woulda liked to see that sergio topic but that new sliverfish forum layout is an abortion

good for you making that point about sergio's lack of a sig deck cliff...he's brought SO much attention and traffic to gravity and anyone who'd try to argue that is a fool...

anyway....

Sergio pro model
On 8/7/2006 F wrote in from Canada  (70.48.nnn.nnn)

Sergio deserve a deck for the accomplishment on getting poeple to slide proudly in this skateboarder world, just like Cliff.

Living, filming or spreading the stoke for the skate scene deserve a salary or royality.

I skate because of them, not because of these guys, even if i respect their accomplishments.

Point!

Peace in a world of war.

Michael Bream Correct this mistake.
On 8/7/2006 Cliff Coleman wrote in from United States  (67.161.nnn.nnn)

For those who wish to know, I did post the comment regarding Sergio on the Silverfish site. Here are some comments from me about this. I have the highest respect for Bruce Logan's history first. I was skating back in steel wjheel days as was Bruce. I was skating when he was the absolute best on the planet. This was in about 63/64. He and I are not in Sergio's league at this time and date. That is all and is why I can't understand the thought process that doesn't allow Sergio a Signature deck while Bruce and others have them at the Gravity Company.

Here is what I wrote and what I stand by. Sometimes the sponsors have to be held to a standard of common sense along with the rest of us. This goes for all sponsors. Take care of your team riders like they deserve!

Michael Bream, Correct this mistake.

----------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
Cliff Coleman here. I tried to post this on the Gravity site but for some reason they didn't return my request via e-mail for a password to get on their forum.

I believe that Gravity/Michael Bream has made a huge mistake by not producing a Sergio Yuppie signature model skateboard deck. How many of you would like to see a Sergio signature deck?

Gravity has many signature decks. They have one for Buttons, Ed Economy, Ben W., Bertleman and even a Logan model. In my opinion, none of these riders, great as they may be, or may once have been, can measure up to Sergio! Sergio has been on the Gravity Team for years and still doesn't have a model? He brings tremendous attention to Gravity. Flow was voted one of the 25 best Surf/Skate videos of all time. This is because of Sergio. None of the other videos that Gravity has put out without Sergio, have done anywhere near as well! When I look at the signature decks that are mentioned above, I know that most of these riders hardly skate anymore. Why do they have decks if Sergio doesn't?

Now for an open question to you Michael Bream. Can you correct this mistake? Here is a quote from you about mistakes: "I'll judge you on how you correct your mistakes, that is the true judge of character.... because everyone makes mistakes...."


Michael please give Sergio a signature model deck. It only took Pocket Pistols one month to produce my signature model. So please, no excuses about how it takes a lot of time to produce a signature model deck.

Sincerely,
Cliff Coleman

Fabrice,

I understand the difficulties riders somtimes have with sponsors. I'm sure the sponsors think we riders can be difficult also. However, when it comes down to personal integrity, we have to do what is in our hearts. Remember, you will always be a "CliffSlider Allstar"!

Life is good. Go out and enjoy it.

Josh,

Go to "pocketpistolskates.com" and contact them regarding getting a Cliffslider deck. Chicken will take care of you.

When will the AZ boys be making a trip to the heaven of downhill, Berkeley, CA? I need to visit AZ and you need to visit the Bay Area!

Thanks for the 360s at Danger Bay, they were awesome.

slide board
On 7/24/2006 Josh wrote in from United States  (71.215.nnn.nnn)

hey Cliff, this is Josh from Tucson AZ. I haven't spoke to you since Danger Bay, how have you been? I did a couple 6 wheeler 360's for you on my last run just before carnage corner, did you see them?

I was wondering if I could get the pocket pistols deck I saw at slidefest, I can't find it anywhere and didn't know who better to ask about it than you. I really want that board, seems like what I would make if I made a sliding board.

so here is yet another invite to come ride Mt. Lemmon, or any of the AZ roads. Hope to see you soon!

Josh

Fedup with the sponsoring. I did quit yesterday. Its all about riding, and having fun with the boys.

I feel free now, and can concentrate on my movie, with Yann.

Give me a call, we will talk, no details on the web..i am professional.

I lost your dam phone number again when i started cleanin up the house instead of destroying it like i use to do when i was pissed back then.

HAHA!

Like i say all the time: JUST RIDE!

Take care "daddy", and thanx for everything. It was cool meeting you in Cali and BC.

Peace.

Thanks for the up-date. Good luck at the races! If you do make it down my way at the end of the summer, you have a place to stay. I may go to an event or two so check with me before you make plans.

Sully's question
On 7/18/2006 Cliff Coleman wrote in from United States  (67.161.nnn.nnn)

Sully,

I can pick out from the film, Hester, Skoldberg, Hutson, Don Hoffman, but I can't remember the name of the Girl with the blond hair. she was a famous skater from the day abnd I saw her at a La Costa Slalom race a few years ago. If I remember her name, I will get back to you. There are others that I didn't recognize. It was fun riding La Costa back in that era!
