GhostriderX Set To Become King of the Mountain with New Line of Swiss-Engineered Ghost Board Snowboards Featuring Glow-in-the-Dark Technology
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Nov. 17, 2003 /Send2Press Newswire/ --
Award-winning GhostriderX Skateboards, LLC (www.ghostriderx.com) today
announced its new line of cutting edge Ghost Board(tm) snowboards
designed to offer superior riding performance under even the most
extreme conditions.
"Our snowboards are among the strongest, lightest and most responsive on
the market today," says company Founder and President Cody Boychuk.
"They're designed for maximum fun, whether you're riding the park or
pipe, busting 40-foot drops through the deep pow pow in Aspen,
heliboarding in Mount Everest, or descending from the crest of the Swiss
Alps."
Riding the wave of the phenomenal break-out success of its unique line
of skateboarding products, the company is offering six Ghost Board(tm)
models with a variety of cool top sheet graphics. Riders can choose from
the Swiss v.2 (161cm), Stalag-17 (158cm), Jet Society (158cm), Pretense
(158cm), Ghost Brigade (156cm) and Fastface (158cm). The boards sell for
a suggested retail price of $525-$600 USD.
Ghost Board(tm) snowboards are engineered to exacting standards in
Switzerland and are hand-made in the U.S.A. The design concept is the
result of two decades of snowboarding experience, including racing and
helicopter boarding.
Central to the overall board design is a full cap construction. The
principal advantage of this kind of construction is that the core
extends all the way out to the edges. This results in a board that is
structurally stronger and provides a more responsive ride with greater
"edge hold."
The boards also feature a continuous edge that is virtually
indestructible along with a sintered G3(tm) base, the fastest base
material available.
Unique to Ghost Board(tm) is its photoluminescent technology. The base
and elements of each board's top sheet glow in blue, green or red. It
not only makes them stand out from the crowd in style, but also helps
light the way through fog, twilight or darkness should snowboarders get
lost while boarding out of bounds.
GhostriderX was created in early 2001 by Cody Boychuk, an inventor and
innovator who helped pioneer the snowboarding industry during the 1980s.
Cody, 32, began his love affair with board sports at the age of three.
Later, while attending an international management school in
Switzerland, he was president of the school's Ski Club.
In January, 2003, GhostriderX was named best new company at the ISPO in
Munich, the world's largest sports trade fair. Beating out a field of
150 competing companies, Cody's company won for its unique line of
skateboarding products.
His company has since been quickly diversifying, adding snowboards,
wakeboards, wakeskates and kiteboards to its lineup. "Our goal is to
become a global leader in innovative design and sales through our
expanding network of U.S. and international distributors."
Leading market research firms have identified board-sports as being the
fastest-growing market segment of the sports industry, with upwards of
5.5 million snowboard users in the U.S. alone.
