no way there's a market for a steepsteep gilson ski
Your telling me steepsteep is comparable or as marketable as ahall, bdog, henrik, cal carson, etc?

No shit hes more marketable than them he almost has 200k on youtube and plus its for Gilson not Armada or something. Gilsons target demographic is probably the same as Steep Steep’s target demographic it makes perfect sense. If you were a small ski company like Gilson and a youtuber with 200K is willing to shout out your brand you would be a total moron not to give them a pro model.

Also who cares if he’s corny, he loves skiing, and he gets kids hyped on skiing, and introduces skiing to non skiers. All three of those things are good. Sure some dudes are better skiers and more deserving of pro models, but it’s not like Nick is a bad kid at all, I wouldn’t say he’s “undeserving” at all, kid has more passion for skiing than any of us. Literally sat in his room after a career ending back injury and made a whole YouTube dedicated to playing a skiing video game because he had to fill the void

That’s sick. I’ve never watched one of his videos but like he clearly has a big influence on skiing, especially the younger crowd. The way I see it is that gilson just made another big play to further making people more interested in skiing pushing culture. Fuck the hate gilson has done so much already, who the fuck cares if they’re not jetskis or Vishnu, they’ve done more for skiing than both at this point for fucks sake. Gilson sponsors so many cracked skiers I don’t even know too…

AYO.. I don't get the hate on steepsteep. My mans got a major back injury skiing, and started streaming himself playing steep because he loved skiing so much. He then got a bit better and finally can ski again, and is trying to be a good, engaging person to the new generation while bringing a love of skiing. I'm fucked up drunk right now, and I can tell you he has done more to bring skiing to the youth than any of us, and desreves some recognition for all he does. Fuck you if you think he's cringe. He's just a dude who loves skiing and wants to bring skiiing to people. I repsect the shit out of him and what he does. Put some respek on his name.

Ok shit on me if you want, but gilson's graphics would look so much cooler if they didn't put their big ass logo right on the tips of the skis. But ig this goes for a lot of ski brands.
Gilson is for the culture though, they do more cool shit than a lot of other ski companies especially for the east coast.

*Skier we know joins small company*
*Retires and starts running the ski side*
*Goes out of his way to flow lots of kids skis and run rail jams*
*Gives a passionate ski YouTube personality a pro model which is basically just a topsheet*
”OMG they’re literally ruining the culture!”
It’s undeniable what Josh and Gilson are doing for the community. I, also, never understood the disdain for Steep Steep. Can’t win with you kids lol

Just to clarify, I do not run the whole ski side. It's just a small company so I have more influence than I would with my job title at another company. So don't give me all the judgment ?
And like you said, a "pro model" is literally just the topsheet. So basically just a Limited Edition. I actually was all for specifically only using that wording, but Nick kept using pro model and it didn't matter enough to say it had to be one way or the other.
If you ever met Nick in person I think he'd win a lot of you over. Awesome guy. His content isn't everyone's cup of tea. But he's an A1 human

Why not promote one of their skier instead? Giving a model to a youtuber who barely ski because of his following of 12 y/o is just short term profit. Why do you think people get vishnu skis but no one get gilson? Vishnu support what really matters.
Ps. I have nothing personal against steepsteep

Its because Gilson doesn't give a shit about promoting good skiers, they only care about exposure. Sure enough you can expect a steepsteep youtube video of him gushing over this with a stupid fucking thumbnail of his stupid fucking face looking shocked and it'll produce 30k views of free adverts for this shitty ski company.

*influencers win* big difference, you dumb fuck. But hey, let's ignore what's happening in MTBing where brands are refusing to support racers and freeriders who are literally dedicating their lives and health to riding because the sponsors would rather invest in whoever gets the most views on youtube! Great idea!

Says the guy who sees “50 pairs of limited edition top sheets” and is somehow convinced that it means the entire ski industry is funneling money into his pockets. You got mad that he posted a video of him being excited about the skis but didn’t flame Sammy Carlson for posting a whole two paragraphs and slideshow just to talk about the whitewalkers… or zahner for posting the same thing for the rat rods…
