Official Burton Snowboard Tester

So the head guy from Burton R&D called up a while back and asked me to test some new fangled mini board for the park. I figured sure why not. So I meat them at Summit and grabbed what sure looked like nothing more than a couple lunch trays duct taped together ( yes that is how "duct" tape is spelled). So anyway I take the board up on the hill and begin strapping in. I was hopefull but had my doubts. So did the other kids around me. Take a look at the photo and you'll see what I mean. Anyway if you have not yet figured out the above info is not entirely accurate, well now you know. Truth is that its my daughters board and figured I would give it a whirl. It worked for about 30 feet before toe drag got the better part of my skills. But with 5 inches of toe drag it was inevitable.

It's refreshing to see that you are still holding strong to all things boarding. I've since left the church of skatin for the church of the "big ring" (cycling). Still good times.
