Secondly, regarding history burton snowboards one finds the company
founder, Jake to have a humble description of a company that started
in his garage and worked its' way through his dinning room, living
room, bedroom and out around the US, eventually leading to an office
in Austria, and Japan. It seems that through Jake's continued personal
interest and love of snowboarding as a sport the activity was popularized,
gained more and wider access and acceptance on ski slopes and eventually
was fully recognized as a competitive sport. Through his personal
pursuit, Jake continually upgraded the snowboards and honed a finer
and nimbler implement for use. The company has a great history, is
another story of "self made", as can be done in America
and is a truly rider driven company.
