Oli Derome moves to Slingshot?

A top ten rider leaves Ronix for Slingshot? I'm not sure which company is better for his career, but Slingshot really suits his style of rail riding. Too bad Oli is on the Ronix website pushin their gear while riding for a different company. Hmmm, he must know something I don't. Maybe I should get a Slingshot board instead of Ronix.

Just joking, and yes I know SS is entirely wood core (in men's at least) and Ronix has mostly foam cores and a hybrid. But feel free to remind me in posts below.

I saw this on www.unleashedwakemag.com

Wowza. Slingshot is really stocking up! Bummer he's not on Ronix anymore, love seeing a guy with that much style riding my favorite products. At any rate, I hope it works out well for both parties!!

I remember seeing a full-page slingshot ad in one of the wke mags a couple months back when ennen was announced as part of the team. the page was divided up into 6 sections i think with a generic shadow of a person in each box except for the first box with ennen in it. the add said something to the effect of making me think they would be announcing more peeps along the way

anyone remember that ad?

I think Oli's style is Fierce, plus he rode the Mana(which I ride) when I first started following him, so it's a bummer to hear he's leaving Ronix but best of luck to anyone involved.
