Seems to me that there is a lesson in Industry here, in that JOL came up with the idea, but it has taken him so long to get them out that competitors have been able to copy them and get their product out there before he has even had a chance to finish making his first batch - i am still going to wait it out for JOL's cos i think his will be the best product.
I was pretty involved in the snowboard industry in the mid nineties, and people were biting each others ideas left right and centre, but such was the speed equipment was evolving it was very hard to prove.
