skiing as a whole. You know what he meant, so stop spinning what he says to be argumentative.

lol i can't believe people are actually hoping they get snitched on, or claiming to be snitching on them. NS has really come to this? fuck you people.

tried to read this whole thread, got to page 4. im way late to this convo but i'll go ahead and throw my piece in. skiing, flying airplanes, drifting i am down with. shooting guns out of a fucking car with no idea where the bullets are going to end? absolute idiocy. i can not believe some people are so incredibly dumb. DUMB

acting like a gangster is no longer cool

time to sell my saga and buy some arc'teryx

Pssshh, You're telling me that everyone on this site, if given the opportunity, would refuse to blast a magazine into complete WILDERNESS while flying down the road? I highly doubt that, and if you happen to do so, then you need to pull your balls out from your ass and flex your 2nd Amendment rights!

On another note, I agree that the Thug image has been blown way out of proportion and seems like they tried really really hard to look gangster. Real gangsters don't peacock ladies and gents. Nevertheless I enjoyed the edit and the Suby sliding was on point.

Oh, and I still don't plan on ever buying/wearing FD product from all the negative reception both current and previous.

Seriously? You're definitely right that he has strong views. Not sure his argument is coherent or intelligent. He is defending "free speech" and "individuality" when that has nothing to do with why people are complaining about the video. For 33 years old, Bishop seems to me like someone who never outgrew the whole "fuck authority, lets be punks!" attitude. I'm not sure who the head honcho of NS is (are they owned by a parent company?), but having your head ad sales guy get into a bunch of incoherent immature arguments all over the internet, not to mention him revealing info on how much money they are making on ads, and making comments like "every page you turn money goes into my pocket", well, it really just doesn't get more unprofessional than that. You can't really tell NS to "grow up" - most of them are 14 years old. But that's what I would say to Mr. Bishop.

You're missing the point. Whether their sales go up or not is irrelevant. This isn't an argument of marketing analysts telling them what they did wrong/right. It's about being a douchebag. "BUT THEY MAKE A LOT OF MONEY AND GET LAID AND PARTY HARDER THAN YOU!!!11!!" isn't a very good excuse for being a douche. And its sad that people think it is.

Good point. And no, I haven't. They absolutely could all be dope ass down to earth guys. As I said with my argument with Bishop here and on TGR, my argument isn't even really against this video so much as the overwhelming obsession with middle class white teenagers who try way too fucking hard to think they are THUG, in the ski industry and elsewhere. In general, I guess, I assume anyone who's entire style is phony and copied from others, as well as people who think its cool to be morons about guns, are douches.

Me and my friends wear tall clothing and listen to a lot of hip hop while skiing....but I wear tight shit off the hill. Have fun, ski, don't look this far into it. This edit was probably so much fun to film btw...

Found some gold in the TGR thread on this video:

"Leaving everything else aside (guns?!?!), the only clip of actual skiing I saw in there, the guy's upper body was awful - his poles were all over the place."

ha

This Lesh guy seems to be a smart guy, so i have to believe that the video was meant as a joke and for the most part i thoroughly enjoyed the edit. However, joke or not, I don't see how a small business owner, whether you have a specific target market in mind or not, can afford to dismiss any other potential business.

If we start to get a trend of video / call-out video / diss video just like in hip-hop....

I will consider that a major win for the world. Nothing could possibly be more entertaining.

Now this edit I have a fucking issue with. DO NOT PROMOTE THE STEREOTYPE THAT PIT BULLS ARE MEAN, THUG, OR HOOD DOGS. I don't care about any of the shit in the FD video but holy shit the pit bull segment has me raging. I fucking hate people who put chains, spike collars, etc on those poor dogs. Regardless of how well you treat them, fuck you for promoting the stereotype.

Hardly. Look I get it's a joke, clearly, but I am defending the reputation of the breed. It would have been funny if it wasn't a dog that is stereotyped as being mean/aggressive/hood.

Sidenote: So stoked that your first post on NS was to call me and my rap out. Holla!

Pit bulls are pretty horrible dogs tho, they are responsible for 1/3 of dog bite fatalities. You should be mad at anyone who keeps the breed around, no need for aggressive pets (or any really).
