In the Ryan Reyes thread somebody wrote Adam Alfaro focused his career by stealing an iPod at a Zumiez demo. I thought it was drugs did him in but if its the petty theft that's pretty funny. That kid throwing away his third place price at Tampa Am was pretty good too. Never heard from again. There must be some juicy stuff out there, like hooking up with the wrong woman or making the wrong joke.

Corey Duffels Big Brother interview didn't end but surely impacted his career.
Billy Pepper punching Phelps and getting banned from Thrasher
That one gay skater who was brave enough to come out in the 90s (forgot his name, sorry) and lost his sponsors.
Earl Parkers, (the "master journalist") rise and fall within a year or so
Edit: missed the "hilarious" in the title of the post but I will keep it up anyway. None of these are hilarious.

I get this story confused with Andrew Langi stealing Nick Merlino’s MacBook. It seemed like Langi had a promising career with pretty good sponsors for the time. He fell off quick after this.

Weck didn’t kill his “career” he just said the obvious quiet part aloud. It was evident he wasn’t exactly not a racist prick. This dude was posting himself beating up bums wya before that he just didn’t have biebel level sponsors to be kicked of of. But he had already fallen off by covid so it doesn’t really matter . Anyone see his attempt at comeback a few weeks ago after baker has a deathwish 2? Laughable

I had no idea what you were talking about at first. I went through the thread again and you did post the link earlier in the thread, my bad. To be honest I tend to skim/not read what people post if they are relatively new.
I am not trying to gate keep information. Here is a thread that will explain how to embed YouTube links so that the video may be played rather than be a clickable URL. I hope this information helps.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Neen gave up a Lululemon sponsorship for telling Weck to kill himself over a salmon recipe, what an idiot.
On the flip side, Weck shot himself in the foot for calling Stevie's mom a crack whore in the height of George Floyd protests
I would like to know more of this salmongate please
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.
Jeremy Wray all time, Sage for more recent era.
Wrays are definitely great. Sages are wonderful too but he’s doing them on flat or off bumps. Lindsey really pushed them to the next level while making them look effortless.

Let's be fair, Wenning was at the very least smoking crack.
Thank you both for clarifying. Gallant seems awesome. Sucks he firebombed his own career though.

Oh, just because you're this web-savvy, personal computer whizz-kid that knows how to embed stuff you're allowed to go full Denis Leary on an old man like me huh?! Mate, you've got no chance of taking mine as long as I'm breathing. I'll always be eating. We'll never be even, even though we're all created equal.
I had no idea what you were talking about at first. I went through the thread again and you did post the link earlier in the thread, my bad. To be honest I tend to skim/not read what people post if they are relatively new.
I am not trying to gate keep information. Here is a thread that will explain how to embed YouTube links so that the video may be played rather than be a clickable URL. I hope this information helps.

What’s the story with this? i know that he kinda blew it getting on birdhouse because he was too fried on acid or some shit and wasn’t skating demos. i’ve never heard of anything other than that. i’ve heard thru the grapevine that he is schizophrenic.
JohnRob is a very recognized skateboarder in Arizona. his part in the first A happy medium video where he skates to WuTang is all time.

This Strickland narrative is such bullshit. He created the logo by tracing a font on paper. This doesn’t mean he owns the company. It means he is a homophobic graphic designer. Fuck that guy.

Weeelll he made the first two videos as well that established many of the classic tropes and they're using the style he created with the font and colours to this day. Buy yeah he doesn't own a single share of that company which in his case is what makes it so satisfying

Considering that was the mid-late 90’s and while we can’t assume everyone would be as accepting as they would be in 2024, the threat was that the TM would leave and take the team with him (allegedly). From what I understand nobody on the team was ever named so we can’t jump to conclusions.

In the Ryan Reyes thread somebody wrote Adam Alfaro focused his career by stealing an iPod at a Zumiez demo. I thought it was drugs did him in but if its the petty theft that's pretty funny. That kid throwing away his third place price at Tampa Am was pretty good too. Never heard from again. There must be some juicy stuff out there, like hooking up with the wrong woman or making the wrong joke.
Andrew Langi did the same with a laptop from a industry event, so got the boot from Flip.
It’s crazy to picture nick merlino using a laptop
Pornography
Langi worked at my local shop for a bit after this all went down and he was always really chill and cool to me and my friends. From what I understand, it wasn't solely the laptop situation that ended his career, but also partying and whatnot. He's working at an airport now and seems to be enjoying life.
My ex skated back in the day there were very few women. He was among the few scumbags who knew she was taken by me, another skater, and was trying to sleaze his way into her pants, verified through texts. So ya, no surprise he got booted from the industry for stealing another skater's laptop and forgoing skating to do coke in the LA nightlife.
Great skateboarding though

The order of the list made me scratch my head. Then, I remembered the 2000s when some kid threw a fit for getting second place at Tampa Am and the death of Shane Cross.
It’s kind of true because Ali Boulala still had his name on stuff a couple years after that. I remember some ugly Etnies with cheetah print and a signature pair of Flip pants, unless that was just old gear that couldn’t move because of what he did. The fit at Tampa ended that dude’s career immediately.

Good eye, my memory of the 2000s isn’t as good as the 2010s. That list makes no sense to me. Murder should be #1. #2 should be sleeping with a team member’s wife…don’t know the story behind that or how many times it’s happened.

Either one of his friends or another skater outed him as an antifa widow heckler, based on how he looked in the '90s. Henry Sanchez still applauded the witch hunt. Would be a funny career comeback without the death threats.

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.

Pretty sure he’s never been in ‘prison’.
Lived across the street from Sumner for a few years and have been working alongside his father in law for over a decade. I’ve asked him why he stepped away from professional skateboarding.
Wanna know the answer? Buckle up… he had kids. Didn’t get it at the time but by the time my kid had a schedule of going to and from school, soccer practice, homework, etc i get what he told me. Just wants to be a good dad.
Yeah, Duffel was top dawg on Foundation years after that incident. Only thing that ended his career was staying on Foundation for so long where you couldn’t really see him on any other team after that.

It's not in my top 10 parts or anything but it's an easy watch, pleasant song, had some great unusual tricks (something I always appreciated about his skating and looked forward to seeing ever since his Hot Chocolate mannuals) and always made me want to go cruise about.

He had a ton of talent and a look that people gravitated to, so he was going to be fine no matter what.
I think the interview did cause him to lose Emerica as a sponsor and potentially miss out on riding for Baker. So if anything, the interview made him miss out on having a successful pro shoe and maybe the credibility of being a Baker guy. 88 Footwear wasn't exactly flying off of shelves.

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.

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

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
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
I think 5 is lame but reasonable especially when you're young..... most beefs that end up in sketchy fights/sleeping with buddies wife are pretty foul and inexcusable....
However in unknown circumstances 9 could be excused had he not known, Sheffy should've looked at his wife because it takes two to tango.....

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.
You know that and the 25 years of interviews and videos in which pros talk about how people were weird to her on tour cause she’s a woman and the team would just laugh at the socially awkward skaters trying to hit on a gay woman .

Not a career ender by any means, but Muska definitely got kicked off of Toy Machine for some drunk shenanigans.
At the "Welcome to Hell" premiere he got too drunk on Goldschlager and called Templeton essentially a bitch because the video wasn't going to premiere due to some technical issues. I still think this is one of the funniest reasons to ever get kicked off of a brand.
Again, not even remotely a career ender because Muska went on to actually become the Muska with the creation of Shorty's...and in time we get the Chadilliac.

I thought him wanting last part in WTH was what caused the whole thing

Ended up googling him and read his Chromeball. Seems like that's pretty much exactly how the story goes.

There's been so many stories of this night from different perspectives that it is difficult to know exactly what went down and why. The general overview I've gathered is this:
As the filming deadline loomed for Welcome To Hell, it became apparent that either Jamie or Muska was going to get last part, based on their respective footage. This created some tension between the two, especially because Jamie is also the de facto filmer, editor, and team manager for Toy. Muska breaks his ankle trying to tailslide the Cardiel hubba, which allows Jamie to pull ahead & get more clips to justify giving him last part. You could speculate that the frustration of being injured, the tension of the last months of filming, losing last part to the guy who had the hands on the reins the whole time anyways and who was probably going to give himself the last part even if Chad didn't get hurt, was building inside The Muska. Then it's premiere night, the final mastering of the premiere copy gets delayed/lost and there is no video to show. People are confused/frustrated/angry, including an intoxicated Muska, who goes off on Ed and Ed kicks him off that night/next day. My assumption is that he was partly frustrated at Ed for being such a passive team owner and letting JT run everything, which made Chad feel like he was being held back/overshadowed.
This is from 15+ years of hearing many different versions of the story, and I probably missed some details or misinterpreted some of it. Lmk if you think I missed anything.

Nah that wasn't the reason, Chad was actually injured and had already accepted the fact that Jamie was going to get curtains in "Welcome to Hell."
He talks about it specifically at (13:20) in his Epicly Later'd.
