I purchased SR with several stocks loaned over from WEE Scooters. Madis then used the profits to run some new projects that are actually sponsoring a support group in California thats pushing the sport into this years X-Games.
Two months ago Little Steve actually committed suicide after being disowned by the community. He was found with an hv30 jammed down the back of his mouth, thus causing him to choke to death. There was actually a memorial for a little while on Skate Perception, but that was just a rumor.
Matt Dibble lost like 40 pounds and sold all his old clothing in some thread in the merchant section. The funds went towards bribing Andrew to delete all the post whores on SR. Sadly he was only looking at post counts and accidentally deleted more then half of the original mods/admins on the site. Soon afterwords Matt, Rob and an odd user who goes by "Milk Man" became the new mods. A small investigation was started by a few members on SR. They had reason to believe Matt had actually planned for the mods/admins to be deleted by Andrew by mistake so he could become mod. This hasn't been proven yet.
Soon after the new mods took control a troll war had broke out against Skate Perception. Members started protesting against the war and wanted someone to take action. Then out of nowhere Brian Boston proposed that the members tried to escape the hell of SP by starting a new community. That's when Ridewire was born. A large group of members then followed Brian out of SR as the trolls continued to rip the community apart.
Now all that's left is a bunch of 12-15 year old's with ego's bigger then the bars they ride on.
Welcome back.
