Founded in Redmond, Washington in 1992, the company has since relocated to Seattle, Washington. Specializing in high quality snowboards, the company produces several lines of snowboards, ranging from free-ride, free-style, and competition snowboards.[1] OverviewAs of 2011, Ride currently has 22 lines of snowboards, with countless more snowboard accessories as well as winter apparel. Along with Ride's extensive winter gear selection, they also produce several lines or hardgear and softgear, as well as outerwear. Their snowboard line, which is split into several categories, includes freeride and freestyle boards. Freeride, meant for full mountain control, offers riders with great control over various mountain conditions and speeds. Freestyle boards, geared more toward terrain parks, offer more response and lighter weight, perfect for tricks and quick maneuvers. This great selection combats other snowboarding giants, such as Burton Snowboards. Based on rider submissions, Ride's demographics are approximately 85% male, 15% female, with the largest group comprising 18-24 year old's. On average, $300-$600 is spent annually on snowboard gear, with 20% or respondents riding over 50 days of the year, while most ride 11-30 days. This is well above the industry average of 9 days.[2] HistoryFounded in late 1992, Ride Snowboards enjoyed success in the early years. With the growing demand of clothing and other sporting goods, Ride expanded its inventory in 1994 to include such items branded under Cappel Clothing. Shortly after, in 1995 Ride relocated to Preston, Washington, where it acquired "the most respected snowboard company in the world", Thermal Snowboards Inc. of Corona, California. Later branded Ride Manufacturing, the facility incorporated additional "innoventive" technologies such as Membrain™ topsheets, Pop Rods™ and Pop Stixs™ to Ride's expanding line of snowboards. Recently relocated to Seattle, Washington, "Ride has firmly established itself as a snowboard industry leader". [3] SponsorshipRide also plays an important role in professional snowboarding, not only in the United States, but also the world. Some of the more well known riders include Mikey LeBlanc, Abby Lockhart, and Nick Hyne among many others.[4] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.ridesnowboards.com |title=Ride Snowboards |publisher=Ride |date=2011-03-16}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://ridesnowboards.com/support/company-info/company-info |title=Company Info |publisher=Ride |date=2011-03-22}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://ridesnowboards.com/support/company-info/company-info |title=Company Info |publisher=Ride |date=2011-03-22}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://ridesnowboards.com/riders |title=Team Riders |publisher=Ride |date=2011-03-21}} External Links{{official|https://ridesnowboards.com}}{{authority control}}Category:Companies formerly listed on NASDAQCategory:Privately held companies based in Washington (state)Category:American companies established in 1992 |
