That movie was cool, but Empire is a joke.  I love how Simon thinks he's "giving back to the skiing community" by overhyping a "brand" that is nothing but a bandana and Simon and his friends acting baller, give me a break.  I sure hope this isn't his way of making his own mark on the "core" side of freeskiing, and I hope people won't be silly enough to buy it.  I know I'll only buy the gloves if they have a big fucking Wal-Mart logo on them or whatever superstore he's sponsored by.
