A little teaser of sorts. A video from the philippines in January. Some boat shredding, Some heli filming, rails and cable. Check it out. It might make you wanna ride though.

I don't like how they claim to be the most talented team in the industry. That said, the video looks sick, I like where this company is going, and I will definitely consider them when it's time to buy my next board.

Saw this on the Slingshot site. It makes me want to go to CWC real bad.

Awesome. Really liked seeing Jeff McKee ride. A lot of his riding in this vid reminded me of Nelson.

I think the direct quote is, "now we're traveling the world with some of the most talented riders in the sport.." I don't think that's a claim to the "most talented." That said, SS riders have some of my favorite riding styles period.

At 3:29 on this vid he says "There's more talent on this team than anywhere else in the industry." I didn't really take this bad I just assumed it meant they had a bigger team since they do kite AND wakeboarding.

Probably not the best thing to say but I'm not too bent out of shape about it.

All I can say is I love their boards more than anything on the market and I hope everyone starts doing flex. It's definitely superior IMO and I've tried my share of boards.

I've never ridden a flex board and I'm really curious about them. I'm definitely gonna demo one when it comes time to buy a new board. Also, Keith Lyman is my favorite rider, so his presence at Slingshot alone makes me pretty stoked on them as a brand.

I'm with Wakeboarder3780 - the "team" probably includes not only the riders but the folks behind the scens as well - I would certainly recommend to anyone that they try the SS flex boards- I have one and there a blast to ride
