Seems strange to think that you might be riding a Deck, that you think is from one company.. when in reality, it was designed for a completely different company, doesn't it??
Well, I will say there are very very few people that will understand the video posted below. No, not because it's in French, but because you guys just won't understand how Marcel (Owner of Eagle-Sport, District, Addict) is. Though I think some of his former "employees" and riders might. Kevin Demay breaks it all down in a very professional manner. From his start in the sport, to starting District and Addict, to the very end. Finally onto the beginning of Ethic.
It's a lengthy video, but I don't think anyone will be turning it off until it's done. You really get a sense of what District is all about. Of what happened with the Owner behind the scenes, and more.
Also enjoy a sneak peek of the Ethic products hopefully set to drop before the end of 2012.
Watched the whole thing, read every word. I am boycotting district now, no matter how cheap and strong their products are, he designed them, he can make better aswell.
ReplyDeleteMarcel has always been a shady piece of shit. Just finally it is coming out so everyone knows it. Can't believe he fuck over Micro like that.. and Dissidence.. and Kevin ... BULLSHIT
ReplyDeletei want to throw my district complete in the trash now.
ReplyDeleteSuport rider based companies. BOYCOT District! Kevin is Legit Marcell is Shit
ReplyDeleteI just wish I had seen this a few weeks ago before buying a District deck, I would have gone with Addict for sure
ReplyDeleteI really hope the team is good and success for the company. Personally I'm psyched for the "innovations".
ReplyDeleteMaybe BenJ on the team?!
100% support Ethic.
ReplyDeletedefinitely a video i feel that everyone needs to see.. companys like district wont last and will only bring scootering down in the long run
ReplyDeleteIts stuff like this that get me thinking, why doesn"t our sport have individual companies that make specific parts like tilt for pegs or Magray for brakes insted of other brands out their that sell the same stuff evrey other company does and if they did that each company can focus on makeing a certain part better and more durable and their will be a ton of more riders out their because insted of getting on just one team the rider can have multiple sponsorships like for wheels, clamps, or even headsets.
ReplyDeleteglad you guys aren't rocking a district link on the side.
ReplyDeletewhoever runs the district fb page posted some sort of retaliation post, that i blew up with this video along with other people ranting... it was taken down within 7 minutes at least. BUT i got a screen shot of it. It is in the Ethic thread on SR.
Good, Nick. More people need to be aware of stuff that goes down behind the scenes with companies like District and Eagle.
ReplyDeleteHow the fuck can people still WANT to ride for District. This is an embarassment... anyone that rides for and supports this company, is honestly someone that should be embarassed..
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% anyone that calls themselves a real rider, and who says they love riding, but also rides FOR District.. is worthless in my opinion. All you're doing is supporting Marcel, and taking your orders from him. And he is a piece of shit after reading this.
DeleteFull support to Dissidence and Ethic !
ReplyDeleteDon't let money kill the sport...
I asked Marcel what he thinks on this post, and the video.. and his exact response was "I dont give a shit" LOLOLOL
ReplyDeleteI legit just threw my District in the trash.
ReplyDeleteGood man.
Deleteethic's got my support, i can wait a little while longer for a new deck.
ReplyDeleteSo is addict still going to be around? Or is it going to evolve into Ethic?
ReplyDeletethis video be the truth, rider owned companies are where the true inovation is at. luckyscoot should go back to rider designed parts...
ReplyDeleteI've sadly had the inconvenience of having to deal with Marcel as a team rider for Eagle and District way back in the day. And I chuckle with this video because Kevin hit every single point. I've always boycotted District, Eagle and as of recently Addict because of the poor quality in their decks. But hearing about Micro and Dissidence angers me a bit more. It's just sad how Marcel takes advantage of so many good people, team and designers/brand owners alike, and when they get wise to his true self, he screws them or makes it so that you want to leave. This was the situation with my sponsorships. Marcel is an unprofessional piece of shit. Screwing the riders/brands that are in this sport for the right reasons.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Kevin. I'd love to get the chance to chill with you one day. Until then, keep doing what you're doing and fuck the rest who doubt or try to destroy you. Good luck with the brands and I wish you guys the best.
On another note, I saw Monky riding the new Ethic parts and they are pretty sick. A lot of you naive kids will see this video and think it's just a rebranded Addict, but I can tell you with confidence that it definitely IS NOT! Even the downtubes look completely different, better. And the drop outs not only look stronger, but actually are.
wish i saw this BEFORE i bought and broke those shitty district bars haha
ReplyDeleteyeah me too. snapped my district bars quicker than i snapped my razor ultra pro bars
Deletehahaha i say lets all go and post the link to this video on the district facebook.
ReplyDeleteheres the link to what they said on there fb post to the screenshot nick took http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j110/nickloves2ride/Screenshot2012-08-13at114854PM.png
Fuck District, Fuck Eagle-Sport, Fuck Addict (not the riders) and Fuck Marcel. That is one person we DO NOT NEED in our fucking sport. Oh.. and FUCK.
ReplyDeleteDistrict is realy done i no more stuff About The hole shit because i have work there
ReplyDeleteOkay So EVERYONE is blowing up and turning on district and eagle saying they are shit and wanting to boycot the fsp group and what not cause someone makes a half an hour video on talking shit? use all see one side of the story and yet all of you automatically make up your mind just off a single french man talking for 25min and only hearing one side of the story, if you ask me you are all puppets and sheep. wouldnt you want to hear both sides of the story way up the evidence and then take a step back and create your own conclusion yourself? instead of letting someone do this for you? Personally I think its pathetic, but that is my own opinion and i guess know one else knows the other side of the story. As me saying that I am not in the right position to tell the other side of "the untold story", But honestly from what I can see I could make a video in response and twist and spin shit to and 99% of you would turn around and say hey district isnt to bad after all, so what i am getting to is wait until we do react with the true facts before you start bashing on the company and most of all the riders....
ReplyDeletePS I know this isnt a side you have ever seen from me before, but to wake up thinking they you a well respected in the scooter community for so long and then BOOM it blows up in your and now apparently IM a piece of shit for riding for them? can you see my point of view? sorry and thank you...
Chris, you're my homie, and you know that. So I'm not even going to get on you for anything dude.
DeleteBut this isn't just one french man dude. This is countless Eagle/District riders that came before you.. There is a reason he lost his entire US EagleSport Team, including myself as US District and Eagle Manager, a position I held for almost 2 years.
I don't think anyone should be blasting YOU guys as the riders, because lets face it, most of you do just that, Ride. But I do think everyone is entitled to decide their own opinion of the person who owns these companies. Which is Marcel.
You know what I mean?
Before i begin i want everyone to know i am reacting on behalf of myself, not district or further more the FSP group. Stories are twisted and lies are spread, and the easily decievable (all of you) believe.
ReplyDeletefor example george bush says theres a war on terror, and everyone automatically believes it because the TV said it.
Another example, the TV says neil armstrong was the first person to step on the moon, yes there is video evidence... but what makes that source 100% reliable... in your eyes "its valid because the government said so" but when you take a closer look, basic science shows that in fact the flag was waving, funny that when theres no air in space.
in conclusion my point is, you all jumped to the conclusion that kevin was telling the truth... behind a camera, and only a select few have met him in person, any man could sit behind a camera and spin a story like that and you would react in the very same way. Its actually sad to see so much arrogance. You all never stopped once to think that there may be another side to the "story" you all religiously believe.
I think that attacking the riders of district is childish aswell... you dont know us, we all love riding just as much as any other one of you.
So please, open your minds to all possibilities, be aware, don't be quick to judge.
Same to you Rory as I said to Chris.
DeleteAttacking the riders is in fact wrong..
But some of us, myself included have seen sides of Marcel, and trust me.. you knew me when I was working for Eagle, and if I even decided to tell a LITTLE bit of the stuff that went on behind the scenes between Marcel and Myself? You would be seeing a lot more comments about hating him/and his companies than you are seeing right now.
But I got no reason to further tell the truth about Marcel and his ways of doing "business". Like I knew all along, and like what is happening now.. He's doing just find digging his own grave.
And I know he's done a lot for you over the years, and I know you might be one of the "lucky" ones that he hasn't completely fucked over. But for everyone one of you, there's about 10 of us who he has fucked over, and shown his true colors to.
So, while I am sorry that riders are bashing you guys as the riders of the company. I'm not sorry that people are finally seeing the true side of the person behind these companies.
even you believe this is the truth and nothing but the truth? steven cmon... i thought you were a lot wiser than that. i dont care what happened between you and marcel... some people are just not meant to work together... simple. dont let things between you and marcel cloud your decision mate.
DeleteMythbusters proved america landed on the moon, please tell me you arent going to become the next australian conspiracy theorist
DeleteUmm things still move in space, asteroids, space junk, telescopic poles and flags
DeleteSo u believe an alternative version you saw/read aswell.... lol
your a sad little head
DeleteAlso this comment will probably not be approved because its controlled by the writers of this blog. but the whole point of a writer is to argue both sides of the story, weigh up the pros and cons.. then again you dont even know the other half and you all ran off to make a one sided decision. no one pays advertising for your personal opinions and comments.
ReplyDeleteSteven T i am especially disappointed in you. i thought you were a great writer and i always followed your posts, until i seen you post this. Its obvious you let your personal opinion cloud your writing and you failed to question the other half of the story... sorry mate but you just lot a heap of respect bro.
Deleted my original reply to this comment. Because honestly, people don't need to know details from me about how dirty Marcel can be. I'm sure enough people have their own stories.
DeleteBut Rory, the fact that you say you're losing respect for ME? Haha, that's unfortunate dude. But doesn't phase me in the least bit. Look around dude.. You're one of the only people here defending Marcel. So while you're losing respect for me, everyones losing respect for your boss and his companies.
Marcel also knows damn well I can provide as much proof as I want about some of the shady things he's done in this industry, and no doubt will continue to do.
And you being around to watch District grow dude? Shit, I still got the email from 2009 where we chose the name District from a list of like 25+ names... so trust me, I've been here from the beginning, and I know enough to have made my decision about Marcel. And it looks like now everyone else is starting to open their eyes too.
It's just taking you a little longer.. but it's all good.
I along with some others (fernando young, hep greg etc.) were fortunate enough to watch district grow, way back before we even had a name for the brand! and we can all give you our word that this video is NOT how things went down. Period.
ReplyDeleteRory, last I remember, Greg and Fernando amoungst A rather large list of riders got screwed out of money that Marcel pocketed while exploiting those said riders. Do you really think that's right?!?! And how about Tyler Bonner not getting a signature wheel, one of the most decorated riders on the planet, but you get a signature wheel and deck?!?! No... There's no favoritism there...
DeleteI understand you want to stick up for the companies you ride for, but I'll be there to tell you I told you so when Marcel decides to turn on you like a dog.
And nobody said we hated the team, we are boycotting the COMPANY. Chris is a homie, always will be, along with a handful of other guys who ride for those companies. You can ignore the kids posts, but you shouldn't be brushing off ours. We've had plenty of experience with sponsorships and know when they don't work. Just so happens that with 3/4 of the riders who left, it was because of Marcel.
lmao Steve needs to stop trying to be everyones friend...your being too nice man.
ReplyDeleteAs for Rory and Chris these are the onyl 2 people sticking up for Marcel and District, and OH LOOK AT THAT, they happen to ride for those companies lmao. Fuckiin butt puppets.lol
yes greg we ride for these companies... pretty obvious point but what does that prove? if anything that means i have seen the real story and know exactly everything that has happened in the brand from the start. you will all see soon.
Deleteand again i mentioned i was posting on behalf of myself not the brands.
I see your point mate and yeah I know I havnt been behind the sense for as long as you and those 10 other people. But to wake up thinking your on a legit as team and me riding for 8 years to finally think I have a good position in the sport after trying for so long and then BOOM turns around on you just like that :( and Greg I have no idea who you are mate and don't really care what you call me and what not but at the end of the day if you feel better deep down inside calling me a "butt puppet" and if that makes you feel like a man and makes you sleep at night then keep the hatred going brother it just makes me want to ride harder then ever ;)
ReplyDelete@Rory and @Chris im really not sure why youre trying to defend him, in case you havent noticed Marcel is very WIDELY disliked. He's fucked over many many people, business side and rider side. Unfortunately karma is a bitch. Everyone on Addict seems to agree 100% with whats been voiced here so I dont see why we should believe anything you guys are saying.
ReplyDeleteIn a way I feel bad for Rory Coe not Chris as much though. Rory seems like he has been actually bought by Marcel, and will try and defend that scum bag to the very end. shits sad
ReplyDeleteWhy not post your name dude? what do you have to hide? i actually feel bad for you that youve been won over by this story... showing so much arrogance. I have said twice i am reacting as myself, not defending marcel, im defending my own reputation. I havent been baught by marcel, i make my own decisions and judgements he does not control me, no one does. you on the other hand along with pretty much everyone on this page... dont. you waiteduntil someone made a one sided story and you all followed immediatly.
DeleteJeremy Petropoulos
DeleteHonestly, i have the up most respect for all the riders who ride for district, eagle etc or anyone trying their hardest to promote and progress the sport, i've been riding and doing grinds :) since i was a little kid but around 4 years ago is when i really saw it as a sport (and i remember fondly those razor pro and jd bug days), so i'm some what of an OG rider (always wanted to say that) and personally i don't believe we should be hating or boycotting anyone or any company, i haven't bought district parts for the simple fact that they don't cater to my personal preferences and i honestly don't care for what wheels of brands i ride as long as i'm enjoying what i do. Although i do tend to favor rider owned and ran companies. As they do, do their best to support and give back to the sport.But what im trying to say here is, Rory Coe nor Christ Hart are who we know as Marcel, so i really don't understand why they're receiving so much hate, Yes i know they are defending/supporting Marcel and possibly for reasons only known to them or maybe those reasons are public knowledge, regardless stop giving riders hate. also, i really feel for Kevin, although it does not concern me, i do not know Marcel so its not my right to judge nor make assumptions, and i do wish kevin all the best for his new up and company as it is understandably incredibly difficult to launch a product/ brand. Finally, again just don't give riders hate for being on the team or supporting their boss, maybe its different for them and they have a genuinely trustful relationship with their boss... i don't know but no, and i mean no one deserves abuse for theirs bosses (this sounds ridiculous) history. like what do they have to do with Marcel's past and dealings/fallout's with Kevin???
"@Anonymous" I am not asking you to believe anything I am saying I am just speaking my point of view, but its funny that you say that "should you believe anything we say"? cause it seems like thousands of people automatically believed Kevin, if you were in my position would you attempt to defend your reputation? or sit back and watch it crash and burn to the ground? after riding for 8 years talking to little kids and replying to most comments and riding as hard as I can so I put myself through countless injury's sticky situations with security guards and so on, To make a couple of videos for the world to see and hopefully enjoy and then to turn back on me and the riders watch everyone hate on me and the rider because NO one liking my boss Marcel "something I can not control" I think we have every right to defend myself and the company I ride for don't you think? Or should I carry on like a sheep and only listen to one side of a story and let it make my conclusion then go and attack every rider on the company?
ReplyDeleteThis fits with a lot of what I've heard about District. I know they didn't pay BenJ any royalties on his signature deck even though that was part of their agreement which is why he left.
ReplyDeleteFUCK District,fsp,Eagle,and Marcel! This is exactly what we don't want in the sport. SELFISHNESS and GREED. To the riders of those brands; I've heard enough and sorry you had to be involved in this shit, but your brand is shit. I am definitely boycotting these companies. Not that it's gonna be a sacrifice, because the parts are shit anyways because Marcel couldn't give a fuck!
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, kevin is one of the smartest people i know, he speaks with his heart and wants all of us riders to make it, i know that for a fact, ive spoken to him plenty of times, riders must always be in charge at the end of the day, or the sport will be uncontrolable to the point where it could crash, that again is onlyassumptiuon, a great one because there are a lot of experiences in which a rider gets screw over, but lets not predict the future, lets make it
ReplyDeleteas for riders under marcel, good luck and keep your eyes open always, do what u have to do and have fun, ride,and remember the #! most important thing is to ride and feel to ride,do not let others who dont share the same passion blind you,
let us pros push towards the future we want, the more of us who push together the stronger the future will be for us, regardles if we are on different teams, that doesnt mean anything. anyone who loves riding and wants to ride for as long as your body can handle it without having any finacial worries, your on my team.
Its so fucking funny that people are THIS STUPID to not know how Marcel is.
ReplyDelete@RoryCoe, I know Marcel has his hand up your ass and uses you as a puppet.. but can you explain why, HepGreg, Jessica Boland, BenJ Friant, Monky, and COUNTLESS other riders who had signature products... LEFT Eagle/District.. because they weren't getting paid what they were promised?
YOU gotta open your eyes dude. How much money have you been paid to stay this loyal? Dont try and deny it dude, I know people in Aus that told me some shit about you and your relationship with Marcel.
One thing I notice that totally makes Kevin's story legit is that only two of the 20 or so riders are trying to stop this. If this story is wrong, wouldn't the WHOLE team put their input in this??
ReplyDeleteExactly!!!
DeleteAnd look at the District Facebook... "Sherrie Coe" is Rorys mom. Even she is involved and posting for District, so OBVIOUSLY Rory and his mom are getting paid by Marcel, which I heard from some other people is true.
Of course tjheyre gonna try and say its all lies haha
yeah i saw that haha. so obvious. @rory coe and chris hart...Come at me bros!
DeleteThis is so funny. I have hated the man for years. He bashes every company, fires off rude and mean comments on his Facebook pages at kids, completely lied to the worked about the V1 deck and the number that broke ( lol 1% my ass), benj was promised the world and insteadl profited off his name, even ripped off the graphic designer of the products.
ReplyDeleteAny company that has "simply the best wheels" and the most imitated wheels in the world" is a complete fuck head in my book.
One thing I will say is when posting don't let your comments bring down the people around him. It's their job and passions. So direct your hate as marcil and leave the team and staff alone.
Safe to say everyone I have met that knows or has done business with marcil all says the same thing. This is from perents to distributors.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love it how cory and Chris all have not said he is a nice guy and not just after filling his bank account.
They are just defending themselves.
I am kind of wondering if anyone that has worked with him, be it a company owner or rider.. will come in here and say anything true or genuine about him, and it will actually be something good.
ReplyDeletelol at this point, I'm guessing.. No.
Rory first you need to remember you have made Me, Jackson Manzie, and James bull all leave district/eagle with your shitty managing. Apparently i wasn't even on the team you said i was and for over a year was mislead. I constantly waited months for parts, along with james bull and we both were never invited on a trips or tours, ( even your mum and sister came on one). Also its funny how the reason i could never get parts was because Marcel would never reply to you, if that was the real reason anyway.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^^^^^^^ whats up
DeleteMarcel is kind, genuine, well mannered man that needs to be treated with some sort of respect... lol jk hes sucking every last dime out of scootering he can by using riders to attract more income to himself.
ReplyDeleteJeremy Petropoulos
ReplyDeleteEveryone should just Clam Down take the video for wht is worth learn from it im on neither side nor do i want to be. its just an inside look into the companies, their owner(s) and their riders, seriously why is everyone emitting so much passion, Kevins over it YOU ALL SHOULD BE TOO.
peace out
like HarmonyRide(FSPgroup) - same shit - Marcel screwed so many people out...
ReplyDeleteI don't believe everybody should be calling the district riders names and shit, its dumb were not in kindergarten, we should act mature if we don't like the company that's our own choice, don't buy their products or support them, i think what rory and chris are doing is fine because they are only defending themselves and their reputation. so if your gonna just comment hatred against the fsp group from hearing one side of the story your immature, you dont realize how much that have changed the scooter world, in it for the money or not they got us more recognized as a sport and not some people riding around on a kids toy,I hope 'Ethic' is a good company and prduce good parts.
ReplyDeleteHow about instead of just saying that there are two sides to every story and insulting us, why don't you actualy provide the other side?
ReplyDelete-Brian
@Rory Coe: I cannot tell if you are mistaking the word 'arrogance' for 'ignorance.'If so, that is somewhat ironic. If not, my bad. Although my guess is that the former is most likely the case.
ReplyDelete@Chris Hart: 'Use' is not the plural of 'you.' 'You' does not have a plural form, but do not panic as there are alternatives that you can utilise while still avoiding the use of non-existent words.
I definitely agree that the company's riders are not at fault in this situation, in fact I would even go as far to say that they may soon fall victim to Marcel's abuse, and should view this video as an opportunity or even a warning rather than an attack.
In my opinion, the facts spoken by Kevin in this video must be the truth. I think anyone still in doubt should take a step back and consider the following situation: if Kevin had not been screwed over by Marcel as has stated in the above video, and Marcel was in actuality a really genuine guy who treated Kevin well, then why would Kevin leave the company and go on to make a 25 minute long video exposing Marcel's misdeeds?
Rory is only acting as the "voice" of Marcel.. trust me. He used to try and make ALL of us do it when we were working for him/part of the Team. I bet half my Team riders remember that VERY WELL..
ReplyDeleteIt's just sad that Rory is so bought by Marcel. I mean come on, even Luke Maffesoni just busted him out, saying that sometimes Rory's Sister and MOM were going on Team Trips.. so naturally Rory was getting a LOT of special Treatment from Marcel. So he is trying to stay loyal to him right now by defending him, which looks really sad..
I remember it vividly, Steven. If he was a true "businessman" he would act as such rather than making it personal with decisions that he knows would fuck a lot of people over. Specially people like Kevin who were there from day one who practically made the company what it is. I say "people like Kevin" because I know there are a shit ton of riders right beside Kevin who got screwed as well.
DeleteMy all time favorite comment directly from Marcel's fingers via e-mail. This was after basically the entire US team told him his District parts are bending and snapping within a couple sessions. We all provided solutions to the problems we were having because we know what we are talking about and what we need... Oh yeah, and this isn't word for word, but it's generally what he said.
"My European riders have been testing these parts for months and nothing has happened to those parts. Maybe you guys are just riding them wrong." - Marcel
All time funniest thing any company owner/RND Manager has ever said about one or more of his TEAM RIDERS. If we're riding them so wrong, why were we on the team in the first place?!?! He sent them over for testing, and we did exactly that, well, for a day or two before they snapped or bent. Sadly enough, I bent the District steel forks steertube in TWO TRICKS! And not even on tricks that would allow any stress. Barspin to manual to tuck no hander out on a foot high manual pad. And I think it's safe to say that I'm not a sketchy rider. Riding it wrong, hahahahaha, still makes me crack up.
I don't think Kevin's intention was for the community to turn on each other. Riders shouldn't attack riders.
ReplyDeleteRory and Chris are my boys no matter what, they could be on barbie scooters for all I care. Follow your heart, if their heart says District then let it be.
There's so much trash talking now a days against riders when everyone's just trying to be involved in the sport they love.
Evaluate the information you hear and see and compare it to the actions that actually take place.
that's it
decide for yourself and let that set your path
Please shut the fuck up... you're trying to talk like people care what you think. And no one does..
DeleteKing,
DeleteRiders are not "turning on each other" No ones really bashing Chris. Chris said his part, and that's that.
People are going after Rory because he is trying to make it seem like Marcel is in fact a good person, which let's face it he's not. You even know it yourself. You're just trying to stay neutral, which is cool.
But no ones turning on each other. If ANYTHING this is bringing the community of RIDERS closer, and pushing out the people that are only in this sport to fuck it up, like Marcel and his companies.
^ haha right on greg.
ReplyDeleteFinally made it to the fucking bottom. I remember fighting with marcel on Scooter resource over Phoenix saying American made is the best. Pretty much only time I met him. Also never liked any of their parts. Its funny that coedie wasnt mentioned once lmao.
ReplyDeleteIt's no surprise that piece of shit Marcel hasn't made a public statement yet. Because he KNOWS all of this is true.
ReplyDeleteIf this is such a one sided story then why hasn't another side to the story been told?
ReplyDeleteIt's not a one sided story. This is the TRUE story.. and there's nothing Marcel, or his what.. 2 riders that actually like him? Can do or say about it.
DeleteFuck marcel we all know his shit , I have heard form maybe of his riders , he didn't pay Ben j for his deck or money for his wheels or for riding , his just all about the money and everyone knows that , get over it people this nothing new that everyone already didn't know.
ReplyDeleteJulio Oceguera
Hi every one, just a word by a french man, yea another, i know Kevin since french id, and befor, i've often speak with him and i try to do many things for what is our sport today, then, i speak with marcel, BenJ, Kevin, heard things and learn bad things from every where, as i work for my local shop, i got some information from the sellers that you can't get from people, and i learn how Marcel was ... a shit, i don't have to see this video to see what's going on, but just, you rider, just see. What is this v4 scooter ? the ugliest things i've already seen ! a poor bar that many friends broke, a deck that Benj try for Micro and he just said that it was shit so Micro don't make it ... so just see, you don't a to know as well Marcel to know how Marcel is ... And if you can, YOU riders from district, as you said, make a reponse if this is shit, we are waiting for you, we want to know how marcel fuck you ! why is only rory coe paid and got signature part ? ? not only because Marcel personaly knox sherrie coe ? I don't spread things on yours back guy, i want to know what are you thinking of, but i know that you can't say anything except that you have been paid haha ! but Why every body was out of district ? why people like Kevin spraid things like that on district ? he don't have to say that to get money so don't say that he is liing because he don't have to ...
ReplyDeleteI'm Mathis Heurtaux, And i see District grow up, and i can tell you that district will go donw ;) good luck guy, i hope you will be good with district but this will be with out me =)
Steve Quote:Attacking the riders is in fact wrong..What about a MUM of the rider's? Why is my name even on this site & why am I getting disgusting & degrading threats from people who make up fake face book accounts & send through a message.To clear a few things up Taylor's quote: so OBVIOUSLY Rory and his mom are getting paid by Marcel, which I heard from some other people is true. Don't believe everything you hear, why the hell would I get paid? TO STEVE & LUKE Yes I do attend trips away with the AUST International Rider's Yes Marcel paid for MY air fare, my daughter who has nothing to do with scooter's paid her owe way. Over in Aust you need to have a full driver licence's & be over 25 years of age to be able to hirer & drive a car/van. My daughter & myself paid for our own food & accom. MATHIS QUOTE:Marcel personaly knox sherrie coe ? I have NEVER been out of Aust, I have NEVER seen Marcel in real Life. For the sick people sending messages have enough cuts to put your real name to it, as I am sure the 2 Addict rider's you have mentioned in your low sick comments would put a end to your sick mouth even if they do hate on me, they have more respect than you will ever have.
ReplyDeleteSherrie Coe.
BITCH!
DeleteLMAO the only people sticking up for Marcel are literally Rory and his Mum, and she just admitted that he has paid her lol. This is becoming pathetic.....
ReplyDeleteTaylor ??
ReplyDeleteSo what you are saying in your mind. I should take 12 days away from my own life, drive the team around and pay for my own air fare. I am sure other people would read my statement & see that the ONLY person I am sticking up for is SHERRIE COE ,2 Addict rider's & bagging out the low life's that have NO cuts to put their correct full name to there sick remarks. This is why I didn't feel comfortable trying to defend MYSELF! Happy days!
Shut up and ride!
ReplyDeleteBOTTOM LINE,
ReplyDeleteIf you cannot honestly say, you YOURSELF know both Marcel and Kevin then you should basically shut your mouth.
If you do know KNOW personally how will you ever know the truth? All you will have done is make the worlds biggest mistake, assume.
Think about it, instead of believing every word he says or what he says, wait till you experience it personally, then you will KNOW truth.
Also, all you who are set to anonymous, What calls for you cowardliness?
If there is more to the story, if there are parts redeeming Marcel and FSP, then why is nobody actually explaining what went down? I'm calling out you, Rory, even Marcel himself to post a legitimate response, with counterpoints explaining the other side of the story. You want people to get the facts straight, to not be "sheeple," your chance is now. I'd love to hear the truth guys.
DeleteI agree. And pretty much only Greg, Steven and myself have any word in this so far since we have experienced it. And in a couple of my posts now, I have warned Rory to watch himself. This is not to trash talk him. But simply a friendly warning. Because honestly, we have been in the same spot he has and then Marcel had shown his true colors.
DeleteHis English was pretty bad, so if he actually meant that you fucked Marcel, that's horrible.
ReplyDeleteI said it above and I will say it again about your son. Tell him to keep his options open and to watch Marcel closely. Because I can guarantee you that Marcel, one of these days, will turn on Rory like a dog. Marcel is a rat. He just hasn't shown you guys his true colors yet. Believe me, everything was awesome when I first started riding for him. But as quickly as I was taken care of, I was getting screwed over too. Once he decides he has no use for Rory, he will chew him up and spit him out. With no care of whether or not Rory has potential to go elsewhere. You guys can see Steven and my posts as trash talk, or as a friendly warning of what we KNOW will occur.
you ALL have no idea! again wait until you hear the real untold story, with plenty of proof. As for you steven, you have no right to say anything about myself, chris or marcel. We know EVERYTHING and soon everyone else will too. you should think before you open your mouth, the same for everyone else.
ReplyDeleteDude... when it's taking your crew...aka 3 people.. this long to get your "come back story" ready..that's proof enough that you guys are just scrambling.
DeleteRead this whole comments list again. Who do you REALLY think you're going to convince? Do you not see how many former District/Eagle riders are IN HERE right now posting about their ACTUAL experiences?
You seem to think these are all just people believing Kevin. No. These are people who have actually dealt with Marcel before. And don't tell me what I have the right to do, and what I have the right not to do lol. You're just starting to sound desperate dude.. not a good look.
District Team quit, and you will be picked up soon enough.
ReplyDeletethe only people defending marcel are the ones being paid by him... haha
ReplyDeleteGeeeeee about time the truth be told ........... my child was screwed over by Marcel and his bunch of puppets......... and be sure they are a bunch of puppets and they are gutless and they are ruthless and they get paid for it and she was screwed out of money she was owed ..geee where did it go ?? And dumped off the team by email so brave...........
ReplyDeletefor fucks sake even Jessica Bolands MOM is in here talking about Marcel is a piece of shit! And Jess represented District and Eagle to the ends of the earth. AND had a signature wheel, that she never got paid for.
DeleteThanks Anonymous Jessica did and was so loyal to those people ans has never said a bad word since and she could if she wants to and has proof of supposedly getting paid for her Sig wheels.....this is my opinion from we have been through and it was horrible to see your child taken advantage of by people you trust....He is a very sad and pathetic man and I hope this is the beginning of the end for him and his companies but I suspect not because there will be 100 little bright eyed riders he will go after and use I just hope that their parents go in eyes open and not trust people as I did to look after your kids. Fortunately Jessica is now sponsored by a fantastic company and is treated well.......all the riders are and they are a family and there is no bullshit and no waiting for parts for 6 months which mysteriously disappear !!!!!!! And by the way to everyone we all have proof of promises broken thanks to social media Jessie being dumped off the team via a gutless email was the best thing that could have happened.........Cheers....

ReplyDeleteWere there contracts given to and signed by the riders saying they were supposed to recieve royalties on signature parts?
Steven worked for District, then behind Districts back he was getting paid by Scooter Zone so District fired him, thats what this is all about.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA that's too funny.
DeleteAsk the owner of Scooter Zone, James. Or Nick Darger...or Dave the owner of DSA if that was really happening.
What a joke. But good try. Hahaha.
For the record, I left District.. I never got "fired" lmao.
And "That's what this is all about."
DeleteUhh.. did you even watch the video......
Dude, Steven left eagle/district because of money owed to him by dsa and eagle/district. We picked him up after as a team manager. Get your facts straight dude
DeleteYou have your facts mixed way the hell up. Before Steven even came to Scooter Zone he was the team manager of Blunt, then left for Scooter Zone. But he was officially gone from District before making any of those moves. But since Steven is a good man, and an even better team manager, he got snagged up, and quick. Good try though, anonymous. You know Marcel? Did he tell you that trash? Sounds like you've been fooled just as bad as us former team riders/managers who were promised plenty with no results...
DeleteHow is this even becoming about me. Haha. Marcel is just trying to take some heat off himself.
DeleteI left the whole "FSP" Group for my own personal reasons, involving DSA, District, and Eagle. Which were all companies I worked for.
I am still friends with the owner of DSA, but not with Marcel. (if you haven't already noticed)
But nah. I never worked for Scooter Zone behind anyones back. Marcel got mad that I simply WENT INSIDE Scooter Zone shops.
I wouldn't be surprised if that "anonymous" IS Marcel lol..
ReplyDeleteI remember him telling me he has posted on ISB as anonymous before a while ago lol.
Ok, one more former District/Eaglesport rider is here to tell you that Marcel's way of doing things is horrible. Honestly, I was shocked when I found out I am not a part of the team anymore. I released another promotional edit two months ago, it got on IS and one week later there appears a video under the name "New Team" on District's channel. What the hell? If he or Helmeri - the current European team manager - think I am not good enough to represent this brand anymore, why won't they at least send me an e-mail beforehand? Why am I finding out about this from my youtube subscriptions? This is ridiculous. I tried to get in touch with Marcel and received an answer yesterday. Yes, TWO MONTHS after the whole thing happened! "About sponsoring/support: we ask at least some communication/edits/comments/exposure from our riders, when it isnt enough then we have to stop support/sponsoring as our brands have to grow and excist by the exposure/avdertising of our teammemebers." - That’s what was in the letter. Could it get any worse? I created my own logistic chain (through Estonia, just because Marcel can't ship to Russia directly for some reasons), worked my hardest to restore brand’s image (it wasn’t that easy since the bitter experience with V1 parts), filmed and edited lots of videos and sold lots of District parts in my country throughout the past two years – and then I receive such message. Feels like I was “chewed up and spitted out” as Josh Toy said. There's a lot more I could tell about how wrong things go while dealing with FSP group but I believe that reading all the comments have already helped you to realise that. Hope that some people will learn from my experience.
ReplyDeleteThis is embarassing for Marcel! Literally ALL his riders and former riders coming in here and spreading the truth.
ReplyDeleteAnd only Rory and his Mom trying to say different LMAO
TOO FUNNY! FUCK MARCEL
Lots of wannabe wise words said here!
ReplyDeleteLots of wannabe wise words said here!
ReplyDeletetill i got that thug life tattoooo on ma chest now tell me can you hear meh
ReplyDeletedance puppets. dance bitch
ReplyDeleteRory is a good guy and you guys are trying to drag him into this. He totally deserves no hate at all. He is just like you and me, a person who is entitled to their own opinion. You all should be ashamed for trying to make this bigger and worse than it needs to be. Grow up people and open your eyes. No one is perfect and you all don't know the full story. Until then your opinions are biased and invalid.
ReplyDeleteYou're not even the same Kevin in the video......... just Marcel probbably trying to be someone to talk good about Rory.
DeleteWe didn't drag him into anything. He got himself involved after we put our experiences up in comments. There are some very valid points being made. In all honesty, if Chris and Rory are happy, then awesome. Read our comments again though, we are warning him of how Marcel has screwed countless amounts of riders out of money that is owed to them, for him exploiting their names for a profit. And as far as I know, Rory is the only rider who has seen a cent from his signature parts. That right there, is special treatment. And is extremely upsetting to the people who deserve the money more than he does. BenJ, Coedie, Fernando, Jess, Hep Greg, the list goes on. We aren't throwing around false information to just be involved in an internet discussion. These are real riders, that were taken advantage of by a snake in the grass.
DeleteOf course I am not the same Kevin as in the video. Is he the only one allowed to be named Kevin? Stupid anon......
DeleteIs it true Marcel and DSA are going to sue IS for slander, its all over the web?
ReplyDeletei just happen to buy a v2i deck and if i knew that this is what they were behind the whole time i would have never bought one. go with products that are designed by rider for riders
ReplyDeleteI think its stupid that you are all going off at rory for sticking up for his sponsor, the reason he is doing that is because Marcel had been good to him and hasn't got fucked over like the rest of you. I think its your fault that you's have all trusted Marcel and didn't put every single thing into contract and just went on trust issues with him hoping that it will all work. Marcel may have Fucked alot of people over and is doing it all the benefit himself as you all say but thats what someone would do if they are a real business man they would try and get as much money as they can and only give back to the people on the team that are smart enough to get the money out of him and work shit out with him properly. If he gaves you all a bit of money and still kept alot of you would all be saying district is where its at Marcel is great blah blah.
ReplyDeleteI think Chris and Rory are doing the right thing standing by Marcel because they haven't been fucked over like the others so they have every right to stand up for him because they are living off Marcel and they are doing well, living good.
I would not boycott District as a company as i like there parts and I don't care what people think. This is My opinion go ahead and abuse me for all your worth because i probably won't even look at this after i post it to see what your replies are I just don't want to see Rory or Chris getting abused for what they stand for and what they believe in.
Adam Bolton.
when you think of a company it should not just lay on there parts, district might have the easiest stuff to ride, but when your giving money to something that is abusing our sport and taking that money out of curculation of the industry then you should think if its RIGHT to support and buy off that company, point blank period for me is that i dont know or need to know marcel, because if the money im giving to him isnt going to helm the sport i love and only lead to weaker and more patetic parts then right there im not buying off him. the great companys are the ones that make heaps of improvments to the sport, Proto is an amazing outstanding company owned by scooterers, they improved the industry with the invention of the scs, and rad with the back sweep bars... i feel great buying from companys like that, ive never like district and can only hope this situation goes no further with anyone else getting abused.
DeleteMichael Hohmann
haha I am completely over this it was like 3 days ago...? and i see its getting me know where so all I would like to say is sorry on my behalf for causing some of this and hope I didnt change anyone's perspective of me and if I have then... haters are gunna hate :)
ReplyDeleteso you're admitting Marcel's a bitch and distict and eagle are unlegit?
DeleteOpen Message To All Companies And Riders:
ReplyDeleteIt seems like I hear bad things about every company. I look forward to the day when our sport is professional. Stop scamming people. Start paying people for their hard work. Invest in the future of our sport. Create and sign contracts that you agree on and abide by!
this is boring, i want to see some blood!
ReplyDeleteI wanna say that JT wasn't me.

wheres marcel threw all of this hiding?
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that this has happened; however, the truth will always come out and I commend Steve/Kevin for sharing such information with the scooting community. Although some might not agree and even may say the opposite, facts are facts and too many people have been deceived by Marcel's passion for money rather than the sport.
ReplyDeleteBy by you f+cking Nederland bitch. All asked was for a Ben J and you didn't do shit.
ReplyDeleteNow the next comp is coming and we're riding Phoenix.. Singing... This is how district went by...
This is how district went by..
If you'd just of paid Ben J this would all have been fixed.. Singing.
