Provost?! Or Jarne?
Jarne. I’m only mentioning it as he had that Free interview a year or so ago when he talked about it, right?
Talked about what? Messaging fucking 15 year olds. Stinking fuck man.
Weirdly, Toy Machine literally just posted this
That’s a pleasnt sign-off from Toy Machine, fair play.
This is the first I’ve heard of it, but he had been with Toy Machine for 15 years or so, so definitely time to see what else is out there. The odd thing for me is that even though he’s been the longest serving team rider other than Ed T, I still don’t associate him with Toy Machine like I would Maldonado, Jamie Thomas, Muska, Bam, BA, Kerry Getz or Elissa Steamer, all of whom were only there for a few years each.
That’s because it’s been shit since then.
Funny, I wouldnt associate Bam or Muska with Toy at all - partly cos their stint in the team was before my time but mostly cos they didn’t become ‘Bam’ or ‘The Muska’ until after they left.
I didn’t mind Good and Evil, Jonny Laytons part was decent
Diego Buchierri as well.
Still have lots of love for Nick Trapasso in Suffer the Joy
One of the all time classics
I know right, kronenbourg?
What he did was gross but hope he gets the professional help he needs right now. Someone with serious addiction issues having his career suddenly implode is a recipe for disaster as that IG hints at
Totally. Hitting on minors is shitbag behaviour but someone with a history of serious alcoholism flaunting their return to drinking like that is really sad to see.
What happened to Trapasso?
Quit Toy to start Life Extension, lost his Cons deal and just sort of piled out. Heard stories is was a total dickhead too
He was a bit of a “party guy” iirc
I’m glad you said that - without even delving into this it’s clear that addiction issues + the justifiable fall out from this appalling shit is a recipe for self harm.
And I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
