one of my best friends makes extra money off writing erotic fanfics of some video game series I don’t play; but he’s still my homie and I love him to death. I’m a Boston guy and have met Hackel once or twice and he’s been a good shit IRL so just like my homie i recognize I’m not the target audience but the bag must be secured so do you

Better than Bruce Oldham or steepsteep, but still not my cup of tea.

He has a real job owning and operating 1000. The same can't be said for many of the kids filming street videos, so give credit where it's due.
I also don't really see the issue with these videos. All I see is more hate from members that fall well short of Hackel's athletic and entrepeneurial achievements. Like it or not, but these personalized videos grow the sport's audience far more than most content on NS.
Stay in your lane.

Cool and all running a ski company but you could be doing it the proper way instead of just feeding into the GenZ-like crowd so obsessed with social media and validation. Plus their skis are stupid fucking expensive and allegedly hold up like shit especially for the price.
just so disappointing seeing a literal fucking goat like Hackel completely flip the page to some shit like this. Almost a feeling of betrayal.

His commentary isn't that good I watched the ON3P 6 reaction vid and all he did was just smile and say "let's go!" and then flex that he already did a trick in the video which was actually pretty funny now that I think about it

Hackel is a meme now. He’s a TikTok man boy

I feel like 1000 had the potential to become a sick brand without the basic tik tok marketing. Approach it sort of how Candide did being more lowkey and letting their simple graphics speak for themselves

Honestly, I watched a couple of his videos and the vlog ones really aren't that bad. Also his mom comments on his videos and that is very sweet.
If I could travel around the world and make money while skiing at the expense of having to make some vlog/reaction content I would do it in a heartbeat. Caring about what people think about you on newschoolers is way more cringey than making some videos to help keep the dream alive.

No but actually his yt content is so worse than react YouTubers, and worse than his TikTok. Dare I say steepsteep knows how to do better than him.
1yr prediction. He learns and commits to the sad yt/tiktok world he is trying to profit on. And we lose one of the best skiers to profiteering off socials.

We just aren't the market. I don't think this is his lane but something might stick and go viral. Pockets of the internet love 1000 skis because of what he puts out. Alex is out here living a lot of people on NS's dream... own ski company and a peak performance deal. Makes sense why y'all love to hate on him lol

How is this wack? I didnt watch yet but looks like he has a video breaking down his own clips from different segments, which sounds awesome. No different than someone chopping it up on a podcast, probably better cause you can see the clips being discussed. Pretty sure hackel did a podcast breaking down his eat the guts part a while back and it was sick. Corny youtube thumbnails and titles are whatever, bro needs to pay the bills, but this does not look like tiktok style content at all

This is the argument that everyone makes but I don't see a lot of other pros doing the social media shit like Hackel does. Maybe I'm wrong but this isn't the only way

I'm sure 1000s are super fun skis to fuck around on but most people aren't forking over that much money for jib skis, mainly because that's all they can do. I feel like the company is trying really hard to get its name out there but when there's already skis that have a good foothold in that market (Line Blends, Vishnu, Surface), it's proving to be challenging.

I agree that we aren’t the target audience, but what’s strange about that to me is that we are definitely the audience that made him famous in the first place. Which is why it almost feels like some sort of betrayal, but I think that’s too harsh cause he can do whatever tf he wants and doesn’t actually owe us anything.
I will believe 1000 skis is a popular company when I start seeing them at the hill. Internet clout doesn’t mean shit if you can’t actually sell a physical product. And you can miss me with that “you guys are just jealous” garbage, I am living my own dream and I am in no way jealous of a man who makes wack influencer content for a living LOL

Ayo I just watched his reaction to Colby Stevenson's video, shit was mad good?!
I thought it was super interesting how he was able to break down the right side/left side switch/regs tricks, (which I never would have picked up on myself) and also explained why switch dub 12 is so much harder than 9. I also thought it was super dope and humble how he was like "oh I can't do that". Even when he mentions small stuff lie "oh he's hit that jump a couple times", its cool to see someone also at such a high level be able to break stuff down like that.

Unfortunately we don't move the needle to build athlete brands as much as before. Slight betrayal but theres not much more he can get from us. Look at surf industry, a lot of those guys keep relevance through YouTube channels and podcasts. More skiers should be doing that if they want to make $ long term. Worked for Jon

That and learning any new language in a total immersion environment is going to have an effect on your L1 pronunciation and sentence structure; I’ve had students go stay with family in China for instance for the summer as native English speakers but come back to school in the fall dropping “s” for plural because plurals in most dialects of Chinese work differently so a sentence like “I’ll have three apple” makes grammatical sense in Chinese similar to how moose functions in English (A moose/6 moose).
I imagine speaking Swedish in your daily life and work especially in a technical field with its own specific jargon would create a similar transfer of language features between L1 and L2

Does anyone else find it hilarious that this American born and raised man is still trying to convince the world he has a Scandinavian accent

Nah man. By the time ur 18 ur accent is pretty much locked in. I Have two European immigrant parents that sounds just as foreign as ever. I’ve spent the majority of my adult life in UK/Europe and I still sound just as American as I ever have. Also speak German/danish. Only thing that ever really changes is ur sentence structure and maybe ur dialect / word choice.
I honestly think hackle is bugging with his accent.

He just wants to make money and this is how to do it nowadays. Cheap tik toks, reels, trendy videos. The stuff that blows up will never cater to this sort of community anymore unfortunately.

No I've definitely skied at other places than hyland lol. But most of the 10 y/o park kids at hyland are probably better than you so i would stay quiet ? . Also W the profile view just to make a point, where do you mainly ski?
