Dear Jake, snowboarding save my life from addiction and alcohoolism.
I really don\'t know how to describe my happiness even when I fall and hurt myself, I get up because I CAN and when I go snowboard I really can understanding why the life is good. From Italy with so much love, C.

Dear Jake,
as I`ve got my first Snowboard at the Age of 8 years, this time a \"Oxygen old school / hard CRAZY CREEK binding\" :-) i was fascinated by that sport, motivated from my uncle and finally influenced by the Community arround Burton.
My first article was a backback for my 2nd school level (2 years later) and here I got convinced of the LiveTime - Quality of Burton. This backback was almost every day with me - for school, for Boarding, to the lakes in Summer and for Parties later on - 7 years with hard marks but never lost any major stabiity. When I earned my first own money and thought my ride is good enough to buy a BURTON i followed the Austrian spelling \"BURTON fahren nur die G`störten\", which means that you must be crazy enough to invest in THE NO. 1 BOARD BRAND ever!! Finally I enjoyed my first freeride Board with BURTON boots for 10 years, I bought my first complete Boardwear of Burton and used it for 10 years and finally i ride also my BURTON CUSTOM for more than 10 years (at least 50 season days /a - all Mountain and back Country) - a lot of refurbishments and wax preparations have been needed - but if there is ONE EVERLASTING THING, than it`s your SPIRIT FOR A worldwide BOARDER COMMUNITY and BURTON SNOWBOARDs!!!

THANK you soooo much for influencing my life - ride on Jake!!

I’ve lived in Texas for my whole life then I moved to Colorado and when I first started snowboarding I knew it was the sport I wanted to do, Thank you!
