I’d help fund some fuck backcountry.com stickers, especially if the goats getting fucked. Any chance backcountry.com’s hq is in Enumclaw, wa?

Ok, now back to deleting all my posts on TRG that have the word no one shall speak.

One of my friends from my Utah days had those made, it was just a horse, iirc. There's one of them on the Countdown V's I sold into the PNW a few years ago. Might have more in a box somewhere.

Those goats are infringing.

I have already filed suit against Backcountry.com for stealing my logo.

But hey, if Ohio State can try to trademark the word "The" (I don't know if the trademark only applies to the capitalized version of the word) . . .

One of you artsy, photochoppery talented mags needs to craft a sticker with their stupid Goat taking it in der poopenhousen. Group fund a production run of mass quantities. Ubiquitous hilarious placements with a thread to document results.

Yes.

Mag sticker of the 19/20 ski season? I think this is a candidate for sure.

I will chip in for this. I have exactly zero graphic design ability but could help coordinate/distribute/talk shit far and wide.

Like many here and elsewhere, I posted a bit of a rant (on a different platform) today, and *politely suggested that others consider taking their business elsewhere.

Just got a message from an old college acquaintance who saw my post and happens to know the backcountry.com CEO. Asked me if she could share my rant with CEO. I said #sendit.

Sounds like there should be a TR forthcoming.

Gladly would Venmo money to make that sticker become a reality as the BBI stickers likely won’t be a thing this year.

That's beautiful. Part of me thinks that the goat should be upside down, but decapitated and hog-tied really works nicely.

Sending C&D's to people not in the online retail business so they can claim they defended something they could never actually defend in a real court is seriously weak--like Specialized trying to defend Fuji's Roubaix tm without permission.

I'm not sure the GSA should be sullied with goatfuckery, but I like the idea generally. Shirley there must be a proper use for this bag of goat stickers?

I always found Evo cooler. They sell more of the raw dog PNW brand stuff. I actually haven't looked into Evo's ethics though, tbh.

Now I will remember to never give Backcountry my money though, thanks for this post.

IPLA Trademark Law is duing the suing, Goatfuckers

Stop trying to fight and see if you can help. For instance, their legal team at IPLA Trademark Law doesn't rank well for the term Goatworthy (as it should). Nor does it rank for the term Goatfucker (goat fucker), as it definitely should, since that's what they're doing to the brand.
I'm sure these links are nofollow but who knows what G takes into account.

His shops (and website) do pre-date Backcountry.com. Would love to see him take them on... Regardless, I'm done with backcountry.com...

I went through a wild and crazed stage where I purchased everything online back when backcountry.com and steep and cheap new and shiny.

Not so much anymore. Except for closeouts and some other odd ball stuff, I’ve really returned to purchasing stuff locally, and second hand at that. Their prices aren’t all that great, especially on newer MAP stuff.

What do you expect from MegaCorp? They’re not here to help you. And oh yeah, screw the little guy. Any semblance of coolness with BC went out the door when MegaCorp bought it.

I never got the whole goat sticker thing. It basically says I buy my shit online and screw the local ski shop.

From a quick google search, it looks like backcountry access was founded 2 years before backcountry.com.

Hopefully BCA sues backcountry.com and makes them change their name. (Or are they owned by the same people? That'd kinda ruin that plan.)

Not owned by the same people. They interview Bruce Edgerly in the article.

They don’t care about few cheap hardcore skiers business but they do about general public that uses first link from using google. Every time you see the sticker, yell out backcountry.com sucks and let the gapers know why they will always be a gaper as long as they support that business.

Next person who gets hurt in backcountry should sue them.
