Yet most of this site reveres assholes like AR6_rider
Now I don't know about TBK, but I think if its a troll, it's an excellent one, and if its real, it's incredible marketing. Not only does everyone on NS know what it is, but there are constant new threads about them. If they drop skis, even if 1% of NS buys them and the rest hate them, that's a shit load of sales. These guys are geniuses. Doesnt matter what they say, as long as it's generating hype, good or bad.

I think you're overestimating. It's not that easy to make it as a ski brand and the attention they get on NS is almost exclusively negative.

I think more people on ns will buy them than most people think. According to their site the skis are gonna be $300, thats incredibly inexpensive and worth a shot to try em imo
It appears the name TBK Skis (I searched a few different versions of the name) is not a registered business in the state or Oregon. Some one should register the name haha.

This makes me smile... and I totally support someone doing this!

Except when they snap in half on the first day and the owner tells you your a whiny little bitch when you try to warranty them. I will be shocked if one pair of tbk skis is ever made.

This is why I spent five hundo on icelantics. Fuck shitty skis
One thing I learnt early on was that no matter how rude or cunty people would be on here, the key is to be nice back, or at least rational (if you're trying to start some kind business or venture.) You can't mirror back the energy**. So here's a good video on the subject of energy conversion.. it's long and it's not for everyone but it will turn you into a master.
So most consumers want want perfection now, and if you're not perfect, be ready to see other people's imperfections. Then use the magic of conversion.
** Then again, if you persist and be a bitch back to bitches (like TBK), you might get somewhere.. just not sure where it's where you want to go.
