Well, neither had we. That is, until Arvan over at Angrydouchebag.com decided to air him out for a few facebook comments. Turns out he&#8217;s one of the up-and-coming Minnesota\u00a0riders featured in the edit above, and also a member of the Smokin Am team, whatever that means. It all started when Garrett here responded to this status from Jerome Kuntz&#8217;s personal Facebook community about his pants, and asked\u00a0why can&#8217;t we all just get along?<\/p>\n<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\n<p><script>\/\/ <![CDATA[\n(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jerome.kuntz\/posts\/10202652018763051\" data-width=\"466\">\n<div class=\"fb-xfbml-parse-ignore\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jerome.kuntz\/posts\/10202652018763051\">Post<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jerome.kuntz\">Jerome Kuntz<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The comments go downhill fast as Angry tries to &#8220;drop knowledge&#8221; on Garrett on facebook, saying things such as &#8220;Do you understand what a marketing tool is? Because that&#8217;s what that edit is. You are nothing more than a means for Smokin to push a product, sure you can ride a snowboard on some slushy snow and hit some park features. WOO HOO let me just get down on my knees and start slurping on your dick.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now Arvan is enterprising and he and I both know, nothing gets the clicks like pointless Internet arguments, and he saw a great opportunity there. Rather than just letting the argument play out and die on Facebook like it should have, he decided to put Garrett on blast on his blog.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.angrysnowboarder.com\/words-garrett-mckenzie-self-entitled-low-level-sponsored-rider\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;GARRETT MCKENZIE A SELF ENTITLED LOW LEVEL SPONSORED RIDER.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now normally I would disregard\u00a0such banal arguments in hopes ignoring\u00a0Arvan will make him go away, but after seven years of this approach, the public is demanding that Angry be put in his place.
