Any link to a PR?

Grenade gloves suck?

No wayy,ive had grenades almost all my life and ive never had them crap out on me like some of the Dakines that me and my friends have had,In my opinion Grenade has way better gloves then Dakine.

They kind of deserve it, though. Since every "extreme sport" is based off surfing one way or another...

The original reign in flood was/ is my fave glove of all time. Going into its third sweaty stinky season on my hands, and with no let down in site.

The lineage is there, surfing -> skating -> snowboarding -> skiing (our kind)

Without surfing I think our sport would be just a little bit different.

big mountain is. Take a look at all these "tricks" being performed on big mountain lines.

only similarity I can see between big mountain and surfing is slashes. Do tell what these tricks we are seeing have anything to do with surfing. the only tricks I see in surfing are derived from skating, which is derived from surfing (wave->halfpipe->wave). Nothing to do with skiing whatsoever. Newschool comes from skating, which as I may remind you comes from surfing, but big mountain has nothing to do with surfing. Skiing has been a sport for quite some time. Maybe as long as surfing, I dont know, and Im not going to look it up.
