Allan Cooke Clarifies.


Allan Cooke hit me up just to clear things up regarding yesterday’s “Premium Disses Fit” post:

“I, as I am sure you did grew up on the genius that is Chris Moeller, I love the controversy that always surrounded him at the BMX track. Fights at the finish lines, little Chinese kids in welding kits in ad’s, I got mad respect for the dude and just want to see what comes of it. The best part of the whole thing is as we are all laughing at the comments this morning one of the accounting lady’s comes out of her office holding the Sports Chalet sale paper all stoked, ” Look Haro has an ad in the Sports Chalet sale Paper”, we all just about hit the floor laughing, what timing. Good times, thanks man.

P.S. I don’t care if you post this too, all in fun. Freestyle Fixies, Hahaha

So that’s that. Also, Moeller called me out for modifying one part of the email. In the email I said:

“Haha no it doesn’t confuse me at all that that happened, it confuses me that Allan Cooke is calling Fit out for it.”

Which I changed to:

“Not really, the fact that Premium seems offended by it confuses me.”

This obviously doesn’t change the intent of the sentence at all, I did so because I realized Allan didn’t author the original post on the site. Regardless, my apologies to Chris if he feels like this was misleading in any way. Chris also cited it as an example of me changing details to “fit my agenda”. Since Premium and Fit both advertise on this site, what would have most suited my agenda would have been to not post anything about this yesterday. My main motivator however isn’t money, it’s posting things that will interest and inform the BMX riders who frequent this site. If you want to read BMX news written by guys who care more about ad dollars than their readers, well, you already know there are quite a few sites that you would be better off checking.

Despite what many of you anonymous commenters think, there isn’t a gun to your heads forcing you to check this site, if you don’t like the things I write on here, feel free to leave and never come back, I won’t miss your page views.

    No really, explain. Ride UK asked Dan Lacey a question, Dan Lacey used that space to mock 4Down, and Ride UK deleted 80% of his answer.

    I changed “Allan Cooke” to “Premium” because I mis-spoke in the earlier email.

    If you’re going to call out hypocrisy, explain yourself, because nobody on earth could put together a semblance of an argument of this actually being hypocritical but I’d love to see you try.

    plus YOU changed what YOU said. you didnt change chris’ words, therefore this isnt the same at all. jealousy is a bitch sometimes.

    I think you probably should have just let this one go. Money is by far your biggest motivating factor, if you do it for the love why the hell do you have weight loss ads and MSN ads plastered all over your site? It’s not a bad thing that you can make good money off a website, in fact it completely amazes me, but to act like you don’t care about site traffic is a lie.

    Pretty much everything you just said I said is something I didn’t even come close to saying in my post, Mike.

    I’m not trying to talk shit, I’m just saying that these are two lame posts that got out of control, and now you’re defending yourself over a penny saver ad and gay ass Premium.

  • adam

    My main motivator isn’t money. My main motivator is to run the best BMX site ever. My second motivator is to monetize the shit out of it and make as much money as I can from it. My motive to make money never comes in front of my desire to run a great bmx site though, if it did, i wouldn’t post stuff like this because it just makes TCU less desirable to advertisers.

    if your main motivator then is to ‘run the best bmx site ever’ you should probably leave mundane and irrelevant shit like this out so you dont have to scour these comments and defend yourself to every anonymous poster you ‘dont care about’

    adam you”re amazing this is how a bmx site should be not like, ride bmx shit and vital wo are putting al ads even in front of videos ! adam for president!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mike-Hines/1488822918 Mike Hines

    Well, honestly it makes it less desirable to your readers, as well. I think this shit is super lame, and I think the posting of peoples personal lives should be avoided. Lately I’ve been really turned away from your site and have not wanted to visit it. I use to come here for the latest videos and news and truly felt that you did run the best BMX site. But, I didn’t realize that BMX could possibly get any more childish than grown men riding kids bikes, until reading some of your posts lately. I think you should stick to what you are really good at, and not this petty bullshit.

    Why do you care so much Mike? Why don’t you just switch off the computer and save the essays? the internet world is retarded and really highlights are sad state of technological possession that most human being suffer with these days. It’s soul sickness, Get out more. This site is great as it’s a democracy, and Adam just tends to says what everyone is thinking anyway. Keep it up 22, most riders (like me) who don’t post comments (as we have lives) love all this stuff.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mike-Hines/1488822918 Mike Hines

    It was mainly a critique about how this site is shifting to drama induced garbage, from a blog that contained the latest and greatest videos. I work about 10 hours a day behind the computer, I get bored and write essays. Honestly, that’s what I do, and you can see a lot of my garbage all over the internet too. I wish I could get out more. I’m not trying to hate or even stir up more drama, I’m just commenting…

    If it wasnt for all the trash talk and digging into the personal lives of the people all of you looked up to at one point in your bmx journey through life this would be just another forum/blog. If ya kids dont like it go to bmxunion. The controversy on the come up is what keeps us readers entertained in the bmx world besides just the riding aspect. In my opinion great site adam. been keepin me entertained everyday for as long as i can remember. call me a adam22 pole smoker or call me the truth. just more controversy to keep us entertained.

  • http://Website fuck haters

    why is everyone commenting on how much they hate adam and how he is in it for the money. as he said he wouldnt post provocative material if it was for money because that will cause bad publicity and people such as most of these anonymous posters to say how much they reckon he is a dickhead. this site was started to show and tell evrything that goes on in the bmx community regardless of whom it may offend. he posts things that will let people understand its not just a beautiful picture but is just like the real world. full of contraversy and conflict.

    Adam is retaliating because it’s finally become clear that his opinion is irrelevant to the concensus of tcu viewers. Contrary to his claim to post content based on the needs of the site’s viewers, it doesn’t take great intelligence to see the vast majority of comments actually reflect distaste in his childish posts. Also, to say he isn’t monetarily motivated is ridiculous because this page is lit up like times square. I stopped coming to tcu after his blatant disregard for common sense over the whole Ian Schwartz debacle, nice to see he’s up to the same old shit.

  • http://clickedbmx.com Hines

    ahh the tenderness of youth. His “provocative material” keeps people returning to his site, therefore generating hits/views which fattens his pockets. Adam is very smart and realizes the original content/drama he provokes creates revenue. If you think he’s “keeping it real” you’re only partly right. Adam does a great job of voicing his opinion and embeding others videos, but he’s very crafty on what he decides to make relevant. Much like Moeller pointed out in Adam’s word manipulating. He’s the media, whether you side with him or not, it’s not always balanced. Take Fox news for example.

    Because that is boring as fuck.

  • http://Website lance

    He pointed out a post on PREMIUM’s site that was dissing fit, he then made a post about it on his own blog and asked Moeller to comment. Adam changed his words up a little when he posted the conversation but he didn’t spin the truth or leave anything out. I don’t see why you’re so mad. Shut the fuck up dude. If you’re so pissed about adam putting money in his pocket, stop supporting him by not ever coming back on this site… It’s as simple as that.

  • http://Website pete greaves

    I never read all the shit on this site about peoples love lives and industry falling outs. I don’t give a fuck, and I think probably 95% of the people who check this site don’t care either. The dumb thing is is that the shitty posts like the Ian Schwartz one (which incidentally is basically a totally fucking inexcusable invasion of the guys privacy) float to the top because people post to say stop posting this shit. The post then gets shown as being popular leading to more people seeing it and posting comments saying it’s bullshit.

    It’s also kind of hilarious that Adam has taken on the Perez Hilton role in BMX whilst being basically his long lost twin. I honestly thought that Cleggy’s outstanding photoshop was Adam until I searched google images for Perez HIlton.
