Did we really leave out J-Lay?

Was he still on top when those selfies came out? Pretty great nevertheless

It's not hard to imagine that Greco was/is a homophobe. Reynolds? Could be. Back then, pretty much anyone was including Muska and Rowley if you wanna go by their 90s itvs in Big Brother. But it's apparently too much to ask of our scene to make pro skaters accountable for homophobia, even when it amounts to hate crimes and murder...

Have there been any/many queer skaters on Baker? Only one that comes to mind is Elissa.

I'm 99% positive that Elissa is not gay, and 99% positive that Greco could be gay.

Cool joke but Elissa's partner has forever been Rachel Garcia, who's driving the car and points a snapshot at the lens in her Baker part.

Ryan Fabry will always be the patron saint of career enders.

Seaholm trophy chuck is pretty funny and at least no one was cucked or killed (aside from his career).

Love to know where he is now. I get it that he was a “sore loser, poor sport” etc aside from this but it’s pretty funny in hindsight. Like I love contests actually but trying to one up someone else and score better is some sport jock type shit. At least he had a smile on his face while doing it, I think it’s funny that everyone took it so serious and that he was black balled for it. With all the shit that’s gone on and people kept their relevance, all it took was that? I have heard he’s cried at his placings before and I’m not trying to fend for him cause I don’t really care. Also what’s up with dude in the back grabbing that kid?

I met this really hot rollerblader girl named Coco at the indoor Vans park in Orange maybe like 8 or 9 years ago? I got her instagram at that time, and kept up with what she was doing via the gram. I guess she was like one of the top female rollerbladers in the world, she did have a real cool style I have to admit.

Anyways, it was maybe a few months later she started dating Austin Seaholm. They were what appeared to be a power couple for a quick minute, or maybe a few years, but ended up having a pretty bad breakup. I'm pretty sure she started posting about how he gave her genital herpes, and was abusive to her, just all around "bad-guy" vibes. It's been so long now I don't recall exact details, but remember just a bunch of STD awareness and acceptance posts from her after their breakup. I enjoyed watching Austin Seaholm at the Dew Tours and shit doing his twirly blord slides, but post-Coco I haven't liked the guy.

I don't like to make assumptions, but I'm pretty sure the woman helping her run Gnarhunters is her partner.

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

[close]

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

[close]

Uhhh what? Pretty common knowledge he got the boot from DLX because he got caught stealing product when they employed him, years before instagram existed

Yeah that was the case, I believe Julien confirmed it himself. I bought a pin and a set of wheels from him at Potrero when I was a teenager, I didn't know at the time it was stolen. I wish I still knew where that pin was. Also, I'm pretty sure Instagram existed at the time, it was certainly in its infancy though.

From the April 2006 issue of Skateboarder

1. lame hypermasculinity present in not only skating but society at large at the time. I'll never hate on someone crying, let it all out player
2. with the way he was heading Gator would've kooked himself out of the industry eventually regardless
3. too bad Christian got tied up with drugs, imagine where he'd be if that never happened
4. lol
5. wonder who this one is. would still be one hell of a mistake all these years later
6. wasn't this a sketch in a Girl video with Lance Mountain? idk what this is all about, Lance is still the shit, also even if it was real who cares what hobbies people have outside of skating, we literally play with, bitch and moan about, and practically dedicate our lives to this useless wooden toy, why should we judge someone for being into pogo sticks or kendamas or even fucking rollerblades
7. lol Bill Weiss has his own company, doesn't sound like any harm was really done
8. James Kelch wasn't the only EMB loc to be smoking crack, he was just the most publicized... cough cough Mike Carroll cough cough
9. ouch
10. Unfortunately this one is alive and well throughout the skate industry in 2024 with no plans of slowing down

I think 5 is a hypothetical, but 9 is not. Technically, these both apply to the same person, although whatever fight may have gone down was probably one sided.

Number 6 is likely a reference to Andy Mac who was at one point was pushing turbo powered "extreme" pogo-sticks to the X-Games youth crowd.

So who was 9 then?

They talk about it in Andy's Epicly Later'd. For a while, Andy was still riding for Anti-Hero, but they would take his pro board away because he would get caught stealing from the DLXSF warehouse when he worked there. I think eventually, they just fully let him go after he couldn't stop.

Ok so a dude called Ryan Fabry banged Sheffey's wife and tried to fight him over it? Kinda G in its insanity.
