I have to agree that it seems irrational for people to discount certain brands of snowboards because they are made by manufacturers of skis. It would be bad for some of the core brands, such as Prior, who have gotten into the ski market if skiers wouldn’t buy the skis because they are made by a snowboard manufacturer. The core brands have to survive too and I’d hate to see them disappear for something so irrationally ideological.

I'm with you on your opinions on the (ski companies). I don't understand it when someone won't look at a rossi or k2 board and the sole reason is because the company also make skis.

rossignol, dc, libtech and gnu are all owned by quicksilver, so you're probably going to get a similar product with each of these companies. So its not just a coincidence when rossi, libtech and gnu all have magnetraction in their boards.

haha yeah there’s a reason I didn’t post it this weekend after drinking. That would be the full force drunk rant…uncensored. But I said everything that I could recall.

Yeah I used the proform to get backpacks and a t-shirt…really the only thing I could afford and needed. I actually like the packs…last me a lot longer than a belt.

As far as rants go. I'll give you a restrained 6. Elegant and a noticeable lack of profanity made it quite pleasurable to read. Your comment about airblaster was just enough spite to cleanse the good two shoes feeling from it all.

Now, as for Burton pro form, good call on not pulling the trigger. Every year I have done it I regret it later. This year I said "no more!" I'll probably sell out though and buy something.
