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.

if he wins he’s throwin a 10,000 beer party and we’re all invited…if thats not incentive – i don’t know what is.

middle jump

step up

setup

showtime

going big, bigger, smaller, bigger. With setup averaging 30 ft right now, probably the smallest it’s been all season.

After watching multiple people hit this what seemed to be massive jump – I decided I have to hit it. It’s spring, the snow is soft – I really have nothing to lose. So, I watched a few friends, called my drop, and BAM! Threw the fattest fucking shifty of my life. SO stoked. This was all yesterday and all day today I hit it no prob – even got a somewhat decent shot.

try for a better one tomorrow.

“Mammoth is a natural fit to host Superpark in the late Spring,” says Chris Engelsman, Publisher, SNOWBOARDER Magazine. “Their snowpack is optimum, the weather is fantastic, and their support of park riding is undeniable. We’ve spent six Superparks in Mammoth and couldn’t be more excited to go back and try to top what we saw there last year.”

SNOWBOARDER is also proud to welcome back Gatorade as the presenting sponsor. They were initiated into the Superpark tradition for the first time last year and are back for more from the world’s top snowboarding talent. “SNOWBOARDER is stoked to have Gatorade back again this year as well,” adds Engelsman. “With riders on-hill all day under the spring sun, hydration is key to keeping the session alive and with Gatorade on board no one ever goes thirsty.”

“Superpark is a great event that focuses on having fun and the athletes’ progression,” said Kenny Mitchell, action sports team manager for Gatorade. “Gatorade is happy to be on board with such a great event where we can help fuel riders as they push one another to ride hard in a laid back setting.”

For 2010 SNOWBOARDER has adopted an “Animal House” theme for Superpark dubbing it Animal Park. According to SNOWBOARDER’s editor Pat Bridges “The poster for ‘Animal House’ says it all ‘It was the Deltas against the rules… the rules lost.’ Snowboarding was founded by a bunch of dudes who went against the rules and, well you know the rest. Similarly, SNOWBOARDER started Superpark to create a venue where we didn’t need to follow any rules.” Expect 150 of the world’s best park riders to send it for four days straight as they pledge Tri Landa Air.

SnowboarderMag.com for daily recaps, photos, videos and more from SNOWBOARDER’s Superpark 14.

My sincerest apologies.

Not going to make excuses but just let me say this:

Teaching retards all day for streaks of 20-22 days in a row without a single day off doesn’t really help with ones writing

me - lagging

motivation nor ability.

Clearly I’m just not as good as the good ole AngrySnowboarder. Whose tweet I read this morning prompted me to stop sucking at life and actually post something.

What you can expect in the next week or so, even though the events may of passed, will be

-Roxy Chicken Jam

-Coachella

-Ski School 80’s Glam Party

-Random Mammoth stuff

-Trip to Sqauw (barf)

-Ski School Poodle Prom Masquerade

- And I’m sure i can find a few more things.

So, obviously this list just proves how much i suck.

With this breath of stale posts WILL come freshness.

Today the PBRJ finals are goin down along with the Final stop on the JLA I AM SNOWBOARDING TOUR.

ANNNNNNNND

WCI is coming up next weekend which I think I’ll be either missing my best friend leaving back to NZ for OR having a guest blogger do up for me.

Along with all that other crap you can expect those

DENVER, CO (February 12, 2010)

Snowboarder Kevin Pearce is adjusting nicely to Craig Hospital (Englewood, CO) where he is undergoing rehabilitation for injuries sustained on December 31, 2009. Kevin continues to show his determination and positive attitude as he makes progress and defies the odds every day.

This has been a tough but inspiring time for the Pearce family. The outpouring of thoughts and prayers from fans & friends continues to help the family stay strong and be a source of strength for Kevin.

Kevin and his parents would like to extend a special thanks to the following companies that have shown tremendous support for Kevin and his family during this time: Burton Snowboards, Nike 6.0, JetBlue, Amp Beverage, Volcom, Frends and Mosaic Sports Management.

Pia and Simon would also like to thank the United States Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA), which continues to offer guidance to Kevin and his family.

For media inquires please contact Danielle Burch at 212.529.1598 and/or danielle@shpny.com.

glad they did a little classier coverage on KP than what they did for the Georgian luger. (showing the death footage over and over again? really?)

here’s a link to the KP story clip – http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/35412256#35412256

THANK GOD visitors freak out and leave town when the word of ” ten feet of snow” gets ’round – That way there’s NO snowboard lessons and I get to go ride freshies ALL day.

THE MOST EPIC POW I HAVE EVER RIDDEN. Seriously, Nikki, Jamie, Ryan, RJ,  and I rode chair 25 and rode out and under chair 9. If you’ve ever rode Mammoth then you know that these are prime sweet spots. We were gettin waist deep in the trees – day couldn’t have been better.

Some pics from the day – so much fun…

i mean it’s horrible don’t bother coming up…yeah…don’t bother

By now everyone knows about Kevin and his super serious accident in the pipe.

with this – everyone has heard of the dick bag of a “woman” Christine Brennan.

this is my wall post after joining the FB group “snowboarders against Christine Brennan” :

“if the limit of the sport is controlled might as well make the next olypics the last since everyone will be at the same level. how can you say you need to limit how fast or how high an athlete can go to be the best. the next time a down hill racer crashes, i hope she says they need to put speed limit signs on the cours…e and bigger breaks on the skis – oh and bulk up the padding on their aerodynamic suits. or the next time a a luge cart crashes maybe make the course a little more flat and not so icy.

who the fuck does she think she is. i mean i have a vagina and all but to see a cunt bucket like THAT doing sports? its like seeing George W. give an IQ test.”

Here’s the video of her displaying her stupidity on national television

I follow Todd Richards on twitter (@btoddrichards) and his rants are, I’m sure, the exact feelings of anyone of us.

I want to send my love, wishes, and prayers out to Kevin and his family. The riding community is pullin for ya.

This is the latest update from his site ( www.kevinpearce.com) :

Kevin Update #5

Posted on 01.13.10

SALT LAKE CITY, UT (January 13, 2010)

“Snowboarder Kevin Pearce (Norwich, VT) is continuing to recover at the University of Utah Hospital. He consistently encourages his doctors and family with the strides he is making.

Elaine Skalabrin, MD, Medical Director, Neuro Critical Care, and one of Kevin’s doctors, states, “Kevin continues to improve and is actively participating in his therapies. He is making progress on a daily basis.”

Pia and Simon Pearce, Kevin’s parents, have been by Kevin’s side at the hospital since his arrival. They would like to share: “ We cannot say enough good things about the doctors, nurses, and support staff here at the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City. They have shown Kevin and our family the best of what modern medicine can offer and have been completely caring and supportive throughout this entire process. We extend our heartfelt appreciation and admiration to everyone involved Kevin’s recovery.”

Kevin’s Facebook Fan page, Well Wishes to our Frend Kevin Pearce, is still the preferred site for people posting their get-well wishes and for getting the most current and reliable information.”

Lets try and focus the positive vibes and energy towards KP and make his recovery the biggest slap in the face for Christine “cunt bucket” Brennan.

Myself and roommates don’t noooooormally follow such events so avidly, but seeing as a good friend of ours, Greg Bretz, was competeing…we had to make sure the baby boy had our support. After qualifying third to Vito and Lago, Greg sadly finished sixth. FUCKING STOKED. Not first but hey-how many of your friends competed…exactly. Nonetheless, all of us here in Mammoth are stoked for our boy and wish him nothing but the best of luck in comps to come.

Here’s a short video of the finals and the f
