The bellend in black

[generallee]

I just watched an episode of MTV cribs , with none other than the ' Biker In Black' Rick Thorne.
I was chuffed to see a BMX rider on the show, and esp someone witha loooong history in BMx. Id never seen any of Rick's TV 'presenting ' wrk before, so watched with interest.
And about ten minutes later, I unfortunately felt like he came across as a complete and utter tw@t. Talking of the ' bitches' in his outdoor tub, all his 'buddies' hanging out pulling stupid gang signs, covered intattoos , dressing like and wishing they were in Blink 182 or some other crappy Nu Punk band. Actually one of then WAS a member of Blink 182.
Rick's pad was crammed full of the usual sh1t that some Americans think is 'stylish' , like faux antique suits of armour, stupid Chinese dressing tables , and martial arts fake swords, and a big leather bed, all crammed into a teeny tiny hollywood flat. Sorry, I mean hollywood hills paaaad homiiieeeee. But Ithats's just his personal style, so can't slate him really for that. But the way he talked like he was in a rap video constantly, while also trying to give the illusion of humour but just saying the last two words of EVERY sentence in a long drawn out drawl while pulling a face to the camera.... not actually funny.
It was emabarrassing really.
Any one else see it?
He did have a mini ramp on his roof though, which was brilliant!
Just wanted to get that off me chest!

yes a twat indeed

[meticulous]

and then the opposite happens, when someone you always though was a tw@t ends up being a nice person in reality....   

[dannywhiteley]

Like Terry Nutkins....  True story that...

[Dark Diggler]

Thorne is American and is a victim of the persona bestowed upon him by the buying public, not unlike a wrestler.

SGT Bilko was real ya know

Loved reading your description Steve  I don't know what's going on with Him, maybe He's been hanging out with too many FMXers or something   

[bof]

He has always been like that , I thought he was an utter tw@t in the video monkeys might fly.

[OrgasmDonor]

Like Terry Nutkins....  True story that...

didn't he ride for torker?

MTV really is lowering themselves to new depths with the shit they are showing. The latest offering is 'The Life of Ryan' a supposed fly on the wall documentary about Ryan Schekler! Man this thing is sooo bad because they try and act in it but cant  Its all the drama in it that makes it funny.

MTV is utter shite and i can't watch it anymore. Talk about dumbing down the next generation, even the way they all talk make me wanna grab a baseball bat and kill the fooking lot of em

I met Rick Thorne a few times and he was nice enough, but that was before he became "big time".

Does anyone remember the S&M adds featuring "Rip Torn"?
I thought it was a bit harsh giving Rick a hard time, but he does bring most of it on himself

[generallee]

actually alex, youve reminded me of something-
does anyone have scansof the S&M and Homeless 'ad war' they did - you know - Chris Get Off My dick etc etc
and the other company follow ups?
Sure there was a thread on here somewehere...

[subversion]
