Phil Soven is now riding for CTRL.

From the tone of the article it sounds like he might have a hand in ownership or something but that's not confirmed yet. Crazy, he's been with LF forever.

Woah is right!! After putting up the 2013 soven bindings last night I am a little shocked to see this. I remember Phil being on the lf team for so long I would have never expected something like this. I would have expected some contract issues but not him leaving. I can only see good things for CNTL on this. More tour exposure. More world wide exposure if they continue the MTV show. More mag and web exposure. I will be calling my CNTL rep thus week to get some info on this.

Blew my mind this morning when I got up and saw it on facebook. It's kind of awesome to seeing any rider-owned companies pop up, especially one that now has such a huge force in the industry behind it.

I heard Soven can be a little hard to work with from a sponsor or two....but for him to be with them so long I would think that LF would have been interested in doing something. Shaggy....you know something I don't know? Smile

Being sponsored isnt just about riding abilities. Look at Tiger woods who lost sponsorships from stuff that happened off the field. Obviously were talking about a different scale here but in comparison they are two of the best players in the game.
