Snowboard Magazine's reviews Ed Hardy outwear

[shopkid]

Now, as a shop kid it is practically required for me to know more than all those stinky park rats and over read 'chain-wallet-vans-wearing-still-cool' dads. (I'd like to point out I have nothing against you if you fall in these categories, just trying to get my point across.) So when I received my copy of snowboard magazine's buyers guide, I decided to pick out this lovely saturday morning to read what the suits are going to tell you is awesome.

Now, I held my tongue when last year's issue came out with Nike Boots plastered everywhere. They gave them a great review, and several of the editors had the boots on their personal pick pages. You might think this is no big deal, but if you've ever tried the boots on you'd realize where i'm coming from. Now working in a shop, you'll see several sides to the industry. One of the saddest things to watch as people around embrace a certain company because of all the free schawg they recieve.
I couldn't help but think something along the same lines was going on when they recieve the review and were said to be "top picks". Because there were a lot of other amazing boot companies that could have been held as top picks.

But before you label this "too long, don't read" give me one more second.
In the latest buyers guide Ed Hardy outerwear is said to really know what they're doing. That, "because, as we all know, the snowboard industry lives for the party."
I don't know about you, but this sentence really gets to me.
Maybe this is why they say, "put the fun back in snowboarding".
Maybe everyone on the upper level is partying too much.
Maybe not.
But working in a shop, I can say I don't live for the party. And I would hate to buy from any company that will party and miss the first chair, that pushes the party over powder days. Don't get me wrong I do love to party, but it'll never top snowboarding.
Where's our industry that lives for the snowboarding...?

All you need to know about Ed Hardy is this. When I asked them at SIA what the difference between them and all the other OEM companies coming out of Elan they said and I quote, "We're Ed Hardy....... Bro!"

You know how to tell from a distance if someone is a douche bag? T-shirt says any of the following: Ed hardy, Affliction or Von Dutch. Harley Davidson shirts are pretty high on the douche bag meter as well.

I don't think any serious snowboarder would ever wear something from Ed Hardy.

Can't wait to see the weekend warrior douches from NYC wearing these though.

yeah but there are kids that want to read it and they are the ones who are probably paying the most money for the magazine. I have friends that run magazines and they are dying right now just trying to stay even.

im not disagreeing just saying sometimes they have to put in that bullshit to make some money.

oh and ed hardy is going be great. im going to laugh so hard everytime i see someone wearing that.

I remember when Ed Hardy was all haute couture and Nordy's was selling their shirts for $80 a pop and so on. Now, Ed Hardy is seen as a ghetto brand and Costco, yes Costco is selling Ed Hardy sunshades for your car and the occasional $20 shirt.

It's gonna be hella funny when I see someone in Ed Hardy on the hill. I think the world would be much better off if Christian Audigier was airdropped to a Taliban or Al-Qaeda rally. Shoot, the man ruins cars too - he has a Escalade that looks even worse than an Ugg on wheels(Prius) or a Pontiac Azztek...

Christian Audigier

Blahahaha... wikipedia'd that guy... he also was a designer for Affliction and Von Dutch garbage. I think the bottom line is if you see the name Christian Audigier on anything... it's a douche bag product.

Everyone said what i was going to say. Yay.
You Know what we should do? we should make a special thread called "Christian Audiger Douche Bags" in it, we'll put pictures of Ed Hardy sightings on the slopes. Bonus points if they're faceplanting.

Sound cool?
