  • Line Recall - kinda.

    I'm sure you'd have seen the recall (its apparently quite old) but this thread just popped up on newschoolers about 4frnt rehashing old news to try and make line look bad.

    http://www.newschoolers.com/web/foru...ead_id/378097/

    This little gem was in a response email from 4frnt

    Embarassing? Fuck 4frnt.

    Dude, I hate newschoolers. All they do is hate on us as a new sport and as a community.

    I find it embarrasing that anyone on earth is that ignorant, that just pisses me off.

      I like a bit of hate, from skiiers and snowboarders its all good. Amuses the hell out of me.

      But for a ski company to suggest that skiboarding is embarassing to the sport is not on. Their original article on Line skiboards was kinda funny; that comment from their rep certainly wasnt.

      I, as with a lot of skiboarders, also ski (badly). I'm a potential customer... but when a set of skis next reaches the top of shopping my list, they damn sure won't be 4frnt's.

        I just love bs like this... I think its hillarious how most skiers feel superior to skiboarders and feel like they must talk crap... this is embarrasing for a company to be doing it.. I love how they say that its an insult that we call ourselves skiers.. well considering that ive been skiing since I was three and have had more fun skiboarding in the last 2 years then I have my entire life on skis... I would much rather call myself a skiboarder than a skier anyway. originallity is key.. o and I appreciate this article.. cause it narrows down my choice for twins the next time i buy some.. not that I would ever buy 4frnts anyways

          hahaha, yus, its great sometimes. it kinda depends on the person. Ive had skiers 'admire" my boards and ask where I got em, then Ive had others just swear at me for no reason. I call myself a skier, idk, we pretty much are on skis, just shorter and fatter....

            i dont understand newschoolers...
            it seems like every thread i see theyre cursing each other out and arguing about nothing.
            Ill tell you i havent been on this forum at SBOL long, but ive NEVER seen anything like that...

              You know, if I wanted to I have every confidence I could find at bare minimum a blog, a chat room and possibly a site devoted to hating on 42 year old white guys with 3 children who are married to Japanese women. That would be me by the way. Now, I could find that blog/group/site/whatever, read a bunch of stuff and then start pointing out how lame they all are over there. But, the bottom line is I signed up for it by going out there and reading all the crap.

              NS is a known quantity. I went there a few times as I was told there was some good stuff to be found. I believe there actually is. I'm just unwilling to wade through the sludge to get to it. If you go there, you're signing up for the abuse. Enjoy your righteous indignation. After, I suggest going about getting a real life.

              Almost forgot - and you're gay. (Couldn't resist. I must have read that 2,439 times at NS.)

                Hahah. I thought it was only the UK skiiers and boarders who called skiboarders gay. Newschoolers and other comments from the US just seem to take the view that its too easy and has no style.

                As I said though, I've no problem with skiiers or boarders talking trash - thats a natural part of sport in a way. The thing I couldn't believe was the attitude taken by 4frnt.

                But yeah, if you go onto NS, don't expect anything nice to be said about skiboarding. SBOL is definetly a much more chill vibe; and a nicer place to be.. but its a hell of a lot smaller and less active which tends to lend itself more to decent discussion.

                Edit: fuck 4frnt!
