hohonukai 0 #1 June 26, 2002 http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2002/Jun/24/il/il20a.html I know this is nothing new. But his article annoyed me so much. I'm thinking about sending a letter to the editor about this one. Extreme sports coverage can be a benefit to skydiving (and for example, more students at the dz due to latest Mountain Dew commercial). Some of us actually live the life. What's wrong with "extreme" sports? Nada. Responsibility has nothing to do with what a person enjoys with play. Wanted to post because it helps ease the frustration to make fun of this mousy, judgmental person. (edited the url) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skreamer 1 #5 June 26, 2002 What exactly is your guys problem with that article? I think it was well-written and made some very valid points. You guys are only being judgemental because you are part of the "extreme" crowd mentioned in the article, but it is totally not aimed at any of us. That article is aimed at the great unwashed who think that because they use some product advertised using extreme sports, that by association they will be extreme too. I think that was a fine article and you people are a little too over-sensitive. That article was obviously aimed at the consumers of those products, NOT the people practicing extreme sports.

jtval 0 #9 June 26, 2002 I skimmed this article. but what I got out of it wasnt too much name calling but more of a "if youre arent extreme you aint shit" thing. I.E. the name Ultimate frisbee(its a game I played) but gimme a fukn break(i got one...my collarbone) how Ultimate can frisbee get?! they give it a fancy name and suddenly its cool? It seems as though this writer is calling the "X"treme ppl a product of the advertisment market...I dont drink SODA, least of all MT. DEW(which clearly says that if you do, you can hang upside down out of your rig etc etc) I dont eat doritos(not since I was force to quit smoking the wacky tobacky). I dont drive foreign cars and if you were reading you know I dont use narcotics.( sure I prob'ly still have risidual stuff left in my brain but ...) to insinuate that the extreme ppl are only doing so bc the tv told them so is a fukn joke. and the rag that printed it should realize this guy is writing on a subject he probly has nothing more than i silly self imposed opinion on. if he has experience he woulda written about something else!My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skreamer 1 #11 June 26, 2002 JT, you have to bear in mind that that was a column - ie one person giving his views. IMHO that column was aimed at the couch potatoes who consume/drive/whatever the products, ie get the consumer thinking that using product ACME would make them extreme/cool/whatever because the adverts showed people doing extreme/cool/whatever stuff while promoting product ACME. This was a column in a paper giving one person's opinion, not a factual news report/article. I think it was well written and gave good food for thought and don't understand why it got you guys up on your high horses. A bit over-sensitive perhaps?

JDBoston 0 #21 June 26, 2002 I'm with Will. I think it was also aimed at the advertisers who've been using the "extreme" image to suck money out of the couch potatoes. Regardless, I think this guy is actually defending the purity of "extreme" sports more than anything else, and is pissed that they're being cheapened and overmarketed to people who don't have a clue what they're about.
