message?

it basically says we need to make a video not only with skiing but with what skiing and liberty represents to us, and some other stuff, to, im sure youve seen it by now

 
It just explains that no one has a safe spot on the team, that results and visibility are expected, but also a great attitude and we want to know why we must sponsor you more than anyone else. When you guys got selected, the company was not as known as today, we get more and more videos in everyday, more and demand, and we want to make sure that you guys are really the top athletes we want.

i understand, but does this mean, within any of the next year meaning from now untill summer we can be kicked off the team?

We're all chasing the dream
 
no im pretty sure it just means that next year you will still have to send in a promo showing why you should be on liberty skis.

Less of what you dont want, more of what you want. P-Crew.$
 
In other words, i thinkk ive said it,but no one has a safe place on the team, and we want you to evolve, score well in comps, and get better and better. We also want some people with good attitude.

i think thats a valid point for sure....however i dont really think the company is doing all that much to realize the evolution of there riders as is.....i knowi have made huge improvements to my skiing not only with my tricks etc....but with my exposure as well...im filming with 3 companies and am getting a magazine article as an up and comer in powder.....so i think that you guys could def inquire about the goings on with your riders a little more.....and try to find out whos really reppin liberty and who isnt.....i know its not fair to say your oblivious....but i havent recieved one email asking me how things are going or trying to get me more involved with stuff....i try to keep everyone informed about stuff....but its kinda awkward to sit down and write a bragging email to your sponsor

no worries^....i just feel like the the company isnt doing alot to distinguish between the abilities and exposure of there riders....i know this isnt a conscious descision they are making....but an email like this is almost insulting when i feel that i am an asset to a company rather than them doing charity by giving me skis

Yes I agree fully but it is to bad eh

Huck it and Giver ,bomb hills not Iraq, mono skiing is back, and rear entry is cool
 
Come on guys, Liberty is not here to hold your hand and guide you through the ski industry. If you're making mags and getting filmed, thats great, sit down and write an email,(or better yet start sending film to spinks) alert the guys and they will be just as excited to see your exposure as you are. In the end, they are running a full company and you are skiing on their dollar, you have far more time to write emails and inform than they do. Every athlete on earth has to do this, and you arn't any exception.

 
i agree with you for sure man....and im not trying to deminish what a great job liberty does with everything.....but iguess when i get an email basically saying that i need to prove my worthiness to liberty to ramain on the teammm i get a little insulted....i realize that there are alot of people trying to get in on this....but i feel like having a company that takes an interest and appreciates what riders they have makes more sense than threatening them due to the fact that there are alot of good skiers out there.....again...as i say i feel that i am an asset to the company and that i do alot to help them out......and the fact that my correspondence with the company doesnt represent that is kind of a bummer....on the other hand i am fully understanding of everything these guys are up to right now....and showing there interest and appreciation isnt on their list of priorities.....at any rate im not complaining...but rather just bringing up a counterpoint to julien's comment....

Here is the deal guys, we want you to show us each year how you are promoting the company. What we also want to avoid is people taking advantage of their sponsorship. There are a lof of skiers out there that dont do anything for the company, but still get hooked up or serious discount. We want everybody involved to be involved.

We want to see you improve, and we are only going to see that in your videos from year to year. We are going to re-sign the riders that make the effort to get some good video, and get it in to be published in the video. If we dont get any video from you, we cant put you in the video.

Being a pro skier, is exactly that, a professional athlete. It takes more than just being cool and stomping some tricks. It takes a dedication to the sport and to those that support you.

Also, realize you are in on a ground level of the company. We are new, trying to make it, and we want to make a better product than anybody else. Please be patient, you will see that patience is a virtue, and the longer you are patient the better the reward in the end.

keep it real, and we'll all have a Merry Christmas and a great season.

...he died doing what he loved. He will always be rememberd as a great snowboarder, but more importantly as a great friend.

In loving memory of Josh Malay.

RED TEAM!
 
thats cool man, i think you guys took the letter in the wrong way. You're all sick skiers, they know that, thats why you're on the team. There were no threats ment in the letter, just motivation to keep moving forward. There are plenty of kids who get free stuff and assume they're the new THall and they can just let it ride. Liberty is just as excited for the start of the season as you guys are, and they were just trying to keep everyone motivated to do what they do best. Its awesome that you're already out they're gettin filmed, and since you're doing such, you are already one step ahead and won't have to worry about anything in the letter at anyway.

 
charly and spinks....i agree and respect everything that you guys are saying....i didnt mean to come off as so negative...i was just trying to make the point that some of the riders have evolved just like the company...at any rate you guys know how all this stuff works better than me so i dont want to seem opinionated....just throwin my two cents in
