2024.04.11 16:56 naut Rob Dyrdek demonstrates how to *safely* walk through glass
submitted by naut to InvisibleDoors [link] [comments]2024.04.09 05:30 tjhasadeathwish About me, if you'll even bother reading it.
Well, we'll start with the basics. I'm young, stupid, and talentless. Dropped out of high school in sophomore year and continued the 9-5 that made my situation worse at full availability. This was all during covid by the way. Lockdown was lifted by the time I was a sophomore.
Growing up, I remember watching Rob Dyrdek and Big Black's MTV show where they had this giant ass indoor skate park, and a bulldog or two. And something about a guy crawling through a giant tiger's rectum? Whatever. Point is, Rob Dyrdek was my very first skateboarding idol between the ages of 7-12. This was followed by me playing the (skate.) videogames throughout my entire childhood, even up to this day. Kinda led to me discovering more skateboarding legends, like PJ Ladd, Pat Duffy, Lizard King, Danny Way, Jason Dill, Paul Rodriguez, and more that I can't seem to remember the names of.
Being the age that I was, exposed to ancient skate brands, has kinda had a nostalgic affect on me. DC, DVS, Osiris, Emerica, éS, Etnies, Globe. Not really a big fan of Nike, Vans, or anything else that has been kinda taken over by mainstream pop culture. Guess I'm just not a corporate kinda guy. So, you'll probably only see me wearing the merchandise of those brands I've listed. Never grew up in the 80's, but I'll also never let it go.
Fast forward back to current time. As it flew by, I was learning. I had friends in school who were skating, and figured they could teach me everything I need to know. Now I'm the one teaching them somehow. Anyways, this segment was supposed to be about how much skateboarding media I was exposed to in the meantime. Full length skate videos, documentaries, movies that I still have yet to watch, like Mid 90's. My favorite full length skate vid probably has to be "Deep Fried 'Pescado'". Second to that, Baker 3. Bangers, all of em. All of this eventually led to more inspiration and drove me to the stage of wanting to become a pro.
My favorite skate teams/brands gotta be Anti-Hero, Alien Workshop, Krooked, Blind, Independent, Shorty's, Thunder, Spitfire, Baker, Chocolate, Enjoi, and Bones. Alien Workshop mostly because of Rob, same thing with DC.
Favorite music genres consists mostly of Thrash Metal (example: Testament, Slayer, SYL) Hard Rock (example: RATM, Kid Rock), Nu Metal (example: Snot, Saliva), and some rap here and there, for example, something like A Tribe Called Quest.
Now, I'm just trying to figure shit out on my dangerous and grueling journey to becoming a pro skateboarder. Figured I should post my progress on social media, and try to help others while they help me.
P.S, guess I should've started by saying I first began learning during the summer of '23. Yeah, I've come quite a distance since then. I think.

2024.04.04 16:59 ThePopeBTW On day 7. Sharing what has helped me in the post description.
I now see how blatant the media is trying to get to our primate brain to get clicks.. I for some reason had "5 minute crafts" followed on Facebook and they had a half naked chick every single time as the first picture of the story. What does a half naked chick have to do with different ways to use rubberbands? (don't answer that..)
I have went through and blocked those, now blocked tmz, and what else I have found is the ads while scrolling through Facebook, the ones where it's obviously triggering, I click "not interested" in the top right of the ad. I see wayyy less triggering ads now. If they try to sneak one in, I report it as sexually inappropriate too so that way they think I'm some prude and realize to stop showing me it. I blocked out some of the photo so that way it doesn't trigger anyone else..
Good luck out there boys and gals! Stay strong! 💪🏼

2024.03.19 21:44 TradeGopher Is THIS Mullen's Board Member Mark Betor?!
 | Strap in folks, this one's wild. submitted by TradeGopher to Muln [link] [comments] tl;dr: JESUS! There have been rumours swirling that former police officer turned real-estate guy and now EV board of director member Mark Betor may have had a questionable past as a police officer in California. Betor has been working with Mullen in some capacity since 2018 so I decided to take a look into the news based on a lead and discovered an Officer Mark Betor of Huntington Park police department -which is located approx 10 miles from Mullen's listed address for board member Mark Betor. Officer Mark Betor is accused of fraudAccording to an LA Times article from Aug 21, 1986, an Officer Mark Betor did the following:An allegedly forged cheque for the Bicycle Club (gambling facility) We find that an off-duty officer Mark Betor allegedly attempted to cash a forged cheque at the casino but that the staff there refused to cash it. Noone ever arrested The article goes on to explain that this Officer Betor likely had a gambling addiction and that the police chief was concerned about the kinds of people Officer Betor was associating with: ... \"screwing up his life\" by gambling.... also concerned about the kinds of people Betor was associating with. The article details how the event took place and cites Simonoff's report on the incident: Yikes! Officer Betor of course denied everything and detailed it as a smear campaign. It's important to note the Huntington Park police environment at the time of all of this given it was almost 38 years ago: #1 for police brutality - 30 Claims of police brutality with 14 lawsuits In another LA Times article, the issue of sexism within the police department was raised as the only female police officer, Victoria Kuhn, was terminated and would sue the police force relying on the testimony of the chief's secretary Sharon Francis. And who would show up in that article? You don't have to guess: No girls allowed! In June 1987, almost a year later, Police Chief Contessotto would end up being fired for his handling of the police force. The LA Times would write another article on the events and would reference an Officer Betor's behavior in the article: Officer Betor isn't arrested. The later-fired police chief would go on to assign Officer Betor to patrol a gambling facility and then revoked the decision 5 days later Along with this were allegations that some officers conspired to rob/murder someone at the time which city councillor (mayor) Hennes started investigating: \"if necessary.. 'take him out'\" It's important to note that in the initial article, Officer Mark Betor is listed as being age 31 in 1986. Betor, 31 Compare this to the latest Mullen 10K filing: Mark Betor, 68 If Mark Betor was 31 in 1986, that would make him 68 years old in 2023. Pretty big coincidence if not the same person. All of this paints an interesting picture of the established behavior of someone in a position of authority in an environment without self-restraint leading to being the #1 department for police brutality. So where does this fit in with the Mullen story if this is the same Mark Betor? Let's fast-forward to 2020. A Mark Betor Almost Beats a Lawyer to DeathIn 2020, a civil case was launched against a Mark Betor who resided in Orange County, less than 20 miles from the current listed address of the Mullen director with the same name.Case No 30-2020-01140480-CU-NP-CJC In this case, on March 12, 2020 the plaintiff alleges that a Mark Betor entered his law firm with two others and demanded money from a settlement owed to someone Betor lent money to. When the lawyer refused, Mark Betor savagely attacked the lawyer. \"I'm going to f..cking kill you\" The accounts by the plaintiff are horrific: \"... threatening to kill him, his wife and his children, to rape each in turn and then kill them.\" The case was set to go to trial on May 31st, 2022 but on January 27, 2022 the case was declared settled. 13 days before that settlement was declared, Mullen Director Mark Betor would sign a promissory note to Mullen Automotive for $1,000,000 where he would receive $150,000 in interest by April 10, 2022. This note and it's annualized 60% interest has been written about in this reddit post if you would like more information. Now of course, this could be another Mark Betor in the same location as Mullen Director Mark Betor though when you click through some legal resources to find additional cases pertaining to the Mark Betor you get: Seven Arts Music Inc? Sounds familiar... Another promissory note.. The Seven Arts Music Inc lawsuit was case# BC501995 and moved to 13k10445. Ghosts of Michery's PastWhen we pull the incorporation info for Seven Arts Music Inc we get:Seven Arts Entertainment Inc! It's SAPX! It's SAPX! For those who don't know, SAPX acquired the music assets of David Michery in 2012 as per this press release and Michery would go on to be appointed CEO: David Michery - Seven Arts Music CEO So Mark Betor was sued for breach of contract in 2013 after David Michery was made CEO of SAM in 2012 (it's worth noting that SAPX's Peter Hoffman would end up being indicted for conspiracy and wire fraud in 2014) Now of course, nothing about this relationship is disclosed in Mark Betor's profile info on the Mullen 10K: Just an ordinary retired cop into real estate and business ConclusionMany shareholders have been led to believe that Mark Betor is simply a retired police officer, business man and real-estate guy who was picked up by Michery to assist on the Mullen Automotive board of directors. When we dig into Betor's past, however, we find instances of a person operating in that same area, with the same age, who took part in David Michery's past ventures (and was sued) and may or may not have a criminal record.Shareholders have every reason to ask about the relationship between Mark Betor and David Michery as it was never disclosed, and they're right to want answers about why someone like this is on the Mullen board of directors. Paths for Future ResearchIt may be in shareholder interests to explore criminal background checks on all board and executive members of Mullen Automotive as there is indication that there could be criminal records for members.Curious research: In doing this digging I discovered that Mary Winter also sued SAPX (case # 13504323) and interestingly there is what appears to be a 2009 landlord lawsuit against David Michery and an Erendira Winter (?) regarding a 2 bedroom house (Alicia and Mary Winter would have been approx 19 and 17 respectively at the time). No position. |

2024.02.21 16:36 JoinedToFindOutAbout What was the goofiest trend, personality or company in skateboarding that you liked when you were a kid? [45YO]
I love thinking about how much skate foolishness has come and gone over the years and how, no matter how much certain people freak out as if some of that stuff is gonna “ruin” skateboarding, it never does. And looking back on it is usually pretty hilarious. I started skating in the late 80s, at the tail end of a peak in skate kookery, so in 5th grade I looked like a complete bozo in head to toe Vision Street Wear from Marshalls but it seems like the early-mid 2000s was when skate goofiness was at it’s most extreme. I know a lot of the younger older skaters I skate with have some pretty amazing photos of themselves looking like little Rob Dyrdeks. Any Kasperholics? Did anyone have a tail devil or some Kreper trucks? Also super interested in the kook stuff that was before my time.

2024.01.22 11:03 wooksofresh Please help me figure this out. Question Below.
I created a famous meme hashtag (#wolfonthatnecklace) on instagram that at one point I had over 500 videos posted into the hashtag, one of the videos from the hashtag was on that show Ridiculousness but they violated my intellectual property rights by getting the video from someone that was posing as me so that person got paid $200 and got their name shouted out on the show and now Rob Dyrdek, MTV, nor Ridiculousness will respond to any of my posts that I tag them in or any tweets or anything. I tagged all three of them in the comments on one post about 150 times in a 3-4 hour time frame using 7 different accounts but they're ignoring me. I don't know what episode I was on but a numerous amount of my instagram fans/friends have told me they saw one of #wolfonthatnecklace videos on there including @floridamanwild ("Gumgang"). I just wanted to know which episode I was on so I could watch it but it feels like they don't want me to know because they think thatI'ma use it to get "famous" so they're gatekeeping but I was already famous and I fell off on purpose because I didn't want the fame. I just want to watch the episode but now I'm afraid that Rob Dyrdek and Ridiculousness has gone back into the episode history on their website and either removed the episode from the collection of episodes or they cut it out of the episode I was on. Do I have any recourse?
