Heart_and_SoulLook again. Since when do any of the logos in the photo look like modern Look:
Their logo is not a fixed thing ... who's doing that right now?
Their bikes look nuts.. I should talk to them about doing the Meathammer.
You are possibly the most conceited person I have ever seen. If you can honestly sit there and not admit that the logo isn't precisely the same as it was you are clearly arrogant too. Look at the typography you fuckhead.
Additionally, in case you couldn't already tell, I have no respect for you and cannot take you seriously. You sit there acting like because you made a shitty pair of skis (more like ski blades) and continue to use them as if they are somehow an excuse for your terrible technique/form and then went as far as writing down nonsense numbers on a sheet of paper and claiming that they are somehow the new big thing in skiing without ever skiing them... Honestly, wake up. How do you not see that nobody likes you on here. Nobody is willing to take you or your Meathammers seriously because Meathammers don't and probably never will exist off of the sheet of paper on your desk. Wake up and see the light of day, you are just another entrepreneur with an outrageous idea but nothing to back you up. Don't act like you are somehow comparable to Shane McConkey or Candide Thovex, you are nothing.
Before you reply with yet another arrogant remark as how you "take this as a complement" or I somehow am unwilling or unable to see your genius design, just think about it. Think about what you look like on this site. If you honestly can't see what a joke you are, just go back to sucking off Sean White.
That modern logo looks nothing like that seen on the old skis - typeface yes, but the colours wrapped around it are different. That's what catches the eye and leaves an impression.
Pretty certain White's been inspired by my stuff.
Anyhow, your YT vids man, pretty lame, it's not that you're patently bad, uncoordinated, or a gaper, but it's that your nowhere near good enough to get serious respect from anyone except maybe some first-timers and close family. You seem to crash a lot. Talk about poor form and arrogance.
I need help with my skis... they need to be built so they don't warp.
Anyway, with your knee injury, you never know what skis you'll be gravitating toward in a few years.

Seven things to point out about how wrong you are.
1.The graphic surrounding the logo is not the logo.
2. No, he has never heard of you.
3. I am the filmer and am only present in one of those skiing videos, in it I have two tricks (Nothing hard... Just chill park laps)
4. As a racer, I am inclined to say that you have no idea what you are talking about. Never in any of those videos do I fall. Falling isn't bad anyways, often times it's the only way to progress. Also as a racer I assure you, my form when not skiing park is very refined and far surpasses your's.
5. By saying that I am not respected for my skiing is not true. As a racer, there is a mutual respect between competitors, my coaches respect my skiing as I was among the top performing slalom racers on my varsity team and always had respectable finishes even on bad days, also I unlike you have actual close friends who all respect each others skiing.
Regardless of all that, skiing is about fun, not respect. I was simply saying that I cannot respect you as an entrepreneur/businessman as you have an outrageous product that you claim is somehow revolutionary, but no way to back it up. If you truly believe in your product, take it into your own hands, don't expect a manufacturer to pick it up if you have no prototypes to back it up. Anyone can randomly write down numbers and sketch a shape like you have.
6. Back to the respect thing. I have two simple words for you, you suck at skiing and no one respects you on this site for your skiing. Your Collab edit was the saddest thing I've seen. People have told you that, but you continue to say that you're the "new wave". In reality, nothing separates you from the average 30 year old guy who skis 5 times a year yet thinks they're the shit.
7. My injury will not change my preference in skis as I don't plan on letting it effect the way I ski.
I correct myself, and you are indeed right, the Look logo hasn't changed but the implementation has and will change and seems fluid ...that is very cool. I like the old implementations like in the above photo.
current:
Anyway, people who are recovering from knee injuries are often told to bike ride to recover because of the low-impact of the movement. But will they go back to skiing in their old style (from where that injury originally came from.) Or will they look beyond themselves and reimplement their style (just like with the Look logo?) I saw you in that Boyne video with Orange and Grey jacket, right? I have no comment.
God you are one dumb son of a bitch heart_and_soul. Seriously stop trying to break into the freeski community through newschoolers. Trust me it won't work. You can't say someone has bad skiing form while trying to market a ski which you need to have bad form to use. You say your skis are better because your heart rate doesn't go up as much but market your brand by that to a website of skiers who ski for fun and excitement not rest and relaxation. Most if not all of the members want that feeling of adrenaline and your heart racing. That is one of the whole points of freestyle skiing. Try this sales pitch at the retirement home next time.

Heart_and_SoulMaking hiphop mashups for the past 2 years (and not skiing for 2.5 years,) and inventing a new type of drumkit that I use to play along with bboys (breakdancers).. well I want to bring that feeling, coordination and vibe into my skiing. No super-retarded technique prone to hurt knees and burning, painful thighs will help me translate my vibe onto 2 skis going down a mountain if there isn't a radical change in ski design. Anyone that plays music, especially live will know that being a little nervous might be okay, but flat out having adrenaline rushes, is tiring and not prone to feeling good and creative. I don't care about people watching or not watching me, admiring me or glaring at me. I don't need or even want people's respect, and I don't care about skiing with friends or anyone, skiing is a solitary experience, and I can meet people and make friends when I'm not skiing... if I want to. Racers are confined to the skis dimensions handed to them by FIS or whatever body is determining ski dimensions.
Park skiing has spoiled people because they get smooth runs, generally clear of people (when they need or wait for it).. with guaranteed airtime which is very enjoyable and feels good (if the landing isn't ruined.) I think piste skiing hasn't caught up, but I think I have some ideas to change that with the new skis I have in mind.
The New Wave (if there is to be one) is about the type of person you become at the mountain, which you take back home with you. And you don't need to be wearing spandex to get it, or trash your body, or prove to someone about your skiing ability or how much "fun you had that day" that has since left you.
How can you put a logo on your own soul? The best logo is the twinkle in your eye.
SurfboardI couldn't have said it better myself, +k.
