Somebody commented that his mug is empty and I think they might be right.

The mini ramp on the roof is pretty sick, and generally it all felt pretty wholesome. I’m a sucker for house tour videos. What makes it odd is that there’s no other reference point of a UK skateboarder living in a probably £4 million+ flat

If it was someone like Nyjah or Tony, we wouldn’t blink at them living in a multi million pound house because they’re the top 1%, the outliers, plus they’re American.

Digging the hair inspo. He’s definitely biting the Welsh vampire of professional snookers barnet. Ray Reardon forever :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

But where’s the fun in that?

I have nothing bad to say about this episode because there was next to nothing in it. It seemed bizarrely contentless.

I think the major flaw in the shows story is that there is no real reason, jeopardy or consequences if the show gets made or not.

What are the audience rooting for? It’s just another whim in a life full of them (artist, skateboard business owner, fashion, ect). Of course he already had a pitch meeting set up, of course it then gets commissioned after the very first shambolic (20min?) meeting and they’re ready to throw 380k at it because that’s the world he is from.
Why would he fall at the first or any hurdle? Why would there be any adversity to over come in getting it made? Why do we the viewer care?
Oh no wait, he’s blown a lot of his budget on an antique fire place on another whim, without a care for his show and it tells us the viewer how much money really means/doesn’t matter to him. Plus 69 is a rude, funny number right?

I had to Google whether he was actually an artist for a bit cos I wasn’t sure if I’d made that up but yeah forgot about that fad haha. Rich people can do whatever the fuck they want innit

His handwriting annoys me.

I also don’t really get what’s being achieved with this show? It’s only being released on Youtube? ~25k views for all three episodes combined? Can only assume that this is some kind of massive tax write off for someone :joy:

I wonder if there’s any truth to the rumour I heard about the reason for him leaving Palace.
It was discussed here, right?

Still haven’t and won’t watch any of this but the hubris levels seem to line up with the Palace/Thames tale.

If it was, I missed this. Spill the tea, as the chronically online say.

That kind of feels like what might have happened with this series. He was denied by the BBC/whichever media company, so he tried making it on his own out of a sort of pig headed spite.

Well if he’s got the means to do it, and it’s what he enjoys, he can do what he wants. I don’t personally think it stands a chance of getting any further because it’s very boring and self absorbed but who knows…maybe I’m just not getting it. Wouldn’t be the first time and won’t be the last :smiley:

He had a go , got to about gcse/A-level standards and thought that was enough especially surrounded by his dads art connections . As you said , got the money - try it out .

I certainly would, the freedom of time and budget is a wonderful gift. Unfortunately it’s given to some people that can’t utilise it well enough to create art.
That’s probably why I have to have a day job, keep me in my rightful place.

Its not The Room levels of unaware cringe but its hardly going to win any Baftas.

Its weird and selfindulgent but to be fair when you compare his non skate vanity project/career tangent with Jereme Rogers’ its the Sistine Chapel.

I do think he has a genuinely lovely relationship with his family, especially his kids. He isn’t an uncaring, rich prick type of dad.
