Q&A: Ian Compton on his switch to Nordica, The Weak and spacey music -

At first I was like nooo stay with Line, but after reading I'm stoked for him, seems like a good opportunity

Nice Q&A Dan!

Nice job Dan!

@blindside -- I deleted your comment because deal with it

Coming from the guy who always pushes the phrase don't take skiing seriously, this is something I could never image you'd do. Why the fuck can't you support both company's why in the hell would you say your done with the Traveling Circus? If they are just skis and if those guys are really your friends than who cares what company your in when your featured in a video. I support Line because I see a bunch of friends having the time of there life doing the dumb crazy stuff they do specifically featured in that show. I don't give a shit about the quality of skis or level of skiing they do compared to others. Your a huge face of that company and your teeth are even printed on their skis man, is that something Nordica would ever do for you? That edit you made of the Line crew in Breck was one of my all time favorites and seeing you laugh with your homies and go "oh my god" was one of the best parts of your videos. I'm still going to be a huge fan of you and watch your videos and stuff but seriously the fact that you would leave that company is always going to be something I question and it will annoy me to think that you would leave your friends when you helped make that company be apart of the image I see them as today. Good luck with your new path you certainly spend the majority of your life trying to figure out who you are, we all do, I wish you luck supporting the east by joining Nordica. I will always remember Line however being the main supporter of the Meathead films and now that they are done supposedly, I'm happy Even signed a bunch of those riders. He's given them fame and cash that they deserve I'm especially hyped to see Jake Doan on the team now and I'm excited to see new stuff from them but you leaving Line when you were already one of the biggest names in skiing isn't going to make me want to buy their skis it doesn't make sense to me and I feel like it is going to make divides in the skiing industry between these two successful and already great skiing company's. I get that people leave and join other company's and that it happens a lot but Line supported you so much, how could any of your current fans ever be able to picture you on another team/company. Next time you do a phone interview or what ever I'd appreciate more of an explanation of why you would part ways from the great company you've belonged to.
