I was talking to a rep the other day and he said that 4frnt is going bankrupt.  Can any body confirm this?

I have no valuable information on this topic. But I do know that GM, Chrysler, California, Greece, Iceland, and every bank in the world went bankrupt in the past year. So they're probably just biting the trend. So unoriginal.

Yeah, its too bad if its true, but the economy has been down the shitter for a while,and 4frnt isn't the most popular brand rightnow, to the guy going on about moment buying 4frnt, i think that was a joke.

doesnt sound like a rep thing to say that his company is going under, that doesnt provide that company with a good REP

Haven't you heard dude?  The EU is going down the drain and we (US tax payers) have to bail them out.  20% of 1trillion dollars to be exact.  That works out to about 1.6 million dollars for ever US citizen!  PUMPED!

If this is true that could be part of it, because if they are always warranting skis, then they are making nothing off of the skis warrenteed.

your math is way off there holmes. even if we were on the hook for $200 billion that would only be about $650 per US citizen. but the US is only chipping in $50billion.
Maybe my sarcasm meter is broken??

I don't think that's true seeing how they gave Wiley a pro model but it wouldn't be suprising seeing how they didn't have a really good reputation and made shitty skis from what I have seen/experienced

probably the same rep who said he hated their product and wanted to rep another small company. complaining about 4frnt all over the place this past week.

seems like he just isnt getting what he wanted and is now just being a horrible rep.

I rode with the main man himself at Park City not too long after C.R. died... besides losing CR things sounded to be going good for them.

the profit is in high volume park skis that don't see much abuse, small volume pow skis and park skis that get warrantied all the time turn no profit. 4frnt sells alot of the 2nd and 3rd but not much of the 1st
