MOGULS

So I saw B.Devine on the hill the other day and we started talking about the ultimate bumps & Jumps. (most of you don't know who B.Devine is, but he rides for 4FRNT) He told me that he was invited but he decided not to go, partly because 4FRNT told him not to go because it involved bumps. He continued to tell me that he felt that moguls were a backward progression of skiing.
Personally, I enjoy skiing bumps and I told B. that I think it's all about skiing what you want to ski. He kind of agreed, but I think that was just to appease me.
Does 4FRNT feel so threatened by moguls that they need to boycott any event that has bumps in it?

4FRNT guys, please clarify before I have to boycott 4FRNT. And please know that I really want to be down with 4FRNT and I'm unhappy to hear this from B. This kind of reeks of the MSP bs. You know, trying to influence people in shady directions out of insecurity and fears...
What do you all think?

I think thats sucks for him and 4frnt cuz it was a sick comp there were tons of top names and coverage airs this sunday so they are the ones missin out. Moguls are skiing and i love everything about skiing so bring on the bumps!!




Pete is currently sulking around Mt. Hood, shooting with Poor Boyz Productions and hitting on Kristi Leskinen. She hates guys, Pete lamented, so it’s not going good. Apparently Canada isn’t the only thing that’s tough for Pete to get into.

so many awesome skiers come from the moguls. To say it is not progression, I feel anything making someone a better skier is progression no matter what.

i think the big freeski companies need to take a step back. there tryin to create a ski community based soley on park/bc,ect. they need to realize taht opening up to other things might be good.

moguls are soo hard too... you think its hard throwing a D spin or cork 7 off a table? try throwing it in between moguls and another jump and more moguls with out time for preparation in between. I have even more respect for TJ after hearing he can kill it in moguls, park, BC, pipe... EVERYTHING

Moguls are real important to skiing as a sport. Without them, kids will head straight for the park without knowing how to ski blues well..the same shit that plauges snowboarding.....BTW, did anybody see the article about Toby Dawson in the Washington Post. Its pretty cool that in a big metro newspaper, the front cover of the sports section has a huge pick up a guy doing a corked something with rossi scratches..I was stocked to see it..

Look at the name of bump competitions. Usually it involves the word 'freestyle' in it somewhere. Its the route of freeskiing as we know it, and to deny bumps is like saying just get on a snowboard.

Moguls is where freestyle/freeskiing began. Without them we would prob all be racing or something.

Even if it is true, 4frnt probably just doesn't have a desire to be associated with bumps. They don't make mogul skis, they have no pro mogul skiers...maybe it's just a territory they're staying out of. Doesn't mean they don't respect it or that they're douschebags.

i think 4front just doesn't wanna be associated with anything other than freestyle. u guys would all be ripping them if they made a mogul ski or something. so wutever. i'm glad they don't participate in any bumps. there r enough companies that support it anyway.

huh. ^spineless.
I don't give a fuck if 4FRNT doesn't want to make mogul skis, dipshits. I do care that they told their guy that they didn't want him to ski in it because it has moguls in the comp. That's just plain hating. And to the dude who said they just want to be in 'freestyle'....
bumps are part of freestyle you dumb mofo, it's called roots. Get a clue.
And I don't want to hear that I shouldn't boycott 4FRNT because some fan of the brand says I shouldn't, I want to hear what 4FRNT has to say, and sooner or later someone from that company will be on here and read this and then hopefully I'll get an answer from them.

i would be willing to bet money that B devine wasnt invited to compete in the Bumps and Jumps and was just kidding with you, he isnt known at all, and there were really good people that werent invited, like steele, jon, mike wilson... and about 30 other guys...

Does the 4FRNT team even have any decent bump skiers, or (bump) skis for that matter? I'm just asking; But if the answer is no to either, I'm not surprised they wouldn't want their product represented.

They guys in bumps and jumps were skiing bumps really well with center mounted skis. They probably weren't true center but definitely not alpine.
