burton on seshn

Burton is continuing it’s collabo with what I think is one of the most genius artist/brand collabo’s to date, the Andy Warhol Foundation. Burton is releasing this line of snowboards for the 2008/2009 fall/winter line and is sure to put some money in to the Burton B.A.. Check out more images after the jump… 

Burton loves skateboarding. To prove it, they bought Alien Workshop. Well they have now gone one step further in proving they are a legit skate company by constructing a halfpipe on the roof top of the Burton store in Melrose. 
Better hope you are connected though, there will be very limited access for roof-top seshn’s. From what we hear, only Burton employees and pros will be destroying the roof. Construction of the halfpipe began on monday and will be complete tonight.

Beijing, China is now the home to an indoor refrigerated snow dome housing 1 big booter and 2 smaller ones, two rails, a funbox, a couple barrel features, a wallride, and a poma lift so you don’t have to hike it.  They’re calling it the Burton Qiaobo Mellow Park but what it means is 365 days of riding a year… if you happen to live there.
 
 

So Burton has this program called Shopgirl. It is a community to connect all the girls working in snowboard shops across the country. Anyway, they decided to do interviews of girls they thought were worthy of writing about. These chose me as their first victim. Check it out.
 

Snowboarders everywhere are rejoicing in their hearts today due to a recent change of heart from Taos Resort execs. Thank you Taos for having the balls to open your ski resort to Snowboarding. We all commend you!
If you are out of the loop, there were only four resorts in the U.S. that don’t allow Snowboarding… Alta, Deer Valley, Mad River Glenn and Taos. Two in Utah? WTF! Wake up UTAH!! It’s kind of funny to think that just as Burton launched their Power to the Poachers campaign, Taos quickly opened it’s doors. Too bad other resorts have yet to follow.

Not only is Taos opening up it’s doors today for shredding, they are doing it in style with an assortment of activities going on including jam sessions, beer tasting and tubing. Wow, hear that UTAH RESORTS?? Take a lesson from the staff over at Taos and stop bending over for the two plankers. Snowboarders are people too and we share the same exact passion that you do. Let’s all get along, be one, and have fun!
As a gift of welcoming into the shred community, we here at Seshn would like to cordially present the following as a gift to anyone that is apart of the Taos staff. Yes this does include the hotel maids….
 
This is a half painted Zebra, but a Zebra nonetheless, enjoy!
