Rant About Whatever

Charlie_KellyEVO.com is pissing me off. GF ordered some Faction skis for me advertised with bindings NOT MOUNTED (literally bold on their website) for Christmas. They came in with the bindings mounted and not how I like them set up (I ride true center). Been texting the customer service rep who is basically like “my bad they come from the factory that way”. Agreed to return them and even pay extra for the 2021 model and now they are trying to nickel and dime me on the shipping (asked them to cover expedited shipping since now I won’t have them for Christmas). I understand if I had taken them out of the packaging or they came damaged or something, but they literally sent me skis pre-mounted when they advertised them as the opposite. Time to head over to Backcountry or a local shop I guess.

r00kieNot evo too!! The shop pandemic is getting out of control.

Craw_DaddyMy mom insists on coming to visit me for Christmas every year which isn't bad in and of itself but she always wants to stay with me in my one-bedroom apartment. like get a hotel woman! There's not enough room for you. So now for the next week I can't smoke weed or wank or fucking do anything. She doesn't have any interest in the outdoors so we can't go do anything fun. Just sit around until we hate each other like every year. I didn't move 1600 miles away from home to deal with this bullshit!

MiIfHunterWhere is your father? Didn’t read anything in here about a father in your life.

Craw_Daddyparents are divorced. My dad doesn't come visit me which I'm ay okay with

Titus69Why do I feel like I’ve seen some other rant on here about evo? That’s shitty, I really have no fucking clue why any legit site or shop sells new skis already mounted like that, just assume a boot size and go to recommend? that’s what buying a shops demo ski is for, and even then you can still ski multiple mounting areas and boot sizes. Hopefully you get this shit sorted in your favor, there’s a cool local shop for new and used outdoor shit, they’re selling a bunch of touring skis and have been clearly using their retail bindings and skis and mounting them, but using shitty touring setups too like some faction eileens and other park skis on light pins.

Charlie_KellyYeah dude makes no sense, a buddy of mine got the same exact ski/binding combo also from Evo and his didn’t come mounted. And I don’t get why they are giving me such a hard time about shipping, especially since I’d be buying a newer model for more money. I’ve worked in customer service most of my adult life, I’ll never turn into a Karen. But eventually I’ll say fuck it and go somewhere else. Thank god for capitalism.

MiIfHunterAhhhh a dead beat father I see. You should kick his ass

Craw_Daddynot a dead beat just an asshole haha. At least he understands that housing in Denver is stupid expensive and living spaces are small though!

MiIfHunterHe prob just using that as an excuse not to visit you. Is he in prison or anything or just a filthy drunk and alcoholic?

theabortionatorEveryone trying to sponsor their kids content on insta to make them a thing.

Some are pretty cool and non sponsired but run by the day where the kid jist rips and seems stoked, is fucking good and the people post but now seeing so much sponsored stuff.

I guess its the same as looke at my ____ daughter hitting grind bars in the trick park!

Idk, just let the kids have fun. Post a clip for youe friends or something but this whole race to be insta famous or be influencers is so shot.

cool_nameCan’t or won’t?

Craw_DaddyWon't. I'm not taking a bong rip or cranking one out with my mom in the other room like some kind of fuckin degenerate. The walls in this place are paper thin.

Rotten_TrumpkinsWent skiing today for the first time this winter. Holy fuck the lifties probably had to ask 20 people to put their mask on in the lift line. I imagine they do this hundreds of times a day. Like how fucking hard is it? I agree it sucks. My goggles fog, but they clear out on the lift. I am worried for those subzero days tho cuz fog will 100% freeze.

Also had at least 5 different people tap me on the shoulder in line and ask if I wanted to ride with them or if they could ride with me. What part of load with your party is difficult to understand? No I don't wanna sit on the lift with your rando ass right now. Ffs. Why is this a question???

AyylmaoHoly shit you sound like a massive fucking vagina

Rotten_TrumpkinsBruh you pissed I keep schooling you on here?

AyylmaoYour post is defensive, keep it chill my guy

Rotten_TrumpkinsOf course I'm gonna defend against some cunt calling me a vagina. No pun intended. When I turn into a zombie from the covid vaccine, I'm coming for you first baby

AyylmaoI’m quaking in my boots 🥾 😳 You ain’t nothing but an internet lowlife who spends an excessive amount of time on internet forums. Go back to school kiddo 👶

Rotten_TrumpkinsYay the Moderna shipments haven't arrived and may be delayed. Hospital cancelled all appointments and pushing back a week because ya know holidays are more important than vaccinating through that and the weekend. Its not like we don't have people who work 24/7 and could administer these vaccinations or anything....

Maybe they'll send out last minute notices if it shows up but doesn't sound like it.

Way to go McKesson. You had one job lol.

zuesI love rushed vaccines that make the users sick. Sweet.

OregonDeadmaybe time to come out to Mom about the bong mang. it’s becoming more mainstream and if it keeps you off the opiates then mom should be all for it IMO

BdoobzJust curious, is there actual evidence to disprove the effectiveness of the vaccines(s)? It does seem quick, but is speed necessarily a core component here? Scientific capability is always improving, which may logically enable faster development times of things of this nature.

Charlie_KellyI’m a reasonable person but this irk’s me. It also doesn’t mention they are a track system binding (not a fan). The rep was like “we’ll comp 3 day shipping or do expedited for $25” and “oh and I noticed another rep tried to charge you for the return shipping but I took care of that”. Like bro I get that you are trying but you fucked up my original order and when I agreed to pay over $200 for a newer model without bindings you are still giving me a hard time. Plus it’ll take what 5-7 business days to get the skis back to them and then they have to ship the new ones back to me? That’s another two fucking weeks. I’m done, gonna try to find them somewhere else or just pick a different ski. Really bummed on this whole situation.

Charlie_KellyWhat’s the point of having kids if you can’t exploit them for cash?

danbrownfree 3 day shipping or $25 next day air is an absolute horseshit response. you need to keep climbing up the chain of command. I managed customer service for Backcountry for 7 years and the higher you get, the more power the manager has, and it sounds like you have a legitimate case to make. it's easier said than done but don't "allow" them to fuck you over when they're in the wrong. at the very least they should be shipping you a different pair of skis with a discount applied (within reason) to get them closer to the price you paid for the original ones, with free next day air. they should also ship them NOW and not make you wait to send them back. at the very least, they should tell you you have 30 days to send back the fucked up pair or they'll just charge your card. they have the power to do that. it's christmas for christ sakes and they just pulled in millions from black friday/cyber week and also winter sales. i can't speak for evo but backcountry's sales were up something like 40% YoY even during the pandemic, so I can't imagine evo had anything but a similar response.

cool_nameI would just tell them you are sending back the skis and want a full refund.



Then buy the skis somewhere else.


If they don’t give you a refund, just dispute the charge with your credit card company

cool_nameYou can’t test for long term effects, without long term testing.




imo the legitimate criticism of the vaccine testing (ie not scaremongering about microchips) is just that the testing was not sufficient to know all of the possible side effects, in particular the long term ones.


maybe the risks are worth it for older people, but I’m not going to take a vaccine with unknown risks to reduce my risk of death from covid from 99.997 to 99.998.

AbiHI am sooooooooooooooo aggravated right now.

it took me six hours to attach my camper to my truck to take it to the camper store double check and make sure that it was ultra safe for long distance. Guess what they said??? It wasn’t. Now I have to re-design how my truck camper is attached to my truck. Pretty freaking aggravating that this camper is keeping me from ski season when the original intention was to have it so I could ski full time easier.


the beginning of this season just feels like a replay of last season and it really has me down right now.

Rotten_TrumpkinsI guess I'll just post in here since mods don't want another trump thread. Fucker is such a despicable piece of shit. Good grief, they need to add some clause to the law where presidents can't pardon associates of theirs. And this blackwater thing. Wtf man. It's all for votes and money. That's it. He doesn't give a flying fuck about this country.

Just one more stain on the 4 years of what will be known as the worst presidency in US history.
