so the new site launched today and wow...talk about a re-vamp...now all the burton brands can be found at burton.com instead of their respected urls and they even worked in a ecommerce side to purchase directly from them.
times have been tough for the leaders in this industry as of late...is being able to buy straight from the manufacturer a sign of things to come?

hmmm... so did JDK do this then? I shudda taken that job...
- 2cent0
me thinks JDK didn't do this one...if anything they may have contributed.
Burton opened an inhouse designlab of sorts called The Syndicate which they do pretty much all the online stuff through.

JDK had absolutely NOTHING to do with this website. Sorry.

i hears ya...nothin better than the paid for seasons pass from the employer...i love that perk indeed...specially when one goes for $1700 in this town!

that's what i figured ba...i know the syndicate was developed as a way to cut costs...i'm sure JDK doesn't come sheap.

i rocked the type sorel boots that my dad uses to shovel the driveway...back in the day that's all there was...or you could buy burtons version of the same boot for like 100 bucks more.
i am still amazed i didn't break my ankles...specially when "no-backs" were all the rage...what a dumbass idea.

yeah that's right Craig Kelly died, that was said, he was my hero when I was 20 in '93.
