Oh dang. TGR hate.

[spook]

i used to go all day long for months saying "all i need i have within me" over and over

[JoeStrummer]

I fear we are using "hate" so frequently around here it is in danger of losing its emotional currency.

Josef Goebbels hated Jews. Levon Helm hated Robbie Robertson.

What goes on around here is just finding other people mildly to extremely tiresome.

[iceman]

There's other websites?

There's other websites?

Thanks for that.

John C wins this thread

[coldfeet]

The rest of you should stop trying to be idiots, because the "CO2 is an excuse to keep you from figuring out the chemtrails" thing was dumber than anything you people will ever be able to come up with. Dude may be an awesome dude, but that may have been a little outside the areas of his expertise.

[irratator]

Shit, I didnt know Levon hated Robbie.........Fuck.... Got sidetracked: Never stop Hating!

[skifishbum]

FWIW, I have worked with Max from 8am to 1:00 pm. At which point, he ran up the Grand, helped some people off the belly roll, summited, rand down...before dark. That night, he went to the Moose, got shithoused, met a chick, took her home.
And...




He showed up at work the next morning at 8:00. Where he said 'dude, I'm a little beat...can I drive?"


No point to the story.

cool story bro
i had no idea you and goosey were so tight
did you swallow or just use your hand ethan?

[rideit]

It is a cool story.
I don't know his actual time, but it must have been under 7-8 hours car to car.
But we know that you have done it in 4, while packing a bubbler, mon
Good job bringing the irie-hate!

[DasBlunt]

[brutah]

I fucking ski better then every single one of you so fuck off. This is a free merica' and I am fucking free to hate until my god damn ear lobes freeze in my own personalized hate hell. I look in the mirror and feel nothing but hate, I was born hating air, when I ski pow I look left and right for somebody to hate. I even hate it when flowers bloom in spring, I hate the olympics, I hate it when america wins at the Olympics, I hate it when I get to my line and some dude with a camera is in the way, I hate Utah, but most of all I hate hypocritical, entitled, trustafarian, narsistic, corporate fucks who sell shit out all the while claiming moral highgorund. ok?

sippin on some haterade

[reckless toboggan]

Also, it isn't all downside. Somewhere in Burundi a kid is running around in my old North Face Karakorum jacket. I got rid of it when I realized it wasn't Karakorum-y enough for my lifestyle!

Trickle-down Fashionomics.

[jono]

I have two questions: for Strummer, did you do your friends at TNF a Patagonia-style solid and cut the tags out of that bitch first so some bottom feeder in Burundi isn't walking around feeling like he's joined the first world? I know I'm not telling you anything new too say you gotta keep em hungry somehow, I'm just curious if you figure coveting the more Karakomum-y lifestyle is enough.

And for John C is, when will you pick up a copy of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and get an entry level primer on tax dodging for the upper-middle-wannabe-could-be-maybe class? Thread could have gone right to credible with just that much background, no wacky guilt or conspiracy theories required. Not that I'm complaining, this thing has it all!

[TGR420]

Wow. This is an all time classic. I wanted to clarify a few things because there is a ton of garbage that is filled with lies, bad information and more.
First, must point out that Dunfee's article was Satire. It was a joke. The white rasta kid was throwing daggers at hearts. There is a big difference.

Interns:
Lots of talk about our staff being composed of unpaid interns and us taking advantage of people. Fact is we have 25 full time, year round employees all receiving competitive salaries and benefits in Jackson Hole.We typically employ another 5-20 industry rate paid contractors on any given day. We have an amazing internship program that has created tons of great opportunities for people. Half of our staff rose through the ranks this way and the other interns have gone on to become film makers, LA Producers, CEO's, and more. We put a ton into it and our paid staff spends a lot of time enhancing their skills. So that is false rumor and lie number one from the Trustafarian Kid.

Manipulation of Media:
This is the funniest and most ironic one of all. Yes we make films and our films have a story or theme that we choose and develop while we make them. that is what film makers do. However, look at our website in and out of the forums. We let anyone come in here and tell their story, we support that, we don't censor that(other than nuking the occasional douchebag. Telling your story and being a complete asshole are different things for us.)
We showcase and feature all the good stories made by our competitors and fellow filmmakers. All this talk of neglecting history is garbage. Powder and Rails is featured here regularly and showcases the pioneers of snowboarding. We have worked on stories with Tom Burt on the site. We feature almost every snowboard filmmakers work in the industry on our homepage over the years.
Anyone who questions us in this space is full of shit. We love Steve Koch's accomplishments and we have been happy to see him go out and speak about them on national TV, do motivational and other speeches talking about those. That is great and it is his right. I am happy he used his celebrity to help sell real estate. The guy deserves to make a living off of his achievements. Jeremy does not deny his epicness and trying to make this about him versus Jeremy is bullshit and a lie.

Athletes:
TGR athletes are very well taken care of. There is some garbage about taking advantage of them, making them risk there life, not giving anything...Simply not true. We work super close with them throughout their career to help them with all phases, including helping them with their contracts.

Environmental stuff:
Seriously, get a grip. There are a million angles and things that can help the environment. Just cause the trusty rasta kid is focused on the chem trails doesn't make POW bad. POW creates a general awareness, lobbies for legislation adjustments, works with schools, speaks to kids, helps clean up ski resorts, works on clean product development with companies. They work hard trying to make a difference. From what all I can tell, the white rasta kid goes out and tours in his exclusive Teton Park Area,shoots a couple videos of airplanes taking off(Oh yeah and product videos which is so ironic and classic.) and then makes up a bunch of lies and poorly researched accusations against a bunch of people who actually try and do things in a positive direction. If he is your hero you are a tool.
Oh yah and just to Jonnie C who is going by by from my sandbox just after I post this. Seriously, speaking your mind and being a douche are different things. Your energy sucks and your time is done :
In reference to your "Build a Bike Path and go Ride it." Funny thing is we gave a ton of money to Friends of Pathways over the first 5 years of the bike path project and we ride the path all the time.
We have contributed a half million dollars into non profits from our Jackson Hole World Premier while not pulling out a dime for TGR in eighteen years. Calling us out on corporate greed is a bunch of bullshit. These donations have gone to the Bridger Teton Avalanche Center, Friends of Pathways, early recycling in Jackson efforts, hurt local athletes, and more.

Seriously I could go on and on, but the point is to not listen to that crappy reporting.
As Bob Marley famously said: Only Hypocrites start fighting. This dude is a sham. He is a rich white kid who went to a rich white kid school, then grew dreadlocks, moved to Jackson Hole, compares himself to slaughtered Indians, films gear reviews for his own advancement while calling others out on the same, shits on people who work hard while he tours in his little elitist paradise filming airplanes, doesn't research shit and throws out serious accusations on his paranoid assumptions( I am not talking about chemtrails, but the assumptions he makes about TGR). Oh yeah and he puts a Martin Luther King photo in his FB profile as if it is him. How presumptuous is that. He is the biggest lie and hypocrite this place has to offer. Now that he is a core Jackson Hole Local seven years in, he gets a badge to be a toolshed douchebag. Not really my style, but I guess that is what they teach you at St John's University.


Also, moving this to the padded room soon.

[icelanticskier]

ah the butthurt. humans being human. get over it you fucking whiners.

[uglymoney]

Just sap sucking haters. If these guys are making noise about TGR and POW you guys are doing something right. They come here on a free forum you provide and do nothing but sap energy from people who actually give a shit about what they do and try to do it the right way.

I ordered a couple movies from TGR again this year to support the corporation that provides me a free forum all year to hang out in and around because being on the take all the time really sucks and frankly the movies are sick, especially the deeper series. JJ sticks his neck out for causes that are important to our family and a lot of the silent majority of skiers who are watching the weather with weary eyes and people fling shit and start talking about 'chemtrails'. Crazy people with voices that are amplified beyond their worth on the net.

Wholeheartedly agree with this. They "gave me my shot." If it wasn't for the TGR intern program I wouldn't be where I am today. They took me, and as an intern saw enough in me to allow me to create the Anomaly graphics. After that they hired me until I left. I made my mistakes in Jackson and burned some bridges and have learned from my mistakes. But I can honestly say I would be no where near where I am without the whole crew of TGR. I made some friends for life out of my time there and probably some enemies. But honestly, I can't comment on anything else but the intern program and I think it was mutually beneficial to both parties. I personally haven't heard anyone that was at any time an intern that it was a negative experience. Most interns in the video world don't get paid shit. I got swag, a season pass, proform deals, hookups at local establishments, partied like a rockstar with athletes. That's a hell of a lot more than I received on my first internship. I can't speak to what their program is like now, but if it is anything like it was, or better, I would tell anyone interested in the career and action sports to try and get involved.

peace.

[spook]

so the ceiling for tgr-based experience is almost six figures.

Talking about rich white kids, your Jackson Hole hotlinks link to a pair of lacrosse shorts. If that was intended, awesome, if not, all the better. I expect they made you a couple pennies at least.

It is a mistake . Remember I didn't start the conversation. Rasta Mtn man did. I just set the record straight.

[AdironRider]

I got no qualms with what you guys do, just thought it was the perfect link during a rant of rich white boys moving to Jackson. Especially given his preppy background.
