He skied for Volkl for years before his accident. I don't think they ever dropped him. But, that's sick that they stuck with it and supported him through everything.

Oh yeah....That's the kind of stuff that actually makes me want to purchase products from a company. Not because they have the best riders in the business, etc, but because of situations like this.

Props to Volkl
--but i guess if they did dump him, every1 would bitchat them and they'd be labeled as "The company that only cares about money" or "Cripple Hater" or sumthin like that

Actually, they do have some of the best rider in the business, so you can support them for both reasons !. Ahmet, Russel and Colby are very sick.
Such a sick compagny, supporting the up and comers and some vets(Chris Collins !!!).

Someone pick up Vincent Dorion. He has no sponsers, not even 4frnt, where he has a pro model. Now he works as a landscaper because nobody will sponcer him. If you dont beilve me read Powder Magazine where they have an interview like thing on him on the last pages. Show him some love and thats very cool Volkl would keep Marc Andre, he must be super stoked
