The following statement was released to me earlier today from the Addict Team.
"Everyone has heard the rumors about Stan, some of you may have been directly involved with some his "deals". Although we were skeptical at first, we took Stan in good faith, hoping that he had put his past behind him. However, over the last few months we have come to realize that he hasn’t changed at all. Addict is a serious company, we’re like a family. So we don’t appreciate those who lie and cause trouble for us behind our backs. We gave Stan numerous chances but he still swindles us and constantly pesters us about money. Stan is not a true rider, he doesn’t respect his sponsors. He just sells and steals his way through he can better himself. We have no regrets to let him go.
Be sure to keep an eye out for our new rider. Whom we will be announcing in a few weeks time.
-Addict"
So it looks like one thing or another has led to the separation of Stan Smirnoff and Addict. For further news on this issue, keep checking Inside-Scooters.
holy shit wtf happened?
ReplyDeletei think it might have been with him ripping people off on bars a while back
ReplyDeletedem is fightin words
ReplyDeletedamn he musta really fukd up this time
ReplyDeleteShiiitt !:o
ReplyDeleteHis parts in the Addict catalog looked sooooooooo sick tho..
ReplyDeletenawww just a wannabe pothead

ReplyDeleteimaaa bee
ReplyDeleteStan Smirnoff is still my favorite
ReplyDeleteNick Darger
ReplyDeleteStan is honestly a really nice guy, ill always be cool with him. he just doesn't handle his sponsors well.
typical of Stan.
ReplyDeletesponsors dont get him and he doesnt get sponsors.
ReplyDeleteand i think a lot of it has to do with not having too much money to live on and a habit that doesnt support saving.
:/ i still think hes an okay guy. and i thought addict was going to be good for him.
This is sad news, he had a lot of potential... no one is really going to want him now.
ReplyDeletechris dant
To be honest, I can't say I'm surprised... And the thing is, he's too stubborn to listen. But I predicted this months ago. Even tried to put some sense in his head on how to handle sponsorships. And this is the result of his actions. It's only going to snowball, and soon enough nobody will want to put up with him. I really hate to say it, since he's a homie. But the truth hurts sometimes.
ReplyDeletethats what weed dos to you :P
ReplyDeleteJosh you dont know shittttttt haha dont worry about it!!! i quit!! addict and i sent an email to steven saying i can not ride for addict if i can not get any parts or flown to at least one more contest before the year ends because its the fuking exposed tour and all!! but after steven sent that email to marcell and i talked to johaann i heard nothing until today so i dunno what you call that
ReplyDeleteHe deserved it, Its sad to say, But his riding has just been getting worse anyway, back in the day he was way better. All his improved is style, apart from his turndowns.
ReplyDeleteowned.
ReplyDeleteno offence to you stan you should quit drugs i know it would be tough but man seriously look wat has happened to you..full selling parts for your bad habbits man it can only go down hill from here should pick yourself up and prove to people that yu can become better then this..
ReplyDeleteSTAN TIME FOR CHANGE
ReplyDelete"Anonymous said...
ReplyDeletethats what weed dos to you :P "
not really
if u are a asshole, u are a asshole
if u are cool, u are cool....
Shinpei Nakata ftw
stan ffs man u are so different to other rider u should use this to your advantage make more people like the sport go outside and fucking look at how many times u have fucked up and think why did i fuck up then come back in side and start riding again dont be in the sport for the money be in it for injoyment
ReplyDeletewhy are you people telling him to change how he lives? your all just little kids.. dont tell him to quit drugs and to improve how he rides, get over it. THis is why scooters are gay. Little kids trying to tell people to stop doing drugs or to start riding how everyone else is riding. Pathetic.
ReplyDeleteHope that Maxime Legrand don't sell His parts to. It would be so sad if he quit...
ReplyDeleteSHUT THE F*CK UP EVERYONE! Weed has absolutely nothing to do with that. Everyone on Addict smokes weed, but did they all quit? I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteHonestly guys..I dont think this has anything to do with smoking weed..lol
ReplyDelete"SHUT THE F*CK UP EVERYONE! Weed has absolutely nothing to do with that. Everyone on Addict smokes weed, but did they all quit? I don't think so."
ReplyDeleteno Everyone ^^ Jd only Drunk I think???
This means we won't see Stan in Europe anymore btw... He was quite great at motivating us to go big at airs, that sucks. Whatever... Why do you guys make such a fuss on inside scooter blog while we got plenty of good videos that make good news. This website pretty looks like a gossip magazine now. Get back to true riding!
ReplyDeleteI thought that of any sponsor for it to actually work for Stan it would be addict. Cause addict is all about being legit and no frills just straight up good riders, good parts, and good brotherhood. Addict sounded different cause all of the guys were kind of alike and they all had a brotherhood sort of and not just a professional relationship. If any sponsor/team was gonna work out with Stan I thought it'd be addict.
ReplyDeleteLong time coming, ripped waaay to many people and as said. I just don't enjoy his riding anymore. only rad riding i do like is cory and bonner..
ReplyDeleteBalt, people are just voicing their opinions and discussing the topic...which is something we encourage on IS...as long as people aren't just posting to be complete dicks.
ReplyDeletestan is one of the chillest people in the world but it crossed my mind the other day were does he get money ?? still i got mad respect for that guy and i wont be suprised if he shapes up and they let him back on
ReplyDeletejesus...
ReplyDeletestan doesnt do any "drugs" that are hard to quit. kids are so brainwashed now days.
he seems chill i wana go overseas and cut his bars down to stocks and teach him turndowns <3<3
ReplyDeleteIm sure being a pothead had a part in it mebbe not all of it but he was pretty wacked. And he deserved it. He was being an Ass
ReplyDeletetoby
ReplyDeletescooters are going down for sure!
ReplyDeleteWEED DOESNT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ADDICT KICKING HIM OFF. WEED DOESNT PERMANENTALLY CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE. YOUR JUST FUNNY FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS AND DONE. BACK TO NORMAL. PEOPLE ARE TOO NIEVE THESE DAYS...
ReplyDeleteStan just needs to learn to be honest to the company and respect their decisions. Like you said, they gave him chances, so in the future he needs to respect the chances he's given, and do as they say.
ReplyDelete"quote"he seems chill i wana go overseas and cut his bars down to stocks and teach him turndowns <3<3
ReplyDeleteu want to teach stan smirrnof turndowns, i think your the one who needs to stop smoking pot ?
WEED RUINED MY LIFEE!
ReplyDeleteStan will be Stan! Just think about it though. If no one wants him on there team more chances for the rest of us! Its a dog eat dog world. Thats the truth of it.
ReplyDeleteLike addict said a lot before, they see their riders as a family. But i think a family with principes and ripping off people like stan may have done must not be one of em fo sure !
ReplyDeleteLook at all you guys saying weed is fine. Stupid kids. Some of you are the leaders in the sport. Iv seen heaps of people spend all their money on weed cause their hooked on it. Grow up pot heads.
ReplyDeleteI met him Myself. and i loved him he was heaps chill, but to rip people off is disrepectful and selfish. maybe an attitude adjustment and some morals would help.
ReplyDeleteKinda demeaning isnt it?
ReplyDeleteWOW where is he going to get his money now,a real job like normal people bahahaha, to pay the people off he ripped off. But first he should accept the fact he got kick off instead of saying he quit,time to face up pay up & say goodbye to scooters.
ReplyDeletei like weed
ReplyDeletewho gives a shit about peoples issues and unfortunate events..
ReplyDeletelet them sort their own messes out
hahahahaha this post made my day
ReplyDeleteummm well looks likes Addict gives a shit about issues & unfortunate events, good to see that they have repect.At the end of the day Addict wins & Stan is the loser.
ReplyDeletei hope he stays on rad
ReplyDeletescoooters are soooo funnny lol you guys need to stop living online and get a life :)
ReplyDeleteill destroy any of you on any ramp and you lil biiiaches can hate all day and quit tryin to suck addicts nuts! its not as sick as you think
-stan
Stan the above comment just proves to everyone your intelligence & attitude is of a 15yo, man don't advertise that your a fool.After your comment, PROPS to ADDICT.
ReplyDeletecocky bastard
ReplyDeletestan, your not very good at all, stop thinking you are, your just a drugged up low life mate
ReplyDeleteSounds like he scored weed with my money I gave him for 2 of his sig wheels.
ReplyDeletehe probably did get weed with it as well as with many of others money he has ripped off
ReplyDeleteyou fools are ridiculous lol
ReplyDeletequit your online bitching this is all a joke
Stan, you need to pay back my mother her money after you decieved her into thinking you were helping out cory from RAD, but all you did was go spend it on your car and smoked the rest. dude i thought you cool and i loved chillin and ridin with you in the states, i had no issues with you smokin or whatever thats your choice, but this is the real world, you cant just take peoples shit... support your habit with your own money.
ReplyDeleteRory Coe
wow stan your messed up
ReplyDeleteaddict deserves a better rider than you
Rory sorry man I was hateing on her mum cause I gave her a order (no money involed) for HIC crow bars, I thought she was just making excuse's all the time. She should of told me Stan was a low life & stole her money.
ReplyDeleteyou guys dont even know me or what happened just chill out and see what happens!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletesee what happens!!!! wow look out con man stan is after yo all.
ReplyDeleteStan you got fucked... hard... still my boy tho smoke weed all day niggga!!!!
ReplyDeletestan needs money, addict doesnt pay him so he sells parts for money and gets kicked off the team?
ReplyDeletestan is the man. he deserves to be a paid rider.
ReplyDeletewho else has an 80,000$$$$ hospital bill because of scooters?? and to all the kids saying shit about him smoking weed.. you r retarded it isnt herion or speed. its a fucking plant that is about to be legal haha wow you guys are 5 yrs old and youve seen to many above the influence commercials.
keep shreddin stan, someone will appreciate you enough soon.
This is why I look up to Twan and Radtke these guys are role model riders.
ReplyDeleteStan does sell scooter,but he keeps the money and the parts, in my way of thinking thats stealing.Stan should get a full time job,join a health fund, pay his 80,000$$$ hospital bill,then pay for his own habit out of his own pocket, not other riders or sponor's money.
ReplyDeleteall addict wants from this is publicity so fuk em thats all they really have!
ReplyDeleteeveryone shut the fuuk upp about me needing money!!! i never fuking asked addict to pay mee lol they wanted me to film a video part without traveling like they all did for the street trips!!!! and thats where i pissed them off when i asked why do i not get to go to any contests and sick parks this year
ReplyDelete-stan
this whole inside shiit is just saaad
im not saying he wants money.. i was saying that breaking his jaw shows much dedication.. i appreciate his riding and what he has done for this sport, so maybe all of you should have some respect. because thats what everyone should be doing instead of gossiping up this blog.
ReplyDeleteJake there are riders all around the world who have had injurys from riding scooter's its part of the sport.You may appreciate Stan riding, but I think you are missing the point,read why he was kick off Addict, Stan didn't repect the amount of people he stole money from nor did he repect Addict or any other spono's, nor did he repect the sport. What has he done for the sport other than give it a bad name & abuse it for his own habit.Gossiping don't think so, its facts & opinions.
ReplyDeleteWhoever the anonymous poster is above. He is speaking about 300% of pure truth. I'm amazed that there are actually SMART people in this sport. Just a pity he is remaining anonymous.
ReplyDeletethe only ppl that know about what he did wrong are in the sport.
ReplyDeletestan attracts ANY and EVERY person to scooters that see's him step on one. period!! so before you exploit your loose lips about him having a negative effect on the sport... you know what, fuck it, don't. and what happened between him and the peeps is 100% between them and not 1% involving any of us on a blog.. and that my friends is 300% truth!
it doesnt matter mann i feel like a celeb hearing all this new shiit about me lol its all good doe ill just wait this one outt :)
ReplyDeleteIDIOT!
ReplyDeleteFuck, Stan IS THE BEST SCOOTER RIDER OUT THERE! He deserves to be pated! Big mistake Adiict! Stan is fucking RAD!
ReplyDeleteBullshit, Stam stop the weed shit, i respect you and look up to you, but your the biggest shit head in scooters, geez you ripp off sherrie coe you dog, then you come on here bragging about your abilities, so F*CK OFF!!!!
