rdaman : Hold your horses. It's only wednesday in vermont. There's a long way to go before HP finals. But getting into semi's is still good...if he was a burton rider they would have pre-qualified him through automatically.
Guest_4820 : Scotty J into the finals of the US open «link»
Banga : so much hate, if Burton wasn't around to prop up the rest of the snowboard industry, the cooler hesh brands wouldn't be able to operate, Guest 2329, what board do you ride?
Guest_2923 : abbey lee
Guest_2923 : abbey lee
Guest_2329 : Burton stopped caring about the good of snowboarding a long time ago. Only a punter brand anyways. No surprise they are doing everything possible to increase profit margins.
Trav : Guest 4894, Essa folded recently, how ironic
Guest_4894 : burton socks get holes in like a week. essa socks is were its at.
Guest_2249 : They make really good socks!
and Again : boards & materials. Just as some of the old hard core surfers out there probably hate what Quiksilver has done to surfing, there are going to be generations of professional athletes making a pretty dam good living from the sport they love purely because of the vision and drive of the pioneers. They might be evolving into a company that you might not like but they should be respected for what they have done.
Hang on again : Guest 4510. No. I'm not a Burton employee, & I have never bought a Burton board. But I have been a snowboarder for 21years & as Steve just said Burton has been there from the start, helped grow snowboarding to the goliath it is today & even though some might hate the power & commercialism that Burton represents, every snowboarder out there, even though they might not realise how, have been touch by the power of Burton. Either directly by buying it's products or indirectly by the evolution of
steve : I wish other companies put back into snowboarding to the same degree as Burton does
Guest_4510 : Hang On you wouldnt happen too be a Burton employee now would ya
Hang on 2 : Burton then those jobs would't have existed. Burton might be to proud to say they are struggling but they are trying to survive. Imagine how many more job losses there would be if they went under, especially with the large amount of brands they have.. Food for thought..
Hang On : It's the banks and financial institutions that have raped the American economy. If that hadn't have happened, then people might have had enough money to go snowboarding and Burton might have been able to remain financially viable in the USA. I know there are some Burton haters out there but when your a big company sometimes you need to do what you need to survive. As for supporting the roots of your company, they will always be there. The job losses are bad but lets face it, if it wasn't for
Trav : House of 1817 vid «link»
Nicolas : Way to support the American economy and the roots of your company too Burton. Let me guess all Burton boards are now Nideckers as well. Company in crisis right here.
Guest_4050 : link works for me...
ggggg : the link wont work
Yeah Burton : «link»
Yeah Burton : Burton have decided to move operations from Vermont to Austria... costing 43 employees jobs, way to look after the people that helped build the company!

Guest_2750 : anyone know which pop mag had the travel guide to NYC??
Dave : I was talking about pre-order hype for the iPad the other week, here's an interesting fact: Price of Apple stock at iPod intro: $9.07, at iPhone intro: $122.04, at iPad pre-order $226.60. Amazing. Who's getting one?
Guest_3271 : Hey mate, the one we like the best will win,, but all the designs are being sent to billabong and they are going to take from all the designs what they like.. if they love one then they might even use the whole design
Guest_2640 : Hey robbie are you actually going to use the final design or adapt a bit?
Guest_299 : Billabong outerwear is rad you knob.
Guest_2541 : Hey its Robbie, Just to mach my Black fitted pants, and send your design to «email» Thanks
Answer : Don't even botter billabong is crap quality any way always has been and always will be shit....
Question : For the RJWalker jacket design comp, is there a pair of billabong pants that it should be matched to or what style of Billabong pants does Robbie wear so it can be matched to. Also where and to whom do I send my deigns to. Cheers
