Just read this entire thread and I'm impressed with your intelligent responses to all the questions. It seems like you have really grown up and are trying to move on from your bad rep. in the skateboarding industry. I just wanted to wish you the best of luck in your life endeavors. You definetely have burned some bridges in the past, but remember life is full of second, third, forth chances. Best of luck and as Harold would say: "Legends never Die".

This happens everywhere in life, but everywhere, you don't have wispering haters throwing out your life on the table for all possible future sponsors to see. Trust me, if you burn one bridge, they feel like they have the right to call every company and to tell them you shouldn't be sponsored. IT'S A JOKE! SKATING'S A LOT FUNNER WHEN SHADY POLITICS AND IDIOTS AREN'T THE ONES YOU HAVE TO RELY ON TO PUT FOOD ON YOUR TABLE.
ANYWAYS, THAT IS THE PAST THAT WILL HAUNT ME FOREVER, BUT STILL, FUCK EVERYBODY. I HAVE LEARNED AND DON'T OWE ANYONE ANY APPOLOGIES. PEOPLE ARE JUST TOO DAMN FUCKING GREEDY IN THIS INDUSTRY. I COULD NAME NAMES BUT I WON'T. YOU SHOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO SEE WHO THE EGOTISTISTICAL MONEY GRUBBING PEOPLE ARE. IT'S NOT FAR FROM YOUR ASSUMPTIONS. TRUST THAT.
