A lot of you have been hitting me up lately, asking what's happening with YouWillSoon. In the last few years, the main focus of the site was to call out what I perceived to be bullshit in the skateboard industry. Over the years, as the site grew in popularity, I got to know some of the people I had previously slandered on the site. One of those people in particular was Steve Berra.
Steve and I have maintained a heated back and forth for a couple of years now. Last month, after a long chat with Steve, hashing things out, I actually went down to meet with him and spend some time at The Berrics. After seeing what actually goes on there, what it means to people, and what they do for skateboarding, I'm afraid I have to admit that I was wrong about them. They are trying to promote skateboarding in a positive way, and I feel that I should be doing the same. I'm not going to erase my negative past, what's done is done, but moving forward, I will no longer be maintaining youwillsoon.com. I'll leave the site up as a record, but will not be changing the tone of it or posting in the future. I'm older, and it's time to start acting like a man. A positive man.
I don't want to tell you how to live your life, but I will suggest leading by example. Actions speak louder than words. Please take a good look in the mirror and be the person you want to be.
(EDIT: This post is actually just a prank that my friend pulled on me after I left my Slap account logged in at work. Please keep reading before you think I would ever be friends with Steve Berra, that friggin turd.)
