Ground industries contact problem

Chicagokitejumping - 9-9-2011 at 09:04 AM

We are trying to contact with ground industries to order a 2 mountainboards and more staff for people in Chicago but all their main telf and emails are disconected !

Is this company still in bussines ?

Likely and sadly not. They are now running a store front (inverted air or something like that). They are "reorganizing" but I'm not hopeful.

DirtDave is a member here and he can maybe help you if he still has any of their inventory in his personal possession (he worked for them). You can get a number that goes to Matt's vmail on their facebook page but I haven't had him return any of my calls or emails.

I'm needing anti-friction plates :sniff:

Is Ground Industries still in business?

Any News On GI?

For now, GI = Invert Action Sports .... selling mostly other people's street boards and accessories.

Kent still has a handful of boards left. If you dig around, a few other retailers have stock left over from 2010. However, unless something changes drastically no new GI stuff.

Actually, I only have one Conflict left in stock. All others are sold out. I do have some parts and pieces like bindings, nuts & bolts, king pins etc... but that's about it.

Last time I talked with Matt, he was saying that he is still trying to get the company back on its feet and would have products available once again, but that was several months ago and it doesn't look too promising.

This is a true shame as GI boards are absolutely awesome and have been a good supply for the Kiting Industry for many years.

The last number I got for Matt is 8649793819. Not sure if it will help but it may be a start.

The Kidds first snowboard was a GI. He liked it so much he still has it in his room. But he is way to big for it now.

B-Roc I may have a couple of those GI anti-friction plates around somewhere. I no longer have any cube-style GI trucks so you can have 'em. Shoot me a pic of what you are needing (ride_wv at yahoo dot com) and I can take a look around the garage...they are in there somewhere.
