| About Burton | |||
"The best part of my job is testing new product. Taking a fresh board out of the bag and running a hand over the factory-tune; strapping on a new generation of bindings; or ripping the hangtags off a jacket. Like the night before a road trip or a big pow day, the anticipation of what's to come is something we carry with us year round, drawing us all to the snow, wherever we can find it." - Jake Burton Meet the manufacturer of the finest Burton Snowboards, Burton Jackets, Burton Boots and Burton Pants. Meet Burton! The Burton Snowboard crew stands sideways. They sleep on floors in cramped resort hotel rooms. They put on their Burton Jackets, get up early and go to sleep late. Burton's been mocked. That did not stop them from making the finest Burton Jackets, Burton Snowboards, Burton Boots and Burton Pants. They've been turned away from resorts that won't have them. Burton is relentless. They dream it, they make it, they break it, they fix it. Burton creates. Burton destroys. Burton wrecks itself day in and day out and yet they stomp that one trick or find that one line that keeps them coming back. Burton progresses. Burton Snowboards is a rider driven company solely dedicated to creating the best snowboarding equipment on the planet. In 1995, Jake Burton founded the nonprofit Chill in Burlington, Vermont to bring snowboarding to kids who otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity. Now in 14 cities in the U.S. and Canada, Burton is still Chill's largest supporter, donating volunteers, funding, office space, and equipment so that 2200 inner city kids can escape the pavement this winter and head to the slopes. Burton Jackets, Burton Snowboards, Burton Boots, Burton Pants -- all Burton is now at Moosejaw and thejaw.com. About Chill: Chill with Burton Snowboards will serve over 2200 disadvantaged boys and girls in 14 North American cities this winter. Chill with Burton is an intervention program for disadvantaged inner-city kids, ages 10 to 18. Chill and Burton teach at-risk kids to snowboard over six weeks each winter, giving them everything they need for the experience: lift tickets, instruction, bus transportation and head-to-toe gear. Chill and Burton Jackets serves youth who are challenged by a multitude of issues: youth in group homes and foster care; with addictions; from the juvenile justice system; from alternative schools and community centers; those struggling with drugs, violence, excessive anger, or depression. Many of the kids have never left their cities, even their neighborhoods, and most have never been to the mountains. Chill and Burton Snowboard gives all of these kids the chance to shed their labels of addict, delinquent, troublemaker, or underachiever, and, through their own personal success, become a snowboarder. Kids want to learn to snowboard on a Burton Snowboard because it is fun, but it takes several lessons and lots of hard work to learn. We use the vehicle of snowboarding to help kids accomplish goals they never thought they could while teaching them some of the most important lessons of life: patience, persistence, respect, courage, responsibility, and pride-all through positive adult role models who treat the kids with respect and encouragement. Snowboarding, skiing, riding, freeriding, freestyle -- all with Burton Snowboards, Burton Jackets, Burton Boots and Burton Pants. Some Burton Gear too! Jake Burton founded Chill in 1995 in our hometown of Burlington, Vermont to bring snowboarding to kids who otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity. The program had such an immediate and profound impact that we have added new cities each year since to bring Chill to as many kids as possible. Since our inception, Chill has touched the lives of over 10,000 underprivileged kids.
