A Long List of Dead Snowboard Brands
Though the snowboard internet has been pretty dead over the past few weeks, what with the holidays and all, but he History of Snowboarding group on Facebook has been a-buzz thanks to a post on dead brands. Since we’ve talked about this about 1000 times and never done it, we’re reblogging it, and we’re stoked that the Internet has done the majority of our research for us! (If everyone can crowd source money, we can crowd source content, right?) I did my best to sort though the 500+ comments and make an extensive list with no doubles, add a few more, as well as take off the ones that are still around. Of course, I probably missed some…

Yup they were. But I’m guessing a sponsorless Sage Kotsenburg means they’re gone too.
What about Nomis and Stepchild??

Anyone know anything about a brand called ” life” ?
I bought a used demo board from a ski resort about 23 years ago and it was brand new the year before i bought it when they let me borrow it after my board broke on the first run of the day. So this was back in the late 90s. Im guessing it was either a brand that came and went so fast nobody remembers it or its a model or style under another brand name not on the board.
It is all light blue with a pinkish phoenix rising with a heart on its chest and says ” life” in italic font. The bottom of the board is all white and says LIFE in Navy blue italic letters. If this sounds familiar id love to know more about this company and its boards. Thanks.
