Tom didn’t run his projects into the ground. He had outstanding circumstances beyond his control (a dieing industry of children who cannot support innovation) This is neither here nor there. Tom is a great guy he has done a lot for the sport. Rollerblade, I admit, fucked over Broscow and the others left but they are working to make a comeback. We need to support our industry not slam it. Back to what you were saying: you are the loser. Come to Atlanta and look me up. We can talk this out. - Cochell - Cochell....CoCo Sanchez? okay, he is your friend and you are going to defend him, I applaud you for that. But it doesn't change the facts. Here is a free lesson... okay, he DID run his projects into the ground first off. Jess D. has had 50/50 since like '94 and he is still making it. I can only speculate at what happened with fiziks, but the bottom line is that it came down to money. And other frame companies made it, so Tom didn't make the right choices. Live and learn, they were good frames. Skatepile...same shit, look at all the other online skateshops that are and have been making it. Just count them, there are several. Rollerblade...Plain and simple, he weazled and back stabbed his way in that one!! no question about it. and then paying dudes like rob and julien more money than dave and jeff...lets get real, playing favorites! and his actions toward richie v....dont get me started lastly, fyi...on people getting "fucked over" When skaters are being paid to promote a product, or go to contests, or skate demos, and they dont' show up, or they show up late, or they show up trashed....well, then they get what is coming to them. The bottom line is this...if you really look at the actions, Tom seems to be more about hooking up his boys and looking cool than getting kids into a dying sport. And that is why people don't like him. waaaannaaabedreedeezieee – post your name, don’t talk shit if you cant put your name behind it. Tom didn’t run his projects into the ground.

Rollerblade probably thought they were cutting back with the new buckle design but it actually seems to be better than one that went all the way back to the TRS Access. As for non replaceable souls though, there's no excuse for that, this isn't 1995, cuffs, souls and most other parts should be replacable.

Everyone knows you're a sell-out piece of shit! Man, I bet Erin harbors bad feelings because her husband is a failure at everything. You sucked at Fiziks (good frames I'll give you) but you couldn't make it work, You couldn't make Skatepile work, so you weazled your way into a side of a company that was being handle much better by your predecessor and then basically kicked him off the team. And then you come out with the "solo" which is basically a dirk, and then you throw powerstraps on the DT5....note to everyone, they won't do shit!! TOM , seriously, you're a LOSER!! Tom,

And even then we the rollerblade community will still hate you for years (even if you choose support) - you need to earn our trust... like a small dog that bits a baby... I would suggest the next time you pay someone to review your skate you do it different... you say something along the lines of: Here is the new skate and you know what - its not as bad as you think... the liner and cuff are not shit like you would expect and give you some support (then show a clip of that same person doing a trick that needs cuff/liner support such as a cab 7 off a big drop)... the soul plate grinds nice (then show them 360 souling a kink)... the backslide grove lines up with the stock frame that you will not ride for more than 30 seconds (and show them back backing a crazy drop rail).... [if the design maintains the need for a power strap which i find hard to believe but if it does say:] this strap makes a difference even though it seems like it would not, it allows the skate to stick to you more on tech tricks (and show a nice ultra fast long true fish on a ledge).... and maybe you wanna show some tech switch up on a handy... but anyway as always i have now lost interest in this comment... if you have read this far... good for you... I'm not going try and say I have reread the crap I have just written... blah blah blah... To Rollerblade (the company)
