I was looking through my friends new Aliance Mag and noticed an ad with Colin riding for a new company. Anybody know why? He has switched a few times in the past few years. Anybody know the new company name?

i thought it said something like "slingshot". never heard of them. on the same subject though, his new helium vests kick arse. the tuxedo one was awesome!

It is slingshot, a NW kiteboard company getting into wakeboarding I think. I saw him riding the prototype last month and he was killing it, but he kills it on anything he rides.

I think that Slingshot is one of the leading Kiteboard manufacturers and the recruited collin and his crew to help them out with getting in to wakeboarding. if you check out their site www.slingshotwake.com you can see that they are making a flex board. That is shaped like an other normal board. I think it could be pretty sick and a step in the right direction for wakeboarding.

PS his new helium vest is looks sick forsure.

Good for him. I'm sure he will do well. He has always been one of my favorite riders...

The flex board looks cool, I hope that means that we will be seeing more of his riding. He has some awesome spinning skills and plenty of style.
