All my was Burton, only because my mom managed the account and I got free . The only thing that sucks with them is that Burton boards are made to fit Burton parts only, at least it used to be like that I don't know if it changed. Damn you Burton.  |

why the would i do that when i get a board that's sturdy, light, fits my shoes, and rides like a in angel in the clouds.
...Burton is not Tiesto, you can't hate, they still make quality even if it is an ENORMOUS board company. |
because there are other companies that sell products that's sturdy, light, fits your shoes, and rides like a in angel in the clouds that doesn't have a branding that 80% of the mountain is riding.
Burton is Tiesto, I can hate, they still make ty products for such an ENORMOUS board company.
....
I woulda atleast gave some respect if it was a Forum Destroyer (also owned by Burton), same goes for anything from Four Square and Special Blend. I rock those 3 companies, i just won't cave to the burton branding even though I admit I own a few pieces of softgoods, but would never think to toss them $400 when there are companies that have a much better board comp then burton does...
Endeavor! Academy! Rome! Gnu! LibTech! Ride! Never Summer! Compatriot! Arbor!
PLENTY...and nicer designs might i add. Burton is A&F - stay rockin it! Sall good just my $.05 |

Academy is a breckenridge based company, probably get 100x better rider response during their board comp and design.
Endeavor is BC/Vancouver based company...there isn't much justification needed since BC is the mecca of snow-kingdom
Ride just as strong in the market share as Burton, much better in their binding tech imo
most of these companies are equally comparable to the easy Burton route thats all im saying... |

so what you're saying is -
i can get a cheaper board that rides the same/equal value AND has a better design... wow. |

take it as you want...
i think people who buy burton just don't care enough to give money to a smaller more focused company, keep feeding the pig kids |
