On today’s show we discuss the growing boycott of Backcountry.com over their trademarking of the word “backcountry.” We also take a tour around the world to look at riding this week and check in with Mons Roisland in Italy and Ted Borland at the Bonezone. We discuss with Jake Aaronson the importance of filmers and editors using The Dustbox Presents and Nitro’s Offline as examples. The episode finishes off with Clip of the Week and we’re giving away tickets to Tailgate Alaska. 

 

Block 1 - THE BACKCOUNTRY.COM DEBACLE

 

Backcountry.com has been suing small businesses and startups over their use of the word backcountry. We take a look into this developing story and the rising boycott that has arisen in response.
