Does anyone have insight into which companies are doing well vs. the ones struggling?
Things have been quiet lately or else I'm missing the news. Racing gear seems to be the only buzz at the moment....
why? what did you hear?
does slingshot close its shop at last?
it looks like some time ago shareholders of the large brands ordered to stop wasting money on r-n-d, only graphic design changes, tropical presentation videos and more advertizing allowed. why? because there are lot of yuppies with no understanding of the unjustified high prices concept in big countries willing to pay any price kite brand asks.
otherwise how do you explain same stupid childish blunders with the quality repeating every year happening to big established brands? for these prices kites should come with the jet engines attached to the leading edge, not with the pigtail rubbing holes in the leading edge kind of problems!
so, looks pretty stagnant to me
