The kids there deserve to get sponsored though. Thats why salomon runs the contest, they want to find good young kids to sponsor. K2 tried to do the same with their pg13 contest.. didn't put in nearly as much effort and was not very successful in getting good talent

so wrong. matt wilcox is sponsored by atomic, smith, voleurz, and probably something else. i think that guy from quebec was sponsored by line or d structure. also, they dont all have salomon to help their chances, its because they won it when they won their stop. picking a person who isnt as good as another just because of their equipment is one of the stupidest things ive ever heard.
