Honestly, I think David Lesh took up snowmobiling because he sucks at skiing just like he sucks at life.

Haha! I hope this ends up costing him way more than whatever fine is coming his way.

With all the free publicity, his sales must be through the roof. .....

We need to get puregravity to look into this. Something sounds fishy. It's not the first plane he's crashed.

Bonanzas are nicknamed "Doctor Killers". Nice planes, shame to have on at the bottom of the ocean. I wonder if he is required to recover it.
Honestly, the kid is a D-bag, but this kind of thing happens in aviation. Doesn't sounds like it was his fault (yet).

I'd heard that nickname—my GF’s dad flew one for years—but my understanding is that there’s nothing bad per se about the plane design: https://www.google.com/amp/s/general...or-killer/amp/
Know of a pair of Fischer Ranger 107Ti 189s (new or used) for sale? PM me.

With full recognition that Lesh deserves to be dick-punched hourly, am I wrong in thinking that it takes some semi-legit pilot skills to pull off that landing unpowered?

$10 dollars this is a very elaborate staged event. Something smells.
Insurance company on that plane should give this extra attention.

Absolutely. News story I saw said he was trying to sell the rights to the crash(if that's what you want to call it) to the news outlet.
When asked if this was a publicity stunt he gave obvious cues of deception.
Douchebag trustafarian of the year goes to
David "my mother should have swallowed" Lesh.
Wouldn't it be grand if he had to pay for his own rescue?

I'm not out to defend the guy, but it's an interesting thing he's been able to convince so many people of that trust-funder image.
Real background is more like one of those grifter rainbow-family gypsy types. Some childhood in India, some time knocking around in Wisconsin, dropped out of high school to sell weed.
the whole trust-fund thing is byproduct of those videos, which he says were put together with a lot of favors and a low budget.
He borrows money to get product made in China or Vietnam or whatever....then makes what he makes. The whole thing is a hustle. He built it all from scratch. The flashy douchey bullshit plays with the skittle kids.
It was incredibly fascinating to learn all of this listening to Mike Powell's podcast.
edit: here's a link to that very interesting podcast:
http://www.thepowellmovement.com/lis...111-david-lesh
anyway, fuck ripping up the wilderness. Fuck crashing planes in the ocean. Fuck all that. The point I wanted to make is that Lesh is kind of like one of those professional wrestlers who pretends to be rich, then eventually that act makes them rich. Like Ted Dibiase (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_DiBiase) , or Ric Flair. And he's playing all that up for the 13 year olds who buy Virtika. If you think he's a trust-funder, you're buying his act hook line and sinker.... "Larry the Cable Guy" is really a character created by comedian Dan Whitney. Andrew Dice Clay is a character created by comedian Andrew Silverstein. Trust-funder David Lesh is a character created by small-time ski industry hustler David Lesh.
re-edit: here's an article if you don't want to do that podcast

Weird deal, he's definitely laid an epic series of trolls.Last edited by ill-advised strategy; 08-22-2019 at 09:25 AM. Reason: added linkies

I listened to that podcast awhile back too and I didn’t get any respect for the guy,
but I also found the wealth illusion pretty interesting bc while he’s a douche it appears he’s figured out how to market to his intended audienceskid luxury

@ bbear Yeah, I agree.... in the same way I don't particularly care for the hippy hustler scene. The point, and what I find most interesting about the whole situation, is that he's got people up in arms about this rich guy being an asshole, when the whole thing is a play. It's a really nihilistic guy from a really poor background, who fetishizes wealth, trolling old people to lash out at his rich asshole character, while having fun playing that character, to sell a line of soft goods branded to rebellious kids.
pro wrestling stuff.

Ok, so I can still hate him, but not because he's a trust funding douchebag? I can hate him because he's a run of the mill hustling douchebag?
