virtika would be cool if they had swag

saga was unironically just as “ugly” as virtika but had unmatched levels of swag. wish they never went under.

someone get me my bat. were not done beating the dead horse yet.

virtika would be cool if i was still 19 lol. i was pretty hyped on last friday when first drop released that. but alas, i have grown up and virtika didnt. i would say saga even was growing up with their outerwear color schemes. david lesh def has put a huge mark on his brand and its just not for me. virtika is on the same level as dope snow or montec to me. honestly both make quality products but both are cringey as fuck.

Not gonna lie, I bought a Virtika softshell hoodie. Then spent 2 days with a seam ripper removing the logo's.

quality is kind of bad too, I bought a jacket and pants and zippers and stitching (especially in the pockets) on both broke pretty quickly. not the worst pants you can buy though for sure.

Interesting, I've had 0 issues with mine and I've been wearing them for about 3 or 4 years now with only 1 zipper issue in the past week

I think the quality is pretty variable. We used it for our freeride team Jackets and pants, and I noticed that some people blew up stitching instantly, and some had bomber gear. We were all riding the same days and shit.

the ski shop your mom owns in breckenridge, was the beginning of the end.

yall rich kids trying to stay relevant in the game of freestyle while disrespecting true freestyle skiing and skiers.
at the end of the day, you are worse than Vail Resorts... you could have supported the sport and be sponsoring sick events and the upcoming kids in summit county, Nope, now you have to fake pay bills that mom has been floating you through during the summer months of having a ski shop on main street breck!!!! Narcissism runs in the fam!!!

When did I disrespect him? I'm not a Virtika fan by B Devine is a real nice guy, it was a joke bud. I don't own the shop but even the dude who does currently sure as hell isn't rich, he worked his way up on his own on wall st of all places and hated his life there so he sought out to buy the shop two years ago so he could ski every day. I did the same thing into my management position, worked hard the last 12 years making it in this town with only the help of my own paycheck.

We actually sponsor many local events and are one of the biggest providers of support to team summit, team breck, etc. in both freestyle and big mtn disciplines. Heck, even all the local rail jams have our name on it and we're stoked to be there. We're a bike shop in the summer and don't need any help floating bills, we pay our own way through everything.

I've seen you talk shit before saying this exact same crap, I chose to ignore it because you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about but you need to be set straight. If you'd like to come by the shop sometime to have a chat, I'm here.
