Gatekeeping king and the Alex Jones of Skateboarding Weckingball has built a reputation for constantly speaking his mind without much filter.
He often steps into situations where most people would stay quiet, and that habit has kept him in the spotlight inside skate circles.
After his split from Nike, he publicly criticized the brand and accused them of being too focused on corporate greed.
That moment already added more attention to his name, but he did not stop afterward and got a backlash from the Blind skateboarding community.

More recently, he turned his attention toward Baker Boys Distribution and their brand Deathwish Skateboards.
He saw a wall that had been vandalized with the Deathwish name, he reacted in a way that quickly spread online.
He wrote an offensive comment underneath the graffiti, targeting the brand in a way that sparked immediate backlash and turned into another talking point across skate communities.
This is an Alex Jones moment, especially his widely circulated rant about chemicals in water. That comparison comes from how both figures tend to make extreme statements that quickly get repeated and turned into jokes or memes.

Weckingball has also said that he has no intention of stepping away from skateboarding, even with ongoing criticism around his behavior.
Each new statement he makes seems to add more attention to his already controversial presence in the scene.
