Your video was sick but the end was totally unnecessary. Do me a favor and put a video up WITHOUT that in it or I'm gonna have to take it down. If you knew that was in there you shouldn't have let it be posted at all so you are just as responsible.
I'm really REALLY over all this BS drama and I'm trying to get this place cleaned up. Twan and Nooner are banned for a week and you will be too after I hear back from you to keep things fair. I'm also tired of everyone making threats to fight over this and that stupid petty BS especially at the SD comp. If ANYONE so much as looks at each other funny I'm going to disqualify them and have them kicked out of the park. This --- is just getting ridiculous, I mean I am even getting threats from Stan of all people and I don't even talk to anyone... !?!? I seriously don't even know what the hell is going on but I am tired of it.
If it was your buddies that put that in your video then fine, please just correct the problem so I don't have to deal with it.
Thanks, Andrew
P.S. - Thanks for the product rep but I'm still waiting on my hundred grand before I can make any payouts.
Dude, It's not even that serious. I didn't blatantly call anyone out or use anyone's name. Taking the video off is completely unnecessary. I don't know how to edit and I can't change the video cause I'm back in Arizona. I wouldn't change it even if I could.
As for the competition. you wanting to kick people out for looking at another person strangly is completetly ridiculous. Just cause you help out with putting together a competition doesn't mean you have the right to become a tyrant and kick people out cause it makes you uneasy. This whole website has gone to hell cause all of you try to censure everything and go on power trips. The reason why there are so many little kids or "noobs" causing problems is because they are the only ones who are still used to there mommies telling them not to say --- or --- or make fun of someone.
I backed this website and you guys up even when everyone was talking --- but after this incident, I have to agree that this website is WORTHLESS. You wont see me at the SD comp cause that park is beat up, has no flow, and the street section is made for midgets and 5 year olds. I quit going to comps for the most part cause that isn't my style of riding. But even if I did go, I wouldn't pay attention to your "rules." All you own is a website. That doesn't give you any right to tell me or anyone else what to do. Rivalries between teams isn't a bad thing at all. You and the moderators can't try and babysit the entire sport.
I did nothing against the website rules and even tried to be nice towards twan when he said all that ---. So --- banning me for a week, ban me forever.
All you guys are way too fragile when it comes to reality. I'll ask permission to come back if things ever get back to the way they were before.

P.S. I think you should start up a "Clips 5" thread cause Clips 4 is way too large of a thread and it intimidates me.
Loyal Subject,
You have pled your case and honestly, I agree. I did not find your video to be offensive although I did find it immature that it was posted purposely to stir up kids who you know take things like that seriously so TO BE FAIR I was going to ban all parties involved with the conflict, not you specifically. Now there are a few things I need to explain to you:
1) I do not own a website. I own "The Scooter Resource", a business registered in the city of Vista, CA. I have a business bank account, a shop and I pay taxes. This is not just a website, this is my income and my life.
2) I am trying to build up a community that is able to sustain a REAL mainstream sport not an OG forum. SR is my marketing tool to help the sport expand so when people come on here and badmouth it or start conflicts it makes my site look bad which in turn makes me look bad which does not make me happy nor does it help the sport.
3) Your logic about "noobs" makes no sense at all. They are not the problem, in fact they are the best thing that happened and is happening to this sport. The noobs show us that the sport is growing. The problem is the people who have been around awhile who think seniority allows them to do and say whatever they feel which ends up deterring the future riders of our sport (the "noobs").
4) WE are not the future of this sport Addy, the little kids are so get used to it. The new rules are here to help them, not us. I am not trying to babysit an entire sport, I am trying to babysit the babies of the sport so we have a future.
5) Nothing makes me uneasy. People getting kicked out of the comp for "looking at each other funny" was an exaggeration but if people start brawling in front of little kids, their parents and friends and family at a scooter competition they will be gone in a heartbeat. Not only will that ruin the image of OUR sport as a whole but it will kill the mood of the comp and make all my effort WORTHLESS.
6) I am not "helping" with this comp, I am organizing the whole thing with the park director.
7) Rivalries between teams are a very good thing as long as they aren't acting like a bunch of dumb jocks trying to "duke it out".
8 ) Who exactly are you agreeing with about my site being "worthless"? I don't know a single person who feels that way without some kind of affiliation to Team Razor. I think you guys are just on a totally different game plan over there, although I still haven't exactly figured out what it is. I have a lot of respect for you Addy, in fact probably more than anyone else over there so I hope you can stay reasonable.
9) The SD park is about 75% redesigned from when you saw it last and it is probably one of the best scooter parks in the SW. Still no street though, sorry.
10) Things will never be the way they used to be because the sport is too big for that OG community anymore.

P.S. - Feel free to make a Clips 5 thread. Just make sure you don't make a Clips 6 or 7 until Clips 5 gets to at least 137 pages or that might be breaking some kind of rule.
