A while back we posted something about the environmentally friendly, petroleum free wax being put out by HillyBilly Waxworks. Well, it seems one of the founders took the time to post a comment in response to someone complaining about the site and the supply shortage in the comments section. The post is rambling and we can't vouch for it's authenticity since Tyler never emailed us back, but it seems legit. It also involves conspiracy theories, taking on big business, and rants. All things we love here at GoBlog. So thanks Tyler for the reply. Hopefully you round up a good web designer and let us know if you need help fighting the goddamn oil companies and global wax monopoly. We hate those guys too. Well, other than the ones that make our polypro. And the ones that make gas for our Subarus. They're o.k. And maybe the ones that make plastic sporks. We love sporks.

In regards to Hillbilly and Ethica brand environmentally friendly ski and snowboard waxes- I am the resident Waxorcist here at Hillbilly, and I felt compelled to account for the difficulty many have had in attaining our products.
Without launching into a long-winded woe-is-us type story, it is worth mentioning that a wholesale assault on our products began before they were even introduced. Because we have the necessary patent material pending in near all ski and snowbaord related jurisdictions, our competitors have gone out of their way to make everything from manufacture to sales and distribution difficult for us.
Consider it a micro level example of what goes on in the much larger oil and gas industry. New advents and technologies are derided as inferior, and every underhanded tactic available is employed by existing corporate bodies.
We have been effectively blocked from growing as quickly as we would like by undercutting and advance bad press compliments of our competition.
Underpinning our distribution problems and the reluctance of many skihills, resorts and retailers to deal with us, though, is also the fact that we are new to this. Indeed, principle thirteen necessitates the appropriate execution and follow-through, not just good intentions.
However, as a company that has been in formal existence for a mere ten months, we're not doing too badly, especially when one considers how effective we have been in getting the word out on PFC hazards, Teflon/PTFE and PFOA toxicity, etceteras. That, taken in sum with the fact that we chose to use this season as a "dry run," leaves us more with the sense that it has been a roaring success as opposed to a poor debut. What wax we have sold this season was wax that would otherwise have been paraffin and/or fluorocarbon based. Though small-scale, the benefit is still considerable, and any apprehensions we had about taking this to the next level have been effectively shed.
On the website front, yes, it could absolutely do with an overhaul. If someone is familiar with a skiing/snowboarding Web designer that can or will work for wax and potential stock options, have them contact us. In the meantime, our lame site will remain in place as we prepare to launch a full-scale assault for next season.
Thanks, and enjoy the good weather.
