once again. sketchline has informed us on how stupid he is.

when we say "core" we mean an athlete - oriented company, taht only makes twins.

not core as in money making, big name.

Could you guys get the point instead of arguing over bullshit? Matt walker won the Young Ôpen, and therefore has a new ski sponsor..

and if im not mistakin if you win a qualifier event for the "final young gun throwdown" in VT you get a flow deal from Line skis.

If you come first in VT you get a signed contract with Line, and the other sponsers

Actually this does look like a contract, and it does look like Line's logo and J. levinthal signature next to it..

Straigth from liberty's website:

Matt Walker wins Young Gun Open on Liberty Stealths !

Liberty Skis rider Matt Walker won the Young Gun Open at Copper Mountain, Colorado (Jan 7, 2005).

Matt beat an incredibly strong field with his dialed-in, eye-popping, mad skills.

Details will and pictures will be posted here on the Liberty site and on www.newschoolers.com.

Matt's victory came on Liberty Stealths - 180cm

All of Liberty Skis salutes Matt Walker and congratulate him on this great accomplishment.
And to think, we were some of the first guys smart enough to sponsor him! Way to go Matt!

Is it me or the Young Gun Open is the one comp you dont want one of your rider to win? especially when its one of the best one on your team?

word.

and a ski company, ya while there loosing a key athelete, thier still gonna be stoked for his success. This is, and still can be even more publicity, and an oppertunity to further his career. Who wouldn;t want that for someone? No matter who you are.
