WTF. Damn dude. Lsx.. You have issues. I think you need some help and some council. THe guys black, there’s not that many black guys on there so other blacks should be proud that he’s on the team just like guys from The ATL are proud that Sizemore made it. He’s white and from the south, so does that mean tht he’s a crazy ass klansman that can’t be proud to get onto RB cause he’s white or does it just mean that you’re ass is 11 eggs short of a dozen. I’m not white and I have to say that I’m very impressed with the kid, He has a nice solid style and can switch up like crazy. For those of you who made it a really big race thing. Shame on you. Black or white. To say that you’re proud cause he’s a black guy that got sponsored, I don’t see as too big of a deal but to say that the only reason someone saw is cause he’s black is pretty racist. That’s like playing the race card backwards. Bah, Murda, Rachard, Williams,Adams, Andrews, Powell, Thompson, Knight, Minton,Azeekwie… Not even enough to fill up two lines. Those are all your black riders since this sport has started. latino riders there’s a lot more of, but let’s name just a few. Zamora, Aspuraza, Paz, Gonzo, Fabby, Pianowski, Julio, Aries, Fabio, Castro, etc… that’s just from two countries. not even naming all the brazilian, mexican, peurto rican, spainish riders. Stop being such a dick if someone has a little pride in a small group earning one more member.

ok ill be honest i stopped reading after lsx’s second comment so if you posted an anti hate comment then disregaurd. same for neone who said this same thing.

ok first off…i havnt met anyone with the exception of maybe a few people who has a more solid style…are you watching the same reel dude? its true he could prob bend his knees a lil more but saying hes not solid or doesnt have good style says to me your just trying to hate on my boy casue your boy got booted.
there are alot of park clips because yes he does skate alot of park, but also because despite living in atl its aparently hard to actually get a session together other then the park. and not to mention part of the reason for the edit was for woodward.
as for basic jawn…just shut the fuck up huh? you CANT be original nemore. people really needa cut that shit out. everyones like “psh he did a 5 switch up with spins in and out (which richard can do probably) thats so gay he needs to do more solid stuff” and then when you see someone do solid stuff you say” jesus christ this is boring” i mean where does it end.
richard hasnt been skating that long and im sure hell make you eat your words…and that goes to all the haters.
and ya know your makin a big mistake too because i met the dude for a weekend and i got his back for life. and all you negative people wont be able to see or experience this rare all around kind dude because your too self absorbed in bitterness

Once again, who gives a shit about race. No matter what race or country you live in, just skate because you love it.

and let me ask how you can be proud of somethin you did not achieve, but instead randomly born into?

So since you want to talk about people being proud of their race/heritage/color then…. how come if I am proud to be white then I must be part of the KKK or racist how come white people can’t even be proud of their own race anymore yet all the minorties can be proud of their race/heritage/color and express it freely without being called racists but white people have to have pride in their race in secrecy or we are the white devil and don’t worry I’m not trying to turn this into something it’s not I am just asking a question

Harrie. I disagree. I think the best skaters in the industry are white. It’s rare to find skaters that are black that can skate like Murda, Rachard, Bah, Montre, etc… Its once again not about the skin color but just surprised. Every time I see a girl become pro, I’m surprised cause they’re less girls than there are blacks so it must mean that they’re good enough. Stop thinking that there’s anything wrong with my thinking cause if you knew me then you’d know that I only know 4 black guys period and the rest are all different nationalities. I know more Latinos/Hispanics than anyone, then I know a lot of whites, followed by asians then blacks as my friends and as bladers.

When Obedobe got onto Eulogy I was happy for him and surprised cause he’s filipino and that’s great. It’s a great step for other filipino riders to see that. Same as the Yasutoko’s for asian riders. it simply brings people that wouldn’t normally get involved into this sport to really check it out cause they have someone that they have something in common, no matter how big or small it is.

Richard is very talented and I hope he makes something out of this opportunity he’s been given. like make RB actually put out a descent video with all their riders in it. Or maybe just show us how good their new skates are by your skills.

Stop making things worse than they are and simply support the rider, you don’t have to support the company to be happy for the fact that he’s sponsored. That’s a big thing.

Please understand this. our community isn’t about black/white/latino etc… it’s about diversity. Would it be a situation if I was a girl and I said right on Fabby for getting onto Valo? that would be girl power which isn’t anything wrong with simply supporting another girl cause they’re so rare to see. The fact is it’s nice to see guys from ATL and of different colors getting sponsored. It’s needed to bring the community together. You’d be surprised to see what’s written on youtube if you’re a blader from another race. I’ve seen messed up things said in regards to Japanese and asian bladers. Richard I’m sure will make an excellent asset to the RB crew. Yes his style is more grinding than anything else but that’s okay Cause I’m sure his video sections will do well. Hell my favorite skater of all time is Feinberg or Latimer. I used to love watching Chris Edwards crazy ass grinds on vert. Don’t try to make this a race issue when it’s not it’s just I’m happy that he’s on the team. Though I still feel weird about fact that there’s a lot of RB riders that I know that I didn’t see on that little video of them in the woods. Like Katie ketchum. Why wasn’t she in that video. What happened to The Yasutoko’s?
