Some 'oh snap' moments when reading it. I want to root for Danny as a Michigan guy but I thought he was kinda douchebaggy with his comments and now he's getting called on it.
Not much comment on the Shaun fellating that the author is doing. I agree that he's helped the popularity but I think he gives White a bit too much credit.
Some good points made in the article, but good points can be made while Danny was still right in what he said. Maybe not right to have said them, but accurate in what he said.
if you start with the 'giving back to snowboarding' shit you are sure to step on your dick, right or not danny can't talk..i really like him though but he needs to look in the mirror
I like Danny but if he thinks he's contributing to snowboardings growth that's kind of a joke. If he wants to be able to live off snowboarding somebody has to make it mainstream, otherwise no companies are gonna put sponsorship money in to it and expose it to the world. Kids have to get inspired to ride somehow and locking yourself in a cabin in the woods all winter and riding for yourself isn't gonna do that. We all wish it would but there needs to be exposure for there to be money in the sport and for new riders to emerge. Shaun is really one of the only people pushing that. Hating him for being the only person actually bringing snowboarding to the world is stupid. Seriously If white didn't exist how many households would even be able to know a snowboarder. There's your proof that snowboarding needs Shaun White.
I love how the author basically called out Danny Davis for being a douche. He's just as big a poser with his long hair that he combs in every interview and his cliche Hendrix references and Martin guitar deal. Please dude you are not a member of Skynrd. You're another little kid dreaming of being a rock star and dressing up in your little costumes. Yours happens to be Woodstock and Shaun's Lollapalooza. Shut your mouth and ride you are a professional athlete and Im not interested in you for anything other than your snowboarding.
The minturn mile was thigh deep on the upper part today. Funking great whiteroom time. Margaritas at the saloon Were awesome too....
