From Glen Takemoto

Well,

As you all heard, I left XSV this weekend in order to look out for my best interests. Basically I was promised things to come over from Avalanche this year and although it was a hard descision I left a lot of my friends who I came up thru the ranks with. With that said, I was not given anything I was promised this year and have been playing on the team for only a few reasons, and that was some friends I had made when joining the team and the fact that I wanted to win.

I tried to reconcile some of my issues with the team before the event and was planning on finishing out the year, I am not one to leave mid year, but some more issues arose and I just could not stay on the team any longer. I thought things could have easily been solved had the team not been so greedy when it only affected a few people, not the whole. So yes, the timing sucked, I am sorry for leaving when I did but if you knew the whole details of my situation then I am sure you would have done the same. I plan on writing an artice real soon unveiling everything.

So thank you all who have supported me, some of you are going to hate me some will say goodluck and it was a good idea. In my eyes I got completely screwed over this year but I learned a lot. I learned more about certain people, the grass is not greener on the other side, money is the root of all evils, people are 2 faced and true friends will always be there for you, and bascially how to stand up for myself. So thank you too all of our supporters and sponsors throughout the season.

I will be finishing out the NPPL season with the OC Bushwackers, a team full of talent and just a few things away from being a very good team. I am happy to be on the team and thank them for accepting me last minute. As for the PSP, I want a little bit to think about it, too much stuff went on this weekend but in due time I will let you guys know.

I am off to Slovakia now to play in the Centurio league and then doing a clinic, check often on my site to see what I am up to.

Thanks again everyone

he said he'd unveil everything in the article he will be writing, so ill be looking forward to that. Dont think it'll be too nice as he used the phrase(s) "stabbed in the back" and "got completely screwed over",etc..

i heard they werent paid a cent this year .. when they were promised to earn a living through the team
indeed i heard something like this, however what i heard is that other team members went behind others backs and got themself larger ammounts of $$$ in exchange for others being left out

its definitly something to do with finance as JR and Davey both came on here and said that they were not given what they were finacial promised, and that ceartin team backers didnt come through.

its fair in my eyes. its their livelyhood really isnt it. what else they meant to do? live on the streets?
