That's pretty sick if it's true...they have some crazy edge ideas with the swivelly pattern thing...it's pretty cool if it works.

So basically Wilson is riding for Burton. Lib Tech/GNU were bought out by them last year. I'm all for it. If it means more progression in ski design, bring it on.

lib tech is owned by mervin wich is owned by quicksilver. where did you get that burton story. i dont think burton owns any other companys, unless you cound red, anon, analog, and gravis.

My bad. Burton bought so many companies last year I got it all screwed up. Transworld Business says you're right.

^^wilson is amazing. people knock his skiing but he keeps progessing this sport better than anyone. lib tech is a good move, he will be there top skier. not only can he ski, hes a business man and he smart about it

haha, you're funny, i still don't like how tehy disown skiing

here's a quote from lib-tech aboot their skis: “We’ll always be a snowboard company, but we threw this design out there to the ski world to get them thinking and expand people’s awareness.”

Sage can kind of have a gangly style every now and then, yet there isn't much question that he's a dope skier. so what if Wilson flailed a little- i bet you NEVER do that. he's sponsored, you're not, Mr. Jealousmanguy.

i wouldn't put it past him or any other skier who is searching for a contract to try out many different skis, so it might just be too early to say he's with anyone. as was said, he's a businessman, so he's probably looking around at all his options.

yeah, anyone knocking on wilson is an idiot, he consistently takes tricks bigger than anyone except maybe candide, and his double cork over the superpipe gap was super smooth and sick.

Mike Rips and while being a little different he is actually a nice guy. and he is hand down one of the most underrated skiers out there, he is acutally not a bad big mountain skier and can throw down some big tricks, his doubles are crazy that one over the pipe in tbc like fuck thats soo gnar , big deal if he flails on occasion hes hitting a 100 foot gap lets see u do that and not kill your self let alone flail fag..
