It shouldn't come as a surprise that we're going to be covering SIA this year. We want to take things a bit farther though and get your input on what brands you'd like to see covered first and the most in-depth. If I missed someone in the poll, let me know and I'll make sure to add them! Stay tuned for a preview article dropping this week.

Thanks!

Atomic, Lange, Patagonia. high quality and high performance. not the low quality FT or Armada, from a business like Armada and FT perspectives they make there products with low quality material made to withstand only a season in the park they know it going to get thrashed and trashed thats what rails and concrete do. it like feeding a blind dog

I don't think you should be focusing on brands so much as new tech. There is nothing more disappointing than watching an SIA video of a product line that is exactly the same it was a year before just with different graphics. Don't get me wrong seeing new graphics is cool, but I can always browse their site a couple months later. At SIA you can really help the most from getting us the specs we want to know but are rarely shown on company sites, such as rocker profile shots.

With that being said I'd like to see more from companies that aren't talked about too much anywhere like head and elan -especially with their tbt, yes it's been around for a while but I can barely ever find anything about it.

New stuff.

Also, instead of just going from booth to booth, doing typical coverage, you check all the stuff out and make comparative write ups of all the new stuff. This could work real well for all the touring gear that comes out every year. Instead if just talking about each piece on its own, look at it more openly and without fear of bringing up short fallings of one companies offering compared to another. You know, shit the magazines would never do. Not everything that comes out is needed or a great idea/design. Last thing we need is another year of fluff.
