Our partners, employees and sub-contractors
are all about action sports. They are not people that
just think about them-they are action sports athletes,
themselves. Whether former pros or just hard-core enthusiasts,
if our team is not shooting the slope, river or trail,
they are probably recreating there!
This is key in an industry where credibility is vital
and the viewer knows it! Action and adventure sports enthusiasts
cannot be fooled-they know the real thing when they see
it-and that's what Wink Inc. is all about!
