ok so yea. Burton boards do break. so do other boards. they also have way more boards out there than anyother company which is part of the reason you hear more about there boards breaking. I myself messed up 2 ravens this year. but you are forgetting one thing. burton has one of the best...
The s box is yet to come hopefully but their destroying the massive table because no one could get the speed to clear it( atleast thats what i heard) their adding some more hit's and fixing the last one and should have their half pipe in for this upcomming holiday week.
I was at jiminy today to and i agree 100% with earl. It was crazy. The rainbow box and straight box were amazingly nice and the spine/stepup was huge only 1 person cleared it. more work to be done.. i can't wait.
