    Re: JJ off rossi

    Bad move right now to start his own company--in this economy. Hopefully for him, he has as little of his own money in this project as possible.  Big mtn. freeride boards? Thats aweful small subsection to market to. He better bring some good talent over quickly--and from multiple venues of snowboarding. Introducing.......................ta da! J.Jones 152 edgeless jib board! Cant see it.

    Re: JJ off rossi

    I wouldn't really say it's a bad move. Many successful companies have been started in recessions (GE, HP, Microsoft, CNN, Hyatt etc) and Rome was started in 2001, probably the worst year to start a business that's success is largely connected with the travel industry.

    Until we know more I don't really think you can say whether it's good or bad. He could be doing something like Sansalone and just having 800 boards made and more of a limited collection type deal.

    If he is(which I doubt) going for large scale production, then I'd agree with you 100%

    how is a snowboard company anymore connected to the travel business than any other business, and how come JJ didn;t just tell you what his plans are?

    Florida and Texas have some of the largest ski clubs in the country, they all have to travel to ski. If they aren't going to travel there is no need to buy gear of any sorts for that upcoming season.

    rome makes skis? its all so clear now. rome should have just made a travel agant division since the two businesses are so intertwined.

    Do you honestly think that the two have no connection?

    I would answer your first question but it will probably start some debate and since you know all I better not argue.

    Only JJ and JJ would know what his plans are. I'm not going to spew some *** I heard from a friend who heard from a friend.

    so ya, have at it

    they are definitely not interconnected to the degree it would make or break a start up.

    i knew you couldn't not reply, you can probably barely contain yourself that someone doubted your almight, all reaching, virtually omniscient knowledge of the snowboard industry, you know, the level that only a photographer can attain.

    On second thought I will answer this.

    Did you know that not everyone that ski's or snowboards has a decent location within driving distance that offers quality riding? gasp!!!! some people (ontario,michigan,new york, as well as any non mountain state or province for that matter) actually have to hop on a plane to get some snow time in.

    Crazy I know! How can such places exist!

    I could probably write an essay on the connections alone but I just can't see the value in trying to get through that brick wall that blocks logic and reason from penetrating through that dense skull of yours.

    I'm actually quite contained. I guess I was fortunate enough to learn at young age that there are idiotic people scattered everywhere on this planet and internet message boards are not immune to them.

    I've never claimed to know all and can't imagine ever claiming such a thing. It's funny how because in a couple threads that you don't agree with me you have to bring it everywhere in a totally different subject matter.

    Anyhow carry on with your hate, I don't care and I don't think anyone else cares what you have to say.

    ha i knew it. please show me the stats that prove that such a percentage of people must fly on planes to make a snowboard company viable. you do realize many many people live within driving distance of snow resorts, right?

    i'm surprised ANY business starts up in this environment, crazy talk yet it is happening

    fucking RETARD

    DOC, of course it has the potential to make or break a start up.
    We ("core riders") are not the majority of snowboarder resort visits or retail purchases. It's the vacationing familys that drive ski/snowboard industry. They spend the majority of the$$. If they aren't going to travel there's no need to get new gear for that year. I was around for the Rome start up. They launced the marketing towards the core rider but if they don't have the follow up from the caual rider it's make or break....look at Essa.
    Oh, and for the Rome Makes Skis? comment...save that nonsense for tooling on the Newbs,
