Let's head back to 2022 when the music was an all time low, frosted tips were at an all time high and on the island of Oahu everyone was getting excited for the all female edition of Pipe Masters. That's right it's time to crush on some NFL quarterbacks while waiting to get barreled and watch...BLUE CRUSH!
Will BLUE CRUSH receive THE ROCK FIGHT stamp of approval or will be forced to erase it from all human consciousness? Check out this Outdoor Movie Review to find out!

March 29, 2023The Free Race Swag Bag Tech Tee
The rules around the t-shirt you get in a swag bag at race check-in:
If it's cotton: stoked. Wear it all the time.
If it's synthetic: You can't wear it. Ever. Making it left behind a path of environmental destruction and wearing it will immediately result in stinky pits and chafed nips. Run up to the race director and throw it back at them.

March 27, 2023 Kitsbow Closes Shop
Emergency pod alert!
Last week it was announced that premium cycling apparel brand Kitsbow would be closing up shop. Known for it's high end, high performance goods, Kitsbow tried to buck the system by producing apparel exclusively in the United States which proved to be too challenging according to the statement put out by CEO David Billstrom.
Today on THE ROCK FIGHT, we are joined by Justin Housman to break down what happened and look at what would be necessary for Kitsbow's goal of domestically produced apparel to be successful in the future.
Please send your feedback, comments and suggestions to [email protected].

March 21, 2023 Vasque Tells Everyone to Log Outside
Last week on THE ROCK FIGHT we dug into the bullshit embedded into a lot of the marketing consumers get from outdoor brands.
And in an example of absolutely impeccable timing, this week, Vasque Footwear launched Log Outside. A new call to action that isn't tied to a specific product or with built in ROI metrics but is more of a mindset to value putting down the device and building some outdoor time into our busy lives.
So is this the direction we all need right now? Will we look back on this as a pivot point in how outdoor brands engage with consumers?
Today on THE ROCK FIGHT, Vasque Director of Marketing, Joe Peters comes into the arena to talk about the role of outdoor brands in the greater outdoor world, the idea behind Log Outside and how Vasque will define success for this new initiative.
Want to return fire? We want to hear from you. Send your comments and suggestions to [email protected].
For more information about Vasque and Log Outside head to their website (www.vasque.com) or follow them on Instagram (@vasquefootwear).

March 20, 2023 Bedrock Sandals Mountain Clog: A Gear Review
Are you a clog person? Historically that has not been a go to style for the host of THE ROCK FIGHT.
But when Bedrock Sandals released their new shoe, the Mountain Clog, it was a sign that just like Rocky Balboa told us in Rocky IV, 'everybody can change'.
Justin Housman from Adventure Journal (aka Bedrock's biggest fan aka Beddie the Baddie aka Lay Me Down on a Bed of Rocks) is back to offer a gear review about Bedrock's new offering where (unlike a lot of other outdoor media) you'll leave with either a recommendation to buy the Mountain Clog or a warning to stay far, far away.
Check out the Bedrock Mountain Clog: https://bedrocksandals.com/collections/bedrock-mountain-clogs
