18-27 at the Sand Bar, who's going?


I hate to even admit this (because I'm a Slingshot dealer), but Matt and Bam have my respect for keeping their comments clean and positive.

Maybe if you guys left the office at the office and enjoyed the sport here ,
or just talk about your product and it's benefits

Business people who are successful never bad mouth (anyone)

I'm retired from 25 yrs.in a declining business with plenty of folks out the back door

Shoooot, I did leave the office and scored it nicely at Stevenson yesterday on the way home.

Bad mouthing??? Not from this corner... Thanks for the nice comments Pepi!

Hey all, finally got to ride the 07 9m Boxer last night. Still smiling this morning. Not gonna make comparisions, not gonna try and explain all the reasons for the big smile, just gonna recommend that you take a test spin from one of the reps over the next few weeks and get your own smile on.

Adios, Jon

You think we are not able to discern who is rippin it up and who is not ?
Take the high road
The market will tell who has the better design
I think the banter between kite ho's is very amusing ,
just on a business forum .
and if you can't say something nice???

let them make decisions for themselves

My empirical data is Me ,I retired at 45 and I tried to always find good things about my competion and as a result I think the whole industry gets a leg up
P.S. I ride Best for now and never bad mouthed them even when riding Naish and Slingshot And I thought all the bad mouthing of them was a pretty ugly specticle,
Didn't mean I didn't like what I was riding at the time

There is more to life than business ,,
Duuuude

IMO That’s a rather simplistic communication solution that falls on it's face quite often.

What’s your response when there no way to spin a situation into a positive yet something very clearly needs to be said to address the issue?

Blowhard, it'd impossible to get this guy to see the light and clam up. I suggest we invite him down and tar and feather him out in the break. Wink

Has anybody noticed that most of the top riders are still using "C" kites. I know Rueben and Hadlow won't ride with them.
