Bummed not to see the 8.25 Full SE in the Summer catalogue. Really wish DLX would release that shape occasionally so I could stock up. Hands down one of my favorite 8.25 shapes ever.

Also bummed to see so few 8.25 Full Se lately. I guess one with a III or IV stamp with Indys would be similar to the new Easy Rider shape with Ventures Wheelbase-wise. Anyway, best 8.25 full shape out there…

@Robert Baratheon I get what you're saying dude but I think that A) the potential that post could cause harm is alone her decision to weigh and make and B) it's actually incredibly important that it's made known that one of the most famous, most celebrated, and most talented skaters to ever live is a violent abuser, especially considering there are multiple generations that still look up to him. This isn't "having your shit out there," this is at best a community alert and at worst a callout post regarding unacceptable behavior

a. Where did I say that she had no right to do that?? b. Per her words, the post was to reclaim her name. She could have named him if she wanted to warn the community about him.

All fine, I just wouldn't have done it this way. Don't get it twisted, I give a fuck about Chris. Her children may not want this out there, matter how cathartic it may seem now. That is my point.

She didn't have to name him... anyone who is familiar with her is certainly familiar with Chris... and I don't think you can say how you would've handled this situation if it never happened to you.

I think bringing her children in as an excuse to keep quiet about this is pretty fucking low, too

Unreal. No one is telling her to shut up. You are missing the point.

I watched the GH video on this. Thought he blew things out of proportion about the Slap posts and the fried takes. I guess I can't argue with that now.

Vans is a brand for people who have just given up on themselves and want something that is always acceptable and doesn't require any thought. A Vans store is a 1 stop shop for an entire wardrobe for people to want to feel young and lack any actual preferences or identity.

I can't say I'm a huge fan of this rough cut. I hope there are some improvements in the final version.

He makes some small and some serious missteps when critiquing her post. I think the biggest misstep, which he seemed to catch right after he said it, was when he joked about James burning her degree or him smashing her in the head to take away her education. Using the slightest bit of imagination, I'd imagine her line about having her education taken away is alluding to James telling her that her knowledge is wrong all the time and everything she has learned/knows is wrong. I think this is a common thing in toxic and abusive relationships.

Following his great joke about James smashing an abused woman in the head to make her forget everything, I loved how GH got all worked up over many of our comments. I especially, enjoyed his reaction to my joke about Mikey Taylor's podcast on abuse being good for entrepreneurship. His interpretation is so far off the mark. 1) It was a joke that employed exaggeration for comedic effect. 2) I firmly stand by my joke that exaggerates Mikey Taylor's persona as a self-absorbed culturally backward wanna-be grifter/influencer who hangs out with extremist kooks like Rob McCoy (the man who mentored Charlie Kirk). 3) Mikey's wife and Mikey's reaction to this story isn't an in the moment thing. Unlike Brunk and Lee, they aren't on camera like a deer in headlights hearing it for the first time. Mikey has had lots of time to digest the story and his kooky ass has told the story many times and proclaimed it to be one his favorite stories.

Finally, in his tirade against some of our comments and my joke where he exclaims, "This was 9 years ago, this makes me mad, he wouldn't say that now, blah blah blah," GH this is a horrible take. Your takes sounds more like Archie Bunker complaining about being cancelled than actually responding to the comments/jokes. Do you have evidence Mikey has grown up on any social issue? Or are you just going to go full Archie Bunker on this one?
