dude my friend bought a demoed jones from them at the summer sale and it broke after like 4 times riding it so they gave him a brand new one (a year newer also) but he got a free dominant (shitttttty beat dead) so he rode that til conditions were good....his first day out with the new jones it broke in the same way as the other one and the year warrenty is up hahaha.


luckily we have a friend whos dad is high up at burton so he just gave him a shaun white for free.

let that be a lesson to all you shitheads that buy burton stuff just because shaun white buys it and you see burton logos all over your mountain.

i will never buy a burton hardgood in my life. the quality is shit. by the way if you want a good quality twin for a good price, get an atomic hatchet. burton has been trying to copy it by releasing the blunt, but the hatchet is still better.

hey calm down dude, also shaun white doesnt "buy" burton, and it doesnt make you cool to hate on him just because he is popular...he is easily the best competitor in the world no matter how popular he gets.

ok so ive responded to like... 15 of these threads. anyways, boards break. so far ive snapped the tails off of 2 jeenyus's, 1 scotty arnold, 4 gnu dk's, and a burton seven. it just happens with every board company. i have friends that have broken tons of boards from diff comps too. you have to think about what youre doing on these things on a regular basis. tail blocks, presses, jumps where you land backseat causing torsional flex. it just happens, its a skinny piece of wood.

It's been trendy for so long. Makes the people who actually ride it/break it look like bandwagon-jumpers. I've ridden enough to have my own opinion on them. I wont buy their hardgoods again, but that's me.

i had sworn off burton back in 93, but then this year my shop manager handed me a burton proform card and said "your riding burton this year so deal with it" not a huge fan of the board i got (Baron ES164/ p1 bindings) but i love the boots. i actually think it isd the bindibngs i dont like, but the board does lack effective edge for how big it is. not as responsive a smy old stick either. but to say the least i have put well over 50 hard days on the boarsd from VT to Tahoe and everything has held together quite well.

all in all if i just put my drake teams back on it i think i would be happy.

I'll ride Burton outerwear and bindings. Nothing else.

Switch to Rome. Those guys know how to make a real good deck.
