Everything else...marketing, product, team & sales...we're on our own. There are 16 of us that work on the brand. There were 5 people working full time on the movie. Our work with apple had nothing to do with Burton. We made the contacts & sealed the deal on our own. haha it only took 10 months:) And if we made anywhere near 200 million a year maybe i'd have someone else blogging this for me. Hi Robert,

They are owned by Burton Snowboards -- Burton snowboards sells over $200 million worth of gear every year. Also, it is probably worth noting that Burton and Apple have collaborated on a number of projects in the past. Forum snowboards isn’t exactly an “indie” producer.
