Wow, this is why I don't like Koston. Olson actually has an opinion and the guy throws an internet bitch fit. I love that his defense of the berrics is "we work hard". Catholic missionaries and Wall Street lobbyists "work hard", but it doesn't mean they're right. The rest of his response was childish name calling. Spoiled brat and neglecting his career? Homeboy has had two covers in the last year alone.
Allow me to insert a personal anecdote about Olson and Koston. I went to one of the demos at Beauty & the Beast 2, and Olson was the first one out skating while the puddles in the park were still drying. He skated the entire time, was having fun, and even battled a line for a good half hour (the one in the tour video with the bs 360 kickflip at the end). Koston showed up about 45 minutes after the demo started, in a fucking Benz or whatever he drives. I honestly cannot remember one trick he made. I vaguely remember him doing a couple of frontside grinds and signing a few autographs. Job well done.
Now of course Koston is a skating legend who has put his time in, that was just one day. But the guy who talked shit on P-rod for going to Nike....and now rides for Nike, the guy who talked shit on Oakley......and now rides for Oakley, the guy who is notorious for complaining and whining about skate spots, the guy partially responsible for one of the worst things about skating today (berrics), and has raked in piles of cash as a result of all this, has no right to call anyone else spoiled. This is ridiculous.
