Paging Cult of Tom ....
One of my buddies drove the Flip team around Europe 2005ish and I said wow that must have been cool and he said he hated because they were doing a shitload of cocaine all day every day.
You're a treasure trove of salacious hearsay about the old Flip team today, aren't you?
Pure coincidence. And either first hand or VERY credible source. Ted Lee and Mirko Mangum from Planet Earth were at the Bourges skate camp in summer 1993, director was Serge Malinowski. Fact check me all you want. Not giving my buddies name who drove them around Europe though. He still works in the industry.
I love Flip though (in fact my all time fave team) and is it a surprise they did drugs or got drunk back then? If you do gonna do coke on a tour and act like dicks to your driver, expect some backlash sooner or later.
I've heard tons of stories like that about many pros and ams I am not disclosing here.
