How Come Brogan and other American semipro's have orange nicknames!
When Norweagian like Thomas Dolplads for example, who got third in euro open, en hve placed high in several other comps like X-games, have a plain one lik e i have, he's way more pro than Brogan!

There's many moore of theese guts NS!
Should be better in keeping up with Semi pro's from Europe!!!

brogan is sick! but=---
Super Unknown doesnt compare to Xgames, and stuff, i love underground, but the guys riding in big comps are putting way mroe into skiing, especially when it comes to sponsors..
sponsors want u to sell their prodcut, not just look cool on film....

False. If no-one cared about semi-pros then our sport wouldn't go anywhere.

good point...
and also it's really annoying when guys have orange names, and i don't even know who they are. i mean is it that hard to put in your profile, what your affiliation with the ski industry is?

im aware of that, but i said not JUST by looking cool.. stating that its all part of the equation....
Im saying that sponsors want to see you win big competitions, not do a few rail jams, and 3298493482-3 edits..
no hate on brogan tho, i jsut got done watching his new edit, FLAWLESS

orange names aren't for pro skiers, they are for owners of companies or company reps. things like that.

They are for industry folk - that includes reps, athletes, filmers - people directly involved with the industry

it really depends on your status in the industry as said above. i mean yes some pros, semi pros have orange names, but it is mostly people who are involved directly with the industry and are sources for us as members

If you want the red names to show up personally at your house to beat you to death with a half empty liquor bottle, just keep complaining about who does and doesn't have an orange name. Who. Cares. We already dealt with all this BS, it is the way it is, if someone doesn't have an orange name there's a reason for it (probably "because they didn't want one").

green = mod therefore he/she is a member that has been around long enough to know the rules and can therefore keep the forums clean of trolls and stupid posts
