I know spam threads are annoying, and I promise not to do it unless I'm sure you guys will be into it. That said, thought some folks here might want to read this. Interview was conducted two days ago:

"POWDER: Do you think you’ll be more tentative now because of this?

Dumont: I’m not more tentative."

This kids either illiterate or hes going to kill himself pretty soon.

I was approaching a family with 2 small children when I started puking violently enough to throw me off my bike onto a pile of rocks. I was covered in blood and half naked and the family kept asking asking if i was okay. Everytime i opened my mouth to try and say yes i threw up more." -Jordan Crawford.

Part of that response got cut off. It should have read (and does now) "...I'm not more tentative at all. I’ll still charge but do it in a smarter way."

Here's a question for you. (Yeah, I know. I've gone from spammer to troll...). Would you rather read an interview, or listen to it, like this one we did here:

http://powdermag.com/features/onlineexclusive/back_in_black/

I've had mixed response. Some people don't like the audio because they can't listen to it at school/work. Other people like it because they can listen while they do other stuff. Just wondering what people here think.

Ohh okay, I sort of take back my comment. And I would much rather read an article because I can just skim over it quickly and read the questions I care about. Maybe offer both?

Nothing like using a competitor for free market research, right Powder?

^powder is part of the ns movement and deserves a screenname on here IMO. If it bothers you, why don't you just IM the guy and have a conversation about what you want in return, or what your expectations are?

Hehe, at least I'm up front about it, eh 'Kaze. Besides, you guys have a pretty solid lock on this segement of the sport/culture. I don't think you have to worry about us stealing your thunder.

Kendrick, he's just giving me sh*t. He knows how to get in touch with me if he ever wants to.

It's hard to figure out which is better, print or visual/audio media. Obviously since it's the net, the big advantage is to provide videos and audio that you can't get in a magazine. But a lot of people still like to read as well. Best compromise? Do both, a good story along with a good video. Well, I guess that's not really a compromise, but you know. Also, a lot of people are still running on dial-up, or don't have the programs necessary to run video/audio content, so a back-up text story is always absolutely necessary.

Glad to see that powder knows it's all in good fun- too small of an industry to be (too) competitive. :)
