marnix 0 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 To me Quik sounds alot better than Rossignol. I might even consider buying Rossi stuff then. Although I have some Dynastars and that's also part of the group. Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Quik is not that cool Sanno... They are at least putting some effort into helping the survivors of the devastating earthquake in Sumatra though. Quiksilver buying Rossignol is just a rumour though and nothing is finalised.

jstepp 0 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I didnt realize rossignol was the largest manufacturer, of course thats taken directly from that article and nothing more. I like my Salomon, but still think Palmer is the best (board-wise) Link to post Share on other sites
jon snapper 0 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 While we're on the topic. As Sanno rightly points out, Dynastar are a part of the Rossignol group. They've kindly agreed to sponsor this years Nagano Ski Trip. I was at there offices the otherday checking out the new gear for this year, some pretty sweet looking stuff I must say. Anyways, we'll be giving away Dynastar skis, boards, bindings, poles, clothing and hats at the Nagano Ski Trip Party at Hakuba's infamous Club Panorama/Valance (or whatever they call it these days) on Saturday January 22nd. Check out the site for more details www.naganoskitrip2005.com Come along, it's always a good laugh. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 This is interesting Hope they don't change the ski line to much. Link to post Share on other sites
r45 4 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Me too. Itll be interesting to see how this develops. Link to post Share on other sites
marnix 0 Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 According to someone near the source it is all blown out of proportions. There were some projects that both companies wanted to work together on, both they all fell through. this could be the truth, but considering the circumstances a possible take-over sounds very well possible. Although I find Nike a better contender then Quik. Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted March 26, 2005 Author Share Posted March 26, 2005 Update- latest news article quicksilver/rossignol . They hope to out sell Columbia, Northface and Patagonia, but will the same quality be there? Seems like an interesting venture. Link to post Share on other sites
