TC has encroached on my style

I have been skiing with tree branch poles for almost a decade and today this circus of intellectual property bandits infringed on my copyrighted style (on my home turf too)

As you can see below, my poles have garnered a huge following and the latest episode of TC threatens to chip away at my fan base


The rest of the episode was pretty cool though

This is so fucked up. Absolutely heartbreaking to see the TC guys be so ruthless. I used to look up to them but now.....idk man it seems like they're pulling a Backcountry with this one :(

Tree branches work pretty well. Don't even need baskets.

Thanks for the support everyone. I think I’ll litigate for either royalties, film/animation rights, or one of the van’s tires

My friends and I used to ski with tree branches for poles. All started when one friend broke his pole before a mogul comp and since his parents wouldn't get him poles and he had no money, ended up popping his grips and baskets on some branches.
