Backbone landed in NYC for a F’11 showroom with our clients Newton Running, Eddie Bauer/First Ascent, Polartec, Black Diamond, Club Ride, Gregory Mountain Products, La Sportiva, POC, Bamboo Bottle Company, Teva, Gerber Blades, SmartWool, Redington, Boa and Revo. The showroom was covered by Outside Television and also profiled select brand innovators and athletes such as Newton Founder Danny Abshire, mountaineer Peter Whittaker, adventure racer Sari Anderson and street rider Jeff Lenosky.
Concurrent to the showroom, Backbone met with Fast Company and toured Ground Zero on a historic Monday in America, met with Rodale, Bonnier, Men’s Journal, Rolling Stone and lifted a few cold ones with Outside TV and New Belgium. We also attended the Wired Disruptive Conference where speakers included Bill Gates, Martha Stewart and Chris Anderson. Disruptive showcased some freakin’ cool robots and predicted the end of DVDs in the future.
