If I recollect correct, these guys are actually masquerading as a skateboard organization, when in fact, they were, prior to their current incarnation, the governing body of competive rollerskating/inline sports competitions.
My hard drive may be glitching on this file recall, but I’m pretty certain these fucks have no business speaking on behalf of skateboarders at all.
We probably owe ol’ Brinky a collective thank you & a pat on the back for shining the spotlight on these turkeys’ mismanagement.
I’m gonna guess they fucked him over personally, or maybe some friends of his & he decided he wasn’t having it.
Now if only he can get skating removed from the Olympics altogether, I’ll buy him a steak dinner to go with that back pat.
