Yeah I'm not into shit like that, but a few folks on here will eat it up. Plus the sections have been dead sort of. Sucks, because I dig Hoder and Lotek. Both quality for bmx. Another example as to why socialized bmx media is a bad idea.

For the lazy
Two sides to every story, and we'll probably never know the exact details other than what's in the comments which could be hiding facts as well.

Just sucks. 10 years ago it takes months for dirty laundry to come out. Nowadays it's open for everyone to see. I'm a hypocrite as well for coming and posting it here, but yeah. I hate seeing two things I actually like about bmx having trouble.

The post/pic that I saw has been taken down. Not sure what the reason is, but hoder seems to have quit lotek. Sucks. Moh well.

Hoder seems to be a sketchy guy to be honest. that's just my opinion though.

Hoders cocaine habit did take over for a while, but he came out of it clean, never choked a girl and blamed it on drugs, etc.
Lets be honest, Mike Hoder is a beast, tons of respect for the man.

Hoder is the man, but I also love Lotek shoes.
I won't lose sleep over the beef, but it does suck cause one of them wronged the other. The 100% true story might never be made public, but who knows.

if you dont pay your riders, you are withholding pay which is violating federal labor laws, and being an all around douche
just my two cents

Hoder was violating his contract, a lot. It was like paying someone to badmouth you.

I see Hoder being childish in those comments. Or he may be speaking the truth and Lotek Hoders may actually suck. We don't have the full story but this seems like some shit that shouldnt be public

We live in the age of social media. Even pathetic little vitalbmx is considered "social media". Nowadays, all information, even stupid drama that doesn't concern us will most likely find a web page somewhere to exist on. The internet is for all to see.

The best thing about Lotek shoes(of late) are grip pattern&thickness and the insole's material&thickness. I wore Lotek Faders for a while(identical to hoder) that shit tore up way too quickly for how long I rode them. They eventually came apart and still have planty of grip left. Made of some canvas bullshit. The Nightwolfs on the other hand are more durable and seem great for riding. Faders and Hoders ended being the 'on a budget' designs. They suck.

If you accept a sponsor , talk good about them. You get FREE shit and get paid for having fun. Good or not , you can't bitch about free stuff. Low on Hoders part.

I had two pairs of them and my only complaints were the insoles sucked, those were older models though.
I have the Reeves signatures now though and they're likely the best shoes I've ever had. Lotek makes good stuff in my opinion at least.

I feel this way too. Essentially you are an employee. If you do not like the place/product/people, you find something else. You don't just vent your issues on social media.
That being said, I do not know what happened fully, so I cannot really comment either way.
I did work for a place that I felt underappreciated the employees a LOT and the manangement at that place abused their authority as well, which is why I left when the opportunity came up. It was a company of around 200 people, and I was more a number than I am now, as part of a company with 47000 employees.
