Although I dont think Simon would, I'm pretty sure they could afford him. I think its kind of odd that coreupt seems to be building their skier base before even putting out any different/interesting skis.

Actually, they probably could... They were talking to him at the beginning of the year, and although they didn't get him, he was looking into it...

what you guys are missing is that for a pro with a limited shelf-life it can make a lot more sense to get in on the ground floor of a company with long-term potential than just take a paycheck from a big firm today.
in 2002 what would have been a smarter move; bigger paycheck from salomon or ownership stake in armada and less cash upfront?

There would have been benefits from doing either

sure, it's never bad when you're getting paid to ride, but my point is that companies can "afford" riders in different ways.
