    Scumbug’s not running and we don’t know why, so we took it to the pros at EMPI to get it back to fighting shape to race on THIS vs THAT Off-Road.

    • @Tech_-on1ou
      @Tech_-on1ou 6 місяців тому

      Not exactly a 1:1 comparison, but I get the sentiment. Escapist fucked up by firing Nick, it just happened to work out in the way that the entire video production team really rallied behind him and threw their middle fingers up as a unit and created Second Wind. It was swift and targeted. The downfall of hoonigan is slow and as far as I know, they haven't "forced" anyone out, and the OGs don't seem to have any plans to reunite under their own independent banner, atleast not for the time being.
      If WheelPros had canned Scotto after Ken's death, they probably would have all rallied together and done the same, but that's not how it's gone down.
