Union Hijack - Snowboarding Forum

Nivek · 11-07-2012, 11:26 PM

The Sales manager of Union is offering free bindings to anyone that hijacks the most threads here on SBF.

Calling mods to ban anyone that starts this and the people of SBF to ignore the fanboys and eliminate the Hijacks.

From Nose in the C3 Thread:

"Contest time. Got a pair of coveted TEAM bindings, you pick the size, for the dude that best hijacks any and all threads in the Snowboarding Forum. Yep, I said it. Not looking for anyone to be pro C3, COAL, Union or CAPiTA, just looking for educated people to get in there and drop some knowledge.

Contest runs til Monday November 12th, you PM me a list of your threads in on the 13th, winner announced on the 14th. I don't give a shit if your pro Burton, Union, CAPiTA, DWD, Airblaster, whatever, just as long as there is a bombardment of knowledge thrown in that forum, enough to rattle the cages of the establishment and get people thinking outside of the God damn box that they live in."

Explains a lot of what's been posted today. Thanks for the fyi. On a personal note fuck Union and C3. Sad to see they're no better than that damn Portland wax co.

Try their wax before you talk shit. They are actually really awesome people that support the local snowboard scene to a great extent.

Union makes mediocre bindings. They're not terrible but other companies have advanced beyond what union currently puts out, big name riders or not.

Fuck capita and c3? how about fuck nobody? who cares what brands people are stoked on or who they think has the best product. c3 makes great stuff, so do a lot of other brands.

closed minded-ness is the absolute worst thing in snowboarding. getting people to look at other types of products and personalities in the industry isn't going to kill anyone.

Fuck Union... That is the dumbest idea for a contest and petty if you ask me.

Hitting a forum with a barrage of fake "stoke" on one particular brand isn't going to encourage open-mindedness...

This "contest" is designed to flood the forum and make people start thinking about their brands. Thanks but no thanks.

Seems that the intention is to get people thinking outside of the box that may be their local, regional, or internet-based loyalties, and not merely a plug for a single brand.

union bindings are a joke.

^K_B^ Why do you keep trying (unsuccessfully) to link an image of Neil Patrick Harris?

This thread is weird... Bombardment with knowledge?!? Think outside the box? Best way to do that is for a company to introduce NEW technology. I don't think we're a closed minded forum here, there are a lot of differing opinions.
