Rome

Rome:

I felt the need to stop and take a minute to say thanks.  I had made assumptions about what to expect.  Typically you go to a board demo and the people setting you up are sometimes helpful and cool, but a lot of times they seem annoyed to have to deal with people.

I went to Stowe for Bettypalooza with the intent on riding one of their boards if they had something I wanted to ride. 

Flat out, Rome stepped up more than I would have ever expected.  I know Jenn and Sierra spent some time making arrangements and making sure that we had a good time.  For a company to come out with a lot of their staff and ride with us, as well as let us demo a lot of their 2011 boards and bindings (even some boots) was just impressive.  Getting us some beer, Redbull, food, and just overall being some of the most laidback and cool people I have met in the industry.  I never would have expected this from them.  I should

Thanks guys, I know you changed my perspective on Rome.  I will be looking to ride one of your boards next year.   If you are ever in my area, let me know.  I would like to return the favor and hospitality.

With Burton being such tools and moving out of Sierra, it sounds like Rome would be a great replacement. They still understand its about the RIDERS not the brands! Good for them to keep snowboarding like it should be, not skiing
