Where's the option for
OBVIOUSLY NOT
Burton certainly makes enough profit on cheap crap to support a limited line of alpine boards if he had any inclination at alland maybe a 2 screw plate binding
N.I.C.E. at Schwietzer
metal binders, plastic boots, powder snow, vive la glisse

why so much Burton hate?
I've seen your bindings, maybe if hardbooters like you would buy new **** the big companies would give two ****s about making alpine gear.
you, a snowboarder, has probably given Leki more money in the last 20 years than companies that actually make snowboard gear.

Ummm...That Jake has nothing to do with Burton AFAIK
that's the "Life Is Good" Jake...probably a noboarder

Who cares? Jake has a smile on his face and life is definitely good.
Jake's dog is cute too.

wtf? every snowboard made can carve. 90% of the people i see with "hard boots" can't carve and just skid around "looking cool".
Alpine Ace
Looks to Me
like Jake is one happy, accomplished softbooter, who's mastered the carve and could care less what anyone thinks of his gear, his technique, or his clothes...
Vive la glisse!!

Interesting comment. Where are you when you see this 90%?

Fact: only Chris Klug looks "cool" in hardboots. the rest of us are dorks.

The mountain where i work everyday. Hard booters there are few. I actually met one of this sites members there, we can exclude him, (Catamount Ski and Ride area) and from what i've seen of the others its just skidding and people are afraid to tip the thing over.
When i see some one with an alpine board i expect to be running into trenches everywhere... no so much from what i see.
Skidder
why can't i just post a smiley?

Your 10-person a season sample is no reason to infer lameness on the rest of us. Go to a resort with a real carving crew and then make a judgement.The mountain where i work everyday.

maybe you should try out ski area that people actually want to ride?
would be like me saying most skier in maine are locals..... then I say I work at black mountain so I know.
just some tiny backwater hill that only a local would hit not really a good yardstick to measure a entire population of riders against.
Skidder
The ones that i see. Where did i say everyone?
I'm not some purist. I'll shred the hill infront of your house all day with no problems.

For cryin' out loud, people! I just want to do something fun and you drag all this negativity into it. What's wrong? Not getting any? Get with Jake's program or go home! Jake doesn't want to be around you.
Nice sidecut and no toe overhang. Today he's carving!
just getting from A to B

because he just sprayed his mom and little brother with a rad oldskool layback.
