David Lesh in The New Yorker

Interesting read.

One quote stood out when Lesh was describing how he likes to fuck with Boulder hippiecrites: "A crisis of ecology gives rise to a comedy of manners."

The author had some cute comics in there too:

my dad sent me that article not knowing that I knew who he was, as he reads the New Yorker. Part of it made me feel like the whole eco thing had gone overboard "stio part"

but this guy seems shitty to his workers and I don't think it really changed my view on him (not that the was the point of the article)

can't believe this man got an article in the New Yorker
 
mans a dick. I don't mind the look of virtika gear, and I was thinking about buying some, but after hearing all this crap about how dumb he is, I dont think that will be happening
 
i'm equally confused by 2 things:

1) why the new yorker would waste time and space on an article on this fruitcake

2) the author referring to "Newschoolers" without any explanation, as if it's a household name lmao
 
Sweet, give the giant attention whore more attention. Fuck writing a piece like that. Probably some chad that admires other chads.

Fuck david lesh.

If you're looking to buy outerwear volcom makes some dope shit.
 
this fucker is absolutely a narcissist/sociopath, he cant see himself as doing any wrong, and has absolutely no fucking idea how to comprehend how his actions affect others.

this article kind of makes him look like a hero to the peeps that love what he does, kinda fucked. the last thing this cunt needs is more attention or praise
 
Rich, white man yells at the outdoors to make liberals cry. Meanwhile he is just being a fucking jack ass crying for attention to rightwing nut jobs.

MOR Camo!
 
Of course he's friends with Dan Bilzerian. The two of them are peas in a pod.

The author makes a comparison to Edward Abbey: "'Of course I litter the public highway,' he said. 'After all, it’s not the beer cans that are ugly; it’s the highway that is ugly.'

In the Monkey Wrench Gang, the characters try their damndest to prevent mindless morons like Lesh from ruining the west. That's kind of the point of the book. Lesh isn't George Hayduke, the novel's highway litterer. Lesh is the epitome of society ruining wilderness for his personal gain. Someone should take a monkey wrench to his snowmobile.
 
All the hate went and made this man exponentially more famous! Virtika is gonna end up a Fortune 500 Company because people just love to talk about Lesh.

It's true. All press is good press. The people love controversy. See Elon Musk
 
Lol love how he says "Its my right as an American to post fake things on the internet" then legit three paragraphs later is like "I can't believe people think I would intentionally crash my airplane"

Highly doubtful. The fact that he won't share his companies financials with the author while boosting how good the company is doing is indicative of the company's probably not doing that great.
 
hahaha

Leave it to the usuals to make another multipage-thread dedicated to defending the environment via hating on Lesh.

We get it you won't buy his shit, but the amount of effort you all put into these threads make me think you actually envy the guy.

I'm no fan either but I think its pretty comical that he is more talked about these days than any other skier.

Nice try Lesh
 
By giving that insecure daddy never paid attention to me swine all this attention you’re letting him win. So I resort to what I’ve always said about David lesh:

Whos David lesh?
 
“Sure, that’s what appeals to a wider demographic,” he told me, when I asked him about the Patagonias of the world. “But, me being a little guy, it’s not interesting or unique. You’re not getting noticed being super ‘eco this’ and ‘eco that.’ It’s also just not my thing. I got sick of all that crap when I lived in Boulder."

God what an absolute jackass

Being eco-friendly is not about the attention you get for it

Your comment is longer than OP's post. Sounds like you put more effort into your comment.

We get it you don't like Lesh posts, but the amount of effort you put into this comment makes me think you actually envy OP

haha think what ya want kid.

I'm just over seeing a new Virtika thread pop up every other day and it's always the same losers filling up the thread with "fuck him! he did bad stuff to the environment, yeeeh" or " yeah I called the newspaper on him yeeeh"

You all sound like a bunch of kids in a school yard.
 
"I’m not wasteful. I’ve never destroyed anything."

Proceeds to purposely crash plane into the ocean.

Maybe, but the dude screaming "HEY OVER HERE. OVER HERE!!!! LOOK AT ME!!! PLEASE NOTICE ME!!!! I'M OVER HERE!!!" Is still much worse.

And there have been threads talking shit since first drop adds were everywhere on here. The fact that he went full douche mode just adds to it.

Meh. The marketing always had a chad vibe but now it's stronger than ever. Some people ate just shitty humans.
 
The edward abbey comment is weird, because lesh isn't riding his snowmobile on a highway, hes riding it on protected land. bottom line, who is david lesh?
 
“You’re not getting noticed being super ‘eco this’ and ‘eco that.’ It’s also just not my thing. I got sick of all that crap when I lived in Boulder.”

The guy is a sad, hollow attention whore.

Abbey would have hated that. He spent a lot of time in Desert Solitaire complaining about UTV's and the damage they caused

I would love to see some data behind this. Do we know if Virtika is actually profitable? No. Do we know they treat sponsered/former athletes like crap? Yes. Is Lesh a liar? Yes.
 
Wow a washed up athlete made an apparel company that was cool for .03 milliseconds. That’s some amazing business

I remember everyone saying that about someone else for the last 5-ish years and we now know how that turned out...
 
Patagonia, the North Face, Arc’teryx, R.E.I.: such brands have gone to great lengths to assure their customers—as purchasers of factory-made petroleum-based clothing and as guests in places that would be better off without them—that they are part of the solution.

Good luck trolling these people when they know your name.

Haha point proven. You're just another soft Gen-z who gets personally offended by everything on the internet. Buckle up son, life is gonna kick your ass once your parents stop paying for all your shit.
 
I am 70% certain Lesh is one of the people in this thread. If not I bet he has at least checked this a few times. Reveal yourself Chad!
 
he made clear that he had no fear of catching or spreading COVID. He doesn’t take precautions or wear a mask. Even though cases were now spiking in Colorado, he said that some doctors had told him the virus was less of a threat than the media would have us believe.

I love how he just HAS to be on the wrong side of literally everything. Seems like he's one of those people who doesn't have a personality and craves attention so they base their entire personality off being what is going to be controversial because it guarantees they will be talked about.
 
Did you call him a Gen-Zer because you’re a millennial?
