i don't know if it's been posted, but has anyone else seen the nissan X-terra commercial with sage catabriga-alosa. I am pretty sure that is the first skier to be in a car add. this could be good or bad for our progression or whatever, but i'm just putting it out there

I'm not sure how it's selling out. I mean it's pretty cool to see freeskiing on a national t.v. spot.

its a wicked good sign for us that they showed his name, it means they think that sage actually can be marketed, its good

If he drove up in an x-terra, stepped out, told the camera skiing sucks, and drove away giving us a glimpse of his trunk being full of figure skates and fancy shampoo, then he may have sold out.

Its good for the industry

WE WANT PEOPLE TO SEE WHAT WE DO

It will only get better that way, fuck selling out, selling out is the definition of people who cant take change.

Selling out is when something completely 100 percent changes for the worst. Limp Bizkit maybe?

Funny part is its not even sage in part of that comercial, kids name was Troy Murdough . There was an article about it in the sept 2005 "Powder", page 44 for anyone that wanted to read about it.

And the guy actualy doesnt look anything like sage other than the fact he is male. Its irrelevant though because all the shots that they would have used of troy would be fairly long distance stuff.

Nah it is sage, but i don't he sold out because of the fact that they don't throw his name out at everymoment, nor is he there saying" Nissan makes me ski good." He skis alot for warren miller, and nissan sponcers Warren Miller productions. They just took some footage from a film. Plus this is the least sell out skier out there. Chads gap took him from dishwasher, to pro.

And now that i reread the article i realise that it ends with "none of his shots made the final cut" so i am a dumbass for even bringing him up.

yea that commercial is awesome for skiing. people see him drop in on that steep ass face then throw a nice 3 of a cliff, i love it actually shows that mainstream media and culture are starting to use newschool sking as a marketing technique aka they think its hot right now and people will relate and in turn wanna buy their product that last thing doesnt make sense to me but still this is a huge step for skiing, much bigger then ssx4 and that stupid skiing part

^ Yeah for sure. Any day a skier whos not JM does anything "newschool" related on tv is a good day.

And Sage is just a pimp so that helps.

Mosely sold out because he used his position to get himself a spot on MTV and all that type of shit, but shits all over the ski world by basically ignoring the fact that if it weren't for skiing, he wouldn't be anything. Sage and his sponsors realized they had a good opportunity to promote skiing in a badass way and they took it. all you see is Sage ripping shit up and smiling his ass off. when you see Mosely, he's sucking every dick at MTV. Mosely did a lot for the exposure of freeskiing, but after it made him famous, he practically turned his back on it and tried to use the image to make as much money as possible for him. Sage is about as far from a sellout as they come.

oh yes, truth spoken. selling out would be like appearing on the surreal life, which i'm sure jonny mosely is lining up as we speak.

before anyone takes it the wrong way, let me clarify- when i said you see Sage "smiling his ass off", i wasn't trying to be insulting. the fact that he is always smiling is awesome- he must be the most stoked person in the sport. just thought that sounded a little harsh, so i'd explain myself.

I see no problem with it. He rips. He seems cool. What's the problem? He's not sacrificing his skiing credibility by being the commercia.
