Not sure this exists and I for some reason enjoy keeping up with sponsor changes and what companies people are riding for so drop your industry rumors, speculation, and thoughts here.

Who is Sam Zahner riding for now? He seemed to have a good thing with J and pro models, but he's making the move elsewhere this season

Line dropped every non-insta skier and pooled the newfound money to get marcus kleveland riding the line lateral

All I can say about Sam is that he landed at another company that makes real good skis, hope it's announced soon

No surprise there. Seems like ON3P has a very difficult time attracting (and retaining) highly talented skiers. Wonder what the reason is there since they seem to be well liked in the NS community.

yes a lot of their graphics are in questionable taste, but are their skis actually bad? genuinely wondering cuz I've never ridden a pair. I don't see people sharing negative experiences about them breaking etc. on here often like I do with line.

I've legit never heard a bad thing about J Skis. Top sheets are so subjective, i always dismiss any criticism and just focus on overall product.

I love j lev for basically creating our sport but the current state of j skis is pathetic

My guess would be they may lack the ability to pay skiers, and if a company comes to someone and offers them any money at all they'll probably take it. Complete speculation on that but I doubt many people are getting paid by ski brands to ride skis, especially smaller brands like ON3P who aren't farming out part of their production to fill rental ski orders for resorts

Some pretty big names have been on the brand over the years, and spent many years on the brand. I don't know how you can expect a small domestic brand to hold on to all the talent when they blow up and are able to field bigger offers. Sponsorship is about return on investment. ON3P has an amount they can invest. I'm sure they know what kind of engagement the people they sponsor generate.


And FYI. Instagram followers =/= enagement.
