    This is a huge deviation from the content I usually post, but it's a topic I have strong feelings about and skateboarding does not need the glamorization of bullying and violence that Mikey Alfred and Illegal Civ is promoting.
    This video doesn't even cover the allegations of Mikey charging one of his former team riders $700k for his clips, deleting criticisms in the comment sections and attacking critics via Instagram Stories, and the weird creepy vibes from the first video shown in this video. Those vibes reminds me of an older college dude hanging around a high school trying to pick up freshmen girls.
    For all the clips covered here, I wasn't there and you weren't there. The only people that know exactly what happened are the people who were actually there. The only things I can comment on are what Illegal Civ has shown themselves and anything else is pure speculation. I do not claim to have a full and factual knowledge of all the altercations here.
    Please post your thoughts about this subject in the comments below.
    PS: Sorry for the bad audio levels, still figuring out OBS.

    Totally agree with ya mate. I honestly couldn’t even finish watching your vid, only because of the footage. I was hyped on IC when it first started. Then immediately noticed the unnecessary filler footage, then completely off my radar. I’m not at all saying they’re the only or first to do it, but it really is highlighted. It’s sad, because so many people are so easily impressionable they might think “this is skateboarding”. Fucken’a…respect my friend.

They didn't put "you can punk children if needed to get them to leave" if they won't leave call the police.

    @Ash-yz2ip ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I agree with certain stuff you said but in a couple clips like the security one where he goes out of his way to touch the kids belongings and knock his hat off I don’t think it’s fair to expect a kid to have better self control than the adult and not react to that.
    Plus it’s pretty obvious what the “ car backing up a little bit” was trying to do. It’s not fair to exaggerate the IC behaviour and minimalise the publics.

    While I do think they are out of order even if there is someone skateboarding on your property you should never grab their board from them. That is stealing someone else’s property. That’s why the guy laughing grabbed it back from him because it’s not his property. He should have called the authorities instead of taking the board.

Seriously who cares. I would've been more concerned if they actually said it to her face which is what you suggested. That would've be dumb. And if someone puts hands on me im putting hands back on them. It doesn't matter if you're skateboarding or biking or trespassing. People can use their words and unless i pose a threat to them or someone else they can use their words.

    Everything seems justifiable not in a civilized way but streets way.
    If you mind your business you should be good but once you touch someone or someone's property you're gonna have a reaction from the streets.
    Guard one, guard should have kept to himself. If the kid would have done of that for no literal reason then kid is a complete jack.
    Car one, the car supposedly called them a n word but then the car literally went into reverse and almost hit a person threatening way so you a get a response of glass breaking.
    The guy grabbing the board by his house shouldn't have called the cops.
    The guy who is giving his opinion isn't streetful as all. Civilized suburban, I would question if he even speeds lol
    Skateboarding is a rough sport and was made famous for its rawness in 90's and early 2000's. People would trespass into people backyards to Skate empty pools. To then skating the streets since skate parks weren't in every city they move to schools and commercial buildings.
    Moral of the story being civilized is calling the cops or preventing harm
    Streets rules are stand up for yourself automatically and keep to yourself and mind your business.
    Recording it all is stupid but it's about chaos, people love choas. subjects like action movies or horror movies. People like this know the risk but it makes great footage and as a director your job is make great footage
