I can appreciate the aesthetic of this video but as a skier, I find it extremely annoying and corny.

Prada and UK. I’m curious to see if Gus’ll pick up a new ski sponsor too beforehand

Is that omar from the wire?

mike c williams. Dudes a tool. He cut a gash into his face to make himself attractive to the acting scouts for hbo. Obviously it worked because he got his ass one of the best roles in the wire. He was in boardwalk empire too.

Definitely noticed he's starting to diversify, did a bit of TV for the Tokyo Olympics last summer, started to be closer to the world of fashion, can't say I was surprised to see him on Prada, sounds like a good match to me.
Honestly good for him.

I was going to ponder if Gus would become the Lewis Hamilton of the ski world but then I realized - Lewis is still at the top of the game. So he can be as weird as he wants. It is hilarious how different Lewis is from the rest of the grid.

If Prada released a g suit maybe I would care, unfortunately they released the same black north face jacket I already own :/

I can’t tell what brand makes the snowboards tho. I guess this is better that what gucci and Louis Vuitton does in taking a $20 pair of absolute budget goggles and pretty much rental skis and charging like $200 + for the goggles and like 9k for the skis. But imagine paying 4K for prodigy’s instead of 450 lmao.

If I'm honest, this makes me like Faction less. Good for them for aiming high but dayum they're really feeling like they want to take over all of skiing. Like Trek with bikes, but not as mechanically intricate, diverse, and catered to athletes.

Personally I dont like Kenworthy at all. I don't like the way he uses his platform that he got from skiing. Ex. posting thirst traps and continually bringing politics into skiing. He makes me cringe so hard and this prada bullshit is the icing on the cake. But respect to him for brining his A game to the olympics

I can’t tell what brand makes the snowboards tho. I guess this is better that what gucci and Louis Vuitton does in taking a $20 pair of absolute budget goggles and pretty much rental skis and charging like $200 + for the goggles and like 9k for the skis. But imagine paying 4K for prodigy’s instead of 450 lmao.

I mean a lot of "fashion" brand stuff is just a shirt or something you could get somewhere else for wayy cheaper.

Gucci is coming out with skis called the plateaus. And im buying them.
