Damn Ryan clements sounds like a fuckin square ngl. Give the AMs some damn prize money

[close]

Not sure you know the definition of amateur is.

Okay Merriam-Webster   

I might add that the status of “AM” within the realms of skateboarding doesn’t necessarily adhere to your little dictionary definition of the word

Here’s an article for you, and your boy Ryan clements has some quotes in it, so maybe you will want to read it then.

Yea ive tried to start the convo of 'am vs amateur' and 'pro vs professional' but it didnt really go anywhere. I still think its a valid topic of discussion.

Why would am be different than amateur? It's the same term with the same meaning, just abbreviated. Same applies for pro and professional.

Most of all, ams do deserve to get paid in some scenarios, but it just depends on who is running the contest. Do they choose to give out prize money or not is subjective and I think it's fair either way.

Often pros get actual $ prizes and ams get gear (and exposure, technically) for their winnings.

You just contradicted yourself but ok

[SHAQUEEFA]

Hey guys, y'all know I work for Ryan. Let me clear something up.

When he talks about not paying people, he is referring to like all ages contests with a 12 and under division, and giving big money to flow kids.

We have run The Boardr Open for the last few years and although we advertise it as "open" meaning pros can enter, it usually ends up as a upper to mid level am contest and we have a small prize purse for that. I think first place was $500.

The idea is to not set the expectations that 8-12 year old kids are winning significant prize money at contests. That is not sustainable to a contest series.

That being said, the prize money is all up to the sponsors. Sometimes it's there, sometimes its not.

Lately, we have also been doing a lot of "tricks for cash" events where everyone can get involved and we give out maybe $500-$1000 in ten and twenty dollar bills. That kind of thing creates excitement and a great time for everyone.

I'm always down to talk about this stuff and help understand it in any way I can. Feel free to reply here or PM me if you have some more specific questions.

[IBSflippedeltoro]

It was kinda whack he singled out PJ in the interview. But I understand where he’s coming from. I don’t think he was hating more just disappointed. But what if PJ was having a bad day or healing from an injury. Still sucks for the fans that showed up expecting to see him skate. Even if it was just a kickflip over the pyramid like suggested. I went to a Deathwish demo and was under the assumption Greco and Ellington would be there, which neither of them were. All good but kind of misleading, maybe it was a misunderstanding. And Lenoce was there but not skating, would’ve been sick to see him just do a Nollie heel on flat or anything really.

What is PJ doing nowadays anyway? At least Tom Penny is constantly uploading clips. PJ is being too harsh on himself. He should've just had a part for the true video and people would be happy.

I’d gnar if PAL status

[Ghost Face]

Did this Clements vid get pulled? I was half way through yesterday and it froze. Refreshed and got some error message so I moved on. Went back today and it's not uploaded anymore.

[liquid]

clements and his goons have been milking and gatekeeping and rigging skateboarding for a while now while at the same time claiming to do all the good in the world for the community... listen to any of their interviews closely and you can find contradictions all over the place... also any critic will be blacklisted and cut from their little elite empire destined for the rest of the time in the trenches.

latest example to me was toby ryan- all new sponsors and is all of a sudden pushed by thrasher the contests and so on. also had a fun insta that got deleted with the process and he nowadys posts generic shit seemingly just like ordered from above. kinda made me less of a fan.

also sad for the skaters that get dumped in the blink of an eye once they 'misbehave'- they should have done the math though to see who makes the most- them as top athletes or the darkmen.

He lived near me for years . I saw him skate that whole time leading up to true , even met his filmer at a casting thing at one point. But to drop nothing was just weird. And now he’s like in some fake sihk cult wears a turban and follows a bunch of right wing January 6th types on ig. But hey someone still pays him

[MtnDoucheBag]

I remember when it first started I was stoked every week to watch. I’ve probably watched 3 or 4 episodes this year. Why do these interviews have to be longer than an hour? Turns it into a snooze fest.

[IBSflippedeltoro]

They need to stfu with this "rigged" bullshit. No one is believing that. The judging has been more lenient for carriuma riders. That's a fact, and that's what people have been saying.

[pizzafliptofakie]

Whoever told Chris that he's good at impressions is so mean.

[guyledouche]

If I remember freshman English class, I believe that’s a straw man fallacy. People suggest Cariuma has influenced the competition and Chris Roberts and Kelly Hart mock them for it and simplify the argument by saying, “People actually believe it’s rigged.”

The Nine Club is corny as it is and I haven’t seen it in a while, but that whole thing led me to conclude that it’s not worth my time at all. Their fans are cringe too. The dude who send them $100 every week, the other guy who runs the discord and Crob’s streams, everyone with the same comment, “I used to skate when I was 12 and you guys got me back into skating!” and proceeds to post clips of themselves trying to ollie in their garage. The whole thing gives off culty vibes like Scientology and Mormonism.

[HaveFunSkateboarding]

Whoever told Chris that he's good at impressions is so mean.

This.
He might be the worst person for this type of thing in all honesty. He’s horrible at interviewing. Absolutely horrible. The questions he asks. His responses to what guests say. His opinions on almost everything are so odd and his reasonings behind them are just as odd and weird. Actually, Jeron aside, they’re all such weird people on that show, at least to me (I’m including the old Experience hosts in that sentiment as well). It could just be me and how I was brought up, but they all seem so privileged and are so oblivious to it. Even Roger who some people speak of in a higher regard. They’re so annoying with all the “let me get a box” shit. All they talk about is supporting people and then they just ask for the stuff for free. I’m rambling. The show stinks and I watch it every week.

i just got the intel from my boss, she said we still got time until the end of the year.

Kelly is probably dumber than most household pets so that's not really surprising. They probably have to smear peanut butter on the wall to keep him quiet at sole tech staff meetings.

I haven’t watched that clip but that surprises me. Usually seems like he’s the only one who can do basic math.
