Landslide With Shredunion

Hey everyone it is Andysign here

I have been getting  a little more involved in the SnowSports….

I am sitting here in Las Vegas Nevada at a trade show called the SIA: SnowSports Industries America

Check it out
There are People that live for this sport and are improving the quality and performance of the products, brands, and images that you see in this industry… and those people make up the SIA

To get to the point they are:

• Educating their resellers
• Providing us with top of the line gear
• Keeping positive in such times as these..
• Keeping the waste down and protecting the earth
• And bottom line helping us to get the products you want cheep and higher quality then you could ever expect!

This show rocks I have been here researching the brands like Skull Candy, Rome, 686, thirty-two, etc… :) I have meet with a lot of people. Now I am here to bring you the latest knowledge from those geniuses behind the products. I got a chance to hang out with lots of cool people like

xadness with Shredunion.com

Pro rider Devun Walsh

And my all time favorite rider

Pro Rider Lauri Heiskari

I guess I can say this trip was a success now giving me an opportunity to share my knowledge with you id like to discuss what products we are looking at carrying in our shop….

As my good friend Mike Teschner from eco-lounge.com would put it
There is life after Burton….

Since the buy in for Burton is so high we would like to support all of the brands that are doing rite by their brand and not monopolizing the name of snowboarding

I know a lot of you love the brand… and by no means is it my intent to bash the name because they do a lot to support us … in the beginning…I am just here to say it is time to hop off the band wagon and bring you products that specialize in what they do.

• now a company that I think is on top of their game is FLUX
That is the first brand that I will bring in just because their reps know his stuff..
The quality and concepts that they have addressed like THE INFAMOUS capstrap (they were the originators of this technology) and the flux flexeyness combinations of nylon and glass gives them ultimate edge in binding technology and I am in love with their binding the titan rk :) cant wait to test it at the test fest … ill go into detail in a later blog due to the length of this one :)

• Stepchild has some of the sickest graphics and constructions out there … good job guys although I didn’t get a run through of the products (due to my own time constraints) I will get back to that one later =)

Color ways are all pretty flexible across every line out there so mix matching is going to be wonderfully easy

• DC is another one out there… looking out for the world The Pro Rider Lauri Heiskari board will have 3 different base colors to reduce on waste of materials used to make the graphic on the bottom
And they also have a line of characterized sickly looking animals to bring awareness of how global warming is effecting the wildlife around the world by bringing them out of hibernation early … idk if that is the rite way to explain that but you get the Idea I hope … lol

• ROME is another one … taking that technology up a step
With their wide array of cambers… they have a powder s camber, traditional positive camber, Reverse Camber (aka banana) and a hybrid camber …
Rome is offering multiple boards in each category witch makes their line one of the biggest lines I saw with such a variety of constructions… their next years line up is going to be sick is not to mention all their other products like boots bindings etc. you get the point :)

• And last but not least on this blog FLOW
What more can I say Sick color ways super advanced the best selling binding we have ever had and ADAM (our rep) is the man he took in a lot of ideas that I had to offer and it was definitely beneficial for both of us plus they have a true 24k gold binding that is just obnoxiously awesome

Welcome to the most blinged out binding you could ever get and plus they come in a fully padded carrying case to complete the packages whopping price of $1000

Now your boss if you have a pair of those :) …. sooooo start saving lol

Well hope to hear from everyone on this article it was fun ill have more for you after I get back from Vegas see ya soon

P.S… Any questions on this or anything about the SIA and 2010 products coming out throw it at me … hope to hear from ya…

sorry it is so long …
