burton snowboards will let you design your own board next season.. or so I hear.
im kind of bummed i just got a new board this ski season.
i bet it's probably going to be really expensive though.

design how? Just graphics?
What new board did you get this year shellie?
:P
- shellie0
just the graphics. they will even let you put sparkles in it.
Burton troop 151. its a good board for me, though it doesn't have many bells and whistles and classic angles.. I'm just starting to do jumps and grabs so i don't need anything too fancy. its actually a pretty fast board for me cos I'm short. i thought I'd grow into it more and it'd last a while but i think i might want a faster board.
I'm not a "brah" dood.. i swear.

Monson is letting people come into their factory and actually build their board from scratch, pretty cool marketing concept!

prior here in Whistler lets you build your board too.
shellie can you provide some sort of link on this burton self designed board? i know they sold a blank deck board this year called the dominant that was intended to be all graf'd up and stuff

So where does this wood stuff go?

I'm pretty sure its not on the Burton website yet. i heard this from someone at work... who's in the loop with someone that works with or at Burton. this is all hearsay.
i was actually posting to see if maybe someone else knew about it too.
don't believe me I'm a chronic liar. just kidding.
i'll try to find some info on it though.

2cent.. do you live in whistler?
- 2cent0
cool...keep me posted on that bit of info, i'm gonna see what i can dig up here...
...and yes, i do live in whistler, i'm actually staring at the peak of whistler mtn from my bedroom window as i type this...could see little dots of people making their way down if the mtn wasn't closed for the day.

shellie: you *are* a brah dood. you're from O.C. and we're all brah doods...
if burton does that, (let anyone design their boards) and if all other snowboard companies start doing that, then some designers i know may be out of jobs...

bet JDK loves this idea.
figures, i just bought the Seven this year. oh well, it's a rad board plus great design James Patterson.

Hmmm. Does anyone know where I can order custom gfx snowboards now? I'm looking for a company where I can order about 4 custom boards.
