Another Sign of the Apocalypse: Ed Hardy Snowboarding


So I have a few strong opinions but I like to think I'm fairly diplomatic. That being said I don't throw people or brands under the bus. However everybody ahs their point where they say "fuck that". In all honesty seeing the above teaser graphic made me throw up in my mouth a little bit. Ed Hardy as a brand has always struck me as a poor repackaging of flash tattoo art and I typically see three types of people wearing it:

1. The 40+ girls night out "Moms Gone Wild" crowd
2. The bad New Jersey crowd who obsessively apply fake tan, use hair care products and make that kind of weird sucker fish face when they have their pictures taken.
3. Anybody who appears in a picture on the website HotChicksWithDouchebags.com (as pictured)

So , yeah, I have nothing good to say. Although I do think this will be the official uniform of a certain crowd going to "Huntah!" mountain every weekend or suckers who rush Killington to do drink more than shred. Ah well what can I say some people are born to be shitty. Thanks for passing this along you-know -who.

  2. Are you just angry because you have one of those tattoos or because you've been pictured on hotchickswithdbags?

  3. seriously. Come on, this can't be for real. Is Nordstroms now gonna carry decks? Seriously. What's next--jaegermeister-Jaegerbomb decks- oh wait, that's already been done.

  5. This is great. Change your graphics slightly and now you've got a snow division. Marketing genius.

    Looking forward to Ed Hardy Skate, Ed Hardy Hack-Sack and Ed Hardy Ultimate Frisbee soon.

    Gotta give them credit though... the $$$ is probably rolling in as I'm trying to figure out how to get discount lift tickets for local resorts.

  6. Wow. You are right on with your interpretation of the Ed Hardy sect. Right on. There is no end to the shame of outside brands trying to cash in on the boardsports culture.

  7. I for one am insulted by your negative portrayal of both NJ and Hunter Mountain. Both fine places to live and visit.

    I think these decks will be the perfect compliment to my new Giants starter Jacket and 7 for all mandind jeans.

  12. Pull your head out of the snow and stop being such a snowboard snob. Who died and made you the snowboard design king? All that matters to the general population (who probably get 5-10 good days of boarding in a year) is the design/graphics of a board since there are only a handful of manufacturers. My motto is if Ed Hardy does it for them I will certainly sell it to them $$$.

  13. As long as they help further the sport through sponsoring riders I really don't see a problem.

  17. you're an idiot and need to get a life....I snowboard and find nothing what you said to be valid or worthy. If you love riding so much, why the hell do you care what people are riding on or what they're wearing?....looks like your a faggot and have nothing else to do.

  18. I think it's great that they are coming into the industry. After all there are a lot of mom and pop stores and normal retail chains that are shutting their doors after years of business. The old shit isn't selling why not bring a product into the market that actually may sell and help us to keep our doors open a little longer. It's too bad you don't see the big picture. You must still be in high school though...

  19. Didn't we get into this sport to not be judged and told what we can and can't do?? Pretty hypocritical don't you think? I'm sorry I like living in the land of the free. It's losers like you that one day will ruin the economy bro.. And I not only fucked your girlfriend but your sister as well and with my Ed Hardy tee shirt on..
    BRO....

  21. Listen Ed Hardy lover posting on this, Ed Hardy for all intensive purposes is just a cum stain in my underwear, easily forgotten and just washed away in the next load of laundry. That is all this industry has thought about Ed Hardy, just another passing load of laundry, nothing noticeable, nothing to differentiate itself from an already existing army of good brands that have paid their dues. So Ed Hardy snow, in the good words of Donald Trumo, "You're Fired" from our industry, as we roll tight and together, and yes we do judge - we judge on things that are whack, so do the math on what I am saying as you are whack.

  24. Ed Hardy, get the fuck out of snowboarding! You don't know the first thing about the lifestyle or the sport for that matter. Your fashion sense and design sense are fucken' wack. I've taken shits that look better than your clothing.
