you sneaky man
I will comment on it even though you deleted it - I do believe people can change. Iâm not going to say anything else really
All I am going to say for now is that I wish this wasnât the case. It would be nice if the main person running it was someone from Onsra or someone else that hasnât burnt the community
I was excited at first because itâs a local event and I somehow still havenât made it to one
A casual race sounded like fun too tbh

Bringing new meaning to sh*tposting
That aside I do try to keep a positive outlook on things until proven wrong, it doesnât always end well but I prefer being positive over trashing on people that I havenât had personal experience with

@ShutterShock you want to give Mike another chance, saying that people change. I have a perfect example here for you.
In Finland, prisoners are considered equal, even those sentenced to life. The prisons are located in the middle of nowhere on ice, prisoners are free to go where they want (can), and are given a second chance. Inside the prisons they learn, have access to the internet, make money by working online.
Now 2/3 of those that come out of prison rejoin the society and contribute.
In America something like 3/5 go straight back to prison.
Now look on the other hand. Letâs say a family lost their daughter in Finland because she was murdered. The guy gets 20 years (or life). But doing and after these 20 years he contributes to society, gets given a second chance. In the familyâs eyes this is unfair right? Did their daughter get a second chance? No. Sheâs dead.
But in the other hand this greatly improves Finland, right? Rated one of the safest countryâs in the world, few crimes, also one of the happiest countries in the world.
Okay so weâll dumb this down because we are talking about Mike beard here. So either we forgive him and say he us trying to change and you qualify making this esk8con for our best interest (even though heâll make a lot of money if the places get taken up(bought))
Or you say that he never tried to help, in fact he never excused himself, never helped our community, was always trying to make money in unethical ways, scammed people, ingored people, took away something from other people that theyâll never get back ( time and money) and that he deserves no attention from us.
So on what conditions do you forgive him? Thatâs the real question. I donât see him doing anything that is helping us. He us doing this for money, and of course for being seen. Itâs las Vegas for God sake.

Hmmm you do make good points.
Its been so long since anyone has cared about him here that some of the bad things faded into memory - when you put it the way you did it does feel difficult to justify supporting anything he does
I guess the event is in the best interest of the community but the contrived inspiration behind the event is not - the problem is, I doubt he will even care or comment on anything we have to say here
What do we do, boycott it? Idk at this point.

Lmao donât mind me I was 6 beers deep watching how to get away with murder. I still wanna hit this up. I donât care if the organizers suck, most of the community doesnt, and i havenât gotten to actually meet any of you guys and Iâd like to ride. Letâs all just go, and do a group ride circling the venue all day if the event turns out to suck xD

Why not have the event outside? Then you can organize it like a group ride. No need to pay for a space, and itâs more covid-safe. Also, you can host it in whatever city is pev-friendly and close to a major vendor headquarters. Something like multi -day group ride. Maybe have an extended version with camping or something.
TURN-LAS?
