Shitty deal, no matter how you feel about the company you can't deny the man was an innovator.

As much as I hate the company, the amount that that man accomplished is impressive and it is never good to hear about something like this happening

Well I do not care for Burton as a company or Burton himself, but cancer can be horrendous, so I can't take joy in it, but I can't say ++++vibes either (probably among the stupidest trends in internet forums and shit). Bad break nonetheless.

For sure. Wouldn't have been the same without him.


The original history of how it all came to be is pretty interesting. From trays to the snurfer, to people throwing down triple corks on modern snowboards.


Pretty dope. Hopefully he'll get through it alright and be okay in the end

Damn, that's pretty shitty, but it sounds like they caught it early and he has an extremely high chance of recovery. He's not going to die lol.

I bet he is more pissed about the fact that he is probably going to loose one of his balls than the fact that he has cancer.

+vibes to him, but it seems like he should be fine.

Burton used to be a totally different company. 10+ years ago there stuff was awesome and some of the best in the business.


I'm not a fan of the newer stuff though, especially the change to the bindings. That said, they do work for a lot of people. I just can't ride a highback that high.

Sport wouldn't be anywhere close to where it is today though

Honestly, we would be nowhere with out this guy. Although I don't like snowboarders, nobody really deserves cancer. Do hope he gets better.

people that hate burton have no idea what they're talking about, few companies in the world are as legit.


stoked to hear he's gonna be alright, nice to have some good news in winter sports this week.

Fucking absolutely this. Everyone on NS just jumps on the Burton hate wagon because they don't know any better and hate Shaun White. I bet if you asked the majority of kids on here why they hate Burton, they'd be like, "Uhhh they uhh don't support skiing and shit, so fuck them."

The quality changed, the price changed. You don't get as much bang for your buck. Burton used to be the best. On the other hand their customer service is amazing. If anything happens they'll hook you up.


Burton of the past > Burton of the present.
