Rumors: Eli Platt Off Subrosa & Jared Washington Off Federal.

dropouts
Last night I heard a couple of rumors, and then I Twittered about it and a couple people told me it was true. First, I hear Eli Platt has quit Subrosa and is going back to school full time and is kinda over the whole pro BMX thing. And then I heard Jared Washington is off Federal. The mature and responsible thing for me to do would be to contact these dudes or their sponsors and ask, but y’know, fuck that.

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

    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..

  • Good Manners

    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.

  • tyboe

    complete bullshit.

  • adam

  • Psychedelic Luke

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

  • McGarnigle

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

  • Jerry

    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

  • poop.

    Haha. Agreed!

  • Jared W.

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

    Thanks

  • dopie

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

  • you gay

    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

  • devastator

    any publicity is good publicity

  • Sean Connery

    Losers always whine about their best.

    Winners go home and fuck the prom queen.

  • Joe G.

    Sean Connery stole that from the editor of Maxim Magazine.

  • AndyG

    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

  • Brad

    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

  • e

    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).
