Colorado B.S. Thread

That's honestly pretty messed up. If I read that right Backcountry.com was founded in 2015 and some of the companies with "backcountry" in their name they are going after were around way before that.

 

No, they were just acquired by a private equity firm in 2015, they’ve been around since 1996. Just seems that the lawsuits started in 2015, coinciding with the acquisition. No coincidence, of course (/s).

 

Backcountry Magazine is from 1994, Backcountry Exprience in Durango is from 1984. I was in the outdoor retail/wholesale market 40 years, there are many commercial uses of the term going back before them. They were a wholesale customer of mine in their early days when they were just a shop in Heber City, UT. Had some fun with their buyers and management before their buyout and my move to the retail side. Protecting a trademark from legitimate infringement is necessary to maintain it, but I don't understand how a magazine, guide service, local retail, outdoor classes, guiding, etc. could be considered infringement when they aren't using the goat logo or competing in e-tailing with the same products?

 

Another company thinking they can do whatever they want. Thanks for the heads up. Won’t be buying from them anymore.

 

thats a shame, they always have such good pricing

 

I bet if they win these lawsuits they'd celebrate with a killer sale

 

Ah....capitalism.

 

Haven’t bought anything from them in probably over 15 years but my two shining purchases:

Marmot Halo 4 Tent: around $50
My first Ever soft shell ski jacket (Mountain Hardware): $25

 

They always priced matched for me. Hit them up on their live chat and said I'm looking to buy item x from company x, heres a link, can you beat that price. 9 out of 10 times they would.

Guess we will see what all the hype is about. I'm Curious from the "looks like an APC from the future" description Musk used.

 

You gonna buy one?

 

Depends on what design turns out to be it, but I'm in if that is decent and $49K Target Price is hit.

 

Cyber truck will be a VR model

 

How many EAF points does it come with stock?

 

"Electric-AF" not sure I can count that high.

 

Fuck, now I have to start carrying a generator as recover gear? Or just a huge inverter?

 

Depends on the sin wave of the inverter or if the generator has cleaner power output. I’d suggest both just in case.... then again I have not stayed in a holiday inn in a while so i could be blowing smoke

 

Just have to text Musk and he will send over a SpaceX rocket to recover you from any place on earth (Mars coming soon to)

 

Coming soon to where?

 

Anybody have recommendations for a good motorcycle shop in Denver? Gonna need new tires soon and a service.
