Is Ninthward still in business?

all you pussies freaking out, chill. I was sarcastic on my first comment, but no one recognized it so i kept going with it. Im about to graduate with a BS in Business Admin. and finance in 2 months, i hope i know how businesses operate.
 
You might want to look into getting your tuition back, because you obviously don't know how a business is run. And don't try to save your ass by claiming sarcasm, that's just sad.
 
Ninthward have the worst customer service of any company I've dealt with.

Last year when they were looking for EU distributers, I offered to put them in contact with some people I know in the business, and they roundly told me where to go.

If they have gone out of business, then I completely understand why.
 
ON3P managed to do it. A few years down the line, and they have a solid team, a fantastic marketing plan, and a lot of happy customers.

Ninthward had some of the biggest names in skiing on its team, and for the last few years has been particularly poor in its operation.
 
Your sarcasm blows, and so does whatever school you are fixing to get a degree at because the business ethics you have been taught suck. I have been at the top of management at the age of 20 running business with annual incomes in the millions. I chose to go back to school instead to earn a degree with a double minor including business marketing and do things I still wanted to do including skiing. I love this sport with a passion and to see stupid shit like this going on in the industry royally pisses me off. Taking advantage of people never knowing their background is the wrong in itself. 9thward is Pathetic in handling the situation. I don't care what kind of degree you have. Your comments were nowhere near sarcasm. They were plain ignorant in there own mindset.
 
Yeah def reminds me of that...not. You're a moron. It's more the fact of the matter of the situation. A company can't back themselves. I'll start throwing up gang signs maybe ill have a better chance in getting a response...
 
So what the story behind ninthward? I remember they had some heavy names in their lineup a while back. Who do they have now? And who started the business?
 
Well according to a lot of NS posts someone in the owners family has a lot of money and is paying the bills for the company. Somehow they signed on a bunch of big names, but eventually a bunch of riders stopped gettting paid or just left the team,now even henrick (their biggest name for a long time) has left.

Legacy of horrible customer service, they were even banned from NS back in the day because they didn't pay for advertising. (Apparently that matter has been resolved though.)
 
I thought it was odd as well when I talked to the contact at 9thward that was running the company...he said on the phone that he was working at a ski shop in mammoth or something. Odd. That doesn't make sense considering that he should be in a office maybe? Just goes to show the setup of the company...
 
Haha what a fucking joke. You were wrong and are afraid to admit it. "lolz guize i was just like trolling calm down. I have a degree, I said it on the internet so it's true"

and OP, I'm totally on your side. But like somebody said, they did you a favor by not giving you their crappy skis.
 
Ask Tom Warnick, Charlie Owens also to name a few. I don't even think they were given last years ski models last year, if not any skis at all.
 
say whatever you want but every pair of ninthwards i have owned has been well worth the investment. best ski's i've ever skied on for park and for pow. and good job making a call out thread that would have absolutely no effect other than show you emailed someone 3 times and gave up.

shane@ninthward.com

campbell@ninthward.com

you'll get your shit eventually, just quit acting 14.
 
After a year i would be getting pissed of aswell, there's no excuse for that. If they didn't have ski's ready to give they shouldn't have put some up.
 
they have absolutley no skis i tryed to buy a set for the nz ski season but they themselves cant even get any of the 11-12 stock they have just changed factory from elan in slovenia to a some new factory in canada. cut shane some slack hes allways been helpful to those with stoke for his product
 
Are you fucking retarded?

It's March 2012 ans the company cant even get their own 2012 skis? Jesus....
 
i cannot speak for the skis or the lack of customer service. i do not ride Ninthwards, but i always liked the vibe of the company cause it was truly different than any other ski company in the world. i used to love their team, and love there old edits. maybe its just cause im old and i grew up as rory silva as my idol haha, but ya i hope they get there team together n product out. i for one think it wold be a shame to c them simply disappear. but like i said i have not dealt with them and cant speak bout that side of things.
 
Ninthward is the First Drop of 2012. Remember all the first dump hate threads? The FD tattoos? LOL, both companies are jokes.
 
solid as fuck . W ski 106 was a game changer. imagine a ski movie now a days with someone shredding and creeping out to marilyn manson . ha rory was the man, and still is in my book.
