1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,240 All right, well, let's get started then. 2 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,600 Matt, what Tell us a little bit about Hometown Board Shop? 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,640 So this shop was something that she's kind of thought about for 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,640 several years now, something she's been wanting to do. 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,720 You know, we, we lived in Minnesota for a couple years and 6 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,840 she was actually in talks of buying the shop she was working 7 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,760 at with some friends that also worked at the shop. 8 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,280 Then we moved back here, she worked for Gregos a little bit, 9 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,760 but she still always had this itch to kind of start her own 10 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,920 shop and, and work for herself. And then she ended up backing 11 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,400 Inside Edge here where she worked before we moved to 12 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,880 Minnesota. And then really started thinking 13 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,360 about, you know, getting snowboards back in the shop and 14 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,840 wanting to kind of start up the whole snowboard community that 15 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,400 we had growing up, growing up, you know, as instructors and, 16 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,360 and everything. We had awesome just community of 17 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,200 snowboarders and freeze skiers, a lot of great mentors, a lot of 18 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,320 people to learn from and we had a shop to go to. 19 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,520 Now there's not really a shop to go to the closest shop for 20 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,080 snowboarding. Like it's a it's a snowboard 21 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:11,080 specific shop. Like is at Killington dark side, 22 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,320 right, dark side snowboards is is the is the only other like 23 00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:16,800 snowboard specific shop, like actual board shop. 24 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,240 I mean, you can get snowboards at various places, but there's 25 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,920 no like board shop feel. And she kind of wants to bring 26 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,840 that back. Yeah, yeah. 27 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:25,880 And so you, you kind of touched on it. 28 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,320 So you guys are located inside the inside edge? 29 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,480 Yeah. So they, they, they allowed us 30 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:38,840 to open up within their shop so that that way she can still sell 31 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,000 their product for them while also kind of getting a foot in 32 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,720 the door to start our snowboard business. 33 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,400 Yeah. And and the idea, I would assume 34 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,880 at some point in time would be for you to outgrow the space and 35 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,200 move into your own space. Or yeah, we've got a couple 36 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,680 ideas of what we want to do with it and I can let her explain 37 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,560 more about that, what she she has planned for that. 38 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,400 But right now we're just running 2 registers in one shop. 39 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,480 OK. So I need the snowboard gear, 40 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,160 the snowboard wax, the the snowboard merch and the hometown 41 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,440 merch is is a hometown board shop. 42 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,120 And then the Alpine, the Nordic stuff like that is still inside 43 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,480 Edge as it was before the the service side of things, tuning 44 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,480 all that. That is also on the inside edge 45 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,200 side still as well. OK, OK. 46 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,360 Bikes. Obviously bikes are also inside 47 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,720 Edge as well. Yeah, well, that's when you were 48 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,440 talking about that. I didn't realize. 49 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,880 I, I mean, I think of Inside Edge and just for me from a as a 50 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,840 bike shop primarily. I know they sell a lot of 51 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,920 different things there, but I just because I, I brought my 52 00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:50,760 bike there, I've had them tune it, you know, that kind of 53 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,920 stuff. And do they sell skis and 54 00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:57,120 snowboards inside Edge desk? No. 55 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:03,280 So Inside Edge has always done skis and Alpine and Nordic and 56 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,760 there was a period of time when it was the place to go for 57 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,280 snowboards. It was a legit snowboard shop 58 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:13,000 when she was here years ago. And but the the snowboarders 59 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,160 that worked in the shop kind of all like moved on. 60 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,680 And so there really wasn't a snowboard base to work the 61 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,200 snowboard side of things in the shop. 62 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,760 Interesting, interesting. And also kind of cool too. 63 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,320 You know, when I was when I first heard about you guys 64 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,720 through, I believe it's through Amanda at the Chamber, 65 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,680 Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce. 66 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,480 Those guys are amazing. Oh, you know, so I was like 67 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,840 checking out your website and then realizing that you guys are 68 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,720 actually inside the inside edge and it's. 69 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,960 Weird to say yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 70 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,480 And well, and then, but real, I thought what was really cool was 71 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,400 it seems like the inside edge is kind of giving you a similar 72 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,200 start to how they got started because they started, if I if 73 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,400 what I read correctly, if I understood it correctly, is they 74 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,760 originally started inside of another business at West 75 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,040 Mountain. And and so they kind of got 76 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,720 their start because of someone helping them, you know, giving 77 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,320 them a leg up, so to speak. And now they're kind of paying 78 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,160 it forward to you guys. I thought that was a really 79 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:22,600 cool, really cool thing. So, So what are you guys? 80 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,280 So I think you guys, you know, I checked out your website a 81 00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:28,400 little bit and what are the kinds of things that Hometown 82 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,640 Board shop is doing currently? So you're selling gear, Are you 83 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,200 selling snowboards as well? Or the snowboard sails through 84 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,200 inside out? Snowboards are ours, so any 85 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,000 snowboards that are going, they're going through our shops. 86 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,240 So there are some words. We got Nitro and public in, so 87 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,320 we got an old school brand, new school brand together, which is 88 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,000 pretty cool. That was kind of like a focus of 89 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,080 ours. Nitro's been around forever. 90 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,240 They're a huge part of the snowboard community, family 91 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:58,240 owned type of organization and public is new out of Minnesota. 92 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,040 They're pretty young brand, but you know, Minnesota is really 93 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,320 known for park riding, St. riding, stuff like that. 94 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,440 So you're going to get some bomb proof boards out of Minnesota 95 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,680 because they have to be if you're riding in the street and 96 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,360 park all the time. So, so us being, you know, 97 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,800 living in Minnesota for a couple of years and then coming back, 98 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,080 we thought it was also really cool to kind of bring that with 99 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,760 us. Yeah, well, help me understand, 100 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,720 because to be fair, man, I I'm completely ignorant of the the 101 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,280 park riding and St. riding when it comes to snowboarding. 102 00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:31,520 I didn't know. I didn't even know that was a 103 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,680 thing. Like to me it's, you know, you 104 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,320 go to a mountains, go like go to West Mountain or you're going to 105 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,760 Gore or going to White Face or whatever and you're on a 106 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,680 mountain, you're zooming downhill. 107 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,560 What is like street riding and park riding when it comes to 108 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,680 snowboarding? So park riding is riding in the 109 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,880 park at the mountain so mountains which. 110 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,920 Look at that, right? But street is actually, it's a 111 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,440 big thing in Minnesota and you see some, we used to coach some 112 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,480 people in Vermont that are do like street videos and stuff. 113 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,440 And that's like finding urban locations with snow and bring 114 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,920 the rails and stuff out, kind of like skateboarding, finding a 115 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,360 spot to go film and get some cool pictures. 116 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,360 Red Bull does a competition with with that they go and they 117 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,280 actually do it. They did it in Duluth one year 118 00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:19,400 where we were living, but they do it a lot in Minnesota, but 119 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,240 they also do it or else they really do it. 120 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:28,320 But I know they do it a few other places and it's called, I 121 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,240 can't remember the name of the event now, but they they I got 122 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:36,560 to look it up. It's the Red Bull. 123 00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:40,280 I don't know why I'm. Blanking. 124 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,280 It's OK, I do it all the time man. 125 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,040 Heavy metal, that's what it is. Red Bull Heavy metal event and 126 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,840 like Zeb Powell does it and stuff like that. 127 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,960 Zeb Powell is a big name. He's he's awesome, great. 128 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,720 He's an awesome guy too. He's actually out of southern 129 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,600 Vermont. But Zeb Powell does the heavy 130 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:07,720 metal events, and they literally set up film and find a spot out 131 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,440 in a city or a park and have a competition. 132 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,760 And so that would be, yeah. So check it out. 133 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:17,960 Red Bull Heavy Metal is pretty cool. 134 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,760 Yeah, I'm going to have to Google that up and see, see how 135 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,800 they do that. Man, it's just because you said 136 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,320 that I I didn't make the connection. 137 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,280 Obviously snowboard park at a mountain. 138 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,080 When you said park, I thought you meant like, you know, like 139 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,880 city parks, like people are going to City Park. 140 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,720 I'm like, why are they like? Going well, I mean, going down 141 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,680 the that would be like the urban stuff, right? 142 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,840 The street, yeah. Yeah, yeah. 143 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,080 That's funny. I, you know, I know we, we 144 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,720 talked a little bit before, before we really got started 145 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,480 about some of the technology changes. 146 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,320 You were talking about some of the new step insurance bindings 147 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,560 and things like that. And I was sharing like, you 148 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,480 know, I've, I've been out of the, the snowboard game here for 149 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,960 like 20 years. I since I was last on a 150 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,720 mountain. And you were talking about old 151 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,280 brands and new brands. And is there, has the technology 152 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,640 changed a lot like what's new in the in the OR newer in the 153 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,960 snowboarding technology sector? So the step ONS are definitely a 154 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,080 newer technology. It was a way to try to improve 155 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,400 the idea of the old step ONS, trying to make it more stable 156 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,960 and more just more reliable. So far, from everything I've 157 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,560 heard about them, they've been, they've been doing really well. 158 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,600 They've been becoming really popular, really quick, easy in 159 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:28,960 and outs when you need to get in and out. 160 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,520 So that's one of the big ones. Recently you got different types 161 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,120 of cambers that people are playing around with. 162 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,200 So they got the traditional camber where you're bored, does 163 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,640 this underneath your feet. Some people like to go flat 164 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,480 decks. Now you see hybrid cambers where 165 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,600 sometimes it's traditional than an early rise, or sometimes you 166 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,200 see reverse camber between your feet and then traditional camber 167 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,640 on your feet. And all these things play 168 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,920 different roles and different scenarios on the mountain. 169 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,280 So like personally, I ride a flat deck when I'm in the park 170 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,640 'cause I like flat deck on rails and boxes. 171 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,520 But when I'm riding the mountain, I ride a traditional 172 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,840 camber with that snap, that power, that stability. 173 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,000 So it depends on your style of riding. 174 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,800 And that's one thing that we that we're, we take pride in is 175 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,560 not just trying to sell you on a board, but to what do you like 176 00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:15,200 to do? And we're going to pair you up 177 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,280 with your style more than what we just think is a good board to 178 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,320 ride on.

So it was stiffer in the tail, 186 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,760 softer in the nose. And then they're playing around 187 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,440 with the side cuts, longer side cuts going farther up the nose 188 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,800 make the board feel like it rides fast longer. 189 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,320 And then there was a big popular one that they were playing 190 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,440 around with called Magna traction Lib Tech new. 191 00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:01,880 We're doing that where it kind of kind of made a WAVY edge, 192 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,840 kind of like a straight blade was great for, you know, cutting 193 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,400 into the ice a little bit more of the firm snow. 194 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,440 So there's a lot of different things that a lot of companies 195 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,720 are playing around with. And a lot of the ones that stuck 196 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,120 are like the early rise campers.

Like, yeah. 206 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,520 Asking about the step ONS right now out there. 207 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,720 So she'll she'll be in here soon. 208 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:49,160 But yeah, she's she's, she's working with somebody, educating 209 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,560 them, teaching them and and given that individual service 210 00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:54,040 that she wants to do so with her brand. 211 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,800 Yeah, Yeah, that's I was reading, I think I was reading 212 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,320 on the website where you guys really you're all about being 213 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,840 able to have that conversation kind of the a throwback to your 214 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,880 earlier days with the the board shop kind of feel and being able 215 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,720 to go in and whether you're buying something or not, at 216 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,760 least really be able to talk to people about what's new and 217 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,880 what's going on. Can you kind of expand on that a 218 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,320 little bit? Well, yeah. 219 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,280 So one of the things we do eventually want to do are like 220 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,240 tuning clinics, so teach people how to take care of their 221 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,600 equipment a little bit better. So as we get further down the 222 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,000 line, that's something we want to focus on. 223 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,920 We also want to starting this winter, what we're going to do 224 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,080 is we have Indy passes. So we go to different places all 225 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,080 the time in the winter. And one of the things that we're 226 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,480 going to do is I think we're planning on Thursday nights 227 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,480 before the so for the weekend we'll meet Thursday nights. 228 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,160 Anybody that wants to come in Thursday night and talk, we can 229 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,320 talk shop, but we can also talk about where we're going this 230 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,200 weekend and see, you know, hey, we're going to magic this 231 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,960 weekend. Who wants to go? 232 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,520 We're going to Gore this weekend, who wants to go and you 233 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,640 know, kind of get a riding community back together just by 234 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,040 starting with that. And that's going to be the 235 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,400 beginning. And then we have more plans 236 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,320 beyond that. We want to hold, help hold local 237 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,840 rail jams, for example, have local competitions. 238 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,720 Again, we were coaches with USASA for a really long time. 239 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,680 And USASA is a national organization for grassroots 240 00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:22,400 snowboard and free ski competitions. 241 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,800 And so we have the Adirondack series here, you got the 242 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,000 Southern Vermont Series, Northern Vermont Series, and 243 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,960 it's been great. You know, a lot of kids can 244 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,120 progress, they learn, they grow, they learn. 245 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,640 How about competition works? But the one piece that's been 246 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,680 missing lately is that local competition. 247 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,080 We don't need to be a part of any organization. 248 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,120 Anybody can jump in the competition and local shops will 249 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:48,440 give prizes out, you know, so we kind of want to bring that back. 250 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:54,280 Years ago when Felicia works at the shop here, this shop put on 251 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,760 what we call the what they called the Hometown Hero Rail 252 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,800 Jam at West Mountain, and they did it for several years. 253 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,040 So we want to kind of bring that back, bring home, bring back 254 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,720 something like that Hometown Hero Rail Jam. 255 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,480 You. Know so these are some ideas 256 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,440 that we're we're, you know, throwing around a little bit and 257 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,720 but it's all going to start with building that community, 258 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,120 allowing just having people come hang out, talk about where we're 259 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,680 going for the weekend and go from there and see how it 260 00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:26,800 evolves. It's interesting that you bring 261 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,720 up community and, and trying to, you know, rebuild one. 262 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,160 It seems to be a conversation that we've had a lot recently on 263 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,920 the show with different sectors, like different, different 264 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,560 industries, different walks of life, where people are all kind 265 00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:45,560 of looking to create communities or, or in this case, like 266 00:13:45,560 --> 00:13:47,480 rebuild a community that you formerly had. 267 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,720 And it's just, it's an interesting thing. 268 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,080 Like you would think that in today's day and age that we're 269 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,680 so connected with everyone all the time that it's not something 270 00:13:56,680 --> 00:14:00,280 it's already there, right? Do you have any thoughts on 271 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,520 that? Like a, a why? 272 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,960 Like you know, from from your standpoint, like with the 273 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,480 snowboard community, obviously there's tons of people around 274 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,360 that snowboard and, and why is it that there is not currently a 275 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,400 real tightly knit community for people like that? 276 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,680 Well, well, for us, so like our generation, our group of 277 00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:21,960 snowboarders and free skiers, you know, a lot of it's aging to 278 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,120 the point where you like you were saying earlier having kids, 279 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:24,800 right? You kind of. 280 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,560 So a lot of the people that were a part of that tight knit 281 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:32,040 community kind of, you know, they went off, had kids and they 282 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,640 have these other responsibilities to worry about 283 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,440 now. But I feel like we're at a point 284 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,640 now where we can kind of bring that back together again. 285 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,920 And also we noticed that there is a little bit of a trend of 286 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:49,040 with free skiing kind of really taking a big leap and and 287 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,200 jumping and growing, a lot of the people that are ski families 288 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,760 are putting their kids on skis and going into the free ski 289 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:57,920 side. And so the snowboard side, 290 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,000 because free skiers are now a big part of the park. 291 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:06,040 But I feel like we're going to see that trend flip again with 292 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,840 all the people that were snowboarding with us are now 293 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,400 going to get their kids into snowboarding. 294 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,640 So you can kind of I, I, we kind of expect there to be in on our 295 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,320 mindset, a kind of ebb and flow with that type of alternating 296 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,400 kind of dynamic. And the interesting thing is the 297 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,200 Adirondacks are really interesting because we when we 298 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,120 were out in Minnesota, the snowboard community was huge. 299 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:33,880 Southern Vermont for a long time for USASA was the largest, most 300 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:39,040 competitive snowboard series in USASA in the country. 301 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,280 Now it's out in Colorado, but so that just shows how big 302 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,120 snowboarding really is. But it kind of dwindled in the 303 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,600 Adirondacks for some reason compared to other places. 304 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,280 And so we think a lot of that has to do with there's not a 305 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,200 spot for that community like you've got, if you don't have a 306 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,200 board shop for people to gather together and and talk about 307 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,920 their ventures and what they're going to do and kind of you. 308 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,600 Know. Mentor SO. 309 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,120 Interesting. I help me understand when you 310 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,280 were talking about free skiing and, and maybe just because I've 311 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:15,840 been out of the being able to do anything fun for so long, you're 312 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,800 talking about free skiing and snowboarders and like them, like 313 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,040 help me out. What is free skiing? 314 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,320 When you say that, what do you mean? 315 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,600 So free skiing is, you know, twin tip skis, center mounted, 316 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,400 they're free skiing is basically a lot of park focus. 317 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,720 OK. Rails on skis. 318 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:35,600 Yep. Got it. 319 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,560 The reason why, So there's I think the main reason why we 320 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,400 kind of use free skiing versus freestyle cause a lot of times 321 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,520 people think of freestyle skiing is freestyle moguls. 322 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,000 So just to kind of differentiate for you like the freestyle 323 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,800 moguls versus the park. Got it. 324 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,560 OK. So you know, typically we you 325 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,800 know, so in in competitions you see the term free ski a lot. 326 00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:58,880 Got it. OK. 327 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,680 OK. And they're and they're not 328 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,600 using the same park that the snowboarders are using. 329 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:03,800 They are. Oh, they are. 330 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:04,200 OK. They are. 331 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,800 Yeah, Yeah. They're in the same park, Ryan. 332 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,480 The same the same features. Yeah. 333 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:12,520 OK, cool. All right. 334 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,560 I was like, you were saying that and I'm like, nod in my head. 335 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,000 I'm like, wait a minute. I don't think I know what that 336 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,160 actually means. But now that you describe it, I, 337 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,040 I I'm picking up what you're throwing down. 338 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,880 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 339 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,760 So that's another thing too. That's a that's a terminology 340 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:28,040 and and we've actually tossed around that, that concept. 341 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,880 Some people don't, I don't know what the term, they never, never 342 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,440 necessarily heard the term free ski unless they were in the 343 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,280 industry or in the competitions. Yeah. 344 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,000 Interesting. Yeah. 345 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,360 Is that Felicia coming in or? No, that was her mom, her mom. 346 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,520 So a lot of people come in and they ask for Felicia or mom. 347 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:54,920 Got it. OK, they don't. 348 00:17:54,960 --> 00:18:00,720 Ask for Terry, ask for mom. So, so you guys are just kind of 349 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,960 getting off the ground you've been how long you've been open? 350 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,680 November 1st, we officially claimed to be open, Yeah, but 351 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,760 we've had our online stuff up for a while, just like some 352 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,640 merch. Yeah, but we decided Halloween 353 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,920 weekend was a good weekend to kind of get the stuff up in the 354 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,400 shop and everything. All the all the snowboards and 355 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,480 all the binding stuff started rolling in at that point. 356 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,160 So we're like, OK, let's, let's roll this now. 357 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,360 Yeah, yeah. And well, I mean, perfect 358 00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:27,320 timing, right? Because you're going to be 359 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,840 rolling into the busy season as we talked about earlier, it's 360 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,040 there's snow on the ground. So everybody's going to be 361 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,840 thinking about seeing snowboarding and and Christmas 362 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,440 right around the corner too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 363 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,640 You know, this today's, today's a perfect day to be having this 364 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,160 conversation. I think just because snow is 365 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,440 flying and staying on the ground, we're going to have a 366 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,960 few inches here and people are going to start going crazy for 367 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,160 the winter and get in the itch. Yeah, so hits the ground. 368 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,320 It's like, all right, what am I doing with it? 369 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,480 Yeah. Hopefully having fun with. 370 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,960 It Yeah. I, you know, I'm curious too, 371 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,600 you'd kind of mentioned or maybe I was drawing a conclusion from 372 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,120 what you're saying, but it, do you think that there's, there's 373 00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:10,320 more skiers in our geographic area than our step? 374 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,360 Quarters. Yeah, there is and there always 375 00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:15,120 has been. I mean 60 has been around 376 00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:18,120 forever, you know, so you got generations worth of people that 377 00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:22,000 are skiers. It's it's, it's definitely a 378 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:28,000 bigger group, but as a snowboard shop, we also take in the free 379 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,640 ski community. You know, they fit right in with 380 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,360 us where we ride side by side, but also the snowboarders. 381 00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:37,640 We're also, we're not just in the park, you know, we're out on 382 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,000 the mountain, on the mountain in the trees and the bumps on the 383 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:41,760 and steeps. Personally, I love being in the 384 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:46,400 trees and bumps on my board, you know, so just like skiing and 385 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:51,280 snowboard sides, you can have people that are prefer one style 386 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,040 versus the other. It's not all snowboarders are in 387 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,000 the park, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 388 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,840 I always preferred being in the trees myself. 389 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,680 Yeah. Oh hey, she made it. 390 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:06,920 Well, talk about by local 2 customers just came in for they 391 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:14,680 work at Fountain Square. And so I yeah, I mean, so 392 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,600 anyway, we got talking about community building and how they 393 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,320 want to do gears and beers, but the ski version of it here in 394 00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:26,240 Cradle Park. So they're, you know, we got 395 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:31,000 talking about that and you know, so buy local is, you know, we're 396 00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:32,400 absolutely, yeah. We love it. 397 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,560 We're all about the local. I mean, everything's local, 398 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,760 right? Like our trip, we think anyway. 399 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:44,160 But Friday boy, and you got the shop dog running around. 400 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,280 Yeah. Well, as I say, we have he's. 401 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,320 The 11 in training? Yeah, the one in training. 402 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,720 The one in training. Yeah, he went in training, 403 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,440 figured out how to get himself back into the shop, so I got to 404 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,600 keep him away from the power tools. 405 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,480 Nice. Yeah, probably a good plan. 406 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:00,840 Plan. He'll sneak into the shop and 407 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,080 he'll get into the back and then he'll go to the wrong door to 408 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,320 come back in and just sit there and wait. 409 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,120 Yeah, he's very good boy, but that's. 410 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:07,680 Good. At least he's patient missing. 411 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,920 So we are covering a whole bunch of stuff, Felicia and you know, 412 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,760 but they kind of dip back to some of it. 413 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,720 You know, Matt kind of gave us a rundown a little bit behind of 414 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,400 who you guys are and what you guys are doing. 415 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,560 But figure I'd put it back on you again too, to kind of give 416 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,960 us an idea about, you know, not just like what you guys do, but 417 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,480 what's behind it all. You know, I, I know you kind of 418 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,200 got a good story as far as moving away and, and being 419 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,920 pretty entrenched in the snowboarding community out out 420 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,280 West or westerly, I guess more western. 421 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:42,800 Midwest. Midwest. 422 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,240 I had some of the most fun ever snowboarding in Wisconsin. 423 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,560 And that sounds really weird, but there are rope parks out 424 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,120 there. Yeah, the Midwest is rad The. 425 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,560 Midwest, like I would love to take a group of people out to 426 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,760 the Midwest to go ride. Yeah, wow. 427 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,840 Like, yeah, all these ski shops go to like Switzerland and 428 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,200 whatnot and like, where do we go? 429 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,200 Minneapolis. Minneapolis. 430 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:07,080 Absolutely. So yeah, like my, I mean, I, I 431 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,040 have been a racer, I have been a skier, I've been a telly skier, 432 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,040 I've been a snowboarder, I've been an instructor. 433 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,880 Like any way that you can slide on snow, I've pretty much done 434 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,080 it. And to me it's, it's all just 435 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,440 sliding on snow. We're all doing it even in 436 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,960 Nordic, like the cross country skiers, like it's all sliding on 437 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,320 snow. So like just having all of it 438 00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:33,080 under one roof, supporting all of it exactly the same way. 439 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,840 Like it's, I don't know, they're like, there's no reason why any 440 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,920 like one group or one category should be, I don't wanna say 441 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,800 treated any different. But the like, you know, that the 442 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,560 whole skier versus snowboarder like that, like, no, that's all 443 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,520 nonsense. We're all, we're all having 444 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:51,960 beers together at the bar afterward. 445 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:58,880 Let's be real. So yeah, it's, you know, it, it 446 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,240 broke my heart a little bit when I came back and started working 447 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,160 here again and I was like, yo, where's all the snowboards? 448 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,960 Like, where'd they go? And it just happened to be 449 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:11,560 because the folks who were selling the snowboards, like, we 450 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,400 all just grew up and moved away and like, you know, no fault of 451 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,720 anybody's. But so they just didn't have it 452 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,560 to sell. And then that became part of a 453 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,640 bigger question of like, oh, well, sports page has 454 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:25,920 snowboards. That's great. 455 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,600 Oh, but fall lines closing and there's only one shop in 456 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,040 Saratoga. Like, oh, there's room for a 457 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,600 snowboard shop. Like let's do this that came 458 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,480 about is like, you know, that's the necessity of is the mother 459 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,280 of all invention, right? It's you know, so we saw a 460 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,960 niche, you know, because we were part of it. 461 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,440 And it's like there needs to be a cool snowboard shop, like a 462 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:58,360 cool, you know, park shop. And then that's I actually just 463 00:23:58,360 --> 00:23:59,640 said it to the customer I was working with. 464 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:06,160 I was, you know, late to this. The call was it's it was gonna 465 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,760 say I lost it. Park shop. 466 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,240 Oh, that yeah. I mean, it's like everyone's got 467 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,640 their their niche, their race shop, park shop. 468 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,720 Oh, now I can't think of the wording. 469 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,080 Anyway, it'll come back to me. It was really, it was. 470 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,840 It was, it was a good he's. Not. 471 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:23,760 Go. He's in a skateboardist. 472 00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:29,120 But anyway, yeah, it's all just, it's all sliding on snow. 473 00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:32,320 We're all doing it together. That's the the big, you know, 474 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,440 the big take away for it I guess. 475 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,960 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh man, I can't remember what I 476 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,520 said that was. Really good that's all right. 477 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,760 If, if it comes back to you, just jump in. 478 00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:48,360 So you guys are, you've got merch, obviously snowboarding 479 00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:51,400 merch, got some of your own and some other stuff as well that 480 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,320 and then you're selling snowboards. 481 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,680 But and I, you know, one of the big things I think for us to 482 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,240 talk about is for you to maybe expand a little bit on what Matt 483 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,040 said about kind of the approach that you're taking with people 484 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,120 that are coming in. I know the reason why you were 485 00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:06,840 late getting on is because you were taking time to answer 486 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,680 questions and talk to someone about step ONS and, and how 487 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,560 they're working, you know, all that fun stuff. 488 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,120 So can you maybe just kind of dig into that a little bit as 489 00:25:16,120 --> 00:25:20,760 far as your approach and? Yeah, I actually, I it's so 490 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,000 funny. People get people all the time. 491 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,240 They're like, Oh yeah, you work in sales or like, Oh yeah, 492 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,400 you're a really good salesperson. 493 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,240 I'm like, no, I'm actually a really horrible salesperson in 494 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,080 the sense that like I'm out to save the customer money. 495 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,560 Like I want to make sure that you are not getting, I'm not, I 496 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,080 don't believe in overselling. So like I'm not going to just 497 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,880 like sell you into the most like expensive thing just so that I 498 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,600 can make more money. Like I don't believe in that. 499 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,400 That's that's, I think that's bad business. 500 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,440 Well, it's good business for your wallet, but you know, it's 501 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,040 like my, my accountant is probably like rolling right now 502 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,320 and he so yeah, I'm not, I want people to be in the right 503 00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:05,840 equipment for where they're currently at in their journey. 504 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,560 So if you're a beginner, yes, you should be on a beginner 505 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,080 board. But you know, if you're 506 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,080 relatively athletic and you're going to go 1015 * a year, 507 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,600 you're going to be very quickly into an intermediate board. 508 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,120 So like, maybe, yeah, spend a little bit more, but like, am I 509 00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:22,560 going to sell, sell you the $700.00 carving powder board? 510 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,120 I talk right as you see. Oh, the woman that that's funny. 511 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,560 See, we know everybody. But then so, yeah, I don't 512 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,360 believe in upselling. I want to save people money. 513 00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:36,240 So of course, like I, the very first thing I do is I go right 514 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,160 for the sales shelf, like when I go shopping. 515 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,520 So that's absolutely what I'm going to do with my customers. 516 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,120 Like let me see if we can get anything from the sales shelf 517 00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:48,000 first. But then I, I like the term 518 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,440 educator. I'm not a salesperson, I'm an 519 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,800 educator. I'm here, I am going to answer 520 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,280 your questions. I'm going to tell you about 521 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,960 what's out there, and then you're going to make the 522 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,280 decisions for yourself as to what your options are. 523 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,320 And if that means buying your skis from me and your bindings 524 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,120 from Sports Page and your jacket from Fountain Square, awesome. 525 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:11,560 Just don't buy it from Amazon, right? 526 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,600 Great, maybe 1000%. Yeah. 527 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,520 But also, that's where I was saying earlier too, like, we're 528 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,080 gonna listen. We're gonna ask you what your 529 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,600 style is. I'm not gonna put you on a, you 530 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,720 know, a big mountain aggressive, very directional board if you 531 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,480 want to go and hit jumps and rails all day, right. 532 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:35,520 So and, and I'm not going to put you on a beginner board. 533 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,360 If you've been riding for 10 years, I'm not going to put you 534 00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:41,160 on a super stiff, aggressive board and that cost more just to 535 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,120 make more money. Just when you know I'm if you're 536 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,640 it's your second year snowboarding. 537 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,440 What's appropriate? For you. 538 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,680 So, so that's where the communication, the discussion 539 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,280 happens, educating and we're also learning from you about 540 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,960 what style we're looking for. And then we, and then the other 541 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:02,560 cool thing too, is just like knowing that we we ride the area 542 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:08,520 like W is our home, like we ride at Gore Killington, like that's 543 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,360 we know what the snow is here. We know what what boards and 544 00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:15,840 what, like what equipment is actually appropriate for here. 545 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,800 So like I don't. I don't carry any skis that are 546 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:25,440 like over 110, like 'cause that's, that's just silly. 547 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,640 Those are just, those are just flotation devices and those are 548 00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:33,200 go rent that in Colorado. But so everything here is 549 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,680 appropriate. So you can't go wrong with like 550 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,160 what's in the store. And yeah, if you want the 551 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,200 Colorado ski, I'll try and special order for you. 552 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,200 But like I'm not gonna carry anything in the store that's not 553 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,240 appropriate. But then trying to figure out 554 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,320 where this customer fits on the like the line of equipment, 555 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,760 That's that's where we come in. Like trying to like pair the 556 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,640 person with the board and you know, and I know this is dumb, 557 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,800 but like, I don't know, what's your favorite color? 558 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,880 Like that's important. Like I know people are like, 559 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,360 color doesn't matter. No color totally matters. 560 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,120 Go faster. Oh my God, I can't tell you how 561 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,160 many people have gone with like either a softer boot or a harder 562 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,160 boot than what I actually recommended because they're 563 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,360 like, but that one matches my skis And I'm like, well if it 564 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,400 makes you feel better then see, that's the right answer. 565 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:22,000 No, one of my former athletes that I used to coach, nice 566 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,880 stuff. He came in, we were looking at, 567 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,080 they were looking at bindings for him and the bindings. 568 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,840 He he, he picked a pair of bindings. 569 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,040 He's like those ones go with my board. 570 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,840 Well, I was just going to say, it's like we were, we were in 571 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,280 between 2 binding, 2 or 3 bindings and we literally the 572 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,040 deciding factor was that one matched his board better than 573 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,080 the other. If you match 20% better, that's 574 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,520 just science. You'll you'll be a little 575 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,000 uncomfortable if it looks just a little bit better, right? 576 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,760 But also on top of the the supplying and understanding the 577 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,600 snow in the area and being local, we've also been out West 578 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,360 with athletes and we've been in the Midwest. 579 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,760 And so if you are going somewhere, we we can talk about 580 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,640 that too, right, You know. Yeah. 581 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,280 And say you say you end up, well, depending on how long 582 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,440 you're going and what the snow is, what time of year. 583 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,120 I'm like a lot of times I'm like, you end up saving, saving 584 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:17,360 on your baggage and just renting skis out there. 585 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,920 And, and then we've, you know, we've been involved, she's been 586 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,400 involved with Alpine. I've coached snowboard, cross 587 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,840 and slopestyle and she's coached ski cross, snowboard cross and 588 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,400 slopestyle. So we we can have those 589 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,920 discussions that we're talking about with anybody that's 590 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,120 interested in coming in. We also love riding the big 591 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,040 mountain and we like playing in the park, you know, so. 592 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:44,240 Well, that's the Yeah, like the the Park Community was the, you 593 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,520 know, the, that's kind of where it all started too. 594 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:53,320 It's like, you know, W Mountain is very race heavy and they do, 595 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,160 they have a phenomenal race program here with reliable 596 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,640 racing.

I want to get more, I want to 654 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,320 get more demos going. Like they don't know, like 655 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,920 people don't do demos anymore. Like that was that was a cool 656 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,120 thing. So I want to get demo days back 657 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,280 together. I've got like four or five other 658 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:38,760 little like, you know, someday maybe ideas floating up in my 659 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,280 head. So it's just a matter of, you 660 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,400 know, maintaining natural, natural upward growth and not 661 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,560 getting too big for my britches too fast. 662 00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:52,679 Because I've already had like, there's two different people 663 00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:56,360 who've reached out to me already and they're like, hey, we want 664 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,280 you to do an expansion shop like here. 665 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,640 And I'm like, can I just get one shop first? 666 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,440 Yeah, right. Let me just get I'm. 667 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,360 Worried about expanding. So that's that's been pretty 668 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:12,120 cool. And then, you know, not to be 669 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,920 like doom and gloomy, but like, you know, I want to stay here. 670 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,800 This building has so much history. 671 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,600 I love it with especially with Kohl's Woods being right here. 672 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,320 It's like, I know it's not board shop, but like it's still again 673 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:27,280 sliding on snow. It's sliding on snow, but like 674 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:28,760 technically the building's for sale. 675 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,400 Like somebody might come in here and I might have to scoot out. 676 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,600 But no matter what, Hometown Board shop will be staying 677 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:42,160 within Hometown USAI mean technically we're in Queensbury 678 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,000 right now, but you know, I can, I can throw, I can throw a rock. 679 00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:47,800 Yeah, that, that. That at the town line, it's the. 680 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,000 Line is pretty close, yeah. So I think. 681 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:52,080 We should have a Nordic cross on. 682 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,480 That. We. 683 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,920 We. I was talking with Bryant about 684 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,760 that up at the Ski Bowl. So you that's funny that you 685 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,120 mentioned that. If you haven't looked at Nordic 686 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,880 Cross, by the way, that is actually a real event and it's 687 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,440 crazy and so cool. You take the idea of ski cross 688 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:15,720 and snowboard cross, but you do it on Nordic skis, so yeah. 689 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:18,440 Yeah. So help me understand that a 690 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,400 little bit more. So like, so you're racing? 691 00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:23,600 Yeah, like. Multiple people at a time. 692 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,000 You're on a course. And it's bracketed, so like only 693 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,680 the first, only the first two across the line advance to the 694 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,200 next round. But then they have like 695 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,280 obstacles in the way. They do it for cross country. 696 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,000 So like in US or for us with downhill there's like jumps and 697 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,000 rollers and and derm turns. The whole idea of cross, the 698 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,920 reason why I call it crossing border cross, is it came from 699 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:45,640 motocross. Yeah. 700 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:50,840 So motocross was doing it and then snowboarders, snowboarders 701 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,280 thought it was cool. We decided to do that on the 702 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,560 mountain and then now skiers jumped in on it and now we have 703 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,640 ski cross, snowboard cross and then so that's where the other 704 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,520 game came the. Natural progression would be 705 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,320 that Nordic skiers want to jump on the bandwagon, which is just 706 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,000 awesome. And it's actually really cool 707 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,200 'cause one of the features that they have is that their feet 708 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,520 have to stay in the track, but the track alternates. 709 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,120 So you're going like this with your feet through the feature. 710 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:20,240 It's freaking cool. Are they sending those guys over 711 00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:23,360 table tops and stuff? I don't think I think they might 712 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,200 actually have like a like a small jump that they have to 713 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,760 show over.

So it was actually like an elite 720 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,560 level group of people participating in it. 721 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:52,760 Like I said, it's just very cool. 722 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,880 Highly recommend.
