Freeze cancelled purely out of spite

letter to transworld snowboarding mag:

"you know what i have to say: you guys are jerks for getting rid of FREEZE skiing magazine. i hope snowboarding burns in hell."

reply to said letter, from some assclown who calls himself Dresser:

"Very proud of you. A snowsport burning in flames, what irony. That's pretty heavy man, did you intend to get so deep, li'l dum dum? Anyway, you know that I'm senior editor now, right kid? Well my first order of business was to shitcan that skier rag you loved so much (haha). Vaya con dios!"

so this kind of ticks me off. no professional reply like "Freeze wasn't making enough money" or anything like that. god forbid the senior editor of a large magazine could actually come up with a response that contains some sort of dignity. From what he just said, he sounds like someone who's been butthurt over the progression of skiing for quite a while, and finally got enough power to dump all that sand in his vagina in one fell swoop, solely to piss skiers off. good to know he's concentrating so hard on bringing another sport down instead of fucking off and trying to make his own sport better. assclown.

this was in the newest transworld mag btw, but you have to read the first 80 or so pages of ads before you actually get to this section. i guess cingular and samsung are core snowboarding companies now haha.

ya thats now it always goes man...oh well whats done is done and they are most def. not going to bring back freeze now so we should all just remeber what it was and still support other ski magazine like freesier, and ski time so that they dont go under like freeze did.

Well he would have given you a dignified response if your letter to him showed a little bit of Maturity. In your letter you pretty much gave him shit for a good, but dissapointing (to skiers) business decision. Freeze was rad, yes, and you probably wrote the letter right after Freeze was cancelled so you definatly do have a legitimant reason to be so upset, but, if a dignified response was what you wanted for a reply, then yours should have showed more understanding, and less "I am a weenie" writing.

Don't get me wrong, what that guy wrote was wrong, but to be fair what kind of response were you expecting from "you guys are jerks for getting rid of FREEZE skiing magazine. i hope snowboarding burns in hell."? It's hardly the most mature of letters now is it?

i didn't write the letter to transworld.

but if i did write them on the subject, i'm sure my letter wouldn't have made it into the magazine....they probably picked the weakest letter they got and replied to that one just to make skiing look that much worse

If you read other letters too, you see that guy has a boatload of sarcasim, and smugness to him. Basically he wants to come off as a dick to dumb letters. Like that letter, it was dumb. It could have been a lot more serious with out the burning in hell piece.

I'm sure that one guy himself did not "shitcan" that "ski rag" by his lonesome. I'm sure of that.

maybe just maybe if you wrote the letter with a tad bit of respect and maturity you would have had a very different response...

the writer of that letter is a DOUCHE for even thinking his attitude represents skiers...it is insulting and lathetic to think that a letter like that is what represent the skiing commmunity...

i hope whomever write that letter has nothing but ice and rain all winter!!!

The senior edditor's reply sounds legit. When I spoke to TJ (The Jerk) he told me that the closing of Freeze was surrounded by politics established by the senior editor at TW as he never gave any attention to the ski market and was too ignorant riding in Big Bear and thinking that what's going on there is the same as the industry scale. It's a shame that Big Bear doesn't do any justice to the new school movement that's flooding every other resort in north america, europe and the rest of the world!

Sorry Strode for thinking it was you, but there was no disclaimer saying it was or wasn't you. I apologizez for my agressive response to your thread, it is directed at the rediculous smelly head who wrote the letter.
