Bob's IRL Company Now LIVE!

[citizen1080]

Someone closed my other thread...so here we are...

After years of all the stuff that goes along with a Start-Up...my company Ballistic Boardwear is now live!

If you snowboard, you need our product the Bomb Bag! If you don't snowboard, you know someone who does! Help a fellow EQ nerd achieve his RMT dreams.

We also have Branded hoodies and t-shirts if you just want to support the company.

Big thank you to all the EQ'ers I have polled over the years with different company related questions...and thanks to A-Team (or whats left) for putting up with the discussions!

The website is www.BallisticBoardwear.com

Our Facebook is https://www.facebook.com/ballisticboardwear

If you are one of the many hundreds who enjoyed my EC give away events over the years this is your chance to give back!

Like it! Share it! Help get the word out!

Sweet clickbait title bro

It's about time the tinfoil worked out in my favor

[Visual]

I been meaning to find a place to store my fishing gear while I boardslide across a picnic table

[Erasong]

Bob you been cool AF over the years. I'll drop a share NP!

[Zade]

nicely done bob. If Im in the north next winter, I'll b picking one up.

[Barkingturtle]

Good luck, Bob!

Have some buddies who board every chance they get. Will share.

[Grimluck]

but seriously though, good luck. I live in the south and have no use for boarding gear. :)

Beanies and baseball caps are in the works! Different process as they will be embroidered vs heat transfer. My favorite hoodies are the zippered ones too, they just didn't work with our current logo art very well so they will happen sooner or later too.

Glad you like the branding, I am real happy with how it turned out. Our hoodies and shirts look pretty bad ass imo.

@Argh Thanks sir! Been a pain in the ass, but got it pretty well lined out.

Just did my last ride for the season on Sunday. Wasn't as much of slush-fest as I thought it would be and got some good runs in. Closing day festivities were a blast as always as well. Will consider picking one of these up to try out but won't be using it for a few months. Goodbye to the 2014-2015 slope season. You were good to us. Closing day pic for the road.

Hmm I didnt edit it - not sure what it was before? Maybe someone else did though.

It said RMT instead of IRL. Was just a witty attention grabber.

[Thulack]

Grats Bob. Looks good.

[Zade]

I will likely be buying two. One for my board, one for my kayak

[Zade]

gunna have to mod the mounting bracket, but it would fit perfectly behind the seat mounted to the aft bulkhead wall

Was just about to ask you that because it's not a bad idea. I was sitting here thinking of where to mount it. If you do it, post up a picture.

Nice man, your season lasted a hell of a lot longer than ours this year...we usually can run till mid April, this year we were toast by the beginning of March. Where abouts do you ride? Would love to get some feedback on it after you ride it -TK-, I think you will really like it, I use mine every day i ride, and not just for marketing...its perfect place for my gopro shit and a flask/keys/wallet. I also keep extra glove liners in there cause I rarely wear my gloves while teaching kids on the hill...get too hot running all over the place after the little shits.

@Sikorsky - yea was just RMT instead of IRL...I didn't think it was breaking any rules but no biggy =D

@Thulack - Thanks sir!

@Zade - Awesome to hear sir! Buy 2 and I will toss in a t shirt for ya =D And what style kayak would you be modding it for? If its a common kayak and you come up with a legit mod i could prolly have a kayak specific bracket made up.

My buddy wants to know what the internal dimension are of this thing? He wants to know how much it can hold. (A suggestion for your website perhaps since he couldnt find details there)

But then again, he also says you should give him one for free and he'll spread the word for you :) (he makes 60+ trips a season to Utah's biggest resort and interacts with many people on the slopes)

I'd buy one but i dont board and already enjoy skiing, so dont feel like face planting a lot to learn boarding =P

One day I hope to start a business, but the one I have in mind costs about 1 mill to get off the ground + expensive insurance / operating expenses on top of that :(

Bag dimensions are 8.5" x 4.5" x 6.5" And yes...that would be handy info to have on the site...I will update that now.

You could also tell him to watch the install video..at about the 8 minute mark i start shoving a bunch of stuff into it, give you a decent idea of what all it can hold.

As for a free one...I have 2 semi pro riders in the Utah area who already are on the freebee list...but who knows....have him shoot me a email through the website contact form and I'll talk to him.

As for your business idea...getting it off the ground is a huuuuge pain lol. But if it is a good enough idea...you can find investors for it. Making startup cost a moot point providing you are willing to trade equity in your company for startup funds.

There are more angel investors than ever before due to shows like Dragon's Den and Shark tank. So if you think the idea has merit...make it happen man. Feel free to bounce any ideas or questions off me, i'm but no means an expert but i've jumped through many of the hoops you will have to.

As for you being a dirty no good skier...you can still buy clothing! =p

[Ahldagor]

Nicely done. Luck in the sales.

Grats Bob. Looks good.

Thanks sir! Appreciate the support. Same to you Clark!

Lots of traffic to the site from P99, thanks for checking us out everyone (google analytics is awesome).

Got a good first round of orders, so if you think you might want one, pull the trigger =)

Unfortunately Jeremy is all but MIA these days with some personal issues. Otherwise I wouldn't be outsourcing this work like the Facebook post I made. I will let him know thought next time I can get a hold of him.
