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.

Looked down at my ankle that I couldn’t move and crawled off the tramp.
As of right now its pins and needles on the top of my foot, I can’t pull it up but I can wiggle all my toes, and there two gash like marks around my ankle that look like the skin was pulled apart…but there’s no blood.

Conveniently, i leave at 11am today go home to Palm Springs and the coming Friday I’m supposed to drive back to Mammoth.
All this may change now that i am unable to walk.

I didn’t go to the hospital because i have no insurance. I’m waiting to go when I get home.

Both my Mom and I know this is pretty bad due to the fact and way I was crying.
A. I never cry
B. if I do its only after a long time and due to the fact that i can’t ride

So, the fact that i was balling on the phone from the pain…not good.
My mom even said, “Missy, you’ve never cried like this.” I told her I know and I’m just really scared – which I am.
This is going to jeopardize my whole season, my job, my living situation…everything.
Not only am I ultimately fucking up my deal, but Brooke, Nolan, and Daryl might have to find another person to live in the house super last min. Hopefully, if that turns out to be the case, Josh will still be looking for a place and would want to take it over.

I cant sleep and the Advil just isn’t doing the job. Kumara had told me, “Everything happens for a reason, God loves me, and I’m going to be ok.” I told her, “perhaps this is what I get for not going to church in a long while.” we shared a laugh and then I was once again focused on the pain. As i was laying on the floor elevating my ankle on a chair, I began to think about what Kumara had told me…perhaps this was all for a reason. for example; I will now have a reason to sit and make my resume for that ESPN snowboard blogger position EPIC. Also, it will give me all the time i need to make an awesome audition video for The Real World.
Whatever this “reason” maybe…it blows ass since it keeps me from riding.

i think the swelling has gone down just a bit over the past few hours, but it’s still sore to the touch and I can’t pull my foot up…the worst part is the pins and needles on the top of my foot – that is what’s concerning me the most.

I’m pretty sure that I’ve torn some ligaments which in recent experience (right knee ACL and right Shoulder ACL) just sucks. If anything, hopefully I’ll only be out for a couple months…I think I could handle that but anything more… I might as well just stay the fuck home in the desert.

I’m going to try and find a comfortable position again and see if sleeping sets in. Most likely wont, but i cant try.

bummed.

my moms new laptop that she treated herself to was taken
my little brothers laptop which is his life was taken
my moms savings of 3k for emergency and x-mas is gone
among other things

im glad they’re fine but it still erks me to know that someone came into my moms house and took stuff that she works so hard for
for a single mother – nothing comes easy-but it can go just like that.
i dont doubt that it was some dirty fucking mexican

i begged her not to live in Indio-scum bucket of a town.

kills me to imagine what my mom is going through right now

so im going to ask for donations just to help them replace the things that were taken
anything and everything helps
the button is on the page and the $$$ will go into a PayPal account that i manage

thank you in advance for your prayers, cares, and hopeful donations

-Mel

might I mention that before the video, after the video, and then after the second video…RAFFLE!
tons of stuff was gettin raffled off. i think like 3 boards boots bindings tons of beanies headphones everything – you name it – even free beer.

on to Videograss. i honestly don’t really remember much of if it due tot he fact that i was freezing..
