Hey guys,
If you knew how many phone calls I had to answer from PARENTS and shop owners about making sure that we judged by the rules you would understand why that comment was made. Austin knows I wasn’t stealing his thunder by making the comment we did but it was really a matter of sponsoring 4 guys outside of the guidelines or sponsoring one by the rules and 3 outside of the contest… Things have a way of working out! Did you guys not agree with the decision our whole team made within the rules?
As far as Austin not paying his dues. I have known Austin for a long time. Now he has been riding ramp since he was 4 and skating handrails since he was 5. He has been skating 11 years at 15 years old. He did never ride for M1 before this contest.
Now just to put the word out Damien’s contest is going to be a little different!
Thanks for the support,
Wally

Age has nothing to do with paying do’s. Im 16 and not the best skater but i have most people in their twenties beat on paying do’s i have been skating for 9 years. Most people in their twenties haven’t skated long then 4 years. So stfu on paying do’s and this kid deserves it if he is lacing those tricks that isn’t a skill that is instant that is practice so i think he payed his do’s with the hours he has while practicing

so, i hear tyler won it as well? and to be completely honest, it sounds like youre all calling him out on a technicality only because your edits couldnt compare with his level of skating. so he didnt show the wheel, you know what that means? it means he was the only one of you who didnt get duped into doing free advertising for M1. and if M1 wants to sell more wheels, the need a respectable team so they probably wouldt disregard an amazing skater because of something so small.

and im not saying the other edits didnt compare to his level of skating. Nico’s was good and so was Morell’s.

Tyler didn’t follow the rules, first you have to buy some crap, and then you have to skate that same crap, (and be from Miami) before they will say hey, your an AM now.

This is a joke, your wheels are still a joke, and i’m sticking by that one. I’ll enter the Damian contest just to prove your wheels are the same shit as they have ever been, just different colors.

this is bull shit, Tyler Hesler had this contest hands down, so stop being in favor of skating buddies and really support the sport by giving opportunities to skaters that are willing to push the sport and represent rollerblading with a good image.
Tyler is not only a friend, but a fantastic skater, person and a good kid that is not o0ut there getting in trouble and doing drugs like a lot of skaters out there, “if the hat fits please wear it”.

stay tune because you will see more of Tyler in a near future rolling on his new pro frames and more to come.

Dizzy…for the most part you are right but thats what companies do! At least successful ones anyway. We all know the basis of it is to boost their sales but at least their doing something. Too many skate companies don’t do any advertising and most of those are the ones that don’t end up sticking around. Props to M1 and everyone who participated.
