“When you’re as good at riding as these two and making as much money as they already are, you’re never going to be in a position where it actually matters if you graduated or not.”

wow. you really are a jackass. what happens when riding is over? what do you have to fall back on then? these kids (unlike you) are smart and doing the right thing. maybe after bmx, they go the route eli platt did and further thier education and make more money off of that. just reading what you said about this proves that you are a fool and will ultimately go nowhere in life. thanks for the clairity.

never say never

i get what youre saying, but as good as they are its still no reason to not get AT LEAST a high school diploma. injuries can put a huge dent in your riding career (god forbid but its still very real possibility) no one ever regretted having plan B

iff you want to talk a bout money adam22 probaly is doing pretty good for himself from this website alone. many kids come on here every day and click on random posts, every time you get a hit on your website or another page you get money. and he also gets money from the sponsers and advertisers advertising on this page. so i wouldnt say he isnt doing to good.

You can get your diploma any time. When riding is over, they could do it then. Why waste all that time doing it now when they are able to make so much money now? Don’t worry about how I’m doing financially, Adam22 is aaaaaaaaaaaalll set!

I dunno if its because im blasting SWANS-PUBLIC CASTRATION IS A GOOD IDEA
but for some reason this got me really angry.

I don’t want to se two new ryan shecklers

just what i thought, but it bet they got offered a big check just to finish highschool,props to both of em, they rule at life(period).

Adam your a fucking dumbass Just because you’re a nobody doesnt mean these kids should be. Lil Wayne is in an entirely different category than bmx riders. I totally agree with get pissed. Please shut your ignorant mouth and post vids, asshole.

Nice try, but you have been destroyed and have no argument. You are the weakest link, goodbye.

“I don’t want to live in the real world.” You think graduating high school is hard? Ha ha ha ha ha, wait till you’re 30 with bad knees, bad back, and you can’t get a job because 12 years ago you were a “Pro BMXer”. Better invest your money wisely or you will see what the real world is like. A couple spoiled brats on TV, sweet!

You really think eli platt made money comparable to enarson or garret? please shut the fuck up. when theyre done riding they can easily make a living off BMX. not by riding professionally, but something else. fuck if they play their cards right im sure they can even fucking retire. gtfo

With the kind of money these 2 are making, they won’t have to worry about a job when they’re 30. LOL @ all the grumpy old men trying to drag these kids back into reality. Their reality is different than yours.

spoiled brats? damn youre a fatass faggot. look at you. Youve got a fucking baby bro. Youre crying about how others make over 100 grand more than you a year on a fucking BMX blog. youre a fucking loser dude. get the fuck outta here.

For someone like Eli Platt, an education is obviously a great idea (Eli’s story is obviously completely different than this and he was already pursuing higher education long before he got sponsored). But Garrett and Dennis each earn like 10x what Eli earned as a pro… there is no comparison.

Adam you actually ARE a fuck up. No need for an argument there. anyone who opposes finishing HS obviously is the weakest link. keep your dumb comments to yourself you’re a nobody.

All shit talk aside, I wish I was Garret….

hey dick, what does adams dick taste like?

So your entire argument is that getting your high school diploma is more important than anything, ever? I have a bunch of filthy rich NBA players that would like a word with you on this.

bmx gettin XXXposure

Listen to Gris.

i completely and totally agree with adam

I’m just saying a 17 year old with a shit load of money will have to deal with the real world a lot quicker than a kid pursuing his education. I agree with you, go for the money and get your education later, that will always be there. But, if Nike will pay for college you better jump on that shit. This is making it seem like high school is so hard, pff senior year I had 2 PE classes and a writing class, give me a break. And Dick, you’re right I totally agree with you.

some schools are different some kids suck at going to school. I struggled to get my diploma. im taking a break before i go to college. Everyones lives arent exactly the same way as yours

actually… no. you CANT get your diploma anytime. GED, yes but that does not hold the same credentials as an actual high school diploma. sorry to break it to you there smart guy. guess where those NBA players are gonna be after they blow all thier cash on big expensive houses, rims, diamonds and “makin it rain” at the clubs??? DEAD BROKE. there’s a term called (and i hate to actually have to use this term) “nigger rich” or “hood rich”. it’s when you get money and blow it on stupid things. most of these so called “filty rich” people go that route and it’s funny/sad. seeing that you look up to assholes like them and lil wayne, it’s safe to assume that you are on the same level. you cant “destroy” me on this topic because you keep proving to everyone that it’s completely true. go get your GED and join the rest of the working class… if you think you can handle it. lazy fucker. ZINGER!

we get into it sometimes. he permabanned me before the revamp of thecomeup. i agree with most the shit he says though

You can get your highschool diploma anytime you fucking retard. Its called Adult Education at Community College or virtual school online. Shut the fuck up kid youre fucking stupid. You obviously dont know how to manage your money.

u mad? ahahahahahahahaha. NO, you actually cant get your hs diploma that way. thats how you get your GED. look into it dipshit.

When did I say that everyone’s life is the same as mine? I’m talking about two well paid athletes complaining about 5 months of high school. I’m not comparing myself to them or what they go through. I took my path because I wanted too. I got my education, I got a career, I planned for a family. That is not for everyone, but bitching about 5 months of high school is lame. Injuries happen, new riders come up, take advantage of the situation, put some money away and enjoy riding your bike for what it is. But, at least finish high school. To me this argument is silly, and I can’t really understand the appeal of this show. I guess I’m just a grumpy old fatass faggot, with a kid…

Actually you can bitch. I got a couple credits both ways. the state can issue you a fucking highschool diploma. wow youre really that fucking dumb? theres no age limit to get a highschool diploma.

actually shithead… thats a commonwealth secondary diploma which happens to be another name for GED. take it.

You know, instead of wasting everyone’s time, you could just outright say “I’m a retard,” instead of trying to imply that being a teenager who’s good at riding bikes means you should ignore graduating high school. How long does a pro’s career last? 5 to 10 years?

is reynolds crying or puking over the sink at 27 seconds?

I love reading people fight over te internet.

24 credits is a highschool diploma bitch. a GED is just a test stfu

The point here is that they are making even more money (via MTV2) and these guys are living heroic lives that people wouldn’t mind watching.

no dumbass. high school diploma comes from HIGH SCHOOL. it is the key word in there isnt it? anything else is a GED… otherwise known as a commonwealth SECONDARY diploma. obviously you dont have either… or you just cheated and dont really know how to read.

garrett and dennis are so awesome. they deserve all the money that make for sure. very doubtful that they will ever need to pursue any other education, but jesus, how hard is it to graduate high school? you would have to try to fail.

thats why your simple

ur fuckin broke bitch

mtv is goin to kill bmx for me now

wtf how care bout them finishing high school

i care moere bout them mtv killin bmx

respect for these goofs has dramatically decreased…

first off can you please type in english, second, how is this going to kill bmx? This will only make bmx better because mtv has actually picked two dudes that will improve the outside image of bmx. The show i assume will show these two doing something positive, while i think just about every real bmx rider would agree that these two are some of the best riders right now…its a win win situation, not to mention it will put a little money in the pockets of bike riders and not another band or dance group

Oh, okay.

oh yeah and another thing…sure high school was pretty easy, but put your self in their shoes. Imagine you get to ride in the dew tour or some nike trip…are you going to feel like doing homework or studying? Are you going to be motivated to do a school project after going to the mailbox and getting your paycheck from nike for riding a kids bike? And im sure there is a bit of exaggeration of how hard Garrett and Dennis are trying to make for better tv.

hahahahahahahaha^^

to be fair, garrett is pretty fucking dumb.i can’t speak for enarson, but garrett is definitely borderline retarded.

1. they are insanely, unrealistically good riders, but hardly the right ambassadors for bmx…two kids who have loads of money and have a show to highlight their struggles to finish high school, please.(eli platt ftw)
2.he didn’t say it is going to kill bmx in general, he said it’s going to kill it for him.
3.getting money is usually a good thing, but there’s that something called a sellout, basically 99% of the people appearing on mtv.

ps.: if you’re the real dave mirra ignore this comment, obviously

12345

can i just say that this is possibly the funniest internet argument i’ve ever read
sorry, go on

i dont care what kind of money these two are making they wont be retiring at 30.. bmx ends man, if you were big time or not.. nobody will give a fuck that you were a pro on a bike when you are a 30 year old looking back on your glory days and wondering how you are going to pay your mortgage when your money runs out in 10 years..

ODELE!

yea i didnt mean kill it for everyone
i got into bmx cuz it wasnt cool for kids to do

i couldnt go to the mall ike a skateborder can and get a bike i had to save my money and go to a bike shop

mtv and nike are makin it the cool thing to do now lil kids there at like 10 have bikes that are like 2000 dollers i had to work so hard for mine

and its not that hard to pass high school

god damn this is why i love tcu.

Dennis has a good head on his shoulders. His family and friends are really supportive and he is mature far beyond his years. I am sure mtv will try to make it as dramatic as possible but I just want to let it be known, that he is a real sound dude.

and he seems like it. they both seem like really stand up kind of guys. i fully support them and thier decision to graduate high school. as unimportant people make it out to be, having that actual diploma (not a commonwealth secondary diploma or a GED) is something that holds a lot of weight in the grand scheme of life. granted it’s only a piece of paper, but it means a lot to a lot of people. it’s quite refreshing to know that not all bmxers are fucking morons and want to further thier lives outside of riding bikes. if we could all be so fortunate.

i agree with adam these kids are filthy rich but yes of course everybody needs a plan b

this is sooo fucking embarassing… no shit! fuck the dew tour, cruzer tour or the worlds… but i live with it. this… this is going waaay too far, waay too far. im not going to watch those queer dumb idiots, for me them dead.
fuck that

These are really too cool fucking badass riders who can do what they want.
High Five to em.

I’m all for them going to high school and seeking a higher education but Adam has a point. These kids are making an unbelievably large sum of money. You all remember the Dubai X Games correct? Garrett finished first and Sean Sexton finished third. In a period of 6 days, Sexton made around $250,000 so I can’t even fathom the amount of money Garrett has been raking up from these contests.

Are you sure you don’t mean 25,000? Nobody is making 250k from third (nevermind first) in a contest.

Yer, I got a bit trigger happy with the zeros haha.

But even then, he probably made somewhere around 50k for a contest in Dubai. He’s getting gold in all the major contests right now so it all adds up pretty quick.

they wont have a morgage because they have so much money they wont need to finance their house. all they need to is pay fuckin taxes

bitches
