I get that they make money by making snowboarding seem all rebelious and cool and shit. but lame.

why is it ok for us to make fun of gapers but when burton does it, it's a terrible travesty?

it's because we are skiers too. it's like insulting your family.

you can call your mom or your dad or your sibling a bitch all day and not think anything of it, but as soon as someone else does it, you get all riled up.

also, anyone else think that skier has some sweet gorilla steeze?

Its not gapers its skiers.  They pretty much have their own version of history where Burton created the first snowboard and the war between skiers and snowboarders began.  In the real world the snowboard was invented before Jake Burton ever gave his first blow job and skiers actually ride the same list as snowboarders on a daily basis.  This isnt some jets vs sharks shit.  Its kids sliding down a hill.  Burton defines the term Butthurt.

still, you cant say that you haven't made fun of gapers whenever you're with any of your snowboarder friends on the lift or something.

think about it nowadays though, a lot of skiers ride with snowboarders too, and those snowboarders (assuming they liked riding with skiers) wouldnt rock that shirt, so i would just say whatever to burton. maybe some 7th grade cool sn0wb0arder kid is buying that shirt, but not anyone we would actually care about is wearing that

Crack is whack. Crack = Coke. Thus, Burton = Coked out monoskiers with their bindings mounted wrong.

Were slim fit T-shirts ever a good idea to begin with?

I think the general feeling is XXL or nothing

i mean practical sense, like one's head cannot be shot off and then appear again on said person's body

i don't think snowboarders actually hate skiers, i think they just try to in order to fit in

I'm sorry but from my experience Burton is totally down with skiers. If you look at the shirt it's obviously depicting traditional skiers who most people on here feel the same way toward.

At least snowboarders don't have mountains that skiers aren't allowed to go to.

Thats true, but if you think about it, its because boarding hasnt been big for long enough. I personally loath burton. But they do make decent stuff for pretty dang cheap
