Why BroBomb Sucks Now

14 Comments

The spark is gone. Something happened and quite frankly, I don’t like it. I (and 10 other people) used to tune into BroBomb for insightful commentary on ski culture, call outs (of the non-G.N.A.R. variety), and retrospective pieces that reminded me that skiing was way cooler ten years ago. Now all I see is a bunch of edits from Jon’s tight pants wearing friends and Dunfee posting the stories Powder and TGR didn’t accept for their sites. So my question is, what happened?

Here are three non-researched theories on why BroBomb is in the shitter.

1) Jon stopped skiing. With the snow levels in Pennsylvania almost reaching negative 20 inches, it’s understandable.

2) Jon got a real job and didn’t tell anyone. This is doubtful but hey, it could happen.

3) Maybe the site doesn’t suck and my headband has been awesomely strapped to my head too long. Either way, this post is in no way a pissed off response to Jon’s post a few weeks ago about someone getting me a hat. There’s no way I’d do something “sucky” like that.

*Note* If you got through this post and feel like you wasted the amount of time it took to read 200 words, here’s an Eric Hjorleifson edit (after the jump). Today is his birthday. Happy Birthday Hoji.

Jon Hartley Probably Hates This Already

2. Rap music

3. Simon Dumont

But that being said, I have a nifty login here at BroBomb and damn it, I’m using it. Enjoy the 2010 Team America JOSS Edit. God knows Jon won’t.

Mike sent me this email yesterday. He’d probably prefer that I exclude the initial note, but that’s just too bad.

“So I’m sitting in an airport and I had a few thoughts I’d like you to post on Brobomb. Feel free to post them under my name. No aliases on the Bomb. That shit is for pussies. Anyway, here goes:

European X Games is never going to work and here are three reasons why:

1. Sure, it’s great for the twelve up-and-coming Euro skiers to compete in the “X Games” but a majority of European skiers will always be racers. ESPN wants ratings and when it comes to Europeans, we all know they could give less than half a shit about a bunch of no name North Americans that make less than $100,000 and throw down in a U-shaped stunt ditch. Unless, that is, their homeland heroes win Gold and Silver to beat those no name North Americans. Viva le Bertoni! Viva le Rolland!
