Sharkmartin/A22 Insta-beef

[Sammm]

Surely I cant be the only one who saw this?

Sharkmartin (Jeff Martin I think?) hates Adam22, got drunk and made an IG post explaining this. Follow 600 comments talking about what BMX is really about, and who's to blame for Stevie Churchill's apparent alcoholism. Fucking lol

I can't work out how to link a post from PC based instagram, but it's this one


instagram.com/sharkmartin, 3rd post in. A lot of dumb kids posting, but if you can be fucked to scroll to the top there's some typical OSS/Adam22 gold

lol, is it bad that upon hearing stevie is an alcoholic i take more of an interest in him as a person/rider?

[Narcoleptic Insomniac]

Why would anyone want their son to receive oral sex from a22?

That's a pretty sick railhop photo/setup though.

[dude...]

hes got a point though. did adam respond?

[dude...]

so annoying all the comments dont load when you open it on the computer (fuckin instagrams optimisation for mobile devices but not pcs), but mad theres some hum dingers. devin feil is at it again too which is good to see, after adam lawyered him down last time he dared to speak out

Alcoholism? Isn't he like 20 or some shit? Don't most people get fucked up around that age? I get how you can not like a blog but I don't get how you can say it ruined bmx. Did MTBr or Pinkbike save mountain biking?

So true about the comments on PC. For fuck's sake how do you fuck up cross-platform accessibility in 2015...

How's things anyway Mr Baker?

I dont really like Adam either. But I just dont read anything he post or follow anything he does anyway, so he has no impact on my world of BMX. People should just stop care, that is was BMX is to me, no caring...

I agree with this. If you don't like Adam, just don't follow him at all. Any press he gets short of something that would ruin him (like child molestation or some shit) just feeds the fire. He is like a Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton of BMX, easy to hate but really fucking good at building his brand.

so what youre saying is we need to buy some kid a scooter in exchange for court testimony?

Ahhh, he's not quite as good at building his 'brand' as you think.

The quicker everyone ignores what he does, the quicker it's all gone.

My thoughts exactly. I'm sure I saw a post by Adam a few months ago saying he was still buying Stevie's beer because he wasn't old enough. I very much doubt Stevie is an alcoholic in the fact that he relies on it otherwise he gets the good ol' shakes, it's just that he drinks a fair bit more than he should given his age. Fuck it, he's young, let him party.

I don't care much for adam/OSS. I check thecomeup maybe once a week because it's nice that most watch-worthy bmx videos are all in one place, but I ignore all the childish shite that comes with it like I imagine most of us (other than Rusty) do too.

That's a point, ol' Rustin, whats your input on Stevie being a liquor fien given you work/ed at OSS or whatever?

Yeah not bad thanks. I started riding again (rarely) after a solid 6 months without. I'm telling myself I'll stick with it this time but I guarantee there will be another hiatus aha/
I might spray my bike this week and post some pictures.
