So then the time he spent with Boyd was for nothing? He must have learned something because until his time with Boyd was he as well known? I don't know any of them that well or personally, just that guys here are quick to jump in a bashing thread before they meet, or get to know beyond a hello at some show. Foose is good, but he had to have learned something, even if it was how not to do things.

His time with Boyd showed him one thing for sure. How to go bankrupt.

Well known? I think you're confusing fame/notoriety with talent. Go back and click the link in my first response or google Chip Foose and read for yourself.

I know them both on a professional level and that's what I based my comments on. I agree that some folks jump on the "hater" bandwagon without knowing what they're talking about. I'm not one of those folks.

Foose is VERY good and he probably did learn something at Boyd's. I'd hope after 3 years part time and 5 years full time he learned something of value.
