Haters are justified...even though this is the snowboarding, its all about the dollars.
The rules are that you have to advertise in the magazine for your boards to even get tested.
Endeavor and option didn't even get tested. Pretty much all the small U.S. and Canadian companies got completely shafted. Now its fine that Burton is big and whatever, but if your so good why wouldn't you want your product to go up blind against any and everyone? And after not winning anything last year, why so much all of a sudden? And aren't you one of transworlds biggest advertising clients, if not the biggest? hmmmm fishy. One of the artists at endeavor snowboards works as a photographer for transworld. He was soo pissed when none of their boards were tested so he called and they told him sorry, but you have to buy advertising or we wont test your boards. Now You can Legitimately be Angry.
