a skate company is next... i would have said Element but Billabong bought them last year.
Burton = overrated, overpriced products living on the fact that Jake Burton was core back in the day + Terje still reps them.
Maybe Quiksilver will buy them next year (Al Merrick/Slater connection too)

um if burton had wanted a skate company or a connection to skate they would surely have bought Circa when they bought the rest of the fourstar distribtuion family that owned, Forum, SB, Foursquare and at the time Circa - as it was they bought all but Circa from Fourstar Distribution...
And I'm not sure Quik are big enough to buyout the Big B...
But Skate does make sense - just don't see where!!!
