16 of the worst most painful interviews

Freeskier posted a bunch of interviews from SIA.


The interviewer is the worst most terrible human being I have ever seen.
Not sure which one is most awful.

The Will Wesson one where he makes him do animal noises?
The Banks Gilberti one where he decides to stop the interview and caress his hair like a creepy molester?
The Cody Townsend one where he has his pants down?

This type of "hey I'm a quirky fun guy!" schtick makes me want to shoot my dick off.

As I said in the 14/15 gear thread. This dude is a fucking chonch. Ski media is a joke filled with some of the biggest clownshoes imaginable.

I would say "hey freeskier! Why don't you hire me for that shit, I would do a much better job." But then I would have to hang out with the kind of people that select dipshits like that dongle to represent them.

He's not that bad. But it's dumb as fuck how he only wants to talk about partying, like seriously dude. Nobody gives a fuck. Talk about skiing.

Henrik is the man, these aren't suppose to be super professional interviews, its just friends talking to friends, what do you guys really expect? I shot 18 booth videos last year at SIA and cranked them out the day I shot them (6 a day for 3 days) its very hectic at SIA, everyone is busy, everyone is hungover and doesnt wanna talk and after doing 4 or 5 videos in 3 hours, it gets slightly stale. But, the point is that you're not suppose to sit down and watch every single video back to back, you're suppose to watch the ones that interest you, because honestly when it comes to filming booths at a trade show, they're all the same and the videos never going to be perfect. Not sure why you guys are hating do much, doubt any of you could do better on either side of the camera.

Like most people, I don't watch SIA coverage for "personalities". I want to see the new shit. I don't care what most of these people have to say, and I really don't care about the dumbfuck conducting the interviews. It's not my problem that people are hung over and don't want to do their hard job of promoting ski gear.

I hate it when people paid to endorse a product talk about how awesome that product is. No shit they're going to say it's the best shit ever. I would much rather the athletes talk about where they've been and where they are going and adding personality compared to saying "this is ____."

That video series wasn't supposed to be about introducing product and it wasn't so I don't get why you're mad. Is it because you want to perpetuate some sort of stereotype that freeskier fucks up everything? I'm sorry but your opinion is wrong, most of those videos were awesome.

I agree with the fact that the chat should be light and easy, but that Henrik fellow has to stop. He makes every single one of those video's almost unbearable to watch

I'm part of a prime demographic who actually has a lot of disposable income to spend on the products the ski industry is looking to sell. I am a target of social media advertising. Companies like Freeskier cover these events to get me to come to their website so I can be a target of more advertising. I'm not entitled, but I'm well within my right to speak about what a shitty job they did in keeping me interested so I could be the target of MORE ads. I am a consumer.

Well freeskier doesn't care they're not a ski company so they made the videos they wanted to make. You can't really expect anything from a company that actually doesn't need your support for anything.

By this I mean freeskier doesn't care if they didn't cover what one or two people online wanted to see, they produced videos based on what they thought was interesting.


Not to toot my own horn but I really liked the videos Jeff and I produced at SIA last year, we focused on the gear and what the company was producing for the next year, etc like if you were to visit the booth yourself at the convention.

If you like this Henrik character, it means your are a totally fat faced idiot who hangs out with fucktards with no style or sensibility of character.

Also, he keeps wanting to talk about partying to people who are obviously repulsed by his presence.
