My personal issues with SR these days

Brian Boston

I got myself banned.
Now, i shouldn't be doing this as an admin, but whatever... but what the hell is wrong with everyone on here...

-Why does everyone on here rip on JD Ben? Half of the kids doing it don't even know why people hate Ben in the first place. Grow up, if you don't like him roll over his posts, stop ruining threads talking shit on him, your making yourself look like a turd trying to be cool ripping him infront of him. You weren't here when it happened, so stop trying to fit in by ripping him. Everyone pretty much dropped it that hated him to begin with. KeWl hAiR, to each his own, i'd love to see half of you kids say that to him in real life. If you saw the Babbon's riding you wouldn't be talking shit on their hair.

-Selling new parts. Why the hell did you buy them in the first place if your just going to resell them for the same exact price? Like, do you get off knowing someone bought a part off of you being the pointless middle man? The only time i see this being OK is around Christmas time for obvious reasons. What a waste of time and shipping.

-Selling parts your sponsor gave you... do i need to explain this? Really? You got it for free, PASS it onto someone that actually needs it, that can't afford to buy it. Your making yourself look like the biggest scumbag doing that. Give it to a skatepark local, you'll look like a hero there, instead of a selfish prick on here that just wants money.

-Little kids buying expensive parts? Im not going deep into this because its a personal thing. I've been around before there was company making parts, so when i see a little kid with every new part a week after they came out, and he can't even double whip, it personally pisses me off. I learned how to lock a folding mech by word of mouth. I learned all of my tricks on a rattle break new a with the bars wobbling back and fourth 5 inches. I earned my first pair of metal cores at XW, along with my buff bars. My buffs are the only after market part on my scooter today. The metal cores were GIVEN away. I hate seeing kids wasting mom and dads money, on the flip side its good for the sport, so i'm not gonna put up a fight about it.

-Pricks thats think your better than everyone else. Get over yourself. Just because your a good rider, doesn't give you the right to talk smack on other people. "Sheit, your clothes are gay asss fuck, stop riding flat, your scooter rattles, look how loose your jeans are." WOW, YOU SOUND FREAKING COOL MAN. Note to everyone, telling people they are losers because they don't follow trends like you doesn't make yourself any better. You might think your so cool trying to make yourself sound better now, but you'll realize in a few years that it doesn't matter. Your parents or teachers probably told you this when you were a young bull, the dorky kid in class everyone talks shit on is probably gonna be your boss one day. They aren't lying, you'll see kiddies, so shut your mouth.

-The fisheye lens comes off of the camera guys. It is an accessory, not a permanent attachment. It is used to get close up angles, helps in tight situations and is handy with lines where you can't film it all from one spot. A long shot looks WAY better, less trendy and alot less risky than filming fisheye. Now guys, there are things called WIDE ANGLE lenses. These work wonders in skateparks and you can zoom with them! OMFG! Do everyone a favor and stop giving us headaches with your effortless steady shot fisheye angles. Theres no proper way to shoot video, it is an art, and filming a whole video fisheye is definitely not art!

-Company hating. You guys realize that companies have just started to form in the past 2 years, and your talking shitt on them already? You think everything goes 100% perfect with new stuff? Open your eyes, stop talking sht. They know about their problems, they don't need to you trendy little sluts telling you their company sucks because of a bad product. Im not hoping on sides here either, i have my personal problems with all of the companies, i don't go hating the people that run them because something didn't go perfect. I won't dip into my personally opinions on them though because THIS IS A GROWING SPORT. Were going to have bumps and curves in the road, stop making them worse by hopping on another guys dickk. AS A PERSONAL OBSERVATION, NO SYMPATHY HERE, JUST POINTING OUT AN EXAMPLE , because you don't like Andrew products, your going to now hate Andrew, his website, and anyone that rides his stuff, then go and open your assholee nice and wide for C4s cockk to stick in? Do you guys have brains? Do you realize how freaking stupid that is?

-Heres another, gonna blend 2 into one because i can relate them. Drugs and Sexual Orientation. You smoke weed, crack, shoot dope, whatever, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. You suck cockk, take it in the butt, or scissor, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. Your drawing attention to yourself that people don't want to know and things people don't like. So what if you smoke weed, do you really need to know who else smokes weed on here and if they are high right now? Do you walk into school and tell everyone in the hallways you just smoked a blunt? Do you walk into school asking every dude if you can blow them? No you don't. Why is this website any different. Actually it doesn't even apply just to this site, you shouldn't be telling people your a fag or dope head in real life. What people don't know won't bother them, and you will be more accepted because people don't know about your choice in life. Why people decide to be flaming faggots is beyond my knowledge, for all you know your best friend could be gay and you don't have a clue, thats the way thing should be. Things that happen behind closed doors stay there whether its drugs or weird sex.

Fuckking kill me, call me Conor, ban me, criticize me, whatever. This website hasn't been enjoyable for the past few months like it used to be. But i know these issues just don't bother me, you guys did enough damage so i look at SR strictly as an admin more than a user. I only look for areas where i feel its only necessary to post. I guess thats a good thing though, and 85% of this websites users should start doing it, maybe there wouldn't be so much BS on here then. I realize i could be contradicting myself to thing i have said in the past, nobody is perfect when it comes to that stuff, so tear me apart. Half the posts i read anymore are JD ben this, or noob that... fuckouttahere

this thread is definately needed, and no, not because you mentioned me, but the fact that this is the truth, i don't disagree with anything in that post

it might sound harsh but if the mods dont want people to post or whatever where it isnt needed, just get rid of the post count, and then people will stop caring about how many posts they have made and there will be no competition, the only thing it's good for is seeing the top 10 biggest post whores (excpet people like Alex and Kenny, who have been on this site for almost 5 years)

but yh, a quality post and thread

Post count would have been long gone if i had FTP access. I can't edit the file to remove it from displaying on the forum since i don't

When I read the part with reselling sponsor parts, wow...couldn't have said it better...
But on the other hand, little kids with expensive parts, you could have skipped it... why do you even bother with them, once life hits them they'll realize few things... if theyr parents can afford it, let them enjoy..it's a win-win situation kinda...

But yeah, another part is the "how to replace this/do that trick"... A scooter isn't really complex, to all the new people, take it apart few times, you'll figure it out...
And for tricks...just figure it out in your brain how to whip/rotate something...the worst thing you can do is buy a kota tricktionary DVD and copy/paste his style... develope your own, that's waht makes you an unique rider and not just another briflip whore...

And about the drugs...it's the internets, people feel mighty behind the keyboard, acting badass, not giving shit about peoples feelings...like I said, it's the internets, not just SR...

But well, drama happenes in every community, it's more a cure than a dissease, once you stop feeding the trolls with drama, they'll get bored and switch to another place...just give it time and it'll sort out by itself...
Remember Batman - The dark Knight? The night is darkest befour the dawn...

Thats why i said its a personal thing, i see it differently since i been around so long, and i probably spent a fraction of the price on just buying new scooters than these kids do buying new parts. Thats one of the points that isn't worth arguing over, thats why i ended it saying its good for the sport.
