Are you going to threaten me on the net (weak!) or actually come up with a good retort as to why S9 doesn't own your pathetic existence? Because quite frankly, I've been owning you post after post. You haven't made a damn bit of sense yet. Do you think people are asking you
"DaBoarder. what the #### are you talking about?!" because anything you've said has made sense?
In your scenario of a perfect world, no one could sustain themselves selling just boards, lest they become "sell outs." Think about this, Brian from Earthwing just quit his day job this year after making boards for 9 years! That's almost a decade! So what, now he's going to be a sell out too because he wants to expand and be successful, live the dream and make boards for a living? I think it's every small time board builders dream to have a business solely based on skating and be able to reap a living from it. People like you who think they are part of some exclusive community pour poison in peoples ears about any company that has expanded and become self sustaining. S9 was one of the first, so naturally in your eyes, they suck right? Forget about the money they've put back into skating. The sponsorships, the swag to give away at contests. Allowing skaters to be sponsored and skate for a living. Yup, forget all that, all that matters is that you met them at a trade show and decided they were "degenerates." The joke is, you've said it multiple times and haven't even said why they are degenerates! With the mouth on you and the name calling and now threats, guess what? YOU look like the degenerate here, not them fool! By the way what have you done to grow the scene? Blabbed your ridiculous mouth on the net? You have a childish BS jealous view of the world. Instead of spreading stoke you kill it! Instead of looking at a company that has longevity and makes a quality product, you get all caught up in what logo is on the deck or wheel. Are you so ignorant that you don't realize that even ABEC 11 gets their wheels poured by the same factory as S9 (AEND)? So is Chris Chaput a sellout too now?
Seriously, you are a narrow minded fool. Just quit skating now, the sport doesn't need people like you. You call S9 a sell out, guess what, you're the sell out. You've bought into the idea that you are very underground and that companies like S9 are on the brink of making your very underground non conformist hobby main stream, oh nooos! You wanna know how to be a non conformist? Just wear the same clothes and listen to the same music as the other non conformists.
p.s. Like you'd ever even think about coming to my home state to threaten me to my face. Ha! I almost pissed myself laughing when I read that! I'm 10 minutes from Trenton, you let me know when you're in town punchy. =D
