[@crypttonite]

@@nugenkimancuso’s idea of help would not be very appealing. Adam22 is savvy, he knew how to give OSS cred, he stacked it with riders. If Stevie wanted a job job, Adam22 could make it happen, there’s got to be something with Adam22’s lil empire Stevie could do & ride. They hooked Begin up with Billboard ads, u get paid for that u know. Richter makes a living working for Adam22.

Sean thinks he's Stevie's Savior and we all owe him for it. He just changed his location. Dudes still in a bad place, now he's just got Sean pushing him. If Sean was doing it cuz he cared or was a good dude, he wouldn't drink with Stevie. He wouldn't shit on him publicly like this. Interrupting Stevie to say "he didn't have shit! Just a backpack!" "He's definitely not who he used to be" "DUDE I PAY EVERYTHING." I hope Stevie gets healthy and lives a happy, fulfilling life. I hope Sean finds humility as a human. He can be the cockiest bmx rider ever, he earned that. But as a man, he needs to learn humility.

[@ronnytain]

I think they Adam and Stevie helped each other, maybe Adam decided to try other stuff to make more money and apparently it worked for him. But that left Stevie out because The Rider Start is Stevie, but the Business man is Adam. I think it's just about personal steps with different ways on the road.

[@theunbreakable1587]

2 years ago I was going through bad times & watching Stevie riding clips always got me through & helped me forget about things, it got me back on a bike. To this day I watch all the old Stevie clips on the daily. There is something about his riding style that's just bad ass. Stevie still has so much potential, he has plenty of good years left if he gets himself back in shape, he always seems like a super chill nice guy too. I'd do anything to help him. Sean is/was a great rider also but like he says he's an a-hole lol. Stevie & Sean's old game of bike video is still epic.

Glad Stevie doing better now but dn it's sad to see him like this. Looks and sounds like a completely different person

Stevie if u can see this homie please stop feeling sorry for yourself. We all suffer with depression I suffer extremely bad but u have to be a man and deal with ball the problems that u face and try to hide away from your self because they will keep piling up if u don’t deal with them. You have so much potential man, your a good looking dude, your funny, u can rip a bmx still and u have everything u need to succeed. Cmon man blow this shit up and show the world who u really are. It’s dope seans helping u out but tbh I feel like he’s just trying to make money off your name man. Listening to the podcast Sean only cares about himself, he acts like he cares about saving u but he just wants the recognition of being the good guy. Maybe I’m wrong but it’s what I see from this podcast, get your shit together homie and let’s do this shit. Start a podcast or vlog cus I guarantee people would watch your shit.

Idk man Stevie and begin def helped oss get big but to say they are the only reason is a stretch.

I hope Stevie is as strong in character as he is in his riding. I get having life throw some bullshit at you and kicking you in the teeth,I lost ,meaning passed ,my girlfriend and my son. Her 7 years ago and him one year this month and I was a complete alcoholic drug addict,but,luckily I got sober before either incident and I had to dig deep to not go back down that path and it was hard,really phuqin hard,I managed to keep myself from that, because it would have just made it worse. A temporary fix for a permanent situation. If I can do it,then it can be done and I have no where near the talent and possibilities that I see in Stevie. Keep your head up brother and Ride On. I only wish I had riding as a helpful tool,but I'm too beat up and old,so please keep on keeping on Stevie. Shit I lived vicariously through him so he's helped me and I'm sure others without even knowing. Much love 🙏 and peace ✌️ to all,haters included!
