barryj Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 More stupid than funny, but to each his own. Hopefully he was just hamming it up for a crowd reaction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpyride Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Spot on critique. Funny as well. Only thing I disagree with is my HardSkiBoots are about the most comfortable thing I've ever been in, on a slope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 I don’t think Avran really feels that strongly about it. His whole schtick is “angry snowboarder”. Now get him going on the Ride Guide. He really hates those guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishsurfer Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Yeah I've always got the impression his hardboot rants are more just for show and humor like how I slag off my friend who ski's and he slags for being on a board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utahcarver Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Question: What is the difference between a real snake and a 'ski school snake'? Answer: On a real snake, the a-hole is at the tail. Question: What is the difference between a snowboard and an upright vacuum cleaner? Answer: How you attach the dirt bag.

I thought el_snowboardo disappeared into his angry snowboarder blog once snowboard.com disappeared, but to my delight I found him active again on his youtube channel recently. To be honest, I love the guy & respect his work. He worked hard to build up that persona, good on him. I remember he gave me advice on a Salomon Burner about 20 years ago or something and it was an amazing board.

pow4ever Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 remind me of this: https://imgur.com/gallery/8Pl2MQd I know it's suppose to funny and dissecting joke/frog something something both die in the process. longer nuance - run what you bring and have fun. maybe i am a masochist that i enjoyed the pain/high cost just to be different. it's a price tag i am willing to pay. If the purpose is to go from top of the hill to bottom; a snow mobile is much superior than snowboard/ski but that's not the point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePeonsChamp Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) Looks like Shaun of Donek tried to reach out to ole Angry and invite him to the factory LOL which goes about how well you'd expect. I'd love to see Angry actually fall in love with hardbooting and realize it was he who was the purist kook the whole time XD. I do agree with him though that we should be able to laugh about our own kookyness. He goes on a solid 5 min rant about it too Edited September 13, 2021 by ThePeonsChamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pow4ever Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 “NEVER ARGUE WITH STUPID PEOPLE. THEY WILL DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL AND BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE.” same apply to engaged with inter-web trolls. i was ok with it until one of us is being attacked. Sean genuinely want to change mind but meet with mockery. seems to be the norm now a day. It's a sad state.

pow4ever Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 hahah.... yes. was thinking the same i hope it's a character that he played(to get a reaction/trolling). for my personal preference the schtick get old quick. the character/performance to me is not angry but bitter and narrow minded (my humble 2 cents; nothing against the person as everyone need to eat.) I like to think i am relative open minded but this one just rub me the wrong way. seems anti-snowboard culture if anything. snowboarding suppose to be fun and not anger/bitter. i used ad-blocker so no one is getting click/ad revenue i support/vote with my wallet. I do need to figure out why i get some reaction out of it/trigger by it there are enough contents on the internet; that i won't missed this one; just as he won't missed one viewer. Choose to not engaged is a great way to remain sane. time to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 The carving board one is 3 years old, and I totally get his direction on that. His audience is soft-booters looking for commonly available boards, not carving fanatics willing to pay double the normal retail price for specialized gear. He's not going to cover hard boot equipment, and he's not going to cover something you have to special order from Japan, and he's definitely not going to cover anything he doesn't get given to test for free. The guy makes these videos in his spare time from working at a snowboard shop and a liquor store. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nextcarve Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 He talks(rants) about hardbooting. Lot of shit, but better then not talking about it at all. Perhaps some of his viewers did know noting about hardboot snowboarding before and get interested in it. Who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordmetroland Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. Those who can’t teach, critique (or teach gym, if you’re Woody Allen) I’d consider it a point of pride to be insulted by a bumblef*** like that guy (though I confess the original Top 5 that started the whole thread was pretty funny)… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
