I thought I saw chas wearing some DC gear. Anyways, again I've never riden a DC board but like their outerwear. If they remodel DC Snow it could be interesting. illocon on "DC Snow Program Cancelled?" http://easyloungin.com/forum/topic.php?id=9156&page=4#post-427825 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 13:01:35 +0000 illocon 427825@http://easyloungin.com/forum/ Aye, TK Maxx is perfect for picking up baselayers and plain keks and jackets and even a few tasty midlayers. Have to be quick though as word gets around that a shop has loads in stock and it gets descended on by people who wouldn't normally go in one (including me).

They buy stuff in bulk from other retailers. The stuff you find there is usually at least a season out, possibly even a second. Definitely a score when you can find something you like but these stores don't "carry" a line like Porters or other traditional retailers do Joka17Wild on "DC Snow Program Cancelled?" http://easyloungin.com/forum/topic.php?id=9156&page=4#post-427772 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 10:12:42 +0000 Joka17Wild 427772@http://easyloungin.com/forum/ yeah usually the stuff in tj maxx around me is burton and ag. i've seen one pair of holdens that i regret not buying last year.

They are now beholden to stockholders and if they fail to meet their projected goals they'll be deemed a failure, even if they're selling product and turning a profit. Remember, Quik wanted DC to become the #2 snow line.....in like 5 years and I heard that at least 6 years ago.

I'm not about to start calling people out by name as there's just no need. Anyone who follows Canadian snowboarding, and has in the past likely can put together on their own who I might be speaking about. It's not to say those guys haven't done anything in the past few years. Just that they may have a hard road ahead of them now, if DC does fall apart based on what other guys are doing video part, and print media wise in comparison.

It seems like pretty much all the Canadian team riders were kind of coasting along, not pushing nearly as hard as they had in the past with the exception of Cory Gallon. It seems like quite a few people viewed getting on DC as "making it" and kind of fell into a groove of being overly comfortable. Just my thoughts and I won't name names at all. Anyone in Canada who watches Canadian snowboard videos and has for the last 5 years can probably figure out on their own who I'm talking about. Half the Canadian guys were putting out way better parts 3-4 years ago, and it's not an issue with age or injuries from what I can tell.
