Wills a cool dude, I remember him coming out to a few sessions when I was in qc skating with Casey and Simon.

The guy is taking a risk investing money in blading, not a huge turn around there. Not sure I can agree with you there.

Not supporting skate boarding, biking or rollerblading gets nothing done. We all use the same skate parks. There are punks in all walks of life but some guy making good jeans and making money a couple thousand miles a way has nothing to do with some redneck skateboarders in your town. Also Brian Krans has been making mountains out of mole hills ever since he got a degree and couldn’t find a job.

I finished the article. After much insinuation, Brian sort of kind of maybe relents from unfairly targeting BP…and then says he won’t support them as a company anymore. That’s an interesting conclusion to come to if you have nothing against the company.

For those of you who don’t want to “support anything that has to do with skateboarding” you should probably avoid skateparks, bearings, Eulogy, Chris Haffey, Dave Lang or anyone else riding a mega-ramp, Powerslide, etc. It’ll be a good day when rollerblading’s collective butt finally stops hurting from being so unfairly bullied & picked on by those mean skateboarders.

You want to support rollerblading companies? Buy from things like Bulletprufe so they don’t have to market elsewhere. In the meantime, show some support for a man doing his best in lean times.

Reading these comments, it doesn’t seem like many of you finished reading the entire article.

Geeeeeze chill out, pretty obvious/clear bp had nothing to do with the beating. Brian said he felt like a dick already in the article, so why go this far? Personally I dont support anything that has to do with skateboarding so with that I understand Brian. Either way selling to all markets is the best business decision and we get it.

I think all this guy want it to know is were this company stood on. I know is not all skateboarders doing this crap but believe me one person does shit and everybody who follows pays for it. I don’t want to support an industry that doesn’t show any support for my cause.

Brian,

Your ignorance is unbelievable. Best of Luck to you Will in your endeavors. Make money from the streamline groups and continue to support the inline community when it shows no positive ROI.

If you are going to link a skate jean maker widening their sales audience with assault, maybe you are the one who should have got his ass kicked?

Bulletproof had been sponsoring other sports from the beginning and everyone that they either sponsored or gave freebies to knows that.
The fact you went out your way to use your friends assault to get people to this pathetic site, well in one way it worked, in another it pretty paints what a piece of shit you are.

Your skill at drawing a long bow on your blog should have you working for Fox news in a few months.

First off, right on Will for bettering the life of his family. Children are our message to a place in time that we will never see.

Second, you need to ask this question and only this question.
Q1- Will what makes you get out of bed every morning?
My answer–to build a legacy that can and will be passed to my children. If Will has a similar answer than who gives a shit where he sells his jeans… His mission is not your business! In fact, if you want to protest then just do what every other human does and don’t buy their jeans.

Third and final statement, I’m sorry for your friends and their unfortunate encounter with assholes. But that has little to do with skateboarding and absolutely nothing to do with Will. My guess is you are against guns because they kill people!?!? Right? Or are you able to see that some jackass makes their own choice regardless of their cause. I’ve never in my 35 years had an enemy that skateboards… But I’ve also never written a ridiculous article blaming a sport or a company for all my misfortunes. If I were Will… I’d sue you for slander. But something tells me Will cares more about green and growing than ripe and rotting.

Fuck the Bulletprufe part of this, is something being pursued legally for Rob? Those fucks need to be jailed for this. Seriously, It might even fall under attempted manslaughter. I don’t give a fuck about drama, the bottom line is a homie was assaulted with a weapon. Is there someone I can contact to make sure this is carried through with?
