I don't understand why people want to be negative about someone that has done a lot for the sport, and been able to make a living from it. If you, or someone you know, is an accomplished rider and wants to do the same, then do it. Put up or shut up. Building a business that supports your family and others is no small task, especially when it involves a sport like ours.
Chris Burandt is a genuine guy that supports local clubs by attending their meetings and events. He speaks to people without being an arrogant a$$ even though he is one of the top athletes in our sport. Some people here could learn a thing, or two, about that.
I too am tired of the same old sled videos of simply getting air or climbing hills. I am also glad manufacturers are building better products that help to evolve our sport. Many of these changes are attributable to Chris and the population he represents.
Chris continues to pioneer the sport and build his business with Burandt TV. It is tough to go where no one has gone before -- too bad people can’t respect that. Maybe his marketing plan will work, and maybe it won’t. Maybe it is right for you, and maybe it isn’t.
Maybe people are just disgruntled that he is making the most fresh tracks in the sport while others are left only to poach.
