We are simply living Our Lives paying our bills going to work and ignoring all of the ignorant stay-at-home crap the delusional press would like you to believe helps. New York Times on January 31st DoubleCrownAddict : Buddy there are no conspiracy theories.
That's just your close-mindedness refusing to be potentially wrong about what's easiest to believe. You need to check yourself. RoadStain : The most ironic thing about Trump's approach is that he is literally killing his own base of supporters that he needs to get re-elected! Interesting reelection strategy! We need a new President and that is the most effective way to make it happen. Correct me if I'm wrong. DoubleCrownAddict : We're testing more people than anywhere else.
Of course we have more confirmed cases. Go move somewhere with a Tyrannical government if that's what suits you. I'll happily take my freedoms with all risk involved. Also, what happens when travel resumes in those countries with hard lockdowns?
Virus will rage on if there's no herd immunity. Sweden is the only country that understood this from the start. I do question why the hell he was drawn into it though. While we know that he is a globalist easy when you make your fortune with the intellectual property you stole and become so rich it is impossible to spend it all.
At the end of the day, there has GOT to be some starving kid in Africa he can go nurture to health and leave the rest of us alone. Maybe he can go feed Ruth Ginsberg Wait, wait, do I smell Pantene? Until just now, I though the CDC was in charge of creating Covid testes, including the contaminated ones.
DoubleCrownAddict : lol, ppe, of nurses, docs, hospitals is all based on CON laws cert of need which each state sets up themselves.
Hard to believe this wasn't in the pipeline already and Covid just accelerated it. DirtyHal May 5, at Rumor I just heard was they got bought out which would make more sense than blaming this on Covid.
DirtyHal : Not a rumor, was announced last year. DirtyHal : They were bought out over a year ago now, back in December of Hyakian May 5, at I wasn't aware of that either. I know a lot of people down in HR that will be impacted by this. I officially have no more reasons to support this brand. RoadStain May 5, at Below Threshold show comment. DirtyHal : I bet correct. RoadStain : you are one wierd dude.
RoadStain : your location checks out. Oh, and all with NO state income tax. I really, honestly do hope a Greater than Northridge event takes out SoCal.
RoadStain : grow up little whiny boy. Olimac May 5, at RoadStain : but you ride a Specialized with Fox suspension? Thanks for the info about Marquee brands buying Dakine. It is a counterfeit. Though not from counterfeiters, but from corner cutting corporate wankers. All show, no go. I'll no longer looking for gear from Dakine. Upduro May 6, at Upduro : Please, can you try to explain exactly how not liking apathetic cry babies in American society that can not self support their own existence, judge so many others, and in general try to dictate how others live I do find it odd, now, all of a sudden Cali wants to "build the wall" So now, all of a sudden if Cali does not want illegals from the south, is that racist too?
RoadStain : lets see your amg then florida man. RoadStain : put your money where your methy mouth is bud. RoadStain May 6, at If you look up Santos mountain bike in Florida you might be amazed. Happenstance I have raced bicycles in 49 states and all over Europe so I'm pretty familiar with other areas. Hyakian : It went from a local brand to a hated one, over night Upduro : All while hipsters who use only gravity should be assessing political needs? What is astounding, the ultra high net worth Tri folks have as compared to a stereotypical MTN dude Isnt rent in California insane af?
They already have an office in southern california and seem to be consolidating there. Makes sense from a distribution aspect since most of their stuff is coming from Asia. Definitely sad to see though. Hope they keep on supporting the outdoor scene in Oregon. Rent in hood river is insane af too, lived there a year, in my car, moved back to utah to be indoors again.
Fix-the-Spade May 5, at It's a lot cheaper if you've gotten rolled into one of your parent company's existing offices, which is what I suspect happened. Brother lives in the area but out in the Dalles, Californians have ruined a lot of Oregon Always found it funny when I lived there people would complain about transplants and 90 percent who complained where born somewhere else. When I grew weed out there, it was random groups of growers, cartel members who grew, bikers who grew, and hillbillis.
As well as Texans and asshats from FL! DoubleCrownAddict May 5, at Oregon has no sales tax so they will be hit harder than states like WA. Broke states will be desperate and will have to raise property taxes. There will eventually be housing crashes everywhere but tourist areas with no sales tax will see some of the biggest drops.
The lack of tax revenue will give these states little breathing room to survive. Beez May 5, at One that designed in California by any chance?

Poulsbojohnny May 6, at A lot changed between and By the mid 90's I'd had enough. Moved to Oregon salem. Family things and kids caused a move to Washington. Waiting for the kids to be done and then I'm out. Back to Oregon likely, seems the least nuts of the West coast states. Poulsbojohnny : Someone will call you racist or some other such thing in Congrats on sane plans!
DoubleCrownAddict : Property taxes find cities, counties and other local government districts. Oregon will no doubt need to get creative with their finances though, at least in the short term. DanBye May 6, at Fancy seeing you here Reunion tour once we can safely travel? Hyakian May 6, at Hello Walmart, Target, Dick's, etc. Prolly just a coincidence. Ah man Dakine being somewhat local was always a reason I chose their product. End of an era for HR, more than anything. I guess I'll still buy their stuffs.
It does not make sense to blame covid, if you plan to move to a more population dense area. In addition, Oregon's covid laws are the same as other states on the west coast. Bonus, Nike is right down the road so access to clothing industry talent is not to hard to get. My guess is that they are either trying to focus on Surf Or trying to cut costs. Edit Close.

Word got out, and soon fellow surfers began turning to him with their gear problems—most often busted surf leashes.
These advances in equipment design helped windsurfers sail faster, jump higher and ride in more intense conditions. While Dakine would keep a presence on Maui, its headquarters moved to the mainland. Hood River also sat at the base of Mount Hood, where snowboarders and skiers from all over the world trained in the summer. It was one of those snowboarders that led us to the first Heli Pack. He had come off the mountain and wandered into Dakine with a request: He needed an essentials-only pack for his heli trips to Alaska.
Dakine created a custom pack that had everything he wanted and nothing more. That favor for a friend eventually turned into one of our most iconic products ever. How do I ride down with full-face helmet and pads on, but ride up without sweating to death? Is there a way to carry a chain saw, hammer and set of loppers up a trail on a bike?
The answer we found, was yes! We always try to answer those kinds of questions with the same resourcefulness, integrity and craftsmanship that Rob built into that first surf leash.
