Hope Youri find a new(or old) home soon, but out of curiosity...how can you tell from that picture? What's signature Slingshot about it?

Love this, only the total nerds can tell, but sadly we can tell in an instant with the bar almost completely behind him!
That is a slingshot bar end, they are pretty much the only ones using that bar end. Besides there is the centre line swivel and bar float with characteristic thick rear leader line.... It simply screams Slingy.

They also moved USA offices to downtown San Francisco.
Probably dropping athletes to pay rent

you know it could be all about the VKWC. Remember Best is partnered with VKWC or is it branson is an investor in best? there's some sort of connection there. could be conflict of interest sponsoring athletes that compete in your own competitions. vkwc proved they don't care much about the IKA but they do care about ISAF. anyway it's all just speculation right now

Seems a normal industry standard advertising practice.
