I enjoyed that.
After hearing all this stuff about what’s going on with 917 from both sides, honestly it feels like AO is a lot more self aware of the falling out than some of the dudes who left. I mean he’s admitted he wasn’t present enough and played a big part, but in my opinion, he has a fair point when he says he started 917 to take it in a direction he wanted, not what other people wanted. It seems like many of the team riders wanted to control the direction of the company, and I understand why Alex wasn’t down with that. And if because of that the team left, then no harm no foul on either side I say. I understand both sides perspective in that scenario.
What’s odd to me is Alex seems to understand that, but Cyrus in particular seems sour grapes about it in his Bunt episode. It rubs me the wrong way when people air out a ton of shit and then go “but I don’t really want to get into it.” Like buddy, you just did.
I don’t know, I think it just seems awfully contrived to put off this facade like you don’t want to talk a bunch of shit when you just did. (Which to be fair, Alex himself has been quite guilty of too.)
Intrigued to see where 917 goes next.
