As we previously reported, the Raleigh St DIY OGs rejected The Boonies head honcho Tim Pool's $20,000 cash prize for their skateboarding contest with no strings attached, aiming for skaters to earn money and have fun while enjoying the event.

According to The Boonies boss, Pool then offered the crew $500,000 and an additional $30,000 but was still rejected.

This led Pool to call out the skaters at Raleigh St DIY as woke and hypocritical for banning him from the event, despite the crew not even owning the land as it's a DIY skate spot.

Raleigh St DIY is like the heart of local skating, where skaters gather to do their thing. There's been a lot of talk about turning down money from Pool. Some people think it's cool to get support for the skate scene, but others say the DIY crew should keep things independent, no matter what.

Online, things are getting pretty wild with people arguing for and against. It's hard to predict what's next for big names like Pool teaming up with the grassroots skate community. This whole thing shows how tough it is to balance money and integrity in the skateboarding scene.
