Maybe Frank Shaw was just drunk. Maybe it was just a big laugh.

Ah, we do like to have a laugh when we are drunkâŚ
And beat up girls.
There was a post on that @luredbyproskaters Instagram account describing what Frank Shaw had done as described by the victim. As Neddy was saying, it was horrific - verbal and physical abuse which culminated in Frank pissing on his girlfriend to humiliate her.
That post has since been deleted and the Slap thread about it locked: Login There may be some legal action going on.
Frank Shaw isnât massively well known, granted, but he did have a sections in the last couple of Heroin videos. I always think framing these things in terms of âgrowthâ is always problematic, but I think Heroin handled it alright.
Who watches Heroin videos? This has got people all over the world going âWho? Oh well, fuck him!â which probably isnât good for his âgrowthâ.

Some little company like this making a big fuss over kicking off somebody nobodyâs ever heard of doesnât compare to the global distribution of a t-shirt company done by a proven domestic abuser.
I watched the last Heroin video, in which he had last part. The company arenât what they used to be, for sure, but that doesnât mean theyâre irrelevant. I think Heroin had to address this - it sounds like Shaw acknowledged that there was some truth to the allegations and there was already some attention being given to the situation. Itâs not some proactive virtue signalling from Fos, itâs a response to a very bad situation.
Also I totally agree Rip n Dip shouldnât be let off the hook, but that is a separate situation. The allegations against the owner went viral again a few months ago, but dismantling a companyâs years of success is much more difficult than dropping someone from a sponsor.
Yeah, the wife beating stuff gets brought up again and again on Slap. But even from the beginning, the guy they stole the âlogoâ from was clear about what had happened.
But itâs because 12 year-old kids donât know or care about all this boring stuff. Heroin is an old guy company so they should have been a bit clearer about whatâs going on. I guess any company that gives Craig Questions money is a bit suspect anyway though.
If people really wanted to hurt Rip n Dip, I would target the big chain stores like Zumiez etc. that stock them and push them to not support a domestic abuserâs company. I agree, the brand is too big for a viral Instagram post/Slap thread to do too much damage.
Does the brand need to be cancelled? Canât the dickhead involved just be bought out and banished or something?
Itâs a moot point when the people buying it donât care.
And I appreciate itâs helping keep the lights on in otherwise decent shops.
Yeah I mean âcute girlsâ love cats and shit.
Back Questions after Blokes.
Edit: just read LS post. Comment retracted.
questions is the whole reason Iâve not watched Blokes.
I think Iâd enjoy it, otherwise.

I tried. Thought I loved that kind of thing but managed about five minutes. Itâs like a bunch of dudes whoâd have been on a Big Push or in a Death video twenty years ago except theyâre twenty years older and still trying to be absolute madlads for the camera.

Yer that story is wank 
I watched it all the way through. If the guy who made it did the same thing but with good skaters it would be awesome.
