I had no idea Jimmy Carlin was no longer riding for Friendship until Gallant's Nine Club interview...
So he has no more sponsors now or... ?
Him saying his camera equipment is "gone" and not stolen makes me think he didn't own his own camera equipment to begin with. If it was stolen they would make sure and mention that a million times for the $ympathy, but they just say it's gone. Either it ran away or the owner cut off access.
So that’s a no for me dog.

A few years back I posted a Pixelvision camera I had on IG and Tim Olsen hit me up for it. I agreed to a trade of one fucking skateboard and maybe some shirts (I have another Pixelvision camera of my own, yeah I hoard a lot of thrift store stuff) and sent it off to him in good faith and never got shit. After a few months of weak ass replies about "sorry, dude, I forgot. I'll send you a box this week" I just gave up.

I’m assuming you’ve never met him, so I guess take my word for it. Met him randomly once at my local he was fun to skate and shoot the shit with. He is also good and really consistent.
wait. let me get this straight.
so he forgot his cameras a a spot, and his first inclination was not to drive back there, but to go to a computer, create a gofundme, and create a social media campaign? somethin's fucky.
When Dan Corrigan was on 1031 with Cyril Jackson of all people, they skated a demo in a indoor skatepark in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. I was sitting at the deck of a qp with some friends, Dan Corrigan is about to drop in, and absolutely not kidding he rips a giant wet fucking fart right in front of me and my friends. I'm talking inches from our faces. He skated non stop and didn't miss a trick, but I never liked this guy because of that.

Unless I am misunderstanding how all of this works, something really sucks with this whole plot.

Okay this post fully solidifies that this was a scam. What the fuck???
filming the gear beforehand is a little weird... but would be a pretty elaborate scheme just to get a 10-day loan for $1000. if that really was the case, why not wait until the amount got closer to the 4k amount?
and for those saying he won't pay back the money, that just seems like a bad business move to alienate your supporters/customers. even if he is shady, I doubt he would jeopardize his .whole company just for a $1000 payout.

The thing that I never understand about these GoFundMe's are, if you're so desperate for that cash, why don't you ask a friend or family member to give you a part time loan? Is there really not one person in your life that trusts you who could give you a grand and then you slowly pay them back over time?

The fact that GoFundMe's have become the norm for shitty situations that happen in life is embarrassing.Well the difference is that you don't have to pay the person back

When you set up a GoFundMe you have the option of manual withdrawals or automatic scheduled withdrawals. I'm guessing that's what's up here. I'm not into Simpsons And Garfield SkateboardsTM and a GoFundMe for something you fucking lost is super lame, but I really don't think this is a money making (or loaning) scam.

I also have a Tim story that I would like to share. Many years ago we followed each other on Instagram (Before Friendship was estalished). He reached out to me about a painting I posted and asked if he could buy it from me. I replied and said, "Sure!" So, I named a price which I thought was pretty reasonable. He replied and told me he didn't have much money and couldn't do it at that price. I then asked him if he wanted to trade something for it. He replied and was down for a trade, asked for my address and I decided to ship off my painting to him. I never heard from him again. But I would see my painting from time to time hanging on his wall in some of his Instagram posts. I think he unfollowed me shortly after that too, haha. I have heard from other friends who have been burned by him as well.

Since you asked.....
At the same time that Tim released Ryan Gallant’s pro model he also put out a John Benton “bro model”. It had John’s name across it in big letters and Tim didn’t give him any money for royalties or anything when the board actually sold well because a lot of people like John.
Yes, John is mostly popular for his Instagram, @fustoop with a high follower count but that’s basically all Friendship is anyways. Just look at Aaron Yant, one of their riders who’s actually pro for them and he’s another “instagram skater” who only posts skatepark clips. At least John is out in the streets quite a bit.
That Garfield comic was really good, never knew they would get deep, or weird like the dog nut one. I also just remembered the Garfield movie with Bill Murray.

Obviously I could be remembering incorrectly or it could have been a different person all together.
Don't you wanna reiterate what you said on Instagram? Where you called me a "cuck" and then claimed you were living in Seattle at the time even though I didn't even say what year this took place?

No, I'm talking about what you posted on your Instagram story (and subsequently deleted), before you asking anything of me, where you claimed that you were living in Seattle at the time the story took place, but I didn't cite a year.

Your story is just that, a story, a fabrication.

Stop avoid it and just say your claims are bogus.
I get it you want to make me upset and you have, I’m a sensitive person and this really bugs me that you feel the need to try and put me down with this made up story.
