less of an enabler role but there's a few flaws in that reason.
1. Who's to say they aren't helping him the best they can?
2. Just because it's their company image, it's not their responsiblity to keep everyone (especially an adult) from abusing it.
  If someone sponsored by Coors becomes an alcoholic would anyone point the finger at Coors? Or someone sponsored by Harley Davidson beating his trailer wife to death then blaming Harley for promoting that lifestyle, how about the 3d artist that works on grand Theft Auto going on a murder spree then blaming his employers. Nope.

 If your can't play with fire without burning yourself, don't get a job as a fireman then blame everyone else cause there's too much fire.  

that too many metaphors for one post.

Theirs a very low percentage of people that go away for a short time and come out better for it. I don't see Antwuan in that percentage.

[strangefires]

his sponsors ARE MOST CERTAINLY enablers. to think otherwise is just pure naivety. If you wanna believe
the bullshit image-saving shit reynolds sputtered out in epicly latered go right ahead. Those same cats put out
ads completely endorsing his lifestyle. If you're doing that, and he's banking off of it, why the fuck would he
want to follow through with the half-hearted 'rehab' suggestions that supposedly occured. It's just utter hypocracy.

No one gives a fuck about anyone but themselves in this industry for the most part. It becomes more evident every single day.
