i HOPE this shall cause some reasonable convo's....post your position and a reason why...i think its sorta good i mean look at that setup....dope dub kink w/stairs, when was the last time a company gave us one to play around on? none that i remember...everyone is saying keep our sport away from the corporate world and what not...yes i agree but lets not keep us totally sheltered from it!! we need money, look at snowboarding, they get paid HUGE bucks because they grew big with other companies, skiing is the opposite. i donno about you but it'd be nice to do what you love AND get paid the way snowboarders do (more than us) haha....well if ANYONE understood that then give me a reply...lates

Hey- if a company wants to drop thousands of dollars on our sport, I don't really give a fuck who it is. All the 'corporations are bad' whiners should stop for a second and look at the logo on their computer, or their clothes, or their car.

Q: How many NS.com members does it take to answer a simple question?
A: 10. One to answer, three to say 'How fucking stupid are you?', three to say 'This has already been asked a thousand times', and three to say 'Who the fuck cares anyway?'

although yes i am sick of people bitchin about the 'corperate whores' and i think freestyle skiing needs more money dumped onto it, it definatly should not become the next skateboarding... i was a skateboarder for the longest time, and now that im forced out of it by injuries i can look back and notice how it is way too popular for its own good.

they see a new market... so they are investing in it for some possible returns. 'McDonalds discovers a cooler alternative to snowboarding...'

its all fine w/ me as long as it doesn't fuck up the skiers image like the skaters' image got jacked.

who cares if its a fad, i thought we were in it for the FUN anyways.

And even if it did become a fad whats so bad about that. Skiers would start gettin paid well, strugling video companies would go from no budget to a big one and Freeze might not completely suck.

it was sick, ronald mcdonald killed it. and mcdonalds just gave skiers money, how cool is that. instead of paying for better beef, they built a rail that was immediately torn down... which was a shame.

The more sponsers skiing gets the better. Mickdy Ds would be a big step because they would be one of the first sponsers who doesn't make a product that has to do with skiing, and that is what skiing needs.

the more cash in the sport, the better it will become. I wonder if mcdonalds will sponsor me, free dollar menu for a year...mmm

but yeah, I think its pretty good actually, outve a bunch of companies, i think McDonalds is pretty neutral and generally not 'the man' of the corporations. The more cash, the better

It does not matter if it is a fad or not. This this the United States, we are run by $$. Right now freestyle skiing does not have the money like snowboarding or skateboarding. And if you want progression, you need money and to get money and sponsers you need corporations to help pay for that. Look what MTV has done for skateboarding with Viva La Bam. We need major corportions to understand what we are doing and help us (the community) out. That is my .02 cents.

Screw McDonalds. I don't care about big companies dumping cash, but McDonalds just annoys me. If they had skiing in their commercials, I'm rather sure it would make it look stupid.

actually im pretty sure mcdonald do care about skiers, well in whistler, they proly do..

shit why would you buy some pepper at IGA for like 4$ the little can when you can always get some at mcdo.

And the mcdeals are probably the cheapest way to get some food in whistler except eating noodles all day long.

Mcdonald are rich fuckers so if they can give us just a little bit of theyr money then why not, it dosent mean i respect them or anything but that's still good for our sport

Meh - they just picked up on Ryan's plan anyhow. That aside, moral standpoints on McDonald's aside, events like that are crucial for building the sport and the industry.

lets think about it this way. snowboarding was in all of the events skiing was at the WSI. snowboarding is pretty much the only mainstream snow sport. mcD's sponsored the event because it had snowboarding in it. they also sponsored the X games which coinsidentally also had snowboarding in it. they dont sponsor any other events that have soley skiers in them do they?

Im the only one who cares, because from here, on my end, it seems like im the only one whos informed. Mcdonalds are the most decietful company in the fast food industry. Marketing food is no where near beneficial to you to CHILDREN. do you guys understand that? There marketing and promoting food thats NOT GOOD FOR YOU to kids. They have marketing campaigns that target the youth, who cant think for themselves. They promote 100% all beef patties, which isnt lying, because the company that makes there fake beef burgers name is 100% all beef! A little decietful yes? They are consuming authentic culture WORLD WIDE, popping up in japan, saudi arabia, and other naturally beautiful places in the world and smearing there logo all over there sky line. Fucking americanization. Im not anti corporate, im anti MCDONALDS.... then this company, who does all these horrible things, just invades your sport, the sport i love, and will never let go..... and fucking brands it. Puts RONALD MCDONALD ON A FUCKING HANDRAIL.... and you guys say its ok... you guys dont even give a shit about it.... because its giving skiing a little corporate boost.

I think you all need to second guess your priorities.

Im glad to see that you are educating yourself and listening to both sides of the issues... good job

HaHa My dad works for a robotics company and they did a machine for Mcds and heres how they make their burgers. At the end of the day a slaughter house has scraps and left over meat not good enough for supermarkets and butchershops. So McDonalds buys that and they use a chemical to fuse the odds and ends together and then pump 60% fat into the mix the chemical bonds the fat and meat and they slice it into patties MMMM but they r so gooooood!!

canonrider. I hope you don't forget to shower at least once in the next two months. Also, let me congradulate you on fighting the man. You truly are unique, EDUCATED, and oh ya, a tool.

First off, they helped push a sport YOU LOVE. they didn't force feed you paties. Infact, as long as you don't eat fast food a lot, you're fine, and it all gets worked out. So quite your bitiching about these big businesses and go appluad tehm for giving some of their money to a sport we all love.

oh, also, eat shit.

Melvs, first of all, showering? awesome, lets stay on topic here. 2. You didnt address or respond to any of the facts that i brought to the table, basically the only point i read in your post is 'if you dont like it, dont eat it' am i right?

But what if the gap, and abacrombie and fitch, wal-mart, and Kathie Lee Gifford handbags started sponsoring skiing? would you rep gap stuff and put a kathielee sticker on your helmet? is that how you want to be represented?

The point is, that we can do without mcdonalds, we have the resources. Skiing is building a solid foundation on roots companies who are getting the job done.

And next time your gonna tell me to eat shit and shower, try to actually have some credible responses to the actual points im making instead of insulting me

thanks

Canonrider is right, we can do without mcdonalds and its corrupt money. When you are thankful for money from mcdonalds, then you know something is wrong..... we have sick companies like armada, line and sublux (to name a few) help push our sport, then we have ronald mcdonald fuckign around on a rail... shit lets all where fucking spandex, and why bother trying to promote an image for skiing, get one shot of that ion the newspaper and its liek burning the skiing flag.

'why not just accept it when it's so much harder to fight it?'

Your telling me to compromise my morals, and just roll over on something that i feel so strongly about because its EASIER to do so?

We dont need them, you need to open your eyes and see the enormous potential that skiing has without an international disgrace like mcdonalds.
