<\/a><\/p>\nIt seems you can’t open Facebook these days with out seeing another an article about the\u00a0poor snowboard industry and its dwindling budgets.\u00a0What will the super pros do now? How will we ever exist without 40 movies a year explaining to us what snowboarding is? This week, the Board Sports Source <\/a>poses the question “what does snowboarding need” to\u00a0Nicolas Muller, who is currently struggling to fund his two-year film he feels will ” help steer the industry out of these troubled waters.” His answer:<\/p>\n It needs more of Jay Adams, of people who really live the culture and don\u2019t sell out. You know now there are brand teams full of people who now have 300,000 followers on Facebook thanks to the Olympics. I\u2019d rather have 1,000 likes from people that really care, rather than 100,000 likes from people watching for a couple of days during the Olympics. This is just my opinion, but there were phases where skateboarding looked like it was dead \u2013 but now look at it!\u00a0If something\u2019s real, it\u2019ll never die.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In other words, Nicolas, who rides for Nixon (Tri-Atlantic Capital Partners and Billabong), Oakley (Luxottica) , Nike (NKE), and is rumored to be on the verge of riding for a wakeboarding company,\u00a0thinks snowboarding needs to be more punk rock. Well, how about this. You don’t want to be a sell out? You don’t need funding for your movie. Ditch the heli, hike for your turns, craft your own no boards out of wood you found in your backyard, and\u00a0film your two year project\u00a0about your meth addiction and jail time, not your boarding.<\/p>\n From the sound of things Nicolas thinks people doing what he’s doing are the problem with snowboarding. To us, this all sounds like one big \u00fcber entitled first world issue. Now, for the last time, is it fucking winter yet?<\/p>\n Read the whole interview here<\/a> for even more glorious contradictions!<\/p>\n
