Lurch Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Yep you are right @lowrider my apologies. A momentary lapse reason based on how keen I would be to rat through a shed full of Bomber components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 I'm sure the first thing Walker would like to do would be to see if there were enough parts to assemble a few pairs of complete binding before selling off parts. " Wow what a meccano set " And all summer to play with it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algunderfoot Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Thank you Walker! We may be getting older, but most all of us will need Bomber around for sometime if we have anything to say about it! Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for any obvious short comings for next season as I've gone through inventory I've become more optimistic that we may have inventory to approach, though perhaps not match, the volume Fin was selling a few years ago. It's starting to become clear where our opportunity is to maximize available product and how best to pursue it. Cheers, Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cin Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 @forrest, I tried clicking the link to the google doc to add my email address (at least I think that's why you posted that link), but I seem to need permission for that. Should we PM you our email addresses instead to get the notification? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utahcarver Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Walker, good luck to you and thank you for taking on this task of helping to fuel our addictive sport.

Pokolikrat Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Did anybody heard any news from new Bomber owner? Man, throw us some bones, some spare parts just something. Or is it time just to switch to companies which probably will be in business for some time in future? I have been on Bomber about 25 years, but loosing hope.

I have been on Bomber about 25 years, but loosing hope. Patience Ladia. I met Walker at the Donek A-Basin party back in May, and my impression of him is that he is a pretty solid guy. If you scroll back in one of these threads, he was pretty adamant about not getting things up and running until some point in the fall, so we, as a community, should give him till early October at a minimum to get things sussed out before we start circling the wagons. Enjoy the rest of your summer, and see you in Montana if you're so inclined Mario Edited August 12, 2018 by big mario Too many post mtb ride beers sent me to the dept of redundancy dept. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowrider Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Sorry this may sound like a negative point of view. Forrest has purchased the inventory of Bomber with the intention of serving our needs and hopefully generating some profit for his risk. Place yourself in his shoes now and trying to procure parts necessary to conduct such a business and now facing tariffs that never existed before on necessary inventory . Good luck Forrest were still pulling for you ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvin' Marvin Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Let's not turn this into a binding flame thread. Some people like trucks some people like sports cars. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Agreed, this is not the place. If you like Bomber bindings, be patient while a new business venture forms from the rubble. If you don't like them, buy what you like and don't crap in this thread. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
