Hey fair enough, I should have said that. But i do not work for anyone. I am one person. I made the site my self. I do not work for anyone else. Only one person here trying to get some traffic.

In regards to your Flow bindings, I would ask the course leaders about the bindings. I know that some organisations advise against them as they do not allow the board to flex as it should (don't ask me why!).  |

Post #25 has it in one - you're being disingenuous, and the tone of the response you are receiving from me is based entirely on that. I don't like being lied to, and I like it less that you're trying to lie to the people here, some of whom may be under 18.
It's good that you've now admitted that you work for the company you're pimping.
Please either contribute to the thread or pay for your advertising. There's no need to repeat your sales pitch on numerous threads. |

Hi there,
I am not sure whether you know much about websites or SEO. but the matter of the fact is that I am hosting th site in the US because of SEO purposes alone. That is it.
The website ( and I am not sure whether you have used it or not ) is intended to give users a starting point, if you fill out the form the results you get back are based on what the industry informs riders of all levels, what the starting point should be when they are looking for gear. At no point do we ever tell anyone what particular board, boots, bindings or what ever they should buy. Or do we ever imply that everyone out there uses the same gear.
where does it say on the site that everyone out there should use the same gear? that is what choice is all about.
The site is intended to help people. nothing more. If you are an advanced rider - then do not use it, you should know what you like or you do not like. Please do not talk about a service when all you have done is taken a look at the site and not used it.
The service has only been live for a few days only, the site is still being finished - the main part of the site is ready to use - and is being used I might add.... the about us portion of the site willl be the same as the home page, that is why it is not finished.
We intend to help riders to have more of an idea where to start when they are looking for gear, whether they are new to the sport or have ridden for years, anyone can use it.
Whether you do anything with the results is up to you, that is the great thing about choice.
I am based in New Zealand, why would you like to know our location? what purpose does it serve?
And in regards to the logos that we use on the site, please be my guest and waste your time in enquiring to those retailers. In fact I am asking you to, as you will waste quite a few minutes finding their email addresses and writing your email and then sending it off. I am sure you can see where I am going with this, the answer you will get will not surprise you.
One last point, the internet is a large place these days, and it has reduced international borders in regards to trading. So whether you buy a board from the US or AUS or where ever, I am sure you will buy your gear from the retailer you can get the best price from. If do not, well to be honest with you, you are the minority there!
Also we are about to launch a brokerage service for riders as well, if you know what gear you want we will find the cheapest price for you as well.
cheers,

I think it's a bit off to use this site for free advertising. You've just come here and posted four posts, three of which directly advertise the above site. You've not actually answered the OP's questions, and you've not explained what your connexion with the pimped site is.
If you want to advertise here, then perhaps you should consider paying for some advertising space. That would show good faith with the community here by supporting us. How about it - are you prepared to give as well as take?
If you're going to ignore questions about your motives, then it's hard for us to trust what you're saying. I think you need to come clean. Whilst we're waiting, let's take a look at this site...
(1) Your website ignores the fact that some people are novices, where as some have been riding since the sport began. The implication is that you think we should ride the same gear. That's simply wrong and will result in your site mailing people with bad advice.
(2) The site's hosted in the US but you paid to have the registrant's address suppressed. The "about" sections on the site are not filled in. You seem to be unwilling to divulge information about who you are. In those circumstances it's impossible for us to verify that you're legitimate.
(3) The UK market is quite specific. There's no sign that your site is aware of this: no options for dry or fridge use etc.
(4) Without you being open about your location (which you hide even on your profile), we can't be sure, but you appear to be a US site. Your retailer logo set appears to be American. You provide no advice or assistance on import duty, shipping, or currency issues.
(5) Do you have the permission to use those retailer logos on your site? Please confirm, as that'll save me having to ask them individually on your behalf.
All in all, you may well be legitimate, but so far you've failed to demonstrate that.
------
Oh yeah, on the OP, it's just rather brave to buy snowboard equipment if you've not actually ridden it. It's a bit like buying a car you've not driven, or marrying someone you never slept with. |

Hey mate,
Well the gear you have decided to get is fine, nothing wrong with it, gear is such a relative thing at the end of the day.
What someone says here , is different over there.
So don't worry about it.
I did three seasons at perisher, lived in Jindabyne. Umm in regards to working as an instructor. Anyone can apply to be one and go through the course, and then you get offered a job. It takes a week and anyone can give it a go. dont need to be qualified.
Unsure whether you have missed the date for the course - www.perisherblue.com.au take a look at the site and see what you can find.
There are plenty of jobs in jindabyne, thats the town where everyone lives. Rebel sport in jindabyne is a ski rental place I worked there for two seasons. They give you a season pass. Track down there phone number - ask for alan or les, they run the place.
Good luck |

if so are the retailers happy to ship to the UK?
how much does shipment cost?
