Don’t forget about the HP at Silverton that Burton did up for Shaun.
Really super duper nice from what I hear.

I hear Louie Vito is KILLING IT over at Coppe even without his very own HP.

GO Louie!!!

Funny thing is ………….The uniforms will still be made in a CHINESE factory …….. no matter who “has the rights”
If Burton makes the uniforms in the USA and gives some local workers jobs ….. I will buy Burton products again.

Burton’s change of tune is due to their change of business model. Who cares what SPIN they put on it, their attitude was good enough ten years ago, what changed?

Who cares who is “in control” of the snowboard Olympics uniforms? You really care?

If Burton wanted to make a statement about the individuality of snowboarding, they could remove the fucking Burton logos from those things, or make them tiny. But those logos are huge! It’s about nothing other than finding new ways to justify budgets to their shareholders. Oh wait, Jake still owns it, right? So who the hell is approving these decisions?

They obviously have made the transition from “snowboarders first” to “business first” and no matter how loudly they scream otherwise, the actions always speak louder than words. Hypocritical bullshit, and sad. They become like Nike– ubiquitous, easy to dislike, able to buy the best “athletes,” but still dominating in the snowboard product world. I’ve somehow justified owning Burton boards, and loved ‘em, but I need to get different boards. Just another straw, but the final one. I’ve said Fuck Nike. Now, Fuck Burton.

I think before the last Olympics they did a good job addressing the change in their tune (and Dacyshyn acknowledges it in the quote). I would rather have them in control than X-Nix or whatever…
