BoomChristopher yeah dude i loved Snyder's part when I was younger. One of my favorite videos ever.

so true...sad,maybe he doesnt want it any other way...(which is probably the best and only good way.2 skatefor urself)

First, let me say I am a HUGE fan of Snyderman and have been since Fulfill the Dream. But he didn't become a big name pro for a lot of reasons. Timing was one of them. He came up in the era where big gaps and handrail skating were all the rage and sponsors were pressuring their riders to do 20 stair rails just to stay on the team. Dave Duren said he was forced to retire because he just couldn't deal with the "We need more handrails, bro" bullshit from his sponsors. Also, I hate to say it but Aaron and a photographer got called out on faking a sequence in Big Brother magazine and it was something of a scandal. Faking photo sequences happens all the time in skating but Aaron was caught red handed by a fan and it seems he became the fall guy for the industry. Lastly, Aaron did an interview where he said he felt he got dropped by Shorty's because at 24. he was seen as too old for the team. That sounds ridiculous nowadays but that was also very common back then. Skaters had super short careers and you were seen as past your prime by the time you hit your mid 20s.

He got caught selling product I think. Then booted from shortys
