Well, Forum owned Jeenyus so when Burton picked up the Forum company, they also copped Jeenyus.

Oh well, Burton sponsors one of my really good buds and make pretty cool looking stuff. They're not bad in my books.

Actually the bought 4 star distribution, which held ownership of Jeeynus, Forum, Special-blend, and Foursquare. Jeeynus isn't even in production anymore since Wall and Ikka got moved to Forum, which is kind of a downer.

Why doesn’t one of you kids make an effort and start up some sort of business instead of just bitching about how terrible a snowboarding company dropping skiers is.

Did they actually drop the skiers or just not advertise them on the site??? Who is the girl to the right of hanah teter, looks like michelle parker. They may still be working on the site and adding skiers once they have all the skiers riding for anon this year figured out.

had them for a year.... tryed them out compaired to O frames. Lets just say i sold them, went back to my O frames for my helmet, and Wisdoms for everything else. You can't even compair the fit/finish, comfort, lens quality, and looks. The ONLY thing anon has is their funky designs, but thats it. Literaly, they felt worse then my first pair of Uvex gogs that i bought at Canadian Tire for 15 bucks. Not to mention that Oakley has been backing skiers from the start, and i think their ski team is WAY bigger then their board team. Sorry, there is nothing wrong with a company supporting the sport i love. Anon is poop to me, and always will be.

Yup.

All Anon ever had going for them was cool graphics.

They were a shitty product.
