this is a direct quote from freeskier:

"this summer, sporting equipment giant Amer Sports acquired Salomon from Adidas. In addition to making salomon and atomic sister companies, they move has also made it possible to connect simon dumont with - you guessed it - Kevin Bacon. Dumont skis for salomon, now owned by amer sports, which also owns wilson. wilson sponsors gary Sheffiel, who plays for the Yankees with Alex Rodriguez, whos sponsored by rawlings, owned by k2 inc. in addition to owning k2 skis and a slew of other companies, k2 inc owns earth products, which owns hawk shoes, started by tony hawk, who cameoed in the 2002 action blow out XXX, starring vin diesel. Vin played private caparzo in Saving Private Ryan, which starred tom hanks, who played Jim Lovell in Apollo 123, which also starred Kevin Bacon."
