the thing about hans is true. cept he's loaded so he didn't need oakleys help, just why kill connections with the most dominant company in the industry. the rep for armada on the east is the same as the oakley rep just because it makes life that much easier for them. there is your connection...armada is not owned by oakley.
line was started by jay lev who is friends with mike nick one of lines first pros. mike nick started his own company called siver cartel which obviously makes it a tight connection with line therefor sponsoring every line rider with siver also. siver is pretty much working how line does. karhu owns line but lets them work as line and orage owns siver but lets them work as siver (kind of intersting since siver is coming out with their own outerwear line next fall). kinda like how addidas owns salomon (or vice versus i forget)
