FOCUSED: Name Rip-off

OK, Salomon put out a vid about 4 years ago called Focused, now MSP is putting one with the exact same name.... I just realized this when i saw the VHS in my room stacked with other old vids and my friend was talkin bout the MSP vid. Also, c'mon they rip off the idea further from Theory 3.

I really don't care, but it's just I'm so bored I have nothing better to do than talk about shit.

although the salomon thing might be true, I doubt MSP looks to theory-3 to steal a name

Theory-3 had theres first, it doesnt matter if MSP looked to them, they still made a similar name after Theory-3 had chose theres..... doesnt matter much tho

I doubt that MSP even knew that we had all ready Picked the name FOCUS when they came up with there name, WTF would such a big budget film comapny give a sh!t about a small 'core' video comapny like ours that only films sick riders and concentrates on the up and comming athletes, and not on wheter or not they are the big name athletes.

well focused sucked. and maybe the similar names will cause people to mistaken the T3 movie for the MSP movie leading to more sales for T3. The opposite probably wont happen because most of the people buying Focus will be the core group of skiers.

they should have stuck with the ski movies. Ski movie 4. The name says it all.

okay, i just gotta say...please stop making the FARP video things. Its cool if you wanna make them and all, but dont make a website about it etc. Or at least get better first. You are hurting the industry. When snowboarders see skiers like Fred and Randall doing stupid flailing 360 attempts 8 inches off the ground, they laugh there heads off, and skiing takes another blow. So please, if you wanna make your movies, thats cool. But just stop trying to get noticed. Thats all. Peace. P.S. Your spinning the wrong way.-sunvalleyskibum

Levin....I love your cynic ways. I even hope to be victim to it once someday...Once(any more and we may have to fight). Just when I think a thread might be done for....BAM....return of the jedi and shit.
But seriously...we had the name and I'm sure they had the name. If not..I'm not too worried about it. Look at how many people on this site know the difference. Maybe we both get a little spillover on sales and maybe we don't. It doesn't really matter. I'm just stoked that people like our vid.

FOCUS your mind.
