Jamie Griffin missing since the batb..

[FrenchSkater]

I think many have noticed but Jamie Griffin has been completely inactive on the networks since his victory during the batb.. What is really going on ? Demotivation by being too much in the competitive spirit ? Too much waiting ? I heard that he was in a depression or something.. If anyone has any info.

Sad to see such a talented guy who seemed to be madly in love disappear like that from the skateboarding world.. I hope the negative comments haven't broken him psychologically..

[GAY]

My first instinct was to reply with a snarky, "who?" but then I realized that might not be very helpful so I decided to just stay quiet.

[SquintinTarantino]

Maybe he's just taking some R&R?

[TwisT]

I heard he also left hopking.... maybe to something super lunar???

[chihuahuadad2000]

Jamie if you see this please send us a message and let us know you’re okay.

[Candied cigarettes]

Let’s just be happy he’s gone and move on with our lives

[Madam, I'm Adam]

I read elsewhere, pretty sure here on slap, that he was slipping into a party lifestyle after BATB and wanted to go to his parents' house and realign his life.

Hopefully he's doing well.

Seeing some responses full of hate is disgusting.. how can you attack a skate because you don't like his style..

[Coastal Fever]

I don’t hate the guy, I wish him nothing but good health and success in life.  I just never want to see him skateboard again.

The internet has a tendency to give people who, otherwise, wouldn't say shit to someone's face the agency to be a semi-anonymous asshole. Slap is no exception.

Why ? ..

That’s like a core tenet of being a skateboarder. At least according to the old dudes on slap. Wait I’m in my thirties now, I am an old dude on slap. Fuck , I gotta go rethink my life .

[TheDraught]

Leave the homeboy in peace and let him be.

It’s the thought that counts.

He seems like a nice dude, hope he’s doing ok

[CossRooper]

Hope he's alright and it's just a social media break or something

[Crust]

Does anyone know why the split between Jamie and Hop King?

Hope Jamie's doing alright. He seems like a lovely fella.

I also massively respect that he doesn't conform his approach to what's core or cool, and totally does his own thing whether on carpet or concrete.

If I was him I'd just go film something while the board is doing what you want it too.

Take too much time off and you gotta rebuild all that. No one is immune

[Shiro417gunpla]

He'll return when the berrics comes back, if they come back

I need to see Berra do a backside flip. Otherwise I just don't care.

Also of the grid needs to comeback. That was the best berries show.

The thought of Jamie griffin partying out because of a batb win is pretty funny, hopefully not true

So long as you film it.

Hop king should be about puking. And screwed up tracks.

[Captain Creampie]

He’s locked in his shed

He would've had to have been really searching to find such negative comments in the sea of praises he gets on Instagram/YouTube.

On the other hand, if he was banking on gaining some more serious sponsors in London/LA and got told something along of the lines of his style of skating wouldn't cut it, especially if by someone he looks up to, then I could see it wounding him pretty deep.

Perhaps he really did just party too hard, in any case I'm sure he'll have a story to tell for his absence.

[Pipe Dreamer]

I could see him on April, shame they can't see it too.

I hope everything works out for him, seeing a guy so in love with skateboarding and above all talented like that sink.. It's scary. Once again I don't understand the relentlessness on his style.. on the contrary, for a skater who is technical, like him, he really has a fluid and clean style I think.. and above all, the regularity in his technical tricks is amazing.

But also, I don't know you noticed, but surprising that he didn't say a single word and no publication on his victory at batb, Maybe something happened that we don't know…

[RoughStylin]

Isn’t he Irish? He’s probably in Ireland

Winter in Ireland

He wouldn't have had to search very far to find a couple comments shitty enough to make him wanna dip out, it's not like this place is skateboarding's skull and bones society....just one google search away
