I can’t wait to post something thought-provoking on this topic in 2011.

I realize this is effectively a long dead topic, but I felt the need to voice an observation. The footage of Weeks sending Zion was not shown in Pure. I can’t say whether it was in the DVD extras, but regardless, it discredits Mr. Fryberger’s claim that Brian Solano’s footage “took away from the commercial value of Pure”.

Fryberger’s move was total BS. Chuck, if you read this, you should be ashamed. Cookie tore that route apart, and to take that away from him is ridiculous.

[...] Via B3Bouldering, here is the “lost” footage of Mark Hobson repeating the now infamous dyno Zion at Clear Creek Canyon, CO. This is presumably the footage that was on MVM last week before it was abruptly taken down. You can get the full backstory here. [...]

I’m kind of surprised more people haven’t thought that this move by Chuck is bullshiz. But I guess he needs some kind of hype to get an audience for his new movie after he nearly bored us all to death with Specimen.

Hopefully, someone else will get Cookie back out there and make a new short.

i didn’t mean to make the climbing community seem important, but i don’t think we need to be any more petty than we already are.

let’s just all go back to filling out our scorecards.

medic-
I can not speak for all of the sponsors/advertisers in the world but I have worked for 2 of the largest in their respected fields (leaving nameless because I do not want them tangled in my web).Never have I been apart of or heard about sponsors influencing how media is distributed. I have heard of things being re-shot in order to do sponsors justice and Climbers re-climbing things in oder to “get the shot”.

So…here are the major problems we “outside the circle” face.

1.The media we face comes from only a handful of sources (call it a monopoly). they control how, when, grade, who, and if we think it is cool.

2.from 1st hand experience, Climbing companies have no money and is a small market. All of the people “in the circle” need to work with/against each other in order to have $$$…

3.We “outside the circle” want info/news/something pretty to look at now!

The only way any of this will be solved is when the athletes have the sexy little ladies and or men…depending on whom we are talking about, who carry pad’s to the project start shooting video and post it on a blog or some secret video site (I can neither confirm or deny that “secret video sites” are available).
