First post and that's it ? :thumbsdown: Sounds like sour grapes. Honestly you couldn't be wishing bad stuff on a better company.

Omatic's booth was JAMMED at SIA, and that sure was not the case for everyone. They expanded BS technology to 3 models and the rest of the product looked unreal. It was very cool to see the line of kids (of all ages) who waited for a few minutes of time with TR...and he had the time for every one of them. The guy deserves his icon status in the sport.

Omatic is a core little company that is run entirely by riders. They are stoked to be building great boards and offering them up at great prices.

It's not like you are slamming a group of corporate types in suits. You are betting against the good guys.

Core little company run by dishonest buffoons



The good guys who f*%k their vendors again and again with unpaid debts??? Doing biz wit these jokers is a whole different enchilada than bro-ing out at SIA. The fact is these gay 'riders' don't have a clue what they're doing and leave a wake of burned bridges and bad debts behind - the downward spiral will end up in lawsuits! Who ya gonna bet on then?

i have a buddy that only rides Omatic boards, and i've thought about picking one up myself..the beating he puts them through really shows how good of a board they are. I know nothing about the company and sounds like this guys being a little whiny bitch...plain and simple!

Littlebird is a lot of clueless......Omatic isn't going out of business, fortunately thanks to companies like Omatic there will be one less gay company trying to follow the lead of every other brand in the industry. I know that it can be difficult to understand that people ride Omatic boards because they actually like the way the boards ride and everything the company stands for. I am one of the humans that gets to interact with this crew and I have to say this is a brand that is comprised of snowboarders who actually care about snowboarding. If Omatic went out of business that would be a sad day since our industry is over saturated with non-original bitters chasing the "cool factor". It's not cool to hate on one of the few cool companies like Omatic. Isn't this a technical forum to discuss products? Instead the social networkers of the world have decided to use this helpful forum to spread the rumor of the day. Hey Littlebird, get a clue quit talking shit and stick to snowboarding if that is something you actually do from time to time instead of social network yourself into radness. I would love to know what your deal is and your hidden agenda.

Nov-matic

go to omaticsnowboards.com just saw a clip of Nova on a new Omatic 2010 board. Nova is still down for Omatic, pretty cool! On a product note, he loved the Sweet board from the 2009 collection which explains why he was able to score the new Sweet. It's one of the best flex patterns in the line according to field testing feedback.

Yeah, evidently the IOC has made all of the companies drop the profiles of Olympic riders. Shaun White isn't on Burton right now. I guess they threatened to not allow the athletes to compete or something like that,. Because if I was Burton or any other company, I would have told them to fuck off.

you have remember that its the olympics and understand the values behind it.

snowboarding has come a LONG way from the days when treje dominated the pipe. the progression involved in extreme sports is typically very rapid. with this comes big marketing ploys and propaganda. now consider the fact that snowboarding is barely a decade old in the olympics. thats fine and dandy... but what are the olympics? for simplifications sake, its a competition of time honored events considered to be the most difficult in the world. when everyone is gathered its not team rider on team rider, its countries competing for national pride. i think with the more sports that enter the olympics the more they lose their prestige. take the 1980 games, when the US beat russian they werent boasting about the fact that their CCM helmets were what helped them win. it was an accomplishment on a national scale, that day everyone was proud to be an american.

i know i sound like im ranting, truth is i have no feelings one way or the other. but remember its the olympics, not the X games. no one seems interested in what sperm suit the lugers are wearing...

Yea, it's all great when said and done, but when they have stations like NBC covering the events? :dunno:

If it truly is about the nation's pride and the purity of the sport, give us a free broadcast without commercials.

But then again, they wouldn't have the money to run the event. And that folks, is what we call life.

I just don't see what a company has on their website has anything to do with the competition in Vancouver. I understand having rules on the marketing/branding at the competition, but a website? Seriously lame, it's none of their business if the rider has a profile there or not. Maybe no mention of the Olympics. Hopefully the companies throw the profiles back up as the competitions end.

If there's supposed to be no marketing, then Ralph Lauren shouldn't have been allowed to put his polo logo on the clothes for the opening ceremony, and make it larger than the USA logo.
