If the dude rides for your team then he is representing your team. He should be held to a higher level of professionalism if you are allowing him the pleasure of representing for your company in competition. Its the same as any other sport out there. If you respect your company and its reputation then you should have zero tolerance for disrespectful riders representing your product by riding for your team. even if you guys do have a bromance. Put him in check or tell him to ride for someone else. Period.
what are they supposed to do? force him to give back his hull that he paid for?
Yeah what hes doing isnt great but he is in no way involving the ski clinic, its a personal beef him and steve have and he talks about his product because of that (is that the right thing to do? probably not) but regardless he isnt going and saying trendsetterz blows buy a bob instead, the only reason ski clinic is being dragged into this is because the trendsetterz fans are retaliating for him bashing their hull, it makes you guys no better, this thread should be closed already. Their last posts on here bashing eachother before these recent ones was before world finals, now it all started up again because facebook posts were brought onto the x.
Bottom line he rides a hurricane but that doesn't mean , he paid for the ski himself and the ski clinic has stated multiple times that their views are not in the same interest as his, thats all they can do as a business, they cant pick and choose who the sell to based on how good of a person they are.
