damn, should’ve screenshotted. shout out to admins for deleting that so quickly, assuming it was one of y’all
Is this directed towards my post? If so, sorry still new to posting here and wasn't aware sharing this broke any rules, if not, it seems like one of the imgur links got taken down, does anyone know a better alternative that wont remove these kind of allegations?

Who the fuck are these guys? Am I just out of the loop or are they actually a big part of the SF scene?
yea Im out the loop too...
took a peek at that video and saw tafari whittier *sp? who I seen skates with the max allure crew
The video I linked was an old create video when a lot of the maxallure crew used to ride for create, as well as Nico Hiraga who is now on IC. If I'm remembering correctly a lot of the maxallure riders had a falling out with the brand (for what reason I don't entirely know, maybe someone more informed can shed some light on this, but it seems like they distanced themselves relatively quickly.)
The awaysted crew/ Western World dudes remain one of the bigger crews in the scene currently. They used to have a loose connection to GX, mainly through Pablo (RIP).
Lol...SF skate scene has always been on some “cool guy” BS, I’ve watched hella heads get 0 attention as local rippers but they lack the “edgeyness” support MaxAllure skateboards, Tafari and Karl are the best dudes out..
Not totally shocked. Honestly a lot of the coolguy SF/NYC companies and their riders give off suspicious vibes. Wouldn’t be surprised if inflated egos contribute to some piss poor behavior of many varieties.
Can't speak on the NYC scene but the odd thing about this, and many other cases I've heard like it is that it isn't pulled off by the people you'd usually think to carry the whole "cool guy" attitude. While well known, many of these riders tout the accepting friendly skater act, often putting young kids on, giving them product etc. I think a lot of times this works as a kind of shield of defense "Oh, so and so couldn't have done that, look what he does for the local kids, he's so nice" etc. I vaguely remember a story last year, where a dude working at a local kids skate organization was accused of knowingly giving girls stds, and was allegedly using this same tactic.
