Daewon down & out?

[Commercial D]

What's this about Daewon going bankrupt? He must have made millions throughout his career. Goes to show wealth is as vaporous as fame. He's a smart guy--hope to see him bounce back quickly, if he hasn't already.

[grimcity]

I hadn't heard about that... for real?

[mattofallmatts]

Are you talking about DVS going bankrupt? And I don't know about millions....

[able]

Word on the streets is that he got divorced and his x wife took everything. now he's living in his car

[wallieD]

he spent all his money replacing his shredded bushings

[ttching!]

I don't think most pros actually make very much money at the end of the day, but they get paid to skate so its worth it.

[able]

Here's the full story: (sorry to put you on blast there Lenny)

From what ive been told dude got divorced with his lady and she took everything and now he has to sleep in his car, the office, parks, etc. Shit sucks. I didnt think it was true but then in that lizard king fos fm interview he said daewon was sleeping at washington st park and kinda confirms it to me because he didnt wanna talk about his situation. I know theres more to it but ive heard enough guys getting all bummed on his situation to know that its more than just a rumor.

I feel like this video is extremely relevant to this thread.

And I don't know about millions....

He's been a top pro for 20 years now. You don't think he's averaged at least $100k/yr? That alone would be $2m.

No, I don't think he sold enough of these to make 100k per year. That really sucks though man, super nice guy and one of the most dedicated skateboarders. Loyal to a fault. Hope he alright.

[Fongstarr.]

Damn, that is a fucking bummer since I am assuming he is the bread winner in the relationship. Hopefully he didn't cheat or some shit cause he'd probably have to pay child support and alimony as well. That is fucked up. Will gladly buy some Almost product knowing it would help him out. Dude is literally my favorite skater. Always seems humble and just skates how he wants. Feel bad for the guy.

a lot of people who don't skate buy etnies/dvs fat ugly shoes ...plus he's in a lot of tony hawk's game$

[happenstance]

Sucks if true. He is the best skateboarder ever and deserves millions.

If this is true, I almost feel like you used 16 sided slap rumor dice. One with skater's names and another with life outcomes. It's like skate dice, just for fat people.

[1978]

Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks

[cliff]

Ha not true! Daewon doesn't live in his car..he does change his sweaty cloths after skating sometimes..Dude skates more than most people I know!

Man, Dallas isn't fat. He's on that raw food diet shit. His abs are ripped and his nips can cut glass.

I was just channeling my inner COTG that we are all fat. Joke! Good to know we have a hunk on Slap.

[j....soy.....]

Rodney....Rocco....bail this dude out....

[EARL***THE***PEARL]

I hope this is just a silly rumor  Dae is the last dude that deserves to be broke in this industry.

[asakusa75]

This shit is fucking unbelievable. And its ancient.



And this is just insane. Untouchable.

[Skately Posse]

Saw Daewon & his lady walking through the mall a few years back, and she looked like the type who'd take everything.

But dude isn't out by a long shot, he's got another 10 years in him. He'll be back on his feet.

[natenola forever]

he may just be like fuck it gave her the house and doesn't really care about taking the time to get a new one right now. Big divorces are jacked he may have a Lawyer telling him to just lay low and not show too much money till everything is settled. But basically if you're the only person with a job in the household you're getting fucked on a divorce.

[BraveUlysses]

Divorce laws be fucked

THIS! What's happening to Daweon right now happens way more often than it should to other guys. Divorce laws are fucked.
