So there was supposed to be this huge fight in Vegas, I think it was like 97 or something. Shaun Palmer and Simon Woodstock both had this "clown" thing going on and I think it went like this. They both showed up at a skate park with clown gear on and someone said "one clown must go down" or some shit like that. Anyway people got the idea that they should box for publicity in Vegas at the snowboard trade show. The fight got more hype than anyone could have imagined and I had dealers changing flight plans just to be there for the fight. Then we're in Vegas and Jurg Kunz - the owner of Palmer, yes someone else actually owned Palmer what a shock - Jurg shows up and is like Palmers hand is all busted up from punching some mexican dude who was messing with his box van in his front yard. Now he can't fight. So now Vans is pissed because they have a shit ton of money into it, Shaun is pretty much over all the hype and BS of this so ling story short they get Mike Muir from Suicidal Tendencies to step in for Shaun. Mike gets his ass handed to him because Simon has been training with a welter weight champ of something for like 3 months but it was fun none the less. We had VIPS and it was a good party.
Classic Shaun Palmer style - fuck everyone else and do what he wants to do.
