Adam22 Defgrip Exclusive.

httpblogdefgrip
Harrison and Andrew from Defgrip came by my apartment a month or two ago while they were in NYC to film a Defgrip interview with me. I suppose I’ll just let it speak for itself!*

*But I’d also like to thank Harrison and Andrew for the opportunity to do one of these. The fact that you guys think I’m worthy of having an interview on Defgrip at all is a massive compliment and I appreciate it.

    Interesting, Adam has a different opinion to say the least.

  • nikki

    great interview, the is one of the most true and real things I have heard anyone say about their own site or the internet and bmx on the internet.

  • http://baysmog.com kurt russell

    THATS WHATSUP

  • TheBarr

    Adam22 runs bmx.

  • chris stauffer

    watch me not give three flying fucks.

  • john

    you say ‘like’ alot.

  • yoooo

    so like that was like kinda like really like cool

  • sucker puncher

    please do us a favor an stop with the interviews. kill yourself for the sake of bmx.

  • the SOUP!

    you realize you are contradicting your self by posting on here

  • jjay

    defgrip is the gayest fanboy website in bmx. stop trying to be all apple art fag and just post your shit like anyone else. fuck.

  • jordan

    good interview.

  • Not Billy Malkotsis

    adam22 has big ears

  • Maciek

    real talk

  • Chris

    I wouldn’t really call that an interview since you weren’t really asked any questions….. that being said it was alright but was really just you talking about yourself which you seem to like to do.

  • youngn

    keep it real my nikka

  • agus

    WORD.

  • adam

    believe it or not, it is possible that someone was asking me questions, and then removed the questions through a process called “video editing”.

  • Mission BMX

    good insight… seemed truthful to what his outlook usually is.

  • methuser

    Man the fuck up and get a real job.
    pussy

  • Steven

    I just want to reemphasize what an idiot that Chris kid is for not understanding that the questions were edited out. Thanks for your time.

  • CRAZY MAAZY

    waste of time

  • Chris

    believe it or not but that wasn’t an insult towards you. Still I think it’s weird to have an interview where the viewers don’t know what questions you are being asked which makes you look like you are just talking the whole time.

  • Michael Fitzsimmons

    Does anyone else think its funny that he wants people to respect him for not supporting Nike, yet has no problem whoring the site out to the US Army, Proactiv, etc. Who’s sucking who’s dick with all that bullshit? I guess its whatever, he’s getting paid, I just wish Adam22 would stop trying to be BMX’s hero.

  • Billy

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Adam wrote this to try and back himself up.

  • Billy

    That is Steven=Adam

  • WILL.O

    the guys getting payed to blog about BMX when were doing a nine to 5
    shit talk or not, id love to slate peoples videos or has Adam puts it “being honest” for a living.
    gotta get payed ! ?
    i liked the interview tho, gotta admit thecomeup is a honest BMX board. Thats why im on here like 3 times a day

  • Caio LA

    Have you never seen a documentary?!?! Most of them show interviews without the questions. And there’s no problem with that, just a way to show some content.
    The DefGrip guys know how to do it very well in a very sofisticated way…
    Didn” you see the other DefGrip Originals? Everybody is talking about themselves, just because they have saomthing interesting to say…

  • sean

    Very severe overuse of the word “like”.

  • Al Red

    likelikelikelikelikelikelikelikelikelikelileiliekleilelkeieleike.
    LIKE. you say like a fuck lot like at least like 50 times like in that like interview like.

  • adam

    I don’t have any issues with taking advertising money from the army or Proactiv. I also don’t have any issue with taking money from Nike, since I’ve done it before and I’d do it again.

    Not sure how you could possibly think that I’m trying to be a hero in any way, I’m just a guy who ended up running a website that is so popular that even people who hate me are on it every day.

  • traskVT

    That interview pretty much sums up what I think about thecomeup in general, I don’t always agree with him the whole time, but it IS a place where everyone, even those hiding behind anonymous tags can voice their opinion, and I agree with Adam that everyone should HAVE an opinion on shit instead of just goin with the flow like 95% of america does.
    Think for yourself!

    You think this site sucks, then why are you posting on it? First reason I’d say is jealousy and wanting you crap 5 minutes of fame. Bmx for the most part is so cookie cutter these days that I’m happy to see when ANYTHING stands out, for whatever reason. Stop bitching on the net and go out and keep tryin to do your sloppy barspins, no handers, and whips that plague all those shit webedits that he has to sort through, that’ll REALLY piss him off!

  • traskVT

    correction: “*your crap 5 minutes” not you. haha

  • adam

    LOL @ Gregory trying so hard to post comments on here. How many people’s computers are you going to hijack just to try and voice your lame opinion on here for 5 minutes til I delete it? Thanks for the page views, pussy.

  • Chris

    I think you nerds are reading into what I wrote a little too much. I thought it was good. for fucks sake, quit taking yourselves so seriously.

  • Thomas

    straight talk, REALness over positive lame shits… thumbs up Adam!

  • yo mang1

    haha dude your fucking hilarious

  • coco bear

    dream drops

  • JAMES

    haha i love how you all talk shit and then you get punked by adam

    hes right you love to talk shit about him, but yet your on his site EVERY day lol and dont lie and say your not

    in my opinion this is one of the realest inteviews ive seen

  • DA DEVIL

    i cum blood

  • Jimmy

    Well I have a booty call who I meet up with often and come all over her face. Doesn’t mean I respect her yet I still call her when I’m wasted.

  • http://vinylbmx.com Tom Arkus

    Thats was a good interview. If you can’t figure out the questions Adam is being asked your an idiot… Real truth.

  • Jimmy

    if the question was “tell everyone that is a fan of the site what they already knew” then ya it was easy.

  • Dat Purple

    I loved that interview.

    Adam’s simply capitalizing on an incredibly influential site while not being a fucking pussy about everything.

    And everyone knows that BMXers have terrible skin and will most likely fuck up down the road and join the army. He’s just helping out, d00ds.

  • Winston

    I’m just going to go ahead and believe you are being sarcastic.

  • Winston

    Man I used to fucking hate this site until I actually gave it a chance, the interview helped too.

    I’m questioning my own existence meow.

  • 999

    i think he kinda has to take himself serious.

  • 999

    how can anyone (that rides) in there right mind hate the comeup?
    i thank god this site exists.
    niggas got maaaaadddddddd haters, i just hate the fact i didnt think about this before him. haha.

  • http://www.soldoutbmx.blogspot.com soldoutbmx

    not really fussed at all about what anyone has to say on this site, just somewere to watch videos in 1 easy spot.

  • Redwin

    the end was hilarious Adam, i enjoyed it

  • BadRadman

    wigga

  • homeless

    lol at the last bit. good interview adam/harrison, i liked it. especially the part about positivity, so fucking true.

  • polly fp

    adam 22….10 outta 10 mate

  • WUT

    “Chris Stauffer’s got nothin to offer”…..

  • CTadam

    Im so glad that the come up exists…

    Think of how lame BMX would be without it. I mean at least we have shit it argue about! And a place to do it!

    And to people who say it/22 is “ruining bmx” I say this- TCU isnt DOING anything, its how people REACT to TCU that is bad, but thats in their own hands. If people had thicker skin/could just LAUGH about shit, then the site could be appreciated for what it really is.

    A22 is just along for the ride guys… This is where his ride took him.

    Hey Adam,

    You should blog about the original TCU logos. Why did you change those, anyway?

    we only come here to get the news… we don’t give a shit about you

  • kik

    Do you mean the cocaine and money?

    I’m sure he just wanted to have slightly more mass appeal and probably was tired of them.

    If you are trying to say that was a sell-out move or something, you are an idiot. Then again, you’ve already proven that point many times over.

  • http://www.myspace.com/go_ride_your_bike rich

    i only use this site because its the one with the most videos and the most recent news. i dont care about who runs it, if there was a site that just kept in the news and the videos without all the bitch-calling bullshit, i’d never visit this site again.

  • http://www.myspace.com/go_ride_your_bike rich

    also, i think you officially buried the word ‘like’.

  • MOe H.

    hahaha that was interesting..

  • the Johnson

    awsome!

  • dan

    that was pretty dope.
    i just have 2 questionds though…
    why does adam go by adam22? like where did the 22 part come from?
    and also, why do so many people hate on him? i think that the come up is one of the best hings to happen in bmx, and its all to adam22…

  • chicago street rida

    adam i dont know you so it,s not place to judge you , i do think it,s a great thing youre doing helping to promote new faces to the scene for that you deserve props keep doing what youre doing ! fuck all the coward ass internet hiding behind screen pussy,s !

  • faggot

    i love how he says the jobs not that great and then has a bit of a think about it and realises what a dick hes going to sound like and starts backtracking and talking about garbagemen!!! dude you sit on your ass and watch bmx videos!!! garbagemen…. what?!

  • jason

    Yall haters are funny, all you do is add fuel to the fire. You bitch ass niggas complain but your on the site everyday. If adam22 makes you that mad dont fuck with the come up, get bmx news, and watch web edits form some other site. I dont always agree with the boy but, i dont hate, he’e allowed to have his opinion. Yo adam22 keep doin your thing on the site and the haters will keep logn on so you get paid lol. POP OFF….
