I post shit on his Vital account all the time for two reasons... Reason #1, I am an ass hole and this is the internet. Reason #2, He knows that I'm not selling any of my shit to him. But I like to make sure that he knows I have it (see reason #1). He is just trying to flip the switch on me because he knows I am calling him out on the truth and is being overly defensive (see the 322 paragraphs a few posts above for reference).
But once again for reiteration, the fact that he tries to flip used parts to make a profit is not really a big deal to me, but yes I think it's lame and will openly admit it. The fact that he lies about stuff to try to get people to give him a better deal on parts, that is where I start to drawl the line. And when he flat out breaks a young kids heart who was expecting a new bike to be sent to the kid only to delete his IG account and ignore all communication... I think we can both agree that is pretty far over the line. And he did it all in the name of hyping up his "company".
You and I have been on BMX forums since the 90's, correct? You know how it is. When somebody is shady, you call them out on their shit. And you've been around long enough that I have respect for your opinions enough to warrant an actual reply to my actions. Like I said, I know it makes me look hella douchey calling this dude out all over hell. But it's not even a fraction of the level of douche that is Robinson79/Mike Henri.
About the only thing that the dude could do to shut me up and change my opinion is to show some pictures of all of these local kids he has been "sponsoring" and selling all of the used parts to. I used to live in North Austin and frequented all of the skateparks on that side of town. It is funny to me that all of my friends who still live there, even the ones who live in the dude's hometown of Leander, haven't seen any kids with any of the used parts he is selling. "Like I said, I sponsor kids who ride hard with good full chromo gear, and I'm a good person for helping them out." You know what is next.... PICS OR GTFO!!!!!
But for real, let's Michael Jackson knife fight.
