Yes we can?

 

The guy who posted on the TW site has it close,

"why will it be sick? it will undoubtably be off the shelf constructions and tech from GST or Elan. juts another “brand” with no engineers or designers behind it. boring. long live mervin, long live the BMC, long live indies with their own factories, and death to all these cookie cutter rider owned nonsense brands"

These obviously will be just stamped out from a factory with some cool graphics, little to no real tech advancement, who knows about the construction?? Nothing to see here---hope these guys put as little of their own $$ into this venture as possible.

And why on Earth would you want to start a new board co. in these economic times--seems well thought out---not.

Burton is making their boards.

This will be Rome #2 for Burton. Another company started by "former" Burton people.

drjcv:

haven't really cared to watch DCP for years now

they're not eco enough for Nico i'm sure

they don't have 100's of 1000's to pay Gigi!

Capita got Travis Parker. Stranger things have happened.

Bobby, before you go opening your mouth--read the post---I was quoting someone else---about the factory that will produce them or the lack of engineers. You see Bobby thats what these little things called " " (quotes) are for. My later statement were opinions and not facts. What about them do you disagree with? Cool graphics? Little to no tech advancement? Please Bobby name me some tech advancement from board co.'s like Dinosaurs Will Die, TechNine, etc etc. Those boards will be stamped out asap to get this co. rolling--if they move forward. Do you honestly believe they've got some sick tech stuff up their sleeves that they held out from Burton?? They have a time imperative to capatalize on the name aspect of these riders before a percentage of the public believes (wrongly) that these guys are washed up due to being cut. Wanna argue about construction? Do you know what manufacturer is gonna press em? I stated who knows? Thats an open ended question Bobby with no fact associated with it.   Perhaps you want to argue about the current economic state that we are in--apparently you need some facts--to prove what? That the economy sucks? Cmon guy.

Better go back to riding powder. You skills at argument are lacking. Just what I want it an "agent" --a real bulldog you are Bobby. I might suggest some reading on the subject as you are ostensibly acting as an advocate--also I might suggest some attention to detail.

 

Nidecker has their own factory right? I rode a few way way way back and they were alright. maybe they can do it right.

Maybe because you haven't been able to really watch him the last few years? haha

Dude's been hurt for the last 2 movie years(picture this and DD) but his parts in FMA and Chulksmack are off the hook!

Strange time to start a new company, but best of luck to them, they're all pretty rad dudes and hope they do well!

And as a side note, weren't all of you stoked on Sansalones boards? It's almost the same thing he's doing, just giving feedback, testing, riding board and sending them off the a factory(whichever one Nitros or Stepchild are made at)

Just because they're being made at some off North American continent doesn't mean theirs no tech into them. Burton has most of their clothing sent off the CHina(source: my AK jacket label) and that stuff is the best. They do however put in the time, gather feedback and test the crap out of it. I imagine these 3 guys will do the same.

And another food for thought. Who said they're going to even be selling these boards? For all anyone knows it could just be a small run, enough to give them enough boards to ride a season and maybe a couple extras for friends?

Each one of these guys can probably live off other sponsors rather than a board sponsor.

that's all for now

i don't anyone is saying there will be "no tech" in them. sansalones boards have no inovations other than a good idea regarding the stance pattern. people were stoked on him and what hes doing, not necessarily the boards themselves beyond how they look.

Do we need "inovations" though. Obviously we do but not everything does. I guess my beef is that people are so frickin negative.

I mean, it's one thing to not like something. I don't like a lot of things, some people, but for the most part I keep those to myself. Is it really necessary(not saying anyone on here was but over @ TW) start bashing something before it even gets going?

I respect your opinion about not being fond of watching DCP ride, but what does that have to do with their "new board company". There's no denying he's very talented in what he does, just as Shaun White is talented in what he does, but I, and I assume many others don't really enjoy watching him.

lay off the hatorade!

no i'm just saying i don't personally care about DCP, thats all.

and regarding inoovation, i dont know. it seems the industry is going more towards "brands" than companies. look at volcom and DC. there aren't bringing anything to the table other than a logo. if someone wants to ride a volcom board its because they like volcom or are into volcoms image, which can be said about any snowboard company, but you cant believe volcom brings as much to the table as burton libtech or even ride, right? do we want r&d companies to exist or do we just want brands?

At the same time, techy companies like Palmer and Nidecker don't get much love from us snowboarders either.

Neither does Venture snowboards and they R&D and press all their own boards in Silverton Co. On a side note speaking of factories does everyboard company have a machine like Burton's Infinite Ride that breaks the board in for you or is that their own creation...?
