Am I a total fraud for reviewing a business that I’ve only seen from the exterior? If I go to church, give money to the poor, volunteer at a retirement home, and build homes in Mexico over the next 50 years maybe in a future life I’ll return as Jake Burton…(or the Hef but that’s a different review AND a whole different set of morals). If you want the best snowboarding gear, buy Burton, PERIOD. They may not state it explicitly, but basically every piece of clothing and equipment they sell has a lifetime guarantee. I’ve had binding parts replaced free many-a-times from stuff that ain’t even their fault. When your doing a 720 and wreck off a 100 ft cliff jump… seriousLY. Burton may be hated by anti-establishment fools because they dominate the market but what do you expect. Burton does it better than anyone. Jake hires passionate boarders and gets board tech and artistic design from some of the most gifted athletes on the planet. Next time I’m near the Spectrum I’m going into Burton and demanding a marketing position. Better yet, I’m going to corporate headquarters in Vermont and shootin’ for VP.
