I believe that in the takeover DPS is now run by the God heads ?
I got a couple pair of the red Hybrid 120's but i can't think of buying anything they make nowdays
huge thanx to Marshal Olsen for helping me out on a warranty beef, the dealer be like " you got one defective ski so no you don't get a new pair of skis you get one ski " and then just like magic a new pair shows up !Lee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

I was wondering exactly this and this thread showed up in my google search. Looks like he's taken his carbon skillz and is now applying them in the world of super-expensive 3d printed custom cycling shoes:

Can’t wait for the revisionist history of how Stephen Drake invented the first bicycle shoe AND 3D printing! .

I am connecting with the manufacturer who built those original runs of skis today to confirm that the right materials are still available to recreate the magic. More to come, haha. Originally Posted by Joey Joe Joe Junior Shabadoo

Drake came up with the bitten apple logo. You didn't know that? He's a fucking pioneer.

I mean the guy literally invented powder skiing with his genius. How could any of those companies possibly function without some advice from the guy who Re-invented the definition of nano technology to include putting some basic carbon layers in skis. Originally Posted by TahoeJ

For what it’s worth, the Fractional Creative Director for Stephan’s shoe company held Director-level titles at Apple and Tesla.
Obviously leading a team of designers is different than leading the design.

And FWIW, DPS came up with the Lotus 138, which IMHO remains unsurpassed in the world of pow skis. So for that, alone, Drake gets a pass from me.
I don't give a shit who designed anything for Apple or Tesla or bike shoes... Originally Posted by powder11
