Mr. LeRoy Hucke reports
Kazz, the parent company of identity snowboards Inc., was fourth at the U.S.
Nationals in Telluride, Colo., on March 31, 1999.
Riding an identity E185GS raceboard in the nation's largest snowboard competition,
Nate Cole overcame a costly first-run mistake to place fourth. Although he posted
the second fastest time of the event on his second run, it was not enough for a title
win. Making up time on the lower section of the course, with the board's stubborn
ability to conquer the icy slope, Nate said: "It held an edge and felt completely solid
at all times."
More than 850 competitors were present at the USASA National Championships
and competed in five disciplines including: boardercross, GS, half-pipe, slalom, and
slopestyle. Lacking confidence in his current sponsors' GS board, it was no surprise
that Mr. Cole felt empowered to race the E185GS by identity. Mr. Cole was aware
of identity's reputation among World Cup racers on the U.S. Snowboard Team.
Although contracts have yet to be signed, Mr. Cole has agreed to ride exclusively on
identity products. With his superb abilities, and identity's cutting-edge technology and
design, the two will make a hard to beat team. |
