Title: Paradox Grip(never heard of the company) homophobic?
Post by: Stoop Kid 2.0 on August 24, 2017, 07:25:51 AM
Brink just posted this on his insta. The shit Odell is saying seems like a harsh situation. What is paradox grip? Also it's pretty idiotic that Tim Oconor condemns the word fag but blatantly uses the word regular(yes tons of people find that word extremely offensive).

Kind of fucked up for whoever paradox is to put names on blast like that.

Didn't the owner use to post on here? Talked a lot about like energy crystals or something, being in the grit of the griptape?

He always seemed pretty mentally ill, if I'm remembering correctly.

If my memory serves me correctly, paradox grip was on Slap and got kooked out of the forum.  All I can remember is that he's the worst.  For those who don't know, Paradox grip is griptape with a small magnet sheet in it (like power balance)...It's regular.  I'm surprised they still exist.

"Hates Gays" is up for debate, but accusing people who don't want to work with him of being gay does stink of homophobia.

I when I worked at a shop this dude messaged the facebook page about selling paradox. We were selling Jessup, and the relatively new mob. The owner declined because no one had heard of it, and unlike mob, it wasn't being recommended by NHS or eastern skate supply, and kids weren't asking for it.

He called up the shop and was gave us crap, for not being skater ran (The owner's moms helped out and would answer the phone) Carrying Jessup which was not skater owned(I never confirmed) and how mob was a gimmick/fad.

Wouldn't be the first time. I know someone really close to me who was in a relationship with a guy for 8 years, and then they were married for about a year. Once they move to California, he abruptly came out of the closet and relocated to San Francisco. It was foul, since that was the girl's first and only relationship with a guy. He even took the dog, to add insult to injury.

That said, I know the dude behind Paradox has the mentality of a preteen in the 90's who just started listening to Eminem. Coming out to your friends and family can be rough, regardless of how accepting they are. Most of the time the feared backlash is all in your head and people are cool about it, but everyone is their own worst enemy. I like how Paradox pretends that he's never had an issue with how he's perceived by others. I guess you have to be numb to what others think if you're gonna pretend that crystal spirits live in your griptape and help you land your tricks.

You think Gino knew he was sponsored by this guy?

O'dell:

"He is not only a homophobe, he sells Power Balance / snake oil grip tape which is obviously a scam. He is taking advantage of younger and less educated skaters making claims of magical grip tape that will improve your skating with "NASA, Ninja, ancient technology"-

And the reason he runs a campaign against me, calling me gay or a bully at any chance is because he emailed me wanting me to do an episode of Epicly Later'd on him and I told him I didn't believe his grip tape was real. And he raged and turned it into a public beef, brigading his fans at me. He even emailed @don_brown and told him to fire me. Sorry, but I don't back con-artist, pseudoscientific bullshit, designed to rip children off. Sorry Paradox

All because I wouldn't do an episode on him or give him coverage. Which is why he is attacking you as well; "hey Rob, let me on Weekend Buzz so I can talk about my trip to Tibet where I learned the power ancient double placebo grip... no? Ok fuck you fag I'm gonna tell the world how gay you are...". What a piece of shit"

Flip claims to have "reinvented" the skateboard......is it true? does it feel better, last longer and make you skate better with less effort?

still hurt so don't have a valid opinion....

but, this is the future of skateboarding..more technology for more fun.
like faster computers, sleek swimsuits and urethane wheels....technology does= more fun.

That Paradox dude came into my shop one day and while I was helping paying customers, threw all of these grip sheets down in the middle of the store and started talking wildly about the shit. Talking about crystals and balance and shit. Then he took a sheet an crumpled it up in front of me and said that it was still good.... look....seee. I was totally weirded out. He then proceeded to stalk me on instagram saying that if I were a real skateshop, that I wouldn't support a brand like Jessup.

Ughhhh.

I had the misfortune of going skating with someone who knows Paradox Ari and invited him along. It was a day of living hell. That dude is one of the kookiest kooks out there, hands down. He's also very aggressive and has a lot of pent up anger about the skate industry, and it was obvious that anger came from everyone shunning him since he's a kook who tries to sell people his shitty, fake magic griptape. It was a major exercise in biting my tongue. Almost everything that came out of his mouth was pure bullshit, and all of it was said as if he was incredibly angry about the subject. He seems to believe every ridiculous conspiracy theory, and has a massive ego. He talks about how all the biggest and most respected pros 'know he's the real deal'... which is obviously laughable. I remember my friend questioning something he said, and he got so fucking aggro instantly. Just lecturing the other guy relentlessly about some BS. I was actually really satisfied to find out that the dude behind such a shitty scam of a company was even kookier than I imagined. Fuck that dude. The worst indeed.

Like I've said before, I like the griptape. I never believed in the snake oil bullshit. It's the only grip I haven't had start just ripping off when it's below 0 out, it's the perfect grippieness for me and I liked the graphic grip designs they have because I'm into trippy shit. But I can't support somebody who's so ignorant and from everything I'm reading a general piece of shit. I don't think he's homophobic, it just sounds like he's a complete moron who can't put himself in somebody else's shoes. I don't get how it's hard to comprehend how difficult it would be for a male in our society to come out as being gay even though it is getting better each and every year. Also, trying to publicly out somebody whether they're gay or not is fucked.

brink is a gay man in every sense of the word apart from the fact that he has a wife, if he's offended by someone calling him closeted he should really re-evaluate his life - dude you make scented candles and drool over handsome skaters, you're basically throwing stones at a wall and crying when they bounce back and hit you, don't be such a bitch

I don't know about odell though, he could potentially be gay, but so can a lot of guys. Looking potentially gay isn't bad a bad thing either, alot of gay guys aren't really looking for a super feminine man anyway so someone like odell would be pretty perfect.

the grip is fine. i never heard any mention about the spirit crystals and magnets. i think he ditched that angle. i did hear his smear campaign against jessup tho. but yeah the dude Ari is pretty weird and kinda rude. i was gonna stock the grip at our skate shop. he told me to order from the website but the site was really crappy so i abandoned the cart and didnt order. Ari immediately starts leaving comments on the shops insta page about how we said we would buy some but didnt. i thought that was stupid and really impatient. the only reason we have the grip at the shop is because someone i can tolerate sells it for him and brings it to us at the shop.

and "pair-of-dicks" grip is hilarious. the logo is two tips touching or a pair-a-docking dicks if you will. not that theres anything wrong with that lol

Do it, you'll be the Bitch Skateboards of the 21st century!

Results, is there a story behind his Jessup smear campaign that you can elaborate on? From everything that's been said about this guy, it sounds like it's way more interesting than someone casually talking shit on the competition. I'm expecting him to talk about how the 5th dimensional reptilians who *really* control skateboarding have put the guys who own Jessup at the forefront, and they had to sacrifice stolen babies to an altar of Gator so the planets would align and destroy Black Magic griptape or something....

This wasn't Ari's first thread, but it was one of the first ones:
http://www.slapmagazine.com/component/option,com_jfusion/Itemid,4/index.php?topic=34020.0 (http://www.slapmagazine.com/component/option,com_jfusion/Itemid,4/index.php?topic=34020.0)

It's a long read (and we'd changed his name a while after this thread as well), but you'll get an idea of how much of a dipshit scammer he is.

The last page has a two-part review I did on his grip and a deck that was sent to me. Fuck Ari.

I watched You've Got Mail again last night. It was as amazing as I remembered.

I can't remember if I ever read through that thread or not since I have as many brain cells as I have t-cells (read: not many!) but this is awesome and I'm so happy you linked to it Grim.

Ari's a complete sack of shit. That kook still stalks me on Linked In a couple of times a year since we wrecked him here a few years ago. The best part is when he started another account pretending to be his own lawyer. Dude can go fuck himself.

I think him actually getting a lawyer involved might have lost him money...

The holograms must have told him the half baked scare tactic was the better move  ::)

Saw that this morning. dude seems like a parasite. Pontus runs the Polar instagram right? I wonder how many companies Ari has gone too for a collab if his reason for reaching out to Polar was " we have the same japanese distro". Pathetic

brink is a gay man in every sense of the word apart from the fact that he has a wife, if he's offended by someone calling him closeted he should really re-evaluate his life - dude you make scented candles and drool over handsome skaters, you're basically throwing stones at a wall and crying when they bounce back and hit you, don't be such a bitch

I don't know about odell though, he could potentially be gay, but so can a lot of guys. Looking potentially gay isn't bad a bad thing either, alot of gay guys aren't really looking for a super feminine man anyway so someone like odell would be pretty perfect.

Your sense of masculinity must be so fragile
