for being gay. And someone else took the blame because Danny was up and coming.


There are companies that had better wood for their riders. Kayo and Zero are boards I've personally seen. They had some boards that were impossible to break, they would just bend and warp like crazy. Compared to the normal boards that were in shops around here, it was day and night.

I heard/read somewhere dway used to shoot at people crossing over the border from Mexico. anyone else heard this?

I guess as soon as you reach a certain level of fame, scientology comes for you. I mean Aaron Kyro (braille) has almost 2.5 million Subs on YT and the berrics (Koston / Berra) are pretty famous aswell. I guess it has nothing to do with the fact that these guys are skateboarders

Ok, I honestly only ever knew Aarron Kyro as the annoying, creepy Scientologist from those YouTube videos where he rides skateboards made of glass or whatever. I never watched any of his previous footage, so I searched the video part that's featured in this Scientology commercial and damn, it's legitimately decent. I had no idea he was that talented.

There's a curse on element skateboards either you are wicked successful or you are cursed and on the way out of your career. Either way Element is fir hasbeen skaters.


Billy Pepper ostracized from skating
Forrest Kirby severe pill addiction and alcoholism
Harold Hunter RIP to the ODB of skating
Muska at his milking it stage joined TMZ debacle
Tosh Townsend killed a girl while wasted
Bam Margera had Really talented shot but blew it on his shows. Edit glad he is skating again but want him on a different team where he fits.
Huston and his dads shenanigans
Appleyard c'mon man Flip and or somewhere else would be a good spot.....
Westgate rips and he is too young to sellout.


Also I believe there's a reason that its insidiously designed to sell your life to Element brand
Look at Terry Kennedy when he got shot not one of his teammate's from element came to see him through?! So what's that say about loyalty...... Baker had his back.

People who have truck sponsors that arent Indy, Thunder, Venture, or Ace dont really ride those trucks. Royal and Silver riders being the main culprits.

Ice Cream skate team was only assembled to get Pharrell's younger brother enough exposure to land a board sponsor.

In all the Girl videos Ty Evans has done the first part is given to the young rider that Mike, Rickk, and Spike wants to push. The 2nd part is Ty lowkey mocking that decision.

This is total conjecture, but remember when Keelan left DGK claiming he was worth more than 200k per year? He put on a stuck up, entitled, ego driven attitude, and this was some time before he and scumbag faced their criminal accusations. What if Kayo knew about his sexual misconduct involvement and they just let him devise an "out" by doing that, and not renewing his contract.

I was just looking it up as my local skate shop/ dealer told me a story how during mid 2000's he was in Austria hanging with friends and it was during his height of success.  He was racing cars and being a goon now heres what I am not sure of if he clipped a gal doing drifting while he was faded or she was in the car. Either way he bounced and fled to Australia and was hiding out for awhile behind Billabong as that's his dads brand.  He faced a fine or some shit but Element found out dropped him from the team. Whuch also goes back to my original perspective is Element is that kinda company that anything bad happens they sweep it under the rug.....

Regarding the Danny Way stuff, please read this to get details straight. This is from the guy who did over ten years and seems bitter toward everyone involved, so it's obvious he's not covering for anyone.

Quote
The early nineties were rife with rumours around what you, Danny Way, Tommy Caudill and the rest of the XYZ crew were getting up to, as you all seemed to run ran pretty wild. The skate rumour mill and things hinted at in Big Brother gave the impression that you were throwing stuff through car windows, shooting at horses, fighting Markovich and some other pretty sketchy shit, was that an accurate representation of you guys at the time?
We were definitely wild kids or young adults. Those are actually the mellower events that took place; however, I don?t remember any horse getting shot? I don?t remember ever hurting animals. The Markovich story was all Danny. Kris hooked up with the chick Danny was going out with at the time (Karen) and supposedly talked shit about Danny. Earlier that day we had tracked down a guy that had broken into Danny?s car and stole his cell phone, wallet and stereo. When we confronted the guy he admitted to stealing Danny?s stuff, but said he sold it, didn?t have any money and that Danny was burnt. The guy basically said ?Fuck you! You aint getting shit.? Instead of Danny beating his ass he pee?d all over himself. I was actually embarrassed for Danny so I beat the dude up. When we got back to XYZ and told Tommy what happened he (Tommy) ridiculed Danny hard. He told him how disgusted he was with Danny and what a pussy he was. So, when the opportunity presented itself to redeem himself by fighting Kris he took it. It didn?t end well for Danny. As far as the other stuff, yeah, we were gnarly vandals. I don?t even remember half the shit we did. Between Danny, Tommy, Colin, Jordan Richter and myself we were always trying to one up each other. For me that crap grew to becoming physically violent. What used to be juvenile bullshit had grown to me becoming a full on criminal. It was a dark path I was on, for sure.
Clearly Steve Mateus and Danny Way were with you that night. Presumably you were all just out for a drink, was there something in particular that got you all fired up?
Yes. While I was in prison I had no access to the internet or gossip sites. I really was in the dark as to what people thought happened. When I paroled I began reading that shit and was floored. There?s rumors that Danny and I were driving around looking to kill somebody; that we got caught with a body in the trunk of a car; that we were shooting illegal aliens crossing the border. All of it beyond ridiculous! I definitely was drunk that night. In those days sobriety wasn?t in the cards. The bar was serving free beer and to a 20 year old drunk free beer is the greatest thing ever.
There are lots of rumours, theories and pure speculation as to what went down and who did what that night outside the bar in Azusa. Could you clear it all up once and for all and give us a detailed breakdown of the night - who exactly was there, what actually happened, why it happened and how drunk/high you guys were at the time?
Here?s the abbreviated version: A bunch of us showed up to this private party at a bar. The only notable skaters there were Ronnie Bertino and Danny. Danny told me that some guy (Keith Ogden) was coming on to him and laughing about it. Keith had obviously wandered into a hornets nest if what Danny said to me was true. So, I walked Keith out of the bar, told him it was a private party and to split or he?s going to get beat up. I didn?t threaten him personally. What?s tolerated now wasn?t in that era and a guy coming on to another guy in a bar that isn?t a gay bar was all bad. Awhile later he came back so I escorted him out again since there was no official security. By that time I was drunk and did threaten him. Still, nothing physical took place. An hour or so goes by and we hear that there?s a fight out front. When I walk out the door the first thing I see is Danny Way out cold, bleeding from the mouth. I asked out loud who hit Danny and Steve Mateus responded with ?That fag sucker punched Danny!? So, we get Danny back inside the bar and he?s clueless as to what happened. A bit later I find out that Keith?s behind the bar so I go out there with the intention of kicking his ass for sucker punching Danny. To me and everybody else in the bar, Keith appeared to be drunk. In reality he was suffering from a pre-existing brain injury. He actually left L.A. County Medical Center (General Hospital) the day before AMA (against Medical Advice). The hematoma on his brain was so large that the doctors were debating whether to drill a hole in his head to relieve the pressure on his brain. Anyway, I began walking Keith away from the bar with the intent to beat his ass. While I was walking away it became quite clear that the guy was in no position to fight. Then this guy Robert comes running up from behind, jumps in the air and kicks Keith in the back. Keith?s head slammed into my face from being kicked into me and even though it wasn?t his fault, all of my anger was directed towards him. I took out that anger on Keith in a physical manner. I kicked him about three to five times in the upper torso and face. Steve Mateus then began kicking him as well. I told Steve to stop, which he did. Keith was definitely fucked up and unconscious, but alive. None of us knew he had this pre-existing brain injury and was dying. We just felt he got KO?d. An hour later the cops show up and what does a skater do when he sees cops? He splits. I didn?t really think anything of it. The next morning I found out that Keith had died. I couldn?t believe it. Once I was arrested three weeks later a lot of stuff came to light. First up, Danny hadn?t gotten sucker punched by Keith. Danny was the one who sucker punched Keith and then some guy in turn punched Danny. Also, after the incident where I kicked Keith behind the bar, Steve Mateus went back out and stomped the life out of him with nobody around to see. Steve was wearing a size 8 Vans shoe that night and left that diamond sole pattern of a Vans shoe on Keith?s face and in blood around Keith?s final resting spot. Vans was my shoe sponsor from 1988 right up till the point of my arrest in 1993. I wore a size 10. There were no size 10 patterns anywhere in the vicinity. The whole thing was a mess. The legal proceedings that followed were a joke. When it comes to the law you get what you pay for and I was broke. My court appointed lawyer was awful. Not only that, but Steve Mateus made a deal with the prosecution for a light sentence (6 years where he only served 3) in exchange for his testimony (lies) against me. The judge railroaded me into a life sentence as well. He should have given the jury the option of manslaughter, which is what this case really was. Instead they had two options: 1st and 2nd degree murder, both carry life sentences. After a day of deliberations the jury came back and wanted to know if they could find me guilty of manslaughter instead of murder. He said ?No!? and they ended up finding me guilty of the lesser of the two charges, 2nd degree murder. I was then sentenced to 15 years to life and shipped off to prison. A month later that same judge (George Trammell) was brought up on some serious corruption charges. Google his name. That?s basically what went down. My actions were definitely criminal. I deserved to do some time; however, 19 years, 1 month and 8 days is a ridiculous amount of time for what I did.
Were the other guys arrested as well?
The only other person that was charged in this case was Steve Mateus. Like I mentioned beforehand, he made a deal with the prosecution. The guy who started it all (Robert) was never arrested or charged. Either was Danny. There was a point in the legal proceeding where Steve Mateus?s attorney started to blame Danny for what happened. I was ready to do an open plea for 30 years to life to pull Danny out of this. My loyalty to Danny was solid and has remained solid since day one. Unfortunately Danny?s caught up in his own world and can?t see beyond what benefits him. To me it?s sad.
Obviously it's pretty much worst case scenario in terms of the outcome, apart from leaving the house at all that night, what are your main regrets from what happened?
I laugh when I hear people say they have no regrets in life. Everybody has regrets. They might not be as big as mine, but they have regrets. My biggest regret was that I took part in taking a man?s life. Even though there were circumstances involved, the bottom line remains; I?m responsible for the loss of Keith. I should have been a man that stepped up and put a stop to what happened. Instead I charged forward. The whole reason I attacked Keith was out of a fucked up sense of loyalty to Danny. I felt like I had to redeem and protect a guy who I viewed as a brother. There is no main regret. There?s a whole bunch!

I heard/read somewhere dway used to shoot at people crossing over the border from Mexico. anyone else heard this?

Again, rumor mill running wild without important details. It was a BB gun. I heard an amazing story from Ron Allen in which Danny told a group of people that he did it, so Ron snatched the BB gun from him and shot him point blank to teach him a lesson.

Bottom line, Danny Way did unforgivable shit as a teenager, but not to the homicidal extent that people here spread around.

Alright I'm going to need some more info on this Tosh incident.

Braydon asked him about it in an interview once.

Szafranski04: Okay Tosh, I hear that you have hit some lady while driving in your car while you were high, is this true? If so, how long do you think you will be in jail because I heard the lady died?

No, I'm not going to jail and I was not high. I was completely sober. However, I was involved in a very unfortunate accident.

Either way he bounced and fled to Australia and was hiding out for awhile behind Billabong as that's his dads brand.  He faced a fine or some shit but Element found out dropped him from the team. Whuch also goes back to my original perspective is Element is that kinda company that anything bad happens they sweep it under the rug.....

Peter Townend was brand director at Rusty surf wear pretty confident he doesn’t own or did own Billabong.

He did hit someone with a car while he was stoned out of his mind, i don't remember if the person died but i think it was a case of that person was also wasted and stepped out in front of the car and Tosh was too stoned to stop in time, he ended up in some trouble for being wasted but wasn't consider at fault for hitting the person.

someone (maybe Dill?) once said that some companies will have their graphics printed on PS Stix for their riders and sell shit wood to the customers.

In the case with alien, I heard their pro models were PS Stix while the team boards were shit wood.

I wonder what fulltechnicalskizzy' s conspiracy website has to say about all this
I did a quick search of high profile skaters but all that came back was that Ryan Scheckler smoked weed with Miley Cyrus in 2005.

I heard that the Maloof brothers started the Money Cup in South Africa as a front to launder money from an underground diamond mining operation but I think I might’ve made that one up also Gino is bisexual

There's a curse on element skateboards either you are wicked successful or you are cursed and on the way out of your career. Either way Element is fir hasbeen skaters.


Billy Pepper ostracized from skating
Forrest Kirby severe pill addiction and alcoholism
Harold Hunter RIP to the ODB of skating
Muska at his milking it stage joined TMZ debacle
Tosh Townsend killed a girl while wasted
Bam Margera had Really talented shot but blew it on his shows. Edit glad he is skating again but want him on a different team where he fits.
Huston and his dads shenanigans
Appleyard c'mon man Flip and or somewhere else would be a good spot.....
Westgate rips and he is too young to sellout.


Also I believe there's a reason that its insidiously designed to sell your life to Element brand
Look at Terry Kennedy when he got shot not one of his teammate's from element came to see him through?! So what's that say about loyalty...... Baker had his back.

Don't forget Toy Machine Donny Barley vs Element Donny Barley

Jesus fucking Fernandez, where the actual fuck is Donny Barley.

I hope Matt Bennet doesn’t go the same way; have a notable trick named after him> decentish pro career> element> watery obscurity.
I'm going to argue that Placebo owes their entire career to a Canadian dude's skate video part. Appleyard should be getting royalties for this shit.

Dave Swift has one of the 2 pair of Indy roller skate trucks that were made at Emerico before Fausto found out lost his shit.

I found a pair at a thrift shop in Montana for 3.50. I couldn't believe my fucking eyes....

Wow, thats incredible!

He skipped the element > watery obscurity part by getting a job at Vans a few years ago.
