However, if it all of a sudden becomes cool to back Jaime than I'm 100% behind him.
jamie is a normal person like the rest of us. he eats, he sleeps, he breathes, and he skates, i can understand giving him a little shit here and there(when it is called for) but it seems like people are just hating on him just for the sake of hating him
you guys are taking me on an emotional rollercoaster.
i also forgot to mention that his welcome to hell part is in my top fifteen all time favorite parts listyour such a faggot
oh nice insult, your just a mark. if there was a yawn emoticon i would put that here, but there isn't. the thought is still there though. all your posts are about someone either being a fag, someone having a lisp, and a bunch of other jargonyour such a faggotExpand Quotei also forgot to mention that his welcome to hell part is in my top fifteen all time favorite parts list[close]

Yeah, I was 19 and got played by this girl who was also playing someone that mattered. When it all came out, there were quite a few people in the getting played boat.
I rode for Toy when it went down, they never got banned, but I didn't have a photo in Thrasher for like 5 or 6 years.
this thread may have worked before jamie showed up but.......the first post is just stupid......anybody whos been on here alot in the last few months knows that the ratio of jamie dickriders has been steadily growing in his favor....
its like in world war two when germany was in that great depression so hitlertricked them into backing him by promising to get back aryan pride and economic status and all
the slap boards were all fucked up and boring a
and 'filled with haters' but now jamie is comming on and recruiting a blackbox army.......
we'll only realize how wrong we were when its too late!!
^^^that was a terrible post huh?
don't prostitute your spiritual beliefs- keep it to yourself.....its like praying or meditating in public....theres even somewhere in the Bible where it says its a sin to flaunt your spirituality/relationship with God.....it should be private and thus kept sacred---- thats no better than Jim Greco bragging about doing drugs, actually its worse-- being a role model and good example to kids is one thing, but don't base ad campaigns on it!!! There are just too many idiot Christians in the world.......the black box banner on here kinda makes this message board the gayest thing ever......oh yeah, the rep feature on the profiles contributes as well
psshhh you guys are warming up to jamie now but just imagine how you will feel once you are marching side by side with your commrades to every skate store to strike fear of buying blanks into their hearts
maybe the blackbox army will make all shops that sell blanks have to wear a certain symbol on their door?
i dunno, I don't know enough about hitler to mmake the joke work properly...
whatever
Jamie....did you ever wonder if the big fiasco about blank boards/kids not buying pro decks might be due to the fact that so many companies now have so many pros, so the money is just widely spread out as opposed to 5 years ago when there were only 15-20 pros selling the majority of boards? I've always figured that was the issue because I see the same amount of blank and shop decks as I did 5 years ago....or are you really not paying attention to the subject? Just thought I'd ask you since you were a part of that IASC ad with all the pros.
...I'll go with; Im not really paying attention to the subject.

Are you all trying to become professional bullriders, riding his dick so hard? Seriously, the first couple of pages in that thread were all hate because he cancelled a premiere, and then as soon as he posted a bullshit excuse it was all better. "It wasn't my call." How the fuck was it not your call, Jamie Thomas? Were you that scared of Drake Jones cracking the whip? Were you worried he was going to fire you if you popped that DVD in?
It doesn't even matter that the premeire was cancelled. It happens all the time. But if you were originally pissed about it, "it wasn't my call" is not a good answer from a company owner. In fact, that is probably the most ridiculous answer he could've possibly given. How could anyone possibly accept that as an answer if they were originally that pissed off? And he's not some kind of saint for giving one kid a ride. I bought a kid a soda the other day, but the "DRNEWTON APPRECIATION" thread has yet to be posted, and my rep is at -16.
What I am trying to figure out is why there are close to 200 pages of SLAP playing good cop/bad cop with Jamie Thomas. "You cancelled that premire!111" "Dude, your seriously so sick. Wanna hang out when you come to my bullshit city?" "WHY DO YOU HATE BLANKS?!" Atleast four other past/present pros post here, and even the greatest magazine writer of all time occasionally spams this forum, but I can't recall any SLAP posters posting pictures with these grown ass men, any 100 page threads, or anyone riding these guys' dicks for five months after they defended themselves. You are not Jamie Thomas' friend because you post on this forum, and if you want to be an insider so bad, go become a sales representative for 20k a year or something.

Newton, you're losing it.
This thread has nothing to do with the premier and just so you know it's possible for things to not be my call.
I can't make every decision about everything. To refresh your memory, here's what I said in the other thread;
"I heard they didn't have a screen to premier it on, so I suggested that they just play it on the tv's while we sign.
We signed for ages and eventually I asked why the video wasn't playing and Drake said that they decided to wait for tomorrow to premier it. No one in line had asked about it, so I just said whatever. I figured if anyone really wanted to see it, they'd go to the demo the next day which is about 20 minutes away from where the signing was."
You can have differences in opinions and still hang out with someone, no one I've met in person from here has said, dude your so rad. We have conversations about our differences in opinions or whatever and it's cool, cause that's what people do when you're talking face to face.
But, I'm sure you'd be above going to a demo or a video premier in Winston Salem, since there's so much else going on.
But, I'm sure you'd be above going to a demo or a video premier in Winston Salem, since there's so much else going on.
Who's dick riding?
Some of us are capable of not agreeing with someone, but still having respect for them. Going to a premiere is dick riding? Taking a photo is dick riding? You think any of us that were there are trying to get an "in?" That just doesn't make sense to me. Jamie's well aware of my thoughts on more topics than he's interested in knowing, and in lots of cases, those thoughts run contradictory to his own. I can separate issues I disagree with from the person I disagree with.
Keep in mind, when I did the CEOs site, I pointed directly at Jamie and voiced disagreement with his business, and have been on the record as being in disagreement with certain aspects of his company, as well as theology in general. I don't ride Black Box gear, but that's not because I hate Jamie, and he knows that. We're adults, for fuck's sake. I don't have any reason to step up and spit in his face, nor does he have any reason to do that to me. Call it dick riding all you want, but as much as I disagree with Jamie, I still respect him. If you hate Jamie on a personal level, that's your thing, but if what we did last night was dick riding, then I guess I'm just a squirrel looking for a fucking nut.

come on Jamie, it is kind of goth-gay. bunch of dudes in semi-tight to skin tight black and dark colored clothes going around the country in vans doing "demos" for kids.
but then skating in general can look kind of gay i guess. maybe we're all closet homos and we don't even know about it? i mean we call each other fags in arguments and don't only gay dudes call each other fags with the same regularity?

No need to get heated, everyone has off days
...and no one said California was rad, point was; you're too cool to go see a demo or video premier. (especially, if it's us faggots)
jamies been owned.
how do you know thats the reason? maybe the video sucked and he was embarrassed of what he had done to everyone.
Thats fucked.
They shouldnt release it at all because people will put it on mIRC.
damn. What a fucked thing to do.
And you're right...the LEAST he could've done was ask for the audiences cooperation with the whole bootlegging and posting it up on Youtube thing. I cant believe he actually cancelled the whole thing.
looks like skateboarding has some new divas.
the video premier thing is pretty regular, it seems like they could have gone about that differently...but my vote for lame move of the week definitley goes to the hiding of shop/blank boards during the signing...thats just outright regular...
And my point was that your too cool to play the video at these "premeires."
You blamed the shop, you blamed your employees, and you even blamed the kids for not telling you they wanted to see the video that was promised on the flyer, but when it came right down to it you could've made the video play. And you didn't. So where are those kids from pages 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. of the "Jamie Thomas is a fuckin' faggot" thread? You were still ultimately responsible for the video not premeireing, and havn't said anything clearing yourself of that responsibility, but because you made some excuses those posters are now gone.
Your damned right I don't pay for that shit. $10 to watch someone else skate? $20 to watch there footage? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I didn't blame anyone, I just stated what happened.
They didn't have any equipment and no one seemed to care about the video at the signing, so it didn't get played, it's that simple.
All of your example posts were before I explained how it went down.
After, people logically understood and for the dude that was most pissed, I went out of my way to make it right.
Not to be seen as a saint, but because I could and thought it was the right thing to do.
Who asked you to pay for anything, we don't charge for our demos or premiers?
Keep up the research though, you're killing it.
So all these dudes at the shop found out Jamie gave me a ride. They said that's cool, and asked why.
So I told em about the whole premire cancellation, and one of the dudes got really pissed.
"We weren't set up for the premire? We have a big screen t.v. in the corner, and 12 overhead monitors so everyone can see from anywhere in the shop"
He then said
"Everyone was asking why the video wasn't showing, so I went up to Jamie, asked him and he said the whole youtube thing, so I just said forget it and walked away"
This guy was livid, and I've known him for about 5 years...

I met what I thought was sarcasm with sarcasm.
You knew the things you mentioned as "above", so I thought it would be impossible for you to think I wasn't paying attention.
To answer your original question, I've considered all reasons for the sales of blanks to be increasing, but I think there were more pros 5 or so years ago, so I'm not sure that has a lot to do with it. I think it's mostly due to the accessability of blanks. It's also part of the evolution of the industry and even though I was in that photoshoot and the IASC book, I'm not actively involved in what they're doing.
All of that said, I don't really care about it much anymore, I'm just trying to focus on what we're doing.

I'm not talking in circles and I don't really care what "you" want.
I wrote the facts that I felt were relevant to your claims/questions.
It sounds like there was a miscommunication between our TM's and the shop. I was not involved in the planning of the event in the beginning or when we arrived and I didn't know what was going on until late in the situation. That's my fault, but I assumed things were under control. My assumptions about the reason why the video wasn't shown seems to have pissed the dudes at the shop off, so I plan to call the shop and figure out what they were told and by who. Then we can determine what went wrong where, that way it doesn't happen again.
But to you, Judge Wapner, I owe nothing.
2. Why should the people who were originally pissed not still be pissed?[/b] Keep in mind, it was still your ultimately your fault the video did not play originally, and that's why they were pissed.
Or this: what was that footage you had removed from the Baker video of? I heard you threatend to sue....
Be sure to keep us posted on this. I figured you would choose one of the other six reasons you've already posted, but you completely threw me for a loop by adding a seventh.
How about this: You claim not to care about blank boards, and that you just had the shops put them in the back that day so it would be all about the Zero boards. Well why didn't you force them to put all of the non-Zero boards in the back, including graphics?

It was clear that the reason they were pissed is that the video was cancelled because "somebody might film it and put it on youtube"....Once it was cleared up that it was not because of that, then the guys werent pissed because for other more understandable reasons, shit like this happens with premieres all the time. This question you keep asking has been cleared up already 5 times.

No it hasn't you fucking person. The story I'm getting is that Drake Jones cancelled it because kids would put it on YouTube, but the kids didn't care. According to the skateshop guys it was YouTube. I don't recall him ever saying it wasn't YouTube. He just said that Drake Jones said it, along with six other different things.
Truth is, I care less and less about blank boards everyday. If we're doing rad crap and making rad crap, our stuff will sell. If we're not, it won't.
We did ask shops to take down blanks and shop boards for the day on this tour for the first time. No one complained except for heads on here.
But, I wouldn't do it again, not because of you, but because I don't think it's neccessary. As long as we supply the shops with tour boards and they can sell for the same price as the blank/shop boards, I think kids will buy those if they want them signed regardless if there's shop boards right there. Live and learn.

Dang, man you're really digging.
The footage in Baker Bootleg was my sponsor me video, that's not any great discovery. I asked Per from Blitz to take it out because at the time I wasn't on good terms with anyone on Baker except Ellington, so there was no reason for me to be in there vid, especially, my sponsor-me vid. It was just in there to stir crap up. I told Per it wasn't cool or legal and he had J. take it out. I think he told J. I threatened to sue, so J. would take it serious, but it didn't get that far.

hey jamie. when do u think you will retire as a pro skater?...seeing as most street skaters retire in their early to mid 30's as pro
I appreesh the chief, it's a shame you couldnt make it down to mass this weekend ;)
Haha. well.. we were talking about how you picked up diego.. so we kind of wanted ot let you know that we thought it was rad and it wasnt over looked. We just really couldnt relay it in prank form all that well.
Has anyone actually called the skateshop or Black Box to verify this fools story? Probably not. What shop was it at? Tell us the name so we can google it, get the # and call them. If you don't supply it , i'm calling BULLSHIT!

So all these dudes at the shop found out Jamie gave me a ride. They said that's cool, and asked why.
So I told em about the whole premire cancellation, and one of the dudes got really pissed.
"We weren't set up for the premire? We have a big screen t.v. in the corner, and 12 overhead monitors so everyone can see from anywhere in the shop"
He then said
"Everyone was asking why the video wasn't showing, so I went up to Jamie, asked him and he said the whole youtube thing, so I just said forget it and walked away"
This guy was livid, and I've known him for about 5 years...

I'm not sure who Diego talked to that was livid, cause I talked to the dude who was running the show during our signing (also the dude Drake talked to) and he was real mellow and apologetic for all the drama.
He said that he and Drake discussed how the video could be premiered with most of the people outside and if it would be possible to monitor kids filming the video since it would be playing on several tv's in different locations throughout the store. He told me they agreed there wasn't a good way to host a formal premier, so they thought it would be best if we just waited and showed the video the next day at the demo.
He said he didn't hear any complaints until the past few days with the message board drama.
I think Diego has other friends that work at the store or friends that were pissed about the situation and maybe they posted the story as their own.
If anyone has any other sides of the story they heard from so and so, post them along with the sources and we'll get to the bottom of it.
Hey Jamie, ever going to tour Europe?
Hey is the Mystery video dropping soon? And speaking of old sponsor me tapes, are you going to have any of those guys old sponsor me tapes as bonus features? I heard Jimmy had a sick one from the guys at Street Machine.

i ran in the shop that day to buy a belt, and the shop in question had about 20 employees on hand there that day, so im sure there was some kind of miscommunication. i think that while about 80% of the kids that showed for the signing made it to the demo the following day, there are the remaining 20% that do live out in diego's neck of the woods and progressive skatepark is quite a drive that may be out of the question. so i can sympathize with diego's frustration. i wouldnt necessarily jump on a message board and declare jamie a homosexual, but thats just how kids roll these days. haha im glad things panned out the way they did, and for anyone that missed the video at the shop and the park, be patient. its REALLY sick and worth buying. mad props to the zero/mystery dudes for a good demo and video

Whoa whoa whoa... So this shop has 20 employees? What is this? Pac Sun 49?
*points finger the other way*
Diego, are you being called out for bro'ing down at a wakeboarding store?
Well, it answers a lot of questions over a video premiere being cancelled at Wakeboard-Mart.
Any "skate shop" that has over 20 employees working at once has every reason to have the finger pointed back at them.
I'm pointing the finger because of the stinkfest Diego caused about going into the shop "after" the whole thing had happened. He cried wolf over everything and anything.
I'm proving the fact that if you're calling someone a "fucking fagot", people may want to look at both sides.
Nobody had any clue it was a big store when "three dudes were complaining about him".
And Degayho, I do skate. I just have a full time job and a drinking habit; two things you don't seem to have. So I more positive things with free time, like making fun of people online.
