In an effort to bring readers fresh, unique perspectives of events TransWorld Business is launching Retail Recon, a new Web column where some of the industry’s most influential retailers report on hot topics, new products, and special events.

For our first installment, TWBIZ partnered with Outdoor Retailer to send five retailers from around the country to the show for the first time. These retailers walked the show, took notes and photos, and prepared reports from their experience on the floor. Here’s an insightful look at OR through the lens of five leading action sports retailers. (Click On Images For Reports & Photos)
