back on the snow
Hey all,
I used to post here a lot from around 1995 - 2003, or thereabouts. I've still been snowboarding, but spending much more time in the water, working at my desk etc. Anyone still here from back then? I know a bunch of the names, but I'm at work and can't remember off top of my head. Dave Roberts? Anyway, I'm starting a little side project - my own snowboard company: Rise Snowboards Inc. Vermont, USA 2008 - Prototype 2009 - Production - Take the high road! - I have contacts at Burton going way back, know Hayes Bros. in VT, which also has a press, and this is my brother's company: http://www.selectdesign.com Clients include Burton, Cannondale, Timberland, Ben & Jerry's, Pepsi, US Snowboarding, etc., etc. So as you can see, I have the groundwork in place. I'm still doing my regular freelance work, I'm just getting started on this. Not sure how far it will go, but I'll have t-shirts and stickers this year, and will at least build my prototype: Rise Arise - 162cm, directional, wood core, "step cap", top notch sintered base, wrap around edges, maybe some kevlar or other lightweight materials, titanuim???? More specs available. There will also be the ladies' board: Rise Rose - 144cm, etc. I have logos, etc. Just thought I'd throw this out in case anyone has suggestions, comments etc. I'll probably just give a couple boards to friends, who rip in park and freeride and see where it goes from there. This group has always been great, and I've missed it the last few years. Also, put up a bunch of links on my YouTube page, including Mervin, TB 8 and other snowboard trailers...enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNioEUwGvzs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C0PCZ99k08 There's no sound on some of them for some reason. Others, including a bunch of surf clips on the site. Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice. I hope you're all getting ready for winter here in the No. Hemisphere. Cheers! -jw -- jsw's new england surf page http://the_urchin.home.comcast.net/index.html surf photos - surf words - surf art - all new england! |
