I would never have picked Bryce Wettstein to have an Elon Musk retweeting, transphobic father.

The video of himself skating the bowl to “challenge”me is reposted from 2018 fyi. 😂😂😂

And this was posted 3 days ago. But don’t worry … he assures us he’s not transphobic.



A game of SKATE against him would be sick though. I’d be down. Pretty sure I’d at least have a few lip tricks on the shallow part of that bowl too. Although transition is certainly my kryptonite. SLAP UNSANCTIONED!

How are you going to play him in skate when you're a rollerblader?

Here's an idea to solve all the contest skater and their parent's complaints about trans athletes:

Instead continuing down the road towards bro culture and putting ourselves at the center of some right-wing traditional sports culture war, let's just not have skateboarding be part of some stupid ass mainstream contest run by outsiders, kooks, jocks, and so on.

Let's go back to focusing on video parts that are about talent, style, charisma, creativity, etc. We can allow everyone to make a part that represents who they are and then as an audience, we can simply appreciate each part rather than worrying about who wins or loses (and the rewards that come from winning/losing).

I left skateboarding to escape jock culture for a reason. Pretty bummed Gary Ream, Hendrix, NBC, and a few other people decided bring jock culture to me.  And, I really appreciate that while they were doing it, they were telling me it was bound to happen, they were doing me a favor, and their actions were benefiting skateboarding as a whole. And, it had nothing to do with Ream, Hendrix, and others getting access to power/money by putting skateboarding in the center of the traditional sports world.

Honestly, I wasn't thrilled about the Olympics in the first place, I'm even less thrilled having to deal with the tabloid media create problems that can only exist when skateboarding is about winning/losing. The X-Games might have run into this, but skateboarding wouldn't have been a popular culture war target or attract as many culture war nuts, without the Olympics existing.

The only thing that’s cooler to Grrl with a skateboard is Grrl with a microphone and a drum set.

Americans saying "drum set" instead of drum kit, hits me right in the same place as when you say "Creg" instead of Craig, and put the days and months in the wrong order when writing the date.

Hello this is Max.  I probably wouldn't have been back on SLAP so soon, but people keep sending me screenshots of Brink's comments about me, including now on this topic thread, which seems really random.  But I would add that I too read the audit of Team USA Skateboarding.  That must be all behind the scenes issues.  As a father of a Team USA Skateboarding skater since the team's inception, I only noticed and witnessed total professionalism from them (apart from a momentary hiccup when Brink blocked me from all of USA Skateboarding's social media for bit).  In fact, USA Skateboarding somehow got my spacey teenage daughter to and from Tokyo 2021 Olympics in one piece, without a parent or agent allowed to attend, during all that crazy COVID protocol.  Specifically to Josh Friedberg and Mimi Knoop, my hat is off.  They made it happen and got Bryce there and back, mission accomplished.

As for Mr. Brink for some reason bringing my name up yet again, in a topic thread that has literally nothing to do with me, (in fact I'm probably already boring everybody right now), I'm just going to weigh in with some more actual facts, not because I care at all what Brink thinks about me, but rather because he took it upon him self in true journalistic fashion to start a trash thread about me, and then once I posted a fair rebuttal, he censored it and deleted it, claiming, I was "lying through my teeth.", without citing you any specifics of course, as to what I was exactly lying about. Because he can't.  Because I was not lying and I believe in full transparency for all.  So Brink, what exactly was I lying about and produce some evidence, full transparency.  I have literally nothing he can ask that I'm not willing to answer straight with a handshake to back it up.  Sorry you all are once again subjected to Brink's personal infatuation with me.  He should really take his issues with me off line, to my face. but he won't because he literally is the definition of a keyboard warrior.

Also to further clear up the record, We as a family did have an amicable split from Bryce's agency, not that any one really cares, this is so boring, everybody is still friends.  These things happen.  People change agents.  This is not even newsworthy.  Brink claims it because I'm a "dick".  Ouch, Brink...I'm so hurt!  Also somebody said they can't believe that I'm destroying Bryce's skating career or something like that.  It's quite the opposite - Bryce now has a giant creativity break from all the agency obligations and asks, nothing against them - it goes with the territory when you're under contracts.  Bryce has that much more time to enjoy her skateboard, surfboard, uke and is currently up at Camp Woodward for girls' week.  So in the future, not that any of you would, but if somebody did have a question about me or my actions, then you could just ask me.  I didn't hire Brink to be my publicist.  He's not doing a very good job at that.  If nothing else, if somebody calls somebody else a liar, we probably shouldn't just take their word for it - its best to do our own research.  Also if the Sketch Hitchcock guy on here is Skitch - you are a legend!

Respectfully,
Max Wettstein

Oh Max … Still lying. I don’t really have anything to say to you that the entire industry doesn’t already know. Nor would I ever in a million years shake those creepy 14 year old girl obsessing, transphobic hands of yours.

Save the date and see where his daughter’s career is a year from today, then two … since the beginning of the fall of USA Skateboarding and the loss of management he caused. Sadly none of it will be her fault. Also weird he would say they had no issues with USA Skateboarding when all the tweets I blocked him for were talking shit about us. I do believe they tried to sue us as well … because they and some other parents weren’t allowed to go to Tokyo as well because of covid … but he has no issues with USA skateboarding … just like he’s “not transphobic.”

Actually Max … I do have one thing to ask you. Have you heard the rumors going around about your wife allegedly sleeping with a pro skater? Because lot of us have. Maybe not here … but you know, us industry folk. But between that and your daughter’s career and your abs and pitching stories to the Daily Mail, it seems to me you have way bigger things at home to worry about then lying here to save face.

Hello this is Max.  I probably wouldn't have been back on SLAP so soon, but people keep sending me screenshots of Brink's comments about me, including now on this topic thread, which seems really random.  But I would add that I too read the audit of Team USA Skateboarding.  That must be all behind the scenes issues.  As a father of a Team USA Skateboarding skater since the team's inception, I only noticed and witnessed total professionalism from them (apart from a momentary hiccup when Brink blocked me from all of USA Skateboarding's social media for bit).  In fact, USA Skateboarding somehow got my spacey teenage daughter to and from Tokyo 2021 Olympics in one piece, without a parent or agent allowed to attend, during all that crazy COVID protocol.  Specifically to Josh Friedberg and Mimi Knoop, my hat is off.  They made it happen and got Bryce there and back, mission accomplished.

As for Mr. Brink for some reason bringing my name up yet again, in a topic thread that has literally nothing to do with me, (in fact I'm probably already boring everybody right now), I'm just going to weigh in with some more actual facts, not because I care at all what Brink thinks about me, but rather because he took it upon him self in true journalistic fashion to start a trash thread about me, and then once I posted a fair rebuttal, he censored it and deleted it, claiming, I was "lying through my teeth.", without citing you any specifics of course, as to what I was exactly lying about. Because he can't.  Because I was not lying and I believe in full transparency for all.  So Brink, what exactly was I lying about and produce some evidence, full transparency.  I have literally nothing he can ask that I'm not willing to answer straight with a handshake to back it up.  Sorry you all are once again subjected to Brink's personal infatuation with me.  He should really take his issues with me off line, to my face. but he won't because he literally is the definition of a keyboard warrior.

Also to further clear up the record, We as a family did have an amicable split from Bryce's agency, not that any one really cares, this is so boring, everybody is still friends.  These things happen.  People change agents.  This is not even newsworthy.  Brink claims it because I'm a "dick".  Ouch, Brink...I'm so hurt!  Also somebody said they can't believe that I'm destroying Bryce's skating career or something like that.  It's quite the opposite - Bryce now has a giant creativity break from all the agency obligations and asks, nothing against them - it goes with the territory when you're under contracts.  Bryce has that much more time to enjoy her skateboard, surfboard, uke and is currently up at Camp Woodward for girls' week.  So in the future, not that any of you would, but if somebody did have a question about me or my actions, then you could just ask me.  I didn't hire Brink to be my publicist.  He's not doing a very good job at that.  If nothing else, if somebody calls somebody else a liar, we probably shouldn't just take their word for it - its best to do our own research.  Also if the Sketch Hitchcock guy on here is Skitch - you are a legend!

Respectfully,
Max Wettstein
