Obviously there were other reasons for Chris to make his comments and quit other than the comment made by someone talking about do another backflip off a big wave? Am I right? Otherwise if it was only because of what was said on this thread then thats just crazy. Id like to know what someone of people have done to make him say this and act as if people hate what he does, otherwise maybe he just wants to spend all his time filming stunt bikes which seems to be taking off a bit more than freeride. Too bad anyways, hes got some talent to make the pwc industry seem pretty crazy.
ok...let me see if i can clarify...yes it was more than one comment that got me all fired up...if i have gotten bad video reviews, people calling my videos crap to my face, etc...i am used to stuff like that...i was already in a foul mood and unfortunately mark44 took the brunt of it right then...
i need to take a step back...for many different reasons. the filming for ITB was not going the way i wanted it...same locations, shots, faces, etc just seemed stale to me..the addiction all over again...c'mon, that would be boring...i want to do a whole lot more than just a sequel.
and the scene has changed...tremendously. there are alot more people, alot good, some not so good. but you know what they say, "a few bad apples..."
i am trying to sort out who the bad apples are in my life right now...
there is a very palpable feeling of negativity floating around. more people are coming to the freerides...but i have noticed at the ones i was at this year that more cliques are kind of keeping to themselves...hence the worm walk at allatoona, to try and get everyone to come together and mingle, meet, and grow...
i feel like some people are losing sight of what got them started down this road we have all gone down...
thank you everyone for the kind words, and the encouragement...it really means alot to me...
and yes, i film streetbikes...but also freestyle motocross...ama, bmx, all kinds of stuff...i have always been spastic when it comes to shooting...keeps me from getting bored...but it is not the reason i would walk away from one genre or another...
