Thumbs Down on Willis Brown

Overrated. That's what comes to my mind when I see anything about Willis Brown. How is he listed in the new POC ads and Dylan Natale isn't! That is insane...Dylan is obviously sick, had an INCREDIBLE segment in Such is Life, such sick shit, and he's been with POC for a while now. What has Willis done to deserve a spot on their Pro team if Dylan isn't on it? I've never seen him in any movies, or on any podiums, the only time I've seen him is when he is in Freeskier videos or Jon's video blog, which tells me he is just bro's with all those guys, and because of it, he's getting more recognition. I heard he is on ARMADA now too....are you serious!!! Armada is the sickest company, why the hell would they sign him! Have they not seen his videos!??!?!?!? Just look at his KOS edit...brutal. Sorry buddy, I just think there are other people in this industry that deserve more recognition. Anyone else agree? I apologize for the rant. I do not know Willis Brown, maybe he is a really nice kid, but he is not a very good skier. Average at best.

i think you efforts could be more effectively used to try and explain why Dylan Natale is underated rather than bashing(respectively) willis. His KoS was different and because of the change obvioiusly people dislike the different style..so maybe instead of pesimitically dispising brown, focus optimistically on Dylan Natale...each to his own

Agreed, Dylan is highly underrated. But his Kos was not different. He claims thsoe double flips are kangaroos and he doesn't grab worth shit. doesn't spin right. I just can't believe he is considered pro. it's pathetic.

there's more to being a professional athlete than just skills...

Actually, I thought that having skills was a major part of it? I guess you can still blow it and be a big time pro tho, as long as your market yourself well!!!

dont hate, kid is sick dude. Most people just hate because they aren't sponsored, if you want to get sponsored just kiss up to a rep. thats honestly all it takes man, so get over it. The Ski Industry, Its a buisness so nothing is fair, only whats in gets seen.

Wow, direct hate on someone you probably don't know? That's definitely not what NS is about. This reminds me of the callout a year or two ago on Kohl Schoening.

He is better at talking or knows more people. You can be a great skier but not have anything becuse you need to market your self.

I dont understand these threads, his sponsorships don't affect you one bit, he didn't start skiing so that he could impress you, you're just some random guy giving an opinion that nobody asked for on  a subject that you have nothing to do with
Ive never even heard of him but this thread is gay no matter how bad he is
