Dumont Signs on with Target

dang itd b soooo easy to hate on him and say sellout and shit. but hey thisll b huge publicity for the sport, and hell make some decent money outta this/ way to go simon!
 
Now why is it when Simon signs on with Target, people think its cool cause he's making bank. When Mosley realized he was on the was out he started taking all the cash he could get(which I personally think was smart as hell), and people bash him more then anyone else.
 
I think the vast majority of people on here would do just what Mosley did, he did the smart thing, thats for sure.
 
I mean if you were a pro skier and you knew you weren't going to make any cash real soon and MTV approached you with a truckload of cash what would you say? Mosley was smart.
 
up scale wal mart.

pretty brilliant store actually.

anywho, he is rolling in some mad bank with that deal.
 
THIS IS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our sport is going to get so much more publicity. People are going to finally realize that skiing is just as cool if not cooler than boarding. Cause we all know its a lot more technical. The simple fact the have one big thing to worry about. We have 2 little things to worry about.
 
That's because Moseley had a great thing in skiing, he progressed it awsome. But then he went on MTV (for whatever personal reasons) and he did basically sell out. He still wore a beanie and t-shirts with a skier on them and still was marking himself as a pro skier even though he clearly wasn't. He marketed his gold medals over and over again still years after the fact that he retired competing. Basically Johnny had no passsion for the sport and made it seem like he sold the sport of skiing for money.
 
Its not the ad itself. A lot of people dont even know the things that skiers can do. They think that boarders are the only ones that do rails and shit. You know?
 
maybe they can figure out how to bottle up dumonts little man tough guy syndrome and sell it as a perfume
 
we need target in canada. we dont as far as i know.

but yes, that is hella sick for the newschool community
 
This is a positive step for our sport getting recognition on a larger scale. The man in charge of Target Sports Marketing is a former K2 intern as well as a former High North employee. He knows what is up.
 
so? if you were simon and had this opportunity you would too. its more money, plain and simple. everyone wants more money. especially skiers because their careers are relatively short. dont hate and call him a sellout.
 
werd mcnerd, in the usfo big air radio show doug made it clear, everyones always like DONT DO SWITCH 10'S!!!!! well if you were put in that situation i know that most of you would do it too.
