So this kid in my grade your average weekend gayper goes up to the mt. maybe once a month thinks he is amazing, you all know the kind of people im talking about, so anyways he skis on 3 year old volkls, and idk how the hell he did if, but he broke one skiing in the glades, he calls up volkl and volkl pretty much says sorry, its out of warrenty we cant help you, the kid then proceeds to cry to daddy who is a lawyer who then send a letter threatening a law suit. Volkl, i assume not wanting to bother wasting the money on this type of legal action, gives him a pair of next years AC4s which around around 1200 bucks. I just find this to be rediculous, and really a dick move against an allready struggling industry. i guess what really set me off was when he told me that park skiing wasnt skiing and then continued to tell me how i have the wrong equiptment.... but yeah i just find what his family did to be real dick considering they can afford it without batting an eyelash

thats so bad ass, and you know all of you would be so stoked if you were in that situation.

and while the "core" thing to do is claim to be poor, almost 98 percent of you come from middle class families that can easily afford skis and ski vacations or you wouldnt be on this site.

or maybe the rediculous amount of skis companies give out to sponsored riders who then give out to kids in pro deals or freebies at camp are hurting the industry.

If you got a lawyer for a dad use it. Think about it. We are all born with different advantages and disadvantages. Use your advantage.  I still don't like that someone is abusing their legal power though.

Those kinds of people make me want to scream, cuz you can't do shit, or they'll call on daddy.
Also, with us newschoolers kinda separating from the racers/once-a-monthers and so on, the others become more spineless and fucked up (like that guy)

Or maybe atlantaski should shut the fuck up.
Oddly enough, rich people are usually the cheapest, msot selfish bastards around. I think that is complete bullshit...tell him what a fucking toolbox, gaper, bitch-ass fuckbag he is (do this at the top of a run), then rip the whole run switch and beat him to the bottom, once he shows up, tell him that it's too bad his Dad can't write a letter and get him talent.

Maybe you should just mind your own business. i don't think you can classify the ski industry as "struggling", so if volkl felt that it was in their best interest to give this kid new skis, let em do it. It sounds like you're all butt hurt because some kid you don't like got a freebie. Maybe the kid is a rich little deuche bag and you have a legitimate reason not to like him, but stop whining. It's not like him getting free skis hurt you at all.

Don't get salty just cause I asked you to stop talking.
I could do it, maybe if you didn't live in the deep south you'd get more snow time and that wouldn't seem so impossible.
A few pro riders selling used skis at camp isn't a big issue, now people that give proform and shopform to people that don't work in the industry I'll agree with, that is ridiculous.
And I'm not mad cause he got free skis, I think companies should stand behind what they sell, which is why the offer a warranty...the fact is that his skis were out of warranty, and it wasn't a defect, he caused the damage and then when they told he that it was his own fault he responded by threatening them with a lawsuit if they didn't give him free skis. And that is a douchebag move.

WORD. The stupidity is mainly his parents fault for abusing the legal system. There is nothing wrong with getting free skis if they break under warranty, but this kid sounds like a douche for expecting it.

Or maybe you would realize that the majority of sponsored riders in freeskiing don't get enough product to be truly professional abut their competetive careers.

Most of the "pro" guys doing the Honda Ski Tour comps this year were getting by on equipment that by mid-season was pieced together, riveted, mismatched. And a back up set of competition skis? Shit forget about it.

It probably hurts a company when mr pro breaks his ski in the middle of a comp because they didn't put in the effort to make sure that their rider had adequate equipment, and backup gear for emergencies.

When a kid does that it drives me nuts. If you are under 15, I understand not having enough cash for skis. But even then you can get a good amount of cash during the summer as a kid.

I hold great respect for people who buy all their own gear and their own gas, and passes, and everything. I'm a guy who does that and most of you guys who don't have a clue how hard it is to maintain that as a college student. Those people really love it because they bust their ass for a day of ice runs through a half destroyed park.

Hmmm...

So a kid has his father write a letter to a ski company and his skis are replaced?

And ?!?!?!

I write a letter EVERYTIME I send a pair of skis back...and I always get them replaced...When I was younger, and an aspiring bump skier, I would go through 3-4pairs a season - most would be replaced due to my father's letters...

Customer service would much rather read a well written, funny and appreciative letter, then recieve repetitive phone calls and nagging - I know this for a fact

So once again, get off your high horses and just ski

who the fuck cares what the guy next to you is doing?

well of course they COULD be good but when thy claim tricks they are talking about how they "stomped that 180 on the 15 footer"and how it "should be in their movie" and generally kids who ride them are shitty.
