I saw Neen at a fish market in Echo Park yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen fresh salmon in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir you need to pay for those fish first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the fish and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each fish and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Nick Trapasso blew it prettttty bad at Crossroad tradeshow, blackout drunk on a bus yelling at shop owners and industry folks. Ended with Nick and Sinner both getting their heads smacked into a pole by a certain OG from Seattle.

There was a meme page called “foodskaters” that would make photoshops like Clyde pringleton and Dill pickle and roast peoples bad cooking or give props on decent plates of food skaters would post. Neen was cooking salmon skin side up in a pan and food skaters made a harmless jab at his method and neen responded hostile and told him to kill himself and the dm got spread all over. Weck got in on it and a lot of people were roasting neen.  Sometime down the line neen made a redemption video of him cooking salmon skin side down

I actually cooked salmon recently and did skin up for the first minute or 2 and then flipped it to skin down for the rest of the time. It came out great. Not defending Neen though. Don’t care for him much. Plus to me Lindsey Robertson has the best heelflips ever but people always say Neen and it bugs me. They’re too over exaggerated and he puts extra “Steez” on them. No thanks.

MikeMo's carreer ender was probably more stupid than hilarious. At least in the outcome.

Definitely hilarious -if the rumours are true- was the reason for the end of Peter Fucking Hewitt's first stint on Nike. Legendary.

James Brockman shitting on that pyramid mid-demo.

Yeah like literally everything else, you also cook salmon on both sides lol

Didn't Andy Roy get caught stealing boards from Anti Hero?

Not really. He was ultimately kicked off after TNT filed a libel lawsuit for instagram and slap posts. More ironic than hilarious.

[Shtonk]

Can somebody please elaborate on:

- a certain OG from Seattle who smacked Nick Trapassos drunk head into a pole?

- J Strickland getting Tim von Werner kicked off Birdhouse because he came out as gay

- what Peter Hewitt did to get kicked off Nike?

- furby yezzur + baby mama drama??

- Justin Roy cucking Markovich

You can find all of those answers on Slap posts. I think the Furbzcielago, LLC/baby momma/girlfriend/landlord fiasco is more tragic than anything. It's the American experience in a nutshell. For better or worse, kids these days know that the American dream was a fleeting fantasy of the bourgeoisie.

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

Strickland? More like Klein no?

The Justin Roy story is true, confronted by Kris too.

Pewter Hewitt put gladwrap over his face and had someone shit on him/ and or put shit on his face. I thought Nike booted him for weed related matters though…

tony hawk all but confirmed it was j (or at the very least, not klein) years ago

Jesus. Well, another source of recent controversy has been Tim Von Werne’s dismissal from Birdhouse, possibly because of his sexuality? Care to comment?

Let me try to explain this.

This is back when I was doing guest editor issues of Skateboarder Magazine. I knew that Tim was gay and figured that it could be an amazing article to have him come out to the industry in the magazine. This is right around when we were gearing up to start doing The End.

We’d talked to Tim about doing the piece and while he was a little hesitant, he was down. So we do the article where he essentially comes out and we’re in the process of putting it in a future issue of the magazine… I just don’t think I realized the gravity of the article in terms of someone’s life experience and being gay.

I don’t want to throw anybody under the bus here but our team manager at the time, you might be able to figure out who that was, found out about the article and freaked out. He calls me up and says, “What the fuck are you doing!?!”

“I’m doing an interesting article about a skater who happens to be gay.”

“If you do that, I’m going to quit and take the whole team with me.”

Basically, he began threatening to steal my team because of this article. In hindsight, I don’t think that it would’ve actually happened, but at the time, it was a pretty heavy threat for me as a company owner. I had put so much of my resources into the team and we had all these plans around this big video we were about to start working on… I had to make the executive decision to kill the article.

You can call that selfish if you want but it felt like a very real threat to me at the time. And while it was an interesting article, I didn’t realize the weight of the situation. While I obviously support the cause, I wasn’t sure if I was the right person to be championing gay rights in skating… if that makes sense. I underestimated how it would resonate within the industry or how it would affect Tim. He’s the one who I really feel the worst for in all of this.

But I did call Tim and tell him straight-up what was happening. He wasn’t surprised by any of it.

“Yeah, that’s what I thought was going to happen. I was trying to warn you about all of this when the article was first brought up.”

He was super cool about it. I guess I just didn’t listen in the beginning. But after all that, he obviously didn’t want to be on the same team with someone who possibly felt so homophobic about the whole thing… which is another bummer, because I feel like other riders get some of the blame in this when it really was the actions of this one person.

It’s so easy to forget how cool Tony is behind all the fame.

[Shtonk]

Wow fuck Strickland forever for this. A while ago I tried to argue this shithead's side in the Baker controversy but after reading this I'm glad Andrew stole everything from him. I'm also a little bummed no one cared to mention this in that thread... should be the first thing to come up when somebody inquires about Strickland

Sorry I'm on father duty and not really able to search and read through old threads but if you pointed me in the right direction I'd be very grateful and would buy you a beer if you ever came to Berlin
