Koncept is a new Tall Tee Company based out of Tahoe. We are a snow based company that loves powder days and parks. Keep your eyes open for our winter line coming soon! Also look for Koncept Team riders on the hill this year.

yo snowblades, i gotta call you out on a few things.

first, your mindset has been so heavily tweaked by mainstream, corporate capitalist mottos that it is makes it''odd' to you to see a ski company launching a ski that has not been extensively tested. how the fuck else do you launch a ski company? did armada spend 3 years conducting structural testing and market research before they dropped their first ar5s? NO! They dropped them and the surrounding hype was proper. if boone had nothing going for them, their surrounding hype would be nothing, but instead it is proper.

second, you have no idea what a niche is. so dont act like you know, dont pretend to be a smart as bret with such a name drop as 'niche.' a niche has barely anything to do with ski dimensions.

third, show up to JPI at boreal in a month, and talk your shit there. we deal with people like you much better in person, ya dig?

just an observation, but with armada, their skis were incredibly similar to the rossignol skis that were getting made, so not exactly a lot of new technology there...



something to consider is that boone does out source their skis from someone who I am sure is not making skis for the first time.  So it isn't like the skis are being constructed on a whim.  the manufacturer likely has been building skis for sometime and are now building the skis to boone's desired specs, so it isn't like they need years of testing to know at least that the construction works because it has already been done, if that makes sense.

Yea, I am really name dropping with niche. I can assure you I have much more complete understanding of it that you do. I am sure those 2 marketing courses at Cabrillo College have made you a master of understanding business terms.

just a question, shouldn't PROs be on the pro team if you have an "am" part too? if not it should probably just be a team and not labeled.

Zach steele and I ride for koncept too, but we are the owners of the company.  we are trying our best to have an AM team it will probably be a while before we have it in full effect though.

Woah there tough guy.

I'll message you later in the season if I'll be up in Tahoe and you can fight me for talking shit about a ski company (that statement is hilarious to me) then I can make you like a lost 8 year old in the park.

Uh.. dude.. i dont think he was talking about fighting you... and was rather saying that if you have a bone to pick, come to tahoe, and spew hate in person if youre that passionate about hating on a ski company yourself.

sparknotes: its easy to hate online, but if you cant back it up in person, then you're a pussy ass snowblade gaper.

actually i'm pretty sure he's good at snowblading :P
I wouldn't be calling him a gaper. He does have some good points in that sometimes people who support boone/are sponsored by boone talk about it a lot. I think cutting down on it IS a good idea, but in this case this thread really didn't have anything to do with boone and it pretty much was needless hate. If he had said this in another thread I think it would have been valid.

I really don't care what you think, if you want the definition of it go to fucking wikipedia. I am attempting to get my thesis published which is centered around mathematically modeling niches within the online market. But since you are a leader in the field then I will have the journal's peer review board contact you to weigh in on the matter.

Or I can just lecture you on the subject while I teach you how to ski.

I actually agree with snowblade dude....and I am quite surprised.  

The whole Booney thing has really turned me off and that is sad because II may have supported them if they did not have so many annoying kids on here hijacking every thread and overprotecting this company.  The facts are that not everyone is going to like the company and it is something you have to deal with.  I just get annoyed with constant hype and promotion from kids especially when it seems like they are hyping it because they want people to know they are sponsored by someone.  

The only thing worse than general hate, to me, is when kids get their panties in a bunch about the hate and start trying to change those haters minds.  That is not going to happen and it creates more disdain for that brand.  Just deal with it, let it go, and have fun with your skis.  

By the way, I am so sick of the word "sexy" being used to describe their skiers and their skis.  I think that might be the single lamest marketing campaign in skiing right now. 

That is just my opinion though so please do not try and change my mind.  I am a big boy and can make my own decisions.

As far as Concept tall tees, best of luck fellas.  I would like to see these revolutionary shirts.  We should start a contest to guess what this revolutionary aspect is going to be.....I am going to guess that they are either:

a.)  edible with various flavors being used for each color
or
b. ) made of a spaceage material that can allow you to float longer in the air due to the fabric's reaction to oxygen

Each niche to it's own as far as I'm concerned.

But true creativity has epoxy on its shoes and bits of base material in every piece of clothing it owns.

lets bring this back to Koncept.. great team but you can't honestly have that be your whole pitch for having people buy your products. i looked on the myspace and saw nothing "revolutionary", hopefully those were just shirts you printed quick for promotion. if not, please take the time to put something with substance together, we don't need another shitty streetwear company thats around for a month. that may have all sounded mean and i do wish you best of luck, just make sure you put in time to make quality shirts.

dangerdoom over here is right, dont be all "oh we make tshirts" and then find out there is more to the game than just that. if youre in business, be in business, if not, just make stuff for your self and drop it.

haha whatever dude, there will always be hate flyin around, and we know that, obviously.

we just like to back our shit up when somebody calls out on what they do not even understand.

as far as the sexy thing, its just a halfway serious tagline lol.

Koncept is obviously a business and we are in it to make a sick product.  We currently have a small budget because we are just getting started. Hope you enjoy the product. More designs will be dropping soon.
