[snowballz]

Hope Max and Cyrus can find legit board sponsors. Real as fuck of Alex to admit he was absent.

[excitableboy]

This guy is all candor it's great.

[brucewillis]

Well...

[Colt Cannon's Cargos]

Great skater, insufferable personality

[Dorje Drolo]

Now there's a straight shooter with upper management written all over him

[Lifer]

Aidan, out of all the dudes that were on 917, not being down with Chris Millic getting on the team seems a little ironic.

[jerrygurneyscream]

I just saw a story for the new 917 line and wow it just looked like a pacsun photoshoot. Ive been trying to stay kinda neutral on this 917 shit but thats really hard to ignore.

Good interview though, glad alex isn't completely giving up

[doublesteveburger]

God I love this spazz

Aidan, out of all the dudes that were on 917, not being down with Chris Millic getting on the team seems a little ironic.

probably because Aidan is a microwave version of Mango

[newspaperparty]

such an interesting guy, i never quite can decide my pinion of him. I think i still back him though. Haha such a strange dude i wish this was longer. I hope for the best for him, have always loved 917 but in large part due to everyone who left

[Welpok]

First time in a while a while team quits their sponsor or what?

[Idk]

Mango >> Aiden

[Big Skatefase]

I miss Skate Wise. I just like hearing Alex talk about the skateboarding industry in an unfiltered way.

[moneen]

dude seems insufferable to be around, but I don't know him obviously so only saying based off these interviews.

[Pete]

lol @ someone hitting him up to quit that wasnt even on the team. thats some next level trolling

 "just had a homie quit who wasn't even on the team" that part killed me

What's his beef with FA? His answer felt like there was a bit of animosity there. He seems annoying but not that bad, like I'd hangout with him once a month or so but wouldn't be able to daily.

I wonder what hair products he uses, shit looks luxurious.

[Pete]

also waiting for dill to come out and say alex was never asked to ride for FA. "i offered to give him boards...not a spot on the  team. the team is for the kids." like he told koston when he straight up asked dill if he could ride for the shit

they took aidan, vincent and nik from 917

i mean, if you count hockey as fa, which i do

[Atiba Applebum]

Do not get the hate and people calling him insufferable.   Seems like one of the few skaters with a brain and a point of view as opposed to all the braying morons doing revs or hellriding

[yungthug]

What's his beef with FA? His answer felt like there was a bit of animosity there.

In his Bunt interview they asked him "last person you want on the sesh?" as part of their rapid fire segment and this was his response:

"I dunno - fuckin' Dill. That's the last person I want on the session, 'cause he's gonna be like 'fuck yeah'... like cheering you on, but you're like 'dude, I don't trust you."

[straight fucking edge]

mango doesn't make me laugh

[Idk]

Right. He seems like one of the few Pros in the industry that’s just willing to speak the truth.

[Mr. Stinky]

It's weird, the more this dude fucks up, the more I like him and want him to succeed.

samen I like him more and more. Just doing his thing, music, skating, brand, winging it a bit not taking it seriously because he can.

[Lloyd Braun]

I liked 917 a lot. Bummer everyone is of, but i I like that he can make light of it. Hopefully something cool comes of it.

[Eggie Vedder]

I really like that he gives such unfiltered answers. I don’t always agree with what he says but it’s pretty rad that he just doesn’t give a shit.

100%. I could see his neuroticism being tiring as a friend, but just hearing his honest opinion about anything to do with skateboarding is refreshing.

[fredgallSOTY]

glad to see him skating again

the guest trips idea sounds fun, could be some cool stuff that comes outta that.

agreed, his honesty is refreshing and i love that he doesn't seem to care what he says

[SmilingBoy]

I think his response to the FA question was more him trying to maintain his integrity and sticking with what he started, rather than jumping ship to a safer place. I do not think he has some deep hatred for Dill like some want to believe. I like 917 and the grimple style guest boards and trips could be a cool idea.
