voy10Maybe if their skis weren’t 800 dollars they’d actually do business

voy10Maybe if their skis weren’t 800 dollars they’d actually do businesstrue their skis were hella expensive, but they did have that rail damage warranty though. As far as I'm aware of, no other ski companies besides HG (and revision but they dont count lol) were willing to stand by the durability of their park skis to the point where they would offer a warranty for rail damage. For all other ski companies, the warranty becomes void if you decide to hit rails. That always made sense to me from a business perspective, but at the same time it seemed silly because why would a company design park skis with the intent for its customers to use them to hit rails, and then say "but dont hit rails on our skis cuz the skis aren't built to sustain repeated impacts on metal." Although HG did make rather pricey skis, the fact that they believed in the durability of their skis enough to warranty rail damage made the price worth it, and makes HG one of the realest in the game. Very sad to see them go.
snowfinderON3P team just got a little bigger.
GrandThingsI know the airlines lost his stuff but I was wondering why Hackel had been on ON3Ps for so long. Couldnt imagine that shit being cool if HG was still around. Huge bummer.
And because I have to make a prediction: Keegan to Faction
-DanHe’s been on a spare pair from Magnus for 4 days. I wouldn’t call that a long time. Definitely unrelated to this announcement either way.
-DanYeah I see what you are saying. Would you expect Hackel to just not ski until his stuff shows up tho?
My point is just that him being on On3p skis rn has nothing to do with HGs announcement and everything to do with his bags getting lost.

MF-HARPThey are definitely not related. Hackel's bags were lost, Magnus did what any bro with spare sticks would do.
However, I reckon Hackel would fit right in w/ ON3P if he no longer has a sponsor... just as an above member said Keegan would be a top choice for Faction. Would love to see that team edit!
-DanWherever they go I hope they get a nice check so they can keep skiing as much as they want to.
DesertStixI guess we’re finding out you can’t be “G” and “core” and stay in business...
VISHNUUnfortunate...5 to 9 was the first team street video I saw in skiing and inspired us greatly.

hot.pocketDebatable.
GrandThingsIf I was HG team manager? You're damn right I would expect him not to ski, or at least not put content out highlighting one of your biggest competitors.
I'm not at all saying he, or Magnus, or anybody is in the wrong here. I just thought it was a little bit weird. Remember how much drama there was when Jonah rode a pair of Atomics when his RMUs broke/got lost? I just wonder if HG wasnt under if he would have posted all that stuff.
Regardless, I think ON3P is a perfect fit and hope he gets a fat stack of cash from whomever so he can keep the dream alive.
DesertStixIt was sarcasm. I think the problem, and others pointed it out, was the price. You guys at Moment are more reasonable

TOAST.They should have done one last round of pre-orders and then closed down without shipping anything.
iggyskierReading between the lines - as we were surprised and asked what was up (lost gear as mentioned) - had HG been continuing, I am sure a different solution would have been found (like overnighting new skis).
I am sure the decision to shut down wasn't made lightly or quickly, so I'd bet it was already made when the skis were lost. At that point, no value is spending more resources
As for the overall picture, skiing is worse off today than it was yesterday, and the number of people & brands out there committed to pushing skiing & ski media in new and different directions takes a big hit. Obviously, the small brands compete against each other to an extent, but we also know there is power in numbers and it's a sad day to see one of us calling it quits. Well wishes to their whole crew.
