so from the words of a getboards rep. getboards is stepping up their website layout, customer service, inventory and adding in a couple other cool perks. getboards is planning on having all of their 09/10 stock up by november 1st and they still ahve the best prices on the net....we all know about how unlegit and slow getboards used to be, and because of that bad rep a lot of people are hesitant now to purchase stuff from them. but i must say they really impressed me with their plans for this upcoming season which include video/photo contests, give aways, coupons. so check getboards out more frequently and you will see what i be talkin bout.

- much respek

I heard they are under new management now.  It would be nice to know that we have 3 100% legit shops  here in CA.  They have such Killer deals at GB though, I can't wait to see what they do for this season.

Even if this is true, I'd rather support local shops, then stores like evo and BC. I've just heard too many bad things about getboards

Word.  I try my hardest to support my local shop too.  Only issue is they don't carry brands I'm interested in.  The only outerwear brands they carry are Spyder, Obermeyer, and Armada.  They canceled Orage, DNA, and Oakley.  They only carry Armada and K2 twins, but K2 is the only brand that really interests me.  I already have enough crowbars, I took some Hellbents off of their hands.  I try to.  I think Get Boards will improve though, unfortunately they have a bad rep as it is.  I would love to start an online store a few years down the road and dedicate it to freeskiing.  A lot like JIBIJ.

I'm still not buying from them either way. I've heard they've been under new management a few times and every time I've ordered I've had multiple problems. I will either support my local shop or buy at Backcountry.

Backcountry and Evo have the best customer service in the industry.  No BS down at BC and they have a great return policy.  The live chat doesn't hurt either.

is it just me or is November 1st a little late for getting your '10 gear in?  Ski shops have alot of their '10 gear now.  November is way too late.

The only thing I don't like about evo is that they use fedex which is rediculously expensive. I bought a wire a some button things for my full tilts that cost $15 but $10 to ship. 2/3 the price of something to ship it is a lot

Yeah, I usually only buy stuff from any online store when the purchase is over $50 so I get the free shipping option.
