eli platt is an amazing rider and a good person. best wishes to him and i am sure he will be good at what ever he chooses to follow.

thats pretty cool of eli platt… best wishes…

eli is a cool dude… all the best.
jared, you still owe me 10 dollars… so ehhm… fuck you.

thtas cool for eli but arnt subrosa introducing a red version of his frame??

Not if he is leaving the team.

Hopefully Eli has most of his Anthem shit filmed if this is true. Jared just rules and needs to come down to Ridley more.

eli e um grande piloto mas fazer o que?
e foda…

Now they can bump greg smee upto pro!

man fuck wasn’t Eli filmin for the subrosa video thats supposed to be being filmed for like the last 2 years..
they better do a fuckin goodbye edit if so cuz ill stab a hoe if they don’t. and that’s good for Eli cuz then he’ll be able to get a good job and make some real money. bad for bmx cuz it’s loosing one of the chillest, most styley mafuckers. I’m pretty sure his hopwhip down the 3-stair in Winteractive is the best hopwhip ever filmed.. period..

8*(

i dont believe !!!!

most kids on the board that talk shit CANT EVEN DO A 180 on a bike

which proves they havent been in the game long enough to have a respected opinion !!!!!!

unless its straight from the horses mouth

idk!

(shrugged shoulders)

Seeing as both those companies help pay your bills you probably should check with them first out of courtesy, nice to see how high your levels of respect are.

complete bullshit.

I don’t go to your job and kick the broom out of your hands, don’t tell me how to do my job.

lol adam has a good point. now get back to sweepin the fuckin floor

Good, Eli is too smart for BMX.

LOL

better.

Yeah smart decision for sure. Bmx street riders make fuck all in the way of money it seems.

“I hear Eli Platt has quit Subrosa and is going back to school full time and is kinda over the whole pro BMX thing. ”

concrete proof he is the smartest dude in the game

fedreals losin pros one bye one frst bruce now jared wow

Jared going to ride for Skavenger?

I heard Jared went to England, and streaked around Federal’s warehouse in a body suit. Then drove around the Yankee Stadium parking lot dragging the World Series trophy while wearing Lou Gerigs pants

Haha. Agreed!

Hey guys, just making the facts clear, I am NOT leaving the amazing Federal Team so dont believe the hype.

Thanks

and thats how to kick good manners deep in the ass..

Oh my gawd jared washington u r0ol

I was thinking Eli quit his sponsors (Subrosa, Lotek and Shadow Conspiracy) for other companies because a hip used-clothing store in Columbus has tons of his clothing and shoes for sale.

Glad to hear he’s following his plans, I remember him deciding to do exactly this when he first got sponsored. Well, not quite, I think he wanted to put out one video part and then leave it all behind.

Still, I don’t get it. Why can’t you go to school and continue to ride? I know being a professional street rider doesn’t pay the bills (there’s plenty of ways around that, but that’s for another time), but it does have some benefits you can enjoy without devoting your life to it.

I think he’ll still keep on riding, just purely for the fun of it, not so much for having to film a video part for a company. Going back to school is never a bad thing

I like Eli

any publicity is good publicity

Losers always whine about their best.

Winners go home and fuck the prom queen.

Sean Connery stole that from the editor of Maxim Magazine.

haha weve been sayin that same connery quote all the time for the last couple months. so priceless. wish i was in columbus so i could go get all his used clothing. maybe some residue of sweat would help me be a total badass like him

Well, cool that hes going to school. Lame that he would just give up an awesome opportunity that a ton of kids would fight for. Too good for bmx I guess. Do both and stop being a pussy

wow i was already a fan of his riding, but eli platt just took over my bmx legend list, thats just amazinh(if its really true mind you).

[...] I was half right, Eli is actually off Subrosa, but apparently Jared Washington is still on Federal. Eli’s got [...]

[...] I broke the news and Ride already posted an interview, but Shadow just put up an official statement from Eli Platt about his departure from the Subrosa and Shadow teams. [...]
