There are no real " journalists " in this sport. Every one of them is dependent on the sponsors and advertisers who are from inside our little sport. You think they are going to start ratting on the people that pay the bills? This sport is just as dirty ... more »
First of all I'm not your buddy, guy. Second of all, DC having influence over his people's messaging isn't some grand conspiracy. If you owned two businesses you wouldn't let one of those businesses jeopardize the other. I'm not saying DC is covering ... more »
Someone that owns a series and the sports' media outlet controlling the messaging coming from people on his payroll isn't a conspiracy its savvy business.

We weren't paying those numbers when I worked for a fairly big goggle company in 09-10.
Nike bailed hard on the 6.0/Action sports scene. They are still active in skating but they pulled out of surfing super quick and super hard. I was working at Hurley when they scaled back on the Nike action sports line and the writing was on the walls. ... more »
