No Longer a BMX Pro: Quitting Stranger

Спорт

There's been a lot going on behind the scenes and I think it's time I shed some light on the situation. I can only hope all of you understand where I'm coming from and respect my decision given the circumstances.

    I think the lesson here is not to build your house on someone else's land. Partnerships largely land with one side feeling overworked, underpaid, or contributing more than the other. As you age, your passion and focus will change over and over again. Those that you leave behind will feel hurt and lash out. I'm sure you already have this figured out, but I would think you'd be best using the LZBMX brand to private label something keeping you attached to BMX forever. There aren't many Tony Hawk's that can ride until they are 40. There are many more that use their life experience to evolve the sport whether they ride everyday or not. The business of BMX would benefit greatly from such an amazing ambassador. Do you bro!

    Starting your own BMX company will result at loss 99% of the time. Also, to design, make, manufacture/ label, market, sell and ship a product you should know exactly what you are doing or bring tons of cash while having professional staff already working on it. Plus, the BMX market is oversupplied already. No Money to be made here. And why would one sacrifice 3/4 of their day when the result is +-0$. Not worth it.

Instead of being a bunch of kids why not support him for this? All these negative comments WONT make him go back to stranger nor will it make him QUIT drifting. He does what he wants and what he thinks is right and will help him move on in life.

    din nr if that's the choice he made than that's that there should be no problem. The thing is that he says in so many videos that he DOES still ride it's just either way his viewers complain. When he uploads a bmx video his viewers that ride complain that he just does the same tricks and when he doesn't upload bmx videos they complain there is none. The reality is that no Matter what he does there's alway complaints from someone. That's why we should support him and his decisions if they make him happy. I guarantee that if we just support him and his decisions the content would be a lot better because he'd be less stressed out on trying to please one chunk of his viewers. He'd know that no matter what he does if he's stuck or doesn't know what to post about we can give him suggestions and not complain about it.

    Also this comment wasn't to start some sort of argument between the rider viewers and drifter/car people viewers. I just want Adam and whoever scrolls through the comments to see this so they know that some people just want to see the KZread happy. While I am a bmx rider and car guy, I watch Adam because his videos have all out positivity and a fun vibe. Whenever the KZreadr is stressed out it kills that making the quality of the video wack. And the fact is we have the power to stop that by just supporting him and making him feel relaxed instead of hopping on his back and weighing him out. If we just keep dressing him out, at one point there could be no more videos at all that'd be the end of it.

If you have Scerbo riding for you,when you were doing something right but then I have no idea what the fuck happened the product started shitting the bed around when Dak left because when Ian Schwartz left they had just made his signature shoe so they just made it Dakota's without any of his input.

    Adam, you seem like such a nice guy! You are so down to earth about everything.and you never want to give up because of the bad things that happen to you. That, I believe, is why you have become such a sought-after character in the world of bmx and drifting. Why I started following your channel? Well my little brother and I were into sports like skating and bmx. He was more into bmx and I, more skating. He watched your videos every day and I would watch with him. Neither of us had a car and biking was our way of getting around and we always tried to make it more fun. This gave him the drive to progress his bmx skills and thus the reason he started watching your channel. He then found your advice and your skills to be helpful in learning about the sport and skill set that follows. Then I bought a car around the same you bought the 240sx and started modding it and I felt like I then had a connection and so your channel turned into what it is now and I watch your videos every day or at least I watch every video and it is great content so I just want to say thank you for your time and effort and that you do make a difference. Unfortunately great people like yourself get stuck in bad situations (referring to the Strange BMX sponsorship) and it's great to that things like this don't faze you or cloud your vision of your goals! Thanks Adam! Sincerely, Alex Gray, follower of about 4 yrs!

    I don't know if the people in the comment section even listened to you or didn't they just understand. Kids think that getting going pro means you are going to be rich and that it's going to be a nice smooth ride to success. It's no were near that and many pro riders have to really count their money. And what comes to riding, you can't keep beating your self over and over again while riding. I kind of learned that the hard way and now I can't ride bmx or scooters or skateboards no more since my body is in pretty bad condition. But I'll stop now so I don't write a half a book in the comment section. I really respect your decision and I understand you fully! (and sorry if the text is kind of a mess... English isn't my first language)

    This really depresses me as Adam Lz is the reason i started biking years ago and even before that i would watch his videos as inspiration for working hard to being able to afford my first bike. In the last 25 of your videos only two of them heavily involve bmx one of which about why your quitting. You've turned your channel and company from a bmx subject to cars (channel) and both (brand). I loved your channel and subscribed to you for your constant inspirational and motivational bmx videos. It seems like you're changing your life, profession and fanbase to cars.

Not saying that in a talking shit way but I don't blame you at all for your decision, honestly makes sense really... I mean who gonna stay with a company that doesn't even pay you but yet they are getting free advertising and making ton of the money off product that is being sold because of you.
