We'll get PSR to move up here...train relentlessly, get northern VT to secede to Canada, take over the known universe, and every kid will get a Fullbag at Christmas...board that is.

Yup, Ron, did miss that; The topneck of my beer must've got in the way,eh?
Mrs. S. rides a Volkl, btw. She's not sponsorred that I know of. Maybe someone could change that with a good voucher-letter to the right company?
However, Mrs. Powers (Ross' mom) does get Burton stuff, but she also teaches JISP at Bromley.
So, nevermind the racing rant, just be aware that the 'big guys' in snowboarding quit helping racers about a decade ago, because "impotence slides" on rails are Way Cooler than going fast!

Uh, NO... Schwipp uses (not 'rides for') Nitro boards for Pipe + Park, and Rides Prior for BX + Racing. Nitro, nice as they are, do not make Racing decks anymore... As for Burton, they backed their scared butts outa racing some 10 years ago, as the big ol' bad Ski Companies had a lock on the FIS/Olympic angle, Burton quit racing, went totally jib/pipe/X-Games. Not a bad move in retrospect, publicity-wise, but Racing in snowboarding has only barely survived. I know, I used to Coach Racers, I now make bits for PlasmaCutters as a machinist. Which do you think I'd rather do for a livin'? Yeah, Burton, whatever....
