Jeremy Wray selling single shoes in size 5 for $100 on his IG making me wonder even is online garage sales anyway.

[close]

His insta makes me feel weird - how has such a powerful skater been reduced to silly trick-tips?

Dude was one of my favorites growing up.

[close]

something about him is just a little off.  i can't put my finger on it, but it makes me sad for some reason

[close]

He reminds me a lot of one of my best friends who is an insane skater but also a bit of a square. Like he’s down to trespass for spots and light shit up but is scared to go to Burnside because “we could get stabbed”. Lovable family man type.

[close]

Watching some industry guys do a IG live viewing of One Step Beyond and they did not have great things to say about him.  One was Skate Talk Bob who I know very little about, so I don’t know if that compromises the opinion

[close]

jeremy wray > 99% of image driven pro skaters > 99% of image driven hipsters with no actual accomplishments > skate talk bob

[close]

True true but as I’ve learned, sometimes when someone like Jeremy Wray isn’t as hooked up or as honored as their legacy should imply and then you hear people who are at least part of or associated with the industry say he’s not a great dude...it seems credible at least

[close]

Why though ? What have you heard saying he's a bad guy ?

I've only heard the contrary

[close]

Bad might be a bit strong.  Chad Fernandez probably isn’t a bad guy, but people likely thinks he just sucks (not as a talent thing).  It was a vibe like that.  Also, please don’t make me defend or remember specifics of an after midnight IG live video from last may.  They weren’t stoked on him and i remember thinking that must be why he’s never gotten the shine he deserved or continues to deserve

[close]

Honestly, this is kinda weak sauce. Your comparing Chad Fernandez to Jeremy Wray, you can’t remember any specifics of who said what, except that wknd groupie (and notorious turd/troll) skatebob was involved, and this somehow adds up to “that must be why he’s never gotten the shine he deserved or continues to deserve”, “not a great dude”, “it seems credible at least”. All from an after midnight IG live video 8 months ago. Ok.

[close]

Ffs your reading comprehension is a bit shit isn’t it?  Someone originally mentioned that something felt off about Wray.  I then related an experience I had on IG Live where Skate Talk Bob and Grant Yansura were watching One Step Beyond and didn’t have great things to say about Wray. 

This isn’t some fucking exposé here, just anecdotally heard that he may be kinda lame as a person, not a bad person like KA, but a lame person like Chad Fernandez, as in someone who people in the skate industry don’t go out of their way to associate with or mention favorably, if at all.   For someone of Wrays caliber and geographical proximity to the industry, his relative anonymity feels weird.

The veracity of the story I left up for people to make their own decisions.  I’m not a journalist, I didn’t get it sourced.  Just relating an innocuous story from like 9 months ago.  I’ll take copious notes next time, Nicki

Do you know if that live stream is saved anywhere? Actually sounds like kind of a fun watch.



Wray is a legend and I grew up a huge fan, but I'd be lying if I said his internet presence didn't give me a weird vibe about him. He talks about himself in 3rd person and makes Instagram posts about a bunch of pro accomplishments he can't achieve because nobody will film him? In California? That is remarkably hard to believe unless he really burned some bridges behind the scenes. (which I don't necessarily believe he did. He doesn't seem like a bad guy, but after following him on IG for awhile, it's not too surprising that he's not getting the same treatment as some other legends out there.)

[SatanicPanic]

I thought Wray’s original story of “my career died because I got on Element” seemed to check out.

This bullshit sums up slap perfectly.

Doofus detectives coming to the conclusion that JW is a bad person because he doesn't seem to be in the industry anymore (according to their instagram research) and that fact he can't find anyone to film.

It's actually laughable...

Doofus shitty poster can't read and comes to conclusion that slap thinks JW is a bad person because he can't differentiate "there has to be some reason he isnt involved in the industry" (according to the things JW constantly has talked about and posted about essentially since leaving Element) vs "we have officially declared JW as a bad person and perhaps a dog killer?" and the fact that he claims he can't find a single filmer in California who would want to film with an objectively iconic skateboarder

It's actually laughable....

Ok well I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Speculating someone is a shitty person because they don't seem to have a industry presence and can't find someone to film with them.

Jeremy Wray definitely turned into an uncle Rico, but uncle Rico is way cooler than anyone on wknd. That whole company is never going to wash off the stain of Johans crusty herpes discharge.

What does "not a great dude" mean

In context to his professionalism and relation to the industry, it can mean a lot of things. It's a pretty big leap to assume that saying someone's not great means they're a downright shitty person, and it appears that every participant but you gets the nuance of that. Maybe the people in that stream really did mean that he was an actual shitty guy. Either way you're shooting the messenger and nobody else is being unreasonable here.

we only been waiting like 3 years for the covers and video part jwray promised us on the nine club. what a great guy.

Lol “I’m not saying he’s a bad guy but no one wants to work or film him even though he was a top pro. How dare you suggest I am suggesting he is a bad guy!”
