Sponsors - who you’d want to ride for

Avatar

So imagining you were an absolute rippo with all the skills and knew all the right people, what companies would you love to represent and have them pay you to ride? Who would you love to have as your sponsors?

I guess in another way this is asking, what are your favourite snowboarding brands and if you could choose any brand of gear, what would you have for your board, bindings, outerwear, goggles, accessories etc! What companies do you think come as close as possible to representing you in some form or another!

I think I’d like to ride for Arbor, Bataleon, Yes or Jones snowboards would be cool!
Not too fussed on bindings brands…maybe I’ll say flux to keep Mizu happy wink
Outerwear, I think 3CS would be ace…that is all I can think of for now.

board wise id be happy with either bataleon, lobster (just hanging with those dudes would be payment enough i think) or yes, but if i was pro id love to be on an aussie board makers roster if they could afford my awesomeness smile

Outerwear i like 3cs too, special blend and i hate to say it but every year burton brings out some sort of jacket that i really like
Accessories wise, rad gloves, electric dragon or von zipper googs,
so many options, i think if i was super pro id have a hard time picking who id go with.

Are you allowed to ride for burton but have dragon for your goggles or do you have to wear Anon? not sure just wondering?

I forgot too that it would be fun to be on the DC team and shred with torstein all day…apart from just gazing at him from as close as I dare at snow park. haha

Lib boards, DC boots and outerwear, Ride bindings, Electric goggles.  Could go Analog, Burton or even Quik for outerwear though.

The DC Team do look like they have the best fun!!!!! I do like my DC board as well!!!!!

3CS gear I have a new found fondness of!!!!! I want a pair of NIKE boots next, so if I got them for free I’d be a happy camper!!!!!

I’ve really liked the Dragon Goggles that I have won on here, otherwise I’d go ANON!!!!!

I reckon a couple of random non-industry sponsors like Heineken & The Australian Beef Industry would be cool for after shred supplies!!!!!

And how could I not use any other binder than FLUX????? I’d rather duct tape my feet on!!!!!

I have to say i took my DC Devun Pro out for the first time last weekend to hotham (was awesome knee high pow) and it reallly suprised me, its a fantastic board! Definitely my favourite board so far! You can just send it on anything!

So in saying that, id love to just wax and tune the DC pro teams boards haha that would be an awesome sponsorship for me =D

board = YES, no doubt about it, all about freeriding grin
bindings = burton
boots = burton
outerwear = volcom or analog
goggles = oakley
helmet = sandbox
gloves = radical or celtek
hoodies = yukithreads

Should probably point out that this is my current setup, couldn’t be happier with it

 

Analog, Union, 32, Dragon and DC. Would be happy with a bunch of other brands, it would actually be easier to state who I wouldn’t ride for.

Burton is separate to Anon. Burton team riders can (and often do) have different goggle sponsors, i.e. Shaun White and Oakley. Some non-Burton riders are sponsored by Anon too.
