OK, so I visited my local shop here in Oregon and saw this jacket in the display window:



I was really surprised to see it was BURTON and a really nice quality piece as well.  My forst impression was, "My goodness, what were the people at Burton thinking when they designed these things?"  But wait, there's more:

Wild eh?  I really don't think I will be seen with any of these items.  What about you?  Are you daring enough to wear these designs?

An important thing to remember before you buy any of these- when you toss back one drink too many at the lodge the night before do you really want to look at this all the next day while trying to ride?

Speaking of burton things that make you say hmmm, has anyone seen their "primo" line of snowboards? nasty, nasty, nasty

that'll keep kids off drugs. 1 look at that thing after a few too many -insertillegalsubstancehere- and you'll be puking for sure.

seriously though, check out everyone else's line. ugly and confused seems to be the theme this year.
which is really odd after last years ultra clean line.

seriously im so glad i got new stuff in 08. i havent found anything i like this season from any manufacturer.
only good thing about the ultra metro colorful theme of this year is when one of these guys riding this
stuff, when they fall you'll be able to see em even with the snow covering them.  :D
