Hey Slonger. Have you ridden the Triad bindings yet? Just wondering how they ride and how stiff are they?

As for the Relays, yep we will be stocking them. We can get hold of any product you need usually anyhow, as long as you ask early enough.

As for the Triads...nah not yet...wanna try the new EST system though, looks mad!

I guess it's all about the Banjamin$$$$

Earlier this year, in the BlueTom end of season sale, I bought a brand spank-me new 06/07 Burton T6 for about £338 - TSA are selling new 06/07 T6s @ £416, and used demo T6s for about £360.

With the strong pound and an open market, it'd be foolish not to.

How about supporting the U.K retailers? We do our best to bring you the products you want at a price thats good, blame the government for VAT and interest rates. It was a really rough year for retailers for the 06/07 season being so bad for snow, it hit people vey hard, some did not make it !! We need your support as customers, i know its sometimes cheaper elsewhere and i cant speak for other retailers but we try our best to bring value and qaulity. How many of these retailers outside the U.K bring you demo's, competitions, free servicing etc and provide for the U.K riders and U.K scene????

Also, who do you bring it too when things go wrong? If there were no dealers in the U.K what would happen to the whole U.K scene??

Its a very tough market and we are not looking for sympathy, just support when you can....

i've found that the more i use my local dealer's the more inclined they are to give you discounts and or free stuff, just for the loyalty aspect, but again i suppose it down to personnel tastes!

How about you all chill the feck out, I haven't bought anything yet! So please dont accuse me of not supporting UK retailers, as 99% of things I use are UK purchased. I was merely asking a price, jesus!!! Furious

I kind agree with the 'whole support uk retailers & uk scene' by buying in the uk.
Lets face it... you get back back what you put in.right?
You buy from uk retailers and push the uk scene the more comps, availability of product etc you might see.

But if its cheaper to buy somewhere else then you'd be foolish not to buy it cheaper.

I dont have a lot of money especially funding seasons. so if i can get cheap kit from uk, abroad or ebay then i'll buy it from the cheapest.

In an ideal world I would buy everything from uk retailers.

I imagine my local shop can only order-in so much stock, and then only the stuff they're sure they'll sell throughout the season.
As I was looking for a bargain board for next year, had my local shop had a 06/07 T6 in stock, then I might have bought it from them.
But they didn't, so they never lost out on a sale.

But as it's only the larger retail chains that buy in lots of stock (like TSA), and have such things as T6s left over at the end of the season to sell at a reduced price (and seeing as they make so much money the rest of the year!), I don't feel too bad by depriving them of a few quid by buying my T6 from BlueTom in Austria. (Like I did with my Burton Custom, and P1 Carbon bindings the year before.)

At the beginniing of the 06/07 season I did buy a new board (a Ride DH), at full price. Locally.
Not everyone looks to buy new kit at the beginning of the season, and only a few shops will have the kit people want, when they want to buy it. I called maybe a dozen UK shops to try to find my P1 bindings - not one had any (despite what their websites might have said...)

O.K, thanks bartsimpsonhead, Was just interested in feedback......

P.S with access to things like the Burton B I N and having a good relationship with suppliers we can get in what we have not ordered as part of regular stock. If they make it we can get It...

To be honest I don't think I'd buy from anywhere where I can't chat to someone and have a feel of the boards before. It's a hell of a lot of money to send off to someone not knowing whether it's gonna get dinged in the post or not, or knowing what it feels like!

And as said before, the more you go in, the friendlier everyone is and the more they're gonna give you in terms or advice, help and possibly discounts!
