what the fuck is up with freeskier? their merchandise warehouse burned down the day i bought a bunch of shit from them. Road Trip Challenge was a joke, their was only three episodes instead of nine, and now i havent got an issue since early janurary. Either their really messing up over there or someone is doing a good job at sabotaging them

atleast their on top of ffl -- always opening trading on time or occasionally not at all, explaining the scoring, telling us what comps are weighted and how, aahhhh shit, they don't care.  these guys are livin the life.  skiing.  boozing.  whatever.  they do hook us up with some pics and vids.  i was into it, but really i'm just stoked that my mtn is having the best season in decades.  fuck the rest of it.  skiing is fun.

RTC's 1 & 2 were epic and awesome, then the wait for 3 was gay, and it wasn't as good, and now we're proobably going to have to wait another 4 months or whatever it was for #4.

magazine is wack. they have no clue whats really going on, same people in the mag all day. all they do is suck money out of companies for bullshit advertising, besides letting you know what all the highest paid skiers are doing they dont do a thang for us. Shit compared to freeze. that mag did things for skiing.

and RIP to AXIS mag as well. Hang on to those issues if you got em, gold.

there isn't one employee at freeskier who owns a snowmobile, therefore street rails, comps, and park take up the majority of the mag. plus, the majority of submitting photogs don't own a snowmobile either, so again, street rails, comps, and park are what you get. ever notice there isn't much if at all bc kickers, natural jumps (excluding powder turns)....those take the real work to get and freeskier doesn't have the dedicated staff or submitting photogs getting the goods. shit, they put a girl making a blurry pow slash on last year's photo annual. satisfied, hardly.

We want FREEZE back !
They knew what was going on. They put TJ Shiller on the cover as soon as they knew he was sick. They had the best articles and they really gave a shit about the industry. I just bought the last issue of Freeskier with Tanner Hall and there wasn't much good articles, it was pretty empty. As soon as I read Tanner's part, the issue was done, it kinda sucks. They had some pretty good issues but it doesn't feel as true as FREEZE. Whatever, I'll keep buying it but it's not THE SHIT.

I don't care if the RTC was only three episodes, that series was fucking awesome. Seriously great stuff. I hope they do it again. Members from both teams got injured anyhow, so.. it's understandable..

to those hating on freeskier i fully agree, fucking pussy's sucking the dicks of 5 "ultra pros" 

in no way have they supported the new generation of skiers, the whole level 1 crew has basically no press from the issues ive read (and when i say read, i mean flip through it in about 10 min spit on it and put it back on the shelf then i buy a snowboard mag), let alone the theory-3 crew

oh and photos? ANOTHER angle of the same fucking jump with the same lighting with the same skier, no rails, lets alone street rails, let alone anything creative, pow shots are fun, but they are all same...

the reason for all this? personally i think they are out of touch with the youth of skiing. they have this warped image of skiing and how everyone is aspiring to be the next jon olsson, when in fact there are lots of kids who are trying to do their own thing, and get no love in the process. the only thing that freeskier has done well in the last five years is the road trip challenge, nothing else

they are deffinently out of touch with the core of freesking today, and dont care about new and different ideas about what people are doing on the slopes. like earlier this year there was the thread about how they rufused to even TAKE pictures of skiers who were no-polers

and ive also had my fair share of problems with gettin mags on time, or at all and its bullshit.
