Dear Unofficial Networks...

**regct** · 06-15-2014, 06:28 PM

...and anyone else running a sports media site. I'm posting the same thing here as I did on your shit book page because you will probably delete it.

Yes, the video you posted twice this week is awesome. But seriously, stop fucking telling us who we wish we could ski like and how much better so and so is at skiing or biking or getting radder than us or how not awesome our weeks or weekends were compared to whoever. Come up with some original headlines. Your site is shit. GoPro isn't ruining the life. Shitty websites are.

Sorry you are stuck behind a computer screen all day trying to bring other people down to your shit level of existence.

PM Hugh Conway for any "Mountain town living is so much better(er) than your life" complaints.

**Hott Butt Mud** · 06-15-2014, 06:47 PM

Watch: This thread turn to shit

**My Pet Powder Goat** · 06-15-2014, 06:49 PM

....and that's different than any other thread on TGR, how?!

**Hott Butt Mud** · 06-15-2014, 06:52 PM

Watch: My Pet Powder Goat not get the joke

**regct** · 06-15-2014, 07:05 PM

It's all gone to shit. Pro skiers trying to be pro mountain bikers, fucking cotton, every dick head youth trying to be pro something because they are too lazy to learn anything. Motocross tracks are flat and have one line around them. Fucking 4 strokes. Mountain bikes cost 10 grand now. Shit is out of whack. Humans have lost it.

I'm going to catch a fish and not go pro it's underwater release.

Unofficial has been on the downfall for some time now. Glad you're caught up.

We call it the face down generation. Text,go-pro,post,edit,send,share,add,follow,friend,like,#. Most good stories don't fit into phones. Unofficial is officially lazy. Reposting shit. TGR is little more than rubber necking a endless slow motion train wreck. Bathroom book or airport boredom, at best.

**digitaldeath** · 06-17-2014, 05:41 PM

old fucks are to blame. they need more money and only think short term, as they are about to die.

At least TGR is producing content. Its not half bad content either. Totally agree about Unofficial though. Also, reposting isn't so bad if you actually add to it - hell, thats mostly what the Daily Show is, but they add seriously funny commentary onto it.

Hey Guys,

I know I'm sticking my neck out here, and just may likely get bashed, but:

have a look at SnowBrains dot com and let me know what you think. We're trying to keep it as original as we can.

We'll be in South America reporting for the summer and we should be able to get some fun stuff up.

We'll certainly try our best, I can guarantee that much.

As you can't be bothered to hyperlink your site, I an't be bothered to check it out.

He is just the gopher - someone else takes care of the techy stuff

Would be curious to hear some stuff you think we should cover/write about/etc. here at TGR HQ. Always feel like a dumb slut hammering on the aggregated Youtube content, but they sure turn pages and sometimes people enjoy the minor commentary I attach to them. We're getting a better sense of what kind of more substantial stuff gets play on the site and put more focus and energy on that. Being the cat video aggregator of action sports won't build us a brand. Suggestions welcome:

You are doing a better job than Unofficial, especially with some actual original content. Just avoid the "Top 10 Chairlifts" article.....

Ha,

I thought I was being cool by not spamming. What do I know, just the Gopher, ya know?

SnowBrains.com

Lemme know whatcha thinks.

The desperate daily thriving to be relevant. The sports sites are bad but the headlines that the news sites write for clicks are better than the content.

The headlines are what drive me insane. "This twelve year old skis better than you" "you wish you could ski like so and so" "so you thought YOUR weekend was good, this guy jumped onto a shark!" Twits. Your brain jumped the shark. Learn to write.

Powder mag does it right. In print and on social media. Original, fun and interesting content. Real articles with clever or luring titles. Keeping it real.
