Everyone here is so butthurt and down voting the posts that say they're glad he's off of apo and moved on to faction which is also bigger and better things.
Lets be honest... Who here has bought their skis? Almost no one.
Why haven't you bought their skis?
Because they're boring traditional camber skis with mediocre graphics.
So don't lie to yourself and say that you love apo when in reality you don't and you're like every other person that buys line skis, armada, 4frnt, on3p, faction, etc.
I wonder what the pros think when they see users speaking in behalf of them on their sponsorship deals?!? Not accusing this thread but just in general.
KeithyDNew info: faction is stopping their US operations so all the riders are off when their contracts expire except the euros
Apo right? What will happen to Scrappy then, he's US and Dutch? Apo skis aren't as nice as their boards, maybe they're repealing their freeski side as they barely have a team anyway.
I'm sorry but that's bullshit, they're not stopping their north American team, Sammy basically built their ski line from the ground up.
I also have a friend who is in the middle of negotiating a sponsorship with APO, so they're obviously not just cutting off their entire north American operation because they lost ONE rider. Because scrappy, sammy, bmos, hudson, and everyone else don't mean anything...

If theyre not selling any product in a region whats the point of sponsoring those people? Hmm?
There is no good reason because its a waste of money. They are losing more than what theyre making because the have to give skis to their riders.
And yeah im sure your friend is in the middle of negotiating a sponsorship.
Here's what happened with Coreupt: they had a slew of riders at the time like Gus Kenworthy, Colby West, TJ Schiller, Candide Thovex, etc.; then they blew up. They signed people like Dale Talkington, and eventually Kevin Rolland and JF Houle, but they weren't selling a lot of skis. They then filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2012, went out of business for a year, and they came back last winter apparently.
RockNRollNghtClbi hope faction doesnt pull a coreupt
No, they have millions invested, on top of the guys who own them are pretty loaded, all CEOs or high up in banks and big firms like Facebook. The real workers there are the Team managers and staff, good people.
He didn't go to faction. He was my coach and he said that apo hadn't talked to him in awhile and they were having some problems and he was just trying them out.

But I imagine that if he goes somewhere it will most likely be faction
