Gregory R. Dickson.. i like your photos, but you need to start your own site. Maybe it will be more popular then TCU. Hey everyone, you know what… More people need to check this site before TCU.

Go to Http://www.bmxfeed.com/

At that site you get all the up to date news with none of the bullshit………simple if you ask me..

Also, if people want to advertise on the TCU, i’m all for it. I have never bought a product based on any website advertising and never will. Adam22, i hope your taking a fair amount of the money your making and putting into some kind of savings plan/investment plan, cause sites like yours are trendy and don’t tend to have staying power. Look at what happened to sprfls… dead.. Eventually people just get tired of the negativity.. regardless of weather it’s “keeping it real”.

wow. Greg seems like a babbling idiot. Seriously, Adam talks a lot of shit, but how many of your friends talk shit to each other? Just because people don’t agree with what he says, they automatically call him a girl, or a fag, or any other name related to “shit-talking”. It’s full circle. You do something adam doesn’t like, He’s going to talk shit on you, pretty much what every other human does on this planet. If adam does something you don’t like, you talk shit on him. Is this making any sense to you? Greg? You are preeching intelligence but you can’t even complete a full sentence. I’m not sticking up for Adam but holy shit it’s easy to see why you don’t have friends. Pro’s struggle because they are falling off of the band wagon. There are only a handful of pro’s that are marketable. It changes, why do you think Dave Mirra isn’t in the spot light anymore? Why do you think Nigel Sylvester picked up a contract from Gatorade? Simply put, everything is going to internet based advertising. You are crying because TCU single handedly is shutting down your precious RIDEbmx magazine. Photographers don’t make nearly as much when their photo’s are posted online. Magazine’s are going away in general because the internet is basically free. Why do you think magazine’s like Ride invest thousands into a site. You do have a 4th grade mentality if you think that the internet is killing bmx. Email killed the post office years ago. Are you just as upset because you don’t get to lick the glue off the back of your favorite elton john stamp? I think you are.

Greg, Your a douche. Quit trying to make this about you. When defgrip does an interview titled “Greg Dickson – I still lick my mom’s tit” I will have a different opinion of you. Until then, Sign “anon” because your will save yourself from looking like a douche bag.

All Mr. Adam22 did was make news more accessible and faster. I would of like to hear of Mike Aitken’s crash the same day it happened, Rather than 2 months later when Ride put’s it in their magazine. The stuff your getting on the TCU is up to date and fresh. Why do you think Defgrip only post’s artsy, macneil, and other related stuff. Because they know TCU has it on lock. There is no need for 14 sites to post the same news. Get used to it, The Come up is here to stay, 3 years running.

All this was eventually going to happen, Positive or not, you ain’t going to change it.

The problem I am having with TCU is that sites such as Vital or Ride pay their editors and videographers to create original content. Then they hope to charge for views on their sites.

What happened instead? Adam created TCU and everyone keeps checking his site. It is more convenient and faster. But Gregory is right – Vital created his own content and someone else’s is making profit from it. Either directly by embedding the video or indirectly by constant announcements that video XY is newly available at Vital. Do you see my point?

I am a videographer and photographer and would like to receive full credit for my work. I think it is not necesarry to draw comparisons to music industry.

And the whole great idea of webvideo being great way of advertising these days. I can not catch up the constant stream of same, boring, badly made sponsor webvideos. Just around 10 stuck in my mind. Not a very good score.

you don’t even need to like or hate Adam. unless you have no life, you can do what i do and just get the information that has been redirected to his site. get your fill of daily happenings (or non happenings) and leave.There is no need to glamorize or crucify the guy.
i check out tons of other similar sites (non-bmx) and you know what, i couldn’t give a shit if brook shields, pee wee herman or hitler writes them.

well thanks adam… that means a lot. wait. no it doesnt. “i have 8 of my friends here” – adam22. dude… seriously, get over yourself. i’m over this shit. i’m sure next time i see you and call you out for being a sucker punching little girl you’ll wanna do something… and you’ll get rocked. “NEW YORK” – adam22 in response to me calling him out on pulling his knife out. i have no reason to lie about anything… it’s not me who’ll lose “respect” from kids i’ll never know. and as for my time best spent, i actually rode my bike today… i didnt blog about it. i’m currently dropping a duece (not the dude from badashell). thats the only time adam22 is worthy of my time on the internet. – Gregory R.

I already fought Greg and there weren’t any “friends” or “knives” involved. Everyone knows that. I don’t have any interest in fighting him again, nor did I really have any interest in fighting him in the first place. I don’t have anything to prove, or at least I don’t care to prove anything. Greg can talk about me all he wants, it says a lot more about his character than it does mine. After giving the whole situation a little thought, I truthfully wish him the best, even if he feels his time is best spent talking about me online.

on some real shit. Greg, your biggest faggot ive ever had the pleasure of reading. Ive spent some time on def/tcu and have never seen anyone be such a pussy over something so rediculous. You just dont know when to stop, apparantly even after everyone puts the facts in your face, you still go on rambling about fucking nonsense. let adam have the spotlight be built for himself, instead of your trying to tear his life and website apart. jealousy blows, especially for you
