Top Ten Reasons The White Bear Sucks
(One) He looks gay as fuck in that photo from Boise in 1985 (above), he must be a fag. (Actually I'm just a lame straight guy who's been fat, ugly, broke, and had bad teeth for the last 20-25 years, so it's not like women have been beating down my door or anything).
(Two) He had terrible, shaky camera work in this video, although the ending is cool. "Somebody fire that cameraman right now." Heh, heh, heh...
(Three) He spent way too much time writing about trying to do bunnyhop tailwhips in his blog, and never, EVER, pulled one. Bill Nitschke invented that trick, let him enjoy the props for being the first guy to land it.
(Four) He's a loser... anybody who can manage to be homeless for 17 or 18 years must be smoking crack or meth or something. How could anyone not get a job for 17 years? (Actually no alcohol, no drugs, I even kicked my Diet Coke habit a couple of years ago. I do have a serious 7-11 pepperoni pizza habit though, after my years driving a taxi, and then being unable to find any job in NC for ten years, I actually have no work history to even put on a resume' at this point). Either I manage to get a little, one man publishing/content creating business going, or I'll do the work for free. Time will tell which way it ultimately works out.
(Five) He hasn't been able to jump anything at Sheep Hills since about 1992, when The Bowl was still a thing. And he had the audacity to write a "History of Sheep Hills" post on his Substack. What the fuck is a Substack, anyhow?
(Six) He writes like he's still a BMX guy, but he hasn't ridden a bike since like 1995 or something. (Actually I rode nearly every day from June of 1982 until August of 2003. The last trick I learned was nollie 180's on a speed bump, in a parking lot in Garden Grove, across the freeway from the Van's Skatepark and The Block of Orange. I started gaining weight working as a taxi driver in late 2003, got really fat, and haven't ridden hardly at all since, that's true).
(Seven) He's fat, ugly, and he smells bad. I know you're homeless, but damn dude, jump in the ocean once in a while or something.
(Eight) He wrote FREESTYLIN' Mag Tales blog and totally pissed off everyone at Wizard Publications. (Yep, I wrote that blog in 2008-2009 (over 100 posts). Then I wrote the original Freestyle BMX Tales blog from 2009-2012 (over 500 posts). I deleted both of those blogs completely from the internet in the fall of 2012).
(Nine) He actually admits that he used to work in a porn store. He must be a perv. I bet he has sex with goats, aardvarks, and transgender pygmies or something. (Sorry to disappoint everyone, but a little free lesbian porn when I get a motel room keeps me away from the goats, pygmies, and such. I do find aardvarks cute, though, but in a purely platonic way).
(Ten) The guy made like three low-budget BMX videos, waaaaay back when, and they all sucked. And he acts like he's some big Hollywood producer or something. What an arrogant prick! Here's the Steve Emig: The White Bear's Film Festival. You can decide how much they all suck. Feel free to go off on Facebook to make it official.
(Bonus) The guy is 58-years-old, and he still calls himself "The White Bear," a nickname from 1992. Who the fuck does that? He writes blog posts making fun of himself, in the third person. Who does that? Besides, the guy is so damn sarcastic that I can never tell if he's kidding or he's serious. What a fucking kook! He's a fucking NEVER WAS sell out. And he draws pictures of other people's photos and calls it "art." What a loser.
Blogger's note- June 9- 2025- Everything on the list above is a reference to things that have been said to my face, said about me in social media comments, or said behind my back that I heard about later. My life has been really weird for about 25 years now, and I've been plugging through a whole lot of bullshit, sometimes my own, but also a lot that came at me from outside sources. It's a crazy world, shit happens. I'm still plugging away at trying to create pretty cool stuff, to the extent I'm able, every single day. I will continue to do that, as long as I can. In this post, I just decided to address a bit of the mud that's been slung at me, in my usual, sarcastic way.
When not writing self-deprecating posts while Old School BMX events are happening elsewhere, I do most of my writing on Substack these days. It's an online platform designed specifically for writers. To find more reasons to hate me, click the link below:
