Search this forum. There are plenty of posts here that explain our feelings about the folks over at LAME.

This is from their current site. It pains them to admit they were a skiboard only company at one time...

The following winter of 1998, the X Games for the first time ever had a ski event. It was a slopestyle and believe it or not,
skiboard only. (After you stop laughing) Remember that skiing on long skis was still stuck...

I love revisionist history. Easy to do when a majority of your customers are too young to remember ten years ago.

That story was really interesting. They did seem to be almost afraid of using the word "skiboards" and when they did they had to take a moment to poke fun at the fact that they used to make them. sad

That story gets better and better every year. Eventually they will claim that Skiboards were only sized that way as prototypes but people rode them anyway while they waited for longer lengths.

Thats the way that story read to me.
Its sad how they won't stick up for their beginnings and are breeding disrespect for skiboarders. Its like people coming from a poor background, doing well for themselves and then being ashamed of where they came from.
