If the burton sample sale is anything like the one in Denver, its worth checking out. Bunch of 12/13 AK gear at half off, had to splurge.

Sometimes living in a small town sucks. I wish I could make the Burton sample sale for sure. I would love to my hands on some cheaper AK gear.

Well it was nothing like the one you went to then.

What a joke, they didn't have any new hard goods. They had about 10 of last years beat up boards for $250 & up. Used boots & bindings for $150 & up each.
They all seemed really arrogant, so I asked one of of the snottier ones if he sold anything yet? Didn't think so.

The Salomon one had even less, but they were nice @ least.

I went to the 4 on 4th after cause it was fairly close.
One of the shops carries lots of less mainstream brands like Santa Cruz, Elan, Flow, Tech Nine, & a shit load of ones I never heard of.

I wrote some of the name down & googled them, some of the boards ended up being @ wiredsport.com. You could get any profile deck you wanted for under $200. There are so many diff profiles out there, maybe we could get a review on some of the cheapo ones?
I tried to fold em in half, no cracking sounds or anything.

I don't know how good Santa Cruz boards are but they look wicked.
They're light, snappy & barely over $150.
