Eric Machuca Don't know if you do, but I remember having this conversation with you on my patio about 20 yrs ago right before you left to Cali.....But your right bro. All that money these companies are making they should be forced to start taking responsibility in those situations....

Clyde Singleton "hating".. how im a "hater" when i opened up my house, and arms to numerous people over the years through skateboarding..? you got me clearly- fukked up.. heres the truth: you were kicked off Blind, because you had a terrible attitude.. you ran up in World throwing a fit, throwing computers around and threatening people.. after that, you were a known cancer to skateboarding.. no one wanted to sign you.. no one.. so, you tried coming to Aesthetics.. i took into consideration you had a pissy attitude.. no one else wanted you.. so, what good were you to us..? we could've picked up anybody with a attitude, or past like yours.. but, why..? why would anyone..? im sure that was a common thought among skateboarding in general, and thats why your career went the way it did.. you can blame anyone but yourself.. thats fine.. but you know why no one wanted you on their team.. dont play the "man.. they was hating" victim role.. thats pathetic.. even more pathetic- now, you're just viewed as "some dude who follows Clyde around on Facebook".. i know.. life must be rough.. but, hey.. you made your bed.. lay in it.. and, when you do lay in it.. the nightmares of your reality kick in.. as i said- i feel bad for dudes like you.. actually.. no i dont.. i hope you spend the rest of your life being miserable.. solely based on the fact you got to lie, to make your life & stories believable.. this is my last time responding to you.. ill be in Cali in a few months.. you got something to say to me, address me to my face like a man.. i dont Facebook beef.. whatsoever.. and, i really dont have time to be directing any more attention to you..

Henry Sanchez Clyde, once again, you bring up a time in skateboarding when you weren't doing anything but picking up a check. Just look at the footage...the proof is in the pudding. You did nothing and now you're talking, but that talk means nothing coming from such a lazy pile as yourself.

Chris P I don't understand how giving someone who works for you insurance would be consider "welfare". That's just fair. I would have never bought some companies' products if I didn't like the skaters who rode for them. Of course, the pro kooks I hated are the reason why I didn't buy certain products too. The skater is a very important part of marketing for skate companies. So I think they EARNED insurance. And this personal shit is getting mad awkward, man.

Henry Sanchez Clyde, you're the last person that should talk about skating in that period due to the fact you did nothing. Show us one thing you did? You're all talk and that's why you're desperately on some clown shit trying to hang onto the industry for dear life. Homie went to the big brother comedy school but didn't graduate.

Joshua Friedberg Believe it or not, the insurance issue is something that the board at IASC has been thinking about for a long time. The problem has always been that most riders are 1099 employees and legally you can't provide health benefits to independent contractors.
About a year ago IASC began negotiating with Aflac and we were recently approved to begin offering Accident Insurance to our members. Now companies can provide real benefits to their riders for less than $400/yr. We're also creating an individual membership category to make the coverage available to any rider.
It's not "health insurance" but it's a step in the right direction towards solving a real problem in our industry. Full details will begin rolling out next month.
Hit me up before you finish that article.

Chris P It wasn't directed at you, Clyde. That dude use to be one of my favorite pros. It's disappointing cause dude is a grown man talking about "come out to where he lives and say it to his face" on Facebook. 15 year old kids do things like that, man ... You're grown with a kid. Sometimes I wish some pros would just stay in the videos. Stop kookin it up Henry and e-mail him a personal message. This shit is goofy.

Tod Swank Clyde Singleton Yea I know what you mean. I have always tried to help our guys plan and really take advantage of being a pro skateboarder. Earn some money, save, travel and have fun. And start thinking about things you maybe interested in to transition to. But it's hard too sometimes the riders are just in the moment and are not really interested in hearing it all. Regarding health insurance for riders. A long time ago we offered health insurance for our guys. It's a independent insurance plan. Tum Yeto pays a % just like we do for our employees. Been doing that since the 90's.
