I finally see that skiing exposure is a good thing. Sure the snowboarder gapers are so annoying, and yes, it would ruin our tight culture, but we could still stay away from the gapers and keep the passionate skiers together. That's what the passionate snowboarders do, and i don't think it would be hard to exclude the newbies who just do it to be cool.
So lets see: He's got a logo taht he drew himself, a name that's already been trademarked, one of his buddies from high school who just graduated from community college, and his mom.
And oh yeah, he wants to make a bunch of shit. Like tons of shit, all sorts of shit, not even skiing shit necessarily.
Are you looking for investors Simon? Cause this sounds like the greatest company ever!
I thought it was pretty cool and I could see it going either way. It would be cool to have more money in the ski industry, this means more money for all ths pros and maybe someday most pros can live soley from skiing. However, imagine one day skiing is cool, and you walk into school and half all these kids pretending there amazing at skiing and have sponsors, It would kill me.
I hope that skiings in the olympics because skiing can always be amazing. Its just what you make it.
FIS SUCKS learn from your history, the FIS killed moguls and freestyle the same will happen with half pipe...Listen to what Teje said back in the day..
"fuck the Olympics" who cares about the money and exposure ... freeskiing doesnt need the olympics...
