Grenade Gloves’ Logo at the Center of School Conflict in Colorado

Grenade Gloves’ Iconic Logo at the Center of School Conflict in Colorado
Students Fight Censorship at School for Right to Display Grenade Logo–and Win!

BRIGHTON, CO—November 18, 2008– Fans of Grenade Gloves won an all-out battle for free speech at their school in Brighton, Colorado.  Friday, a group of students at Brighton High School were asked by high school administrators to remove Grenade stickers from their cars or face serious disciplinary action.

Kathy Gustad, an English and Journalism Teacher and head of the school newspaper at Brighton High School says several students were called into the school Vice Principal’s office on Friday and told to remove the Grenade stickers from their cars, because they were allegedly offensive and a symbol of terrorism.  Ms. Gustad says the students explained that the grenades are simply logos for snowboard/ski gear company Grenade Gloves, and that even a number of teachers sport the stickers, but the kids were still ordered them to remove them.
After the incident, Ms. Gustad and the students contacted the Student Press Law Center, an organization which provides free legal assistance to students on free speech issues. Ms. Gustad says the SPLC encouraged them to fight the sticker ban.

On Monday, the students went back into the office to declare that they would not be removing the stickers.  Students say they were told that they would be ticketed if they parked on school grounds, and could also face more serious disciplinary action.  Tuesday the students obeyed by parking their cars off school grounds, but did not remove the stickers.  The students are also running extensive coverage of the story in their school paper.

Late Tuesday afternoon, school administrators changed their minds, and decided to allow Grenade stickers at school.   The school district spokesperson, Allison Lockwood told Fox-31 News, “This is what they teach the kids to do–to speak up if they think something is not fair, and they did that, and it had an impact on the decision.”

Grenade President and two-time Olympic silver medalist Danny Kass is sending a large box of stickers to the students to congratulate them on their efforts.  Kass told reporters Tuesday night, “I’m really proud of those kids and fans who stuck up for it, and stuck up for their rights and made it acceptable.”

The Grenade logo represents a unique company that exploded onto the snowboarding and action sports scene.  The Portland, Oregon-based company encourages living a brave, constructive lifestyle to the fullest.  There’s no war connection, and Grenade has never advocated violence.  The Grenade slogan is “Make Gloves, Not War.”

The Adventures Of Danny And The Dingo Premieres

Grenade gets real with “The Adventures Of Danny And The Dingo”

New Fuel TV reality show roadtrips across America with the infamous Grenerds

PORTLAND, OREGON—September 29, 2008—Grenade President and two-time Olympic Silver Medalist Snowboarder Danny Kass and his sidekick, snowboarding personality The Dingo, are bringing their wild times into living rooms across America. Their new reality show, “The Adventures of Danny and The Dingo” debuts this week on the Fuel TV network.  The show chronicles the best friends’ antics on and off the slopes as they compete in major competitions and search for the next great undiscovered rider on the Grenade Strikes Back Series.

“The Adventures of Danny and The Dingo” features world-class snowboarding teamed with madness.  The eight episode series takes fans into the world of professional snowboarding, and gives talented amateurs a chance to compete in front of the pros for a shot at a big-time prize and industry recognition.

“So many crazy things happen behind the scenes, we just want to make sure fans get to be a part of it,” says the show’s co-star, The Dingo.  “Some of the skateboarders have done that, with shows like ‘Viva La Bam’.  But so far, snowboarding hasn’t really been promoted in the same way, on a mass media level.  We want this show to do that for the sport.”

The series begins at the X Games, as Danny, The Dingo and the rest of the Grenade crew cram themselves into a 30’ RV for the “Grenade Strikes Back” Tour.  They head for the mountains in search of riders, inviting only the freshest talent to compete in the Grenade Games.  When they’re not on their boards, the team manages to get into all kinds of trouble. Cameras are rolling as they drive a hotel manager over the edge, attempt to eat nothing but frozen pizza rolls, and play a practical joke with a permanent punch line at the tattoo parlor. The season finale wraps up at the Grenade Games, as the team judges the finalists they met on the road and awards the winner with a spot on the Grenade Team and his own signature piece of Grenade gloves.

The first season of “The Adventures of Danny and The Dingo” premieres Tuesday, September 30th on Fuel TV.  Season two is already in production.  Please check your local listings for exact times, and visit the Fuel TV website and GrenadeGloves for more details.
