Quik Pulls Out of Snow?
By admin • Feb 25th, 2013 • Category: NewsRumor has it Quiksilver has relinquished its entire snow team except for Travis Rice (probably because he transcends all sports) and almost its entire skate team as well. We’ll post the official press release when one comes out, but for now, let’s all express our outrage with little-to-no information.
WHAT??!! A huge corporation fucked over a bunch of awesome people for what is probably a rediculous reason?? I can’t believe this shit!

Lib, gnu, roxy are all owned by quiksilver. I find it hard to believe that a company that grossed $1 billion dollars last year would pull the plug. But look at Burton, they gave up on the biggest best team in snowboarding. Lets just all make wooden snowboards like Spring break and the VT Huffman bros.

I love how tender some are getting as high unemployment continues, healthcare regulations are enacted, fuel prices continue to rise. What the “fuck ” am I talking about will go way above low information voters thought abilities and the “believers” out there. Realitycheque, the Federal reserve continues quantitative easing so the stock market is artificially inflated, Obama has spent 5.2 trillion dollars in an effort on many levels to “stimulate the economy yet unemployment has stayed at the new norm of 8 percent. Thank goodness China still loans us approximately 34 cents of every dollar to subsidize his monumental spending. Wake up realitycheque, a Senate lead by Democrats has not produced a budget in 4plus years making the argument that “I’ll go line by line, item by item and make the necessary cuts”, Obama has done that, or slowed his spending one pinch. The cost of doing business in this nation has gone up and that’s a fact. How many companies have closed, cut hours,discontinued brands,cut teams,cancelled contests, small board shops closed…….8.5 million less people are in the workforce since 2009 yet America spent a trillion and unemployment wasn’t going to go above 6percent we were told. What’s so great is this is Obamas second term, it’s time to see some leadership and yes he owns the economic results we are ALL seeing, feeling and paying for. If its all just made up why is unemployment payments, food stamp use and disability supplemental income at all time highs? Get ready for more cause its only gonna get worse folks. I could care less for low information voters responses, reap what you sowed from a Democrat controlled Senate since 2006, and a Democrat controlled Whitehouse since 2008, Republican regained Congress since 2011……..Time for our campaigner/golfer in chief to lead. Own it

I hate politics and snowboarding coming together, but I also hate to pretend that politics and economics aren’t affecting the business of the sport I love. Wake up and read.

When’s healthcare costs gonna go down? Do you know what the30/50 rule is? Do you have your qualifying health insurance that is mandatory in 10 months? Or are you just gonna pay the 895 dollar penalty? Yobeat should do a couple of interviews with some company owners and top pros on the new regulations and tax increases? Is business as rewarding? Is the economy weaker or stronger? How are sales of product? Is the increase in healthcare affecting your bottom line? Are you trimming your work hours and workforce to adhere to the 30/50 rule? Some top pros are definitely in the now vilified realms of the top 3 percent earners, how does it feel to pay your “fair share”.

Fred Deluca of Subway sandwiches addressed the issues yesterday on CNBC. He said Subway would not have survived if it had tried to open now, he mentions government regulations and Obamacare plus did you guys read that Americas GDP grew at a paltry 0.1 percent. These are facts business’s weigh when budgeting and planning for the coming year.
I find it unfortunate that a few of you down play YoBeats comment board and readership. If we are snowboarders we look at things differently, we cheer on the individual(Travis RIce for example) and we are for individual choice and rights……all things that are now under siege by this administration.
Off to go shred ALL day yo, really am sorry if my point of view and daily reading upset anyone. Like many where rubbing in my face “elections have consequences”, I just wish they hadn’t based this sassy-ness off the shows on Comedy Central…

Curious, since when did snowboarders scoop out their brains and just hop in the mindset of “everybody else.” Fellas I shred just like you. I believe in myself not government. I earn a dollar, I wanna keep as much as i can and not be told I’m evil for that. I fill up my gas tank it costs 80 dollars, that’s 30 dollars I don’t have towards buying gloves, or next years pass. Eh, pass is a bad example, last two were free but I think you get what I’m saying. Tip of the day: if you have the money, fill your gas tank cause petroleum is going to keep going up. And don’t hate on petroleum, most boards, boots, bindings,sunglasses and clothing are petroleum based and at the very least gas gets these items to market. When was the last shipment of boards you saw carried by peddle cab?

UN-AMerican!!! Thank goodness for smart phones. Gotta reply. So you see folks all jnorth has is to say I’m “UN-American” just because he can’t refute what I’ve posted. So sorry jnorth, be specific “What exactly did I write that upsets you or is untrue?” Jnorth is a believer and I can tell by his suggestion of “UN-American” he’s learned this from the acting administration, don’t answer, don’t be specific…..just attack, call names, and change the topic. Jnorth I have a question for you. At what point does Obama become responsible for his actions and the resulting affects? He’s the president, it’s time he leads and time he owns his administration and its policies, from drones to the economy, when J! When?

I said I hate the repercussions of politics on the business of snowboarding. What’s hilarious is how uninformed most of you are. So the 12.5 million people looking for full time work, that’s hilarious. So the 83 percent rise in fuel costs, that’s hilarious. So the increase in health insurance, that’s hilarious, even though it was passed to reduce the cost. So the fact 11,000 plus signing up for food stamps everyday, that’s hilarious. So the founder of Subway says he couldn’t start Subway in these times of Obama, that’s hilarious. So the fact an ambassador was killed in Benghazi, the first since 1979, again hilarious. So North Korea setting off two nuclear devices, again that’s hilarious. So the fact food prices are rising, that’s hilarious. “That Guy” what’s hilarious is its gonna get worse and those on the left are going to have a harder time making excuses for Obama……..so still no answer ” When’s Barry responsible for this?” Bet any of you, more teams cut, less companies around in ten months. If I’m wrong laugh, but when you see it occur know I told you so… Your naïveté is hilarious.

And you know what, I’ll go out on a limb here. Any of you wanna hear a truly inspirational guy, one who could out debate Barrack in 19 minutes, a guy who doesn’t blame others, or ATM’s, or the weather like our president does. Google Ben Carson, pediatric neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins, I love watching Barry squirm. Yeah, go ahead, pediatric neurosurgeon he’s a dumbass. He presents alternatives to Obamacare and a tax structure that would encourage business, growth, independence and above all does it without demonizing people. I hope he runs in 2016, he has said “I’m not in the Democrat Party, I’m not in the Republican Party, I like to consider myself in theThinking Party”. I think. I know a few of you should start thinking. Gonna watch the video of him now, again, try it out. Again gotta pack, shred mission

So odd how snowboarders dislike Chinese manufactured snowboards yet when some vote they are so for borrowing money from the Chinese. So Chinese boards: BAD Chinese money:GOOD
“Why so many countries dislike Americans”. Who? Socialist nations like France, Spain or Greece. They all hope Germany keeps bailing the EU out.
Been shredding last three days straight back for more
Fellas, ladies…….by your comments…….I could out debate you anytime, anyplace but I don’t need to. Barrack Hussein Obama is our leader for the next 3.5 years, I am ready to see the magic. This is president is a joke, but you all got what you wanted I hope but not seeing any good change. Still no solid rebuttal FYI. Back to shredding, how’s living at your moms working for you?
