The funny part is when you realise how many people he does successfully trigger with the whole self-parody schtick.
Yea, maybe it's just me, but nothing made me laugh. It's not easy being me. I rarely laugh.

A lot of this is grassroots influencer advertising/marketing. Ex-Olympians need to eat too, and I get it that Fischer or mountainflow or alterra/ Palisades are paying the bills for these videos. So I lower the comedy bar since this is more sponsored product integration rather than just pure comedy bits

Totally! Only I make mine out of scraps of 1/4" - 3/8" Plexiglass. My 1970's era metal scraper wasn't designed for today's wider ski widths, sometimes we have to improvise:roflmao:

I just fricken put that fricken stuff on there and now you want me to scrape it all off? :roflmao:
A civil engineer on a Ski Club trip, snowboarder, bought a waxing iron and wax on the trip and offered to wax one of the women's snowboard and my skis. He did her snowboard first and I noticed no scraper brushes or cork, when asked the engineer said he never scrapes the wax because it wears off after the first run
:facepalm:

Needless to say I declined the offer, took my skis to the area's ski shop and had 'em run thru a Winterstiger machine, tuned the edges too.

True story!

I had a speakin to with Donny a couple of weeks ago when he was at Sunday River. Me and him pointed em down his mogul course and went wicked fast. I was talkin to him about my wax and told him he shoulda used Dominata Butta wax like me. Best stuff to go wicked fast in the spring. I told him I liked his video and he did a pretty good job. I did forget to get some Moxie afta runnin the course, he was givin it away for freaken free.
