The BOARDWORLD Forums ran from 2009 to 2021 and are now closed and viewable here as an archive
Jake has been riding at Weigelies for a while now, so he took a few minutes before riding to talk about what got him excited about snowboarding and what it took to get Burton started, then goes and makes a bunch of pow turns to make us all jealous.
“Snowboarding with Jake Burton will now be checked off life’s list of things to do. It is classy, raw, rude ,and pure all at the same time. Real snowboarders are just basically being themselves by loving what they do. When you get a few snowboarders in a helicopter the FUN bar gets raised real high. Add a little bit of powder snow in the mix and the next thing you know Mike Weigele’s lobster appetizers don’t seem to be the best part of the trip anymore. Thanks Jake!” -Tim Manning
