The B.S. About B.S. Technology Contest

Ever said to yourself I like to B.S? Perhaps you like to B.S. about snowboarding? Well if you find yourself B.S.ing about snowboarding then Omatic Snowboards and I have a contest for you! Yes that’s right we’re going to reward you with a snowboard for just Bull Shitting about their B.S. Technology! 

So what’s the deal with this contest? Well its pretty simple we’re giving you guys the chance to ask Omatics Board Engineer Jason Kanes all the questions you want about board designs, what B.S. (Bowed Surface) Technology is/does, whether or not he likes unicorns, and if Todd touches him in inappropriate places. Well OK maybe not the last question cause that’s kind of a behind closed doors job perk. But you get the idea and if you need to know a little more about Mr. Kanes here’s an interview he did with SnowRev a while back. If you need to know a little bit more about B.S. technology and how it rides I highly recommend reading these:

Omatic Celebrity review

Omatic Extr-Txtr review

Omatic Extr-Eco Wiggle Stick review

Battle of the base technologies

So what’s the catch?

Well it’s pretty simple from today till June 8th (that’s two weeks) you’ll have a chance to submit questions on here for him. The more questions you ask the more times you’ll be entered to win a snowboard, so remember to use a valid email address so I can contact you if you won. Only questions submitted on the site will be accepted so don’t bother emailing, twatting, or leaving comments on the Facebook fan page. After the 8th I’ll send the questions to him to get his answers and we’ll put it up in an interview format. This contest is open to anyone anywhere so if you live in Uganda don’t hesitate to ask a question. Yes that’s right you internationals have a chance at this as well! Just keep the questions relatively close to snowboarding related. After the interview is posted I’ll be picking a random submission from a hat or some other completely absurd method I can come up with. And for some sort of legal/ethical purposes The Intern is not allowed to enter cause frankly I like watching him get cranky.

What do you win?

Well up for grabs is a brand new Omatic Snowboard with B.S. Technology.
