rossi actually make pretty good decks but i'd rather stick icicles in my eyes before riding a ski companies deck.

Yeah I heard about burton by'n most of four star but I wasn't sure about jeenyus. Burton is the new Nike haha.... but burton still rocks my socks

Burton bought Forum, Jeenyus, Foursquare, and Special Blend... they also wanted to buy C1RCA and C1 from FSD but there was no way in hell that was going to happen. Its all under a company called The Program now which is just all the old FSD snow brand people.
Burton just pays teh bills.

burton is microsoft and lost almost 95% of it's credibility

That's a good statement but it means nothing if you don't back it up...

Burton makes good shit and they stand behind their product with killer warranties... can't deny that.

right on. for my point, i can't see any inovation coming from 'b' this season, and so it was 2004
- chz0
so who's got the killer inovative shit this year pascii?

I'll tend to agree with you things are a little stale, but I mean how much further can you tech a product. At some point it's going to take years to develope new tech. So their are going to be gaps every few years. I mean 2004 did have a good year, those new boots (can't remeber the name) as light as 32's, the T4, the Ipod Jacket and so on. So I figure 2 more seasons you're going to see another big slew of tech from them.
