Dumbfounded that it collectively took until page 3 for one of us to remember/mention Trepasso.

I have to bring up that there’s always been this urban legend involving a letter or press release that you supposedly sent out involving only wanting to skate for a top-tier company like Girl or Alien (as with all urgan legends, details are sketchy). What really happened? Did this letter story actually go down? And if so, what did it say?At a tradeshow, I gave Sluggo my video in hopes of him forwarding it on to Colin, who had just started riding for Girl. That’s the extent of my pursuing Girl as a sponsor. With Alien, there was a time period when I was skating Rob’s TF here in San Diego and I had given him a video as well. But I never sent some letter out to address any of those actions…...the rumor is that I sent a letter saying I’d like to ride for a good company? Wow, that's pretty horrible!So it is false. I gotta admit that I’m not surprised that you debunked this long-held “letter” myth, but I am a little taken aback that you’d never heard of it before. I’ve heard that rumor for well over a decade now. Definitely one with staying power, which is even more remarkable since it is pre-message board era. Nobody ever has ever brought this up to you before or called it to your attention before now?Surprisingly enough, nobody has.Wow… So how do you think this rumor came to be? The more I’ve looked into this, it seems that nobody has actually read the letter itself but everyone pulls out the same quote from it everytime: “recognize the skills.”The “recognize the skills” was something I had said to Dyrdek sarcastically, but I have no idea how it made the transition into a letter format and then taken so literally.[close]

Looking back Staba actually helped him make some OK decisions. SM still had Shane at the time so it was more on the map than mystery IMO, and my theory is that Nike backs SM financially so they were pushing him that way as well. If he had produced he could still be on Nike and maybe have climbed the sponsor ladder to get on April or Primitive
