not angry, merely making an observation. If anything I would say I got the "douche chills" from the video.

and to whoever said I should hold my opinions until I met Lesh, save your cock scented breath. I have met Dave, and he was as cocky and dismissive in real life as he is in this edit.

FD makes sick stuff so props for that. They also have more money and skill then me, and can fly a plane, so props for that stuff too. Only thing i'm really not cool with is radomly shooting out the Subie's window and blasting street signs. I pray they were using blanks. Guns aren't toys and for sure are nothing to joke about.

honesty enjoyed the shananigans, apart from the guns, more than the skiing.

Anyone over the age of 25 realizes that this was at least 90% of the skiing/snowboarding videos that were the beginning of the "newschool" or "freestyle". Ever heard of a little film company called Absinthe? Or maybe the videos that started with TB1, TB2, TB3, etc.? The FD edit was Nickelodeon shit compared to those videos. I loved this edit.

Oh, and for the quality? I wore my FD Wear the last 3 days at Big Sky, in some of heaviest and wettest snow I've ever been in. I stayed perfectly dry and perfectly warm.

I would think this video was funny and a joke except for the flying and blatant retarded driving. Closed roads are one thing, almost having a head on with that subaru who stopped because they were being dumb asses is another.

As someone who has their PPL and pursuing aviation as a career, it seems pretty dumb to give the impression of being irresponsible while flying (i.e. even though this was edited and clearly not shot in a day I wouldn't want to risk the FAA coming after my ass claiming I was drinking before flying). In and of itself, it seems like the pilot was competent and skilled, however it's pretty surprising he would be willing to have an edit like this on the web.

If I was an investor who put in money to get FD off the ground I'd be pretty pissed right now

That was absolutely horrendous. The values portrayed are exactly the opposite of what I wish to align myself with. The gun really stands out - flaunting unsafe gun control, shooting out of a moving vehicle without knowing what is behind the "target," holding the gun sideways, the list goes on. Unsafe driving practices, a general attitude of cockiness and douchebaggery...I'll pass on all First Drop products and encourage others to do the same.

Chugging vodka before piloting a plane?

Shooting blindly into the woods from a moving vehicle without knowing who/what is there?

Shooting up road signs?

Speeding and powersliding on a snowcovered two lane public road while towing in traffic?

Make a video of it and post it on the net?

Is that a product promo? "We are fucking idiots! Buy our stuff!" Or is it a plea to be arrested and lose your pilots license?

who gives a shit? Giving skiing a bad name? Give me a fucking break.

I've been annoyed as anyone by fd's antics over the last couple years, and I'm not a fan of their gear on any level, but what the fuck.

That edit was ridiculously entertaining, and straight up silly. If you didn't laugh or shake your head in disbelief when Lesh, plus grill, was letting rounds go out the window of a moving car....while driving...while mugging the camera, well, you're a really, really serious person.

I thought it came across as a satire of the brand's reputation, like a confirmation of everyone's worst "fears" or an amalgamation of every negative skier stereotype ever created. I thought it was surprisingly self-aware, cheeky as fuck, and just well done and a perfect response to the general attitude many have towards fd.

Yeah, some people have pointed out that it reeks of "trying", and I get that, but we're talking about a for-profit company, not an individual who has no intrinsic motivation for notoriety other than low self-esteem or ego.

Everyone needs to take a deep breath, take it down a notch, and stop acting so offended by anything and everything. A lot of you are coming across as totally pretentious and like the fucking PC police. If you think the edit was stupid, corny, etc., fine but all the hyperbole about "how unprofessional" and mentioning investors, and other nonsense about "business models" and shit just needs to quit.

This is an example of NS turning into a 24 hour news network where everything is gotcha, and outrage over bs.

Exactly.

I also think that this could count as the absolute greatest TGR troll of all time. Look at how pissed they are:

I mean shit... if you hate this then we should all band together, praise jesus and try to get Rap music banned. Maybe we can go back in time and lead the army of scared white guys against NWA?

Well if you want to go there we could start even mentioning that lots of people in the ski industry go on both, and many people on NS are NOT this '13 year old gangster white kid' that everyone wants to make them out to be.

We gettin' older muhfucka.
