go ahead and purchase more Burton and we'll see who's the original one.
Don't ask for everyones opinion if you can't deal with the fact negative comments are going to be said.

Every year I see upstarts come by my shop and want in. Every year its the same thing. Are you the next Candygrind? They? Me.Glad? Chances are yes. Everyone wants a piece of the snowboarding pie and everyone is claiming the I'm core or by snowboarders for snowboarders, or bringing the fun back to snowboarding. At the end of the day you did it to make money and thats final. If you didn't do it to make money you wouldn't have a website and be selling them you would do it for free. Its the same principals that the big companies follow.

So like I said it looks like every other boutiqish company on the market. The designs remind me a lot of either regurgitated crap from over 10 years ago I saw when I first started working in shops or slight parodies of things from the mainstream. The skull and cross bones with the bandage reminds me of the jackass logo. The NYC almost looks like the Rome Anthems topsheet from last year and actually reminds me of a shop back in NY that I think is now defunct called Krud. Co they had a logo just like that. The prices you're charging as an upstart are pretty steep when you don't have brand recognition and I'm guessing any recognizible pro's. Living in slummit county I've never heard of you and seeing as you're based out of Denver you're either marketing it up here or Echo.

So there its my .02 cents on this, take it for what its worth. Companies come and companies go big corporations stick around.

Oh and I'll have fun rocking my head to toe burton its glorious.

I'm gonna say this about dp, and then I'm done... cuz honestly I don't wanna argue or get into any debates on here, and those of you that know me know I'm not about that at all!! personally I like the style of the apparel, but thats just ME and I'm strange for sure... But the awesome thing about DP is that they DO care... I can't tell you how many textes I got from Ryan out riding at Hood... random hows the weather, how ya doing texts... He sponsor's 4 kids and don't even know how he affords that!! Honestly I believe they aren't out to make a PROFIT... I sent a check to them four weeks ago and it has yet to be cashed. if there ever was a "riders for the riders" company they would be it!! maybe they need some work in the eyes of you guys... but I've been out with pro riders, and they love his style. its not always about what YOU like, but what other people like, and it can be completly different from your own style... no I'm not into the whole tight pants don't know how your not splitting your jeans when your throwin down, but those kids can seriously kill it!! I'm not ever one who is ever willing to judge... just be real with who you are and its all good, ya know...

NO BABY SEALS DAVE!! EWWWW... THAT'S SAD...
