I never payed attention before but vimana's bindings (particularly the straps and ratchets) are very B-ish.

whatever factory that mold is out of is just cranking those out now


CHX/Evol's new line was going to have a clone or two of these, as well.

Is Santa Cruz snow still around? I haven't seen shit out of them since your former employer imploded. Dunno if they're still floating around in Europe. They're not on the NHS Direct website any more.

I haven't seen a speck of them this year, guessing that's why JP jumped back on the F train.

Santa Cruz seems like a popup brand, release some branded stuff every now and then.

I feel like that is a K2 strap with a B buckle.

I took a flyer on a 2023 Santa Cruz Decal 3 that popped up on Marketplace. Rides surprisingly ok-- "yep, that's certainly a snowbord" --but man soooo many cut corners on that thing. It's the only board out of 13 retired / active boards in my basement that isn't factory detuned at tip and tail, sucker is RAZOR sharp. I'm also seeing some weird puckering in the topsheet at the tips under the topsheet lacquer, looks like they have some filler material in the ends.

I thought it MIGHT be a real company with a JP Walker Pro Mode, but I'm pretty sure my board at least is a shoddy reskin of an OEM template from some no-name factory. I tired to sell it for $140 and no takers lol so I guess I'll keep for something to bang up on tow rope days at Kingvale.

Even if SC was putting in work...

Peter, JP, JJ, and Duff on Forum. That's too hard to pass up.

It's possible they could get Devun.

Bjorns got his own thing now.

dunno whatever happened to Malami and Yli-Louma

But Forum Five has a ring to it

I was a huge forum (and dc) fan boy back in the day

I think my riding tastes/interests have changed so much that I don't really care about it today (or any of those expired brands)

but good luck to the PL JP JJ, rider owned* is always good

* is slash (and winterstick) the only other rider "owned" brands out there? I dont count Yes/Jones in that group
