Attempted Tyranny from Tyrant Snowboards…

Being that the snowboard community is a pretty small one compared to others, word of whats good, not cool, and just balls out LAME travels pretty fast. With the help of Twitter and Facebook – this news travels even faster. I’m sure if you read my blog you read other, better, blogs as well – like Angry Snowboarder and Deserts Dont Snow. If so then I’m also sure you’ve read and discussed with fellow riders how ignorant, immature, and pretty much ridiculous Tyrant Snowboards is.

After reading Angry’s post and watching the video of Dirty D. I couldnt help but laugh out loud. If I was going to be told to, “cop one of these” or that these boards are the ” illest, freshest, on the market” or  ”one of the dopest boards” and they’re for “serious riders only”?… seriously – lame. All while the sales kid was wearing his flat billed flex-fit hat cocked to the side? what…are we filming Malibu with B-Rad Aspen edition?

Unlike Angry, I would probably nod my head and act as much like this cracka as possible so he doesn’t cop my pack pack and run – but as soon as I left that booth I would fuckin clown he SHIT outa that fool…ah stuck in white ghetto mode…sorry.

anyways, atfer reading angry’s post, Dirty D’s response and other readers comments – I kinda felt bad for D. like, almost as if he was being bullied the way he was taking it so well and keeping his cool even tho angry was dishin it out like Angelina feeding the hungry – the guy couldn’t sell a board if his life depended on it. Then…the big baaaad owner prolly got a text from Dirty about the “shit talking” and came at us all with full force “I’m an idiot – just listen to me talk” mode.(he prolly never switches this mode off)

“you want thug? anytime anywhere. sack up, and send me an invitation. you can bet your fat ass i’ll use “due dilligence” in taking care of this problem. we’ll handle your bitchy attitude real f*cking quick. Weve been in this industry for 6 years and were not going anywhere, EVER so get used seeing us in the snowboarding community turnin heads. i would love to see your next 2 posts bitch, lets see your “destruction” You sound like the biggest f*cking geek in the world. and why is snowboarding the whitest sport around? you ignorant racist f*cking pig. i bet your about 5’5, 300lbs, and definately not getting annnyyy pussy. im right? whats your name? i bet i know you personally…which would mean your a fake f*cking loser who PROBABLY doesnt ride at all. any real snowboarder sure as f*ck wouldnt be runnin their mouth about that gangster shit that we rep with pride. Thats our style, ride or die and f*ck what you heard cause until you hear it from us, your just another broke ass jealous cock sucking paper pushin f*cking fag” …”go f*ck yourself ass jockey. i’ll reiterate this for the angry douche, i will meet you ANYWHERE face to face. Hate on haters, we eat this shit up. infamy is still fame Tyrant fo life!!!!!!” – Comment left from owner of Tyrant Snowboards on Angry’s post

Like Angry, DDS and readers have pointed out multiple times – threatening your potential buyers? not the way to go about it. oh, and acting like the fake wigger who’s fronting harder than Ricky Martin was, isn’t going to help either. Your reaction to us calling you out for not being “thug” shouldn’t be to try and act more thug. We’re only going to laugh even more. Ready?

“Jimster, I think you’re the one that doesn’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. In your sheltered fucking world, you might get away talking like that. If we ever met face to face, you’d be the one with his fucking brains spillin out. How do you know where we come from? I’d think about that first with anyone you encounter. It’s kind of an important life lesson, knowing when to shut your ignorant mouth. When you grow up and catch yourself a good old fasioned man ass beatin, you might change your tune a little.

And Zack thats awesome you’ve started riding over the last 6 years. This industry you speak of has been around for over 30 years at this point. And these well known brands, for which Tyrant Snowboards has the up most respect, were the forefathers of the sport we thug for today. Nothing BUT respect is due. These companies have been around a long time and have put in alot of hard work to get the recognition they have today. Thats why we started building our own snowboards, not just slapping some graphics on some chinese shit that so many of these so called “1st tier snowboard companies” have started doing. This shit takes time and intense dedication. I dont see you guys starting with next to nothing, building great snowboards with no more than snowboard techshop experience and staying around for six years in this economy? Back off the people trying to make their lives all about snowboarding and go enlighten yourself with something you truly love.I apologize to all for not getting the proper information on our boards. But I thank everyone for this uproar, since traffic on our website has increased 20% more this july than the same month in years previous. So at least the people are still getting the real story for Tyrant Snowboards.” – Second comment from Owner of Tyrant Snowboards

And that whole deal of claiming six years in the industry? I’ve been in it for that long and riding for 13 – dont see me makin a shotty snowboard company claiming to be the “freshest and illest on the market”. It’s not about how thug you are, how deep you roll, how hard you worked to get to the hill – It’s about getting to the hill and fucking have fun doing the one thing you worked so fucking hard to do. RIDE.

Quit fronting such a facade and actually try and sell your products. We’re not stupid. We know what you should be offering us and if you’re not, well then we’ll tell you – just don’t bust a cap in our ass – ok?

and PS – I grew up in this “city of sin”…def not a thug.
