The Burton NUG

Dewey — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 20:25:30 +0000

Look at that Little Nugget..so cute.. When JG from Burton sent me the prototype Nug 46 last winter I thought I would be stoked on it for riding up at Big Bear and jibbing around. He Told me it wasn’t a jib board,,, and I made the mistake of not taking his word on it,, and ended up eating my words again. I spent most of the Spring season riding the Nug 46 in a bunch of conditions at ski resorts, Groomers, Pipe runs, jumps,,and some sick Powder up in the NW. I fell in love with the control you have with this board. I still don’t understand how a 146 cm board can feel so stable at speeds,, and also float in powder. You’ll have to ask JG about that……………… My surfboards are getting shorter,, now my snowboards are getting shorter and I’m having the most fun ever Dave Downing.

RV Does Snowfest Santa Clara

Dewey — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:14:11 +0000

Snowfest went to Santa Clara this past weekend and the RV was representing….
It was the inaugrial event for them in the South Bay and went head to head with Ski Dazzle…..from the looks of the crowds – Snowfest won. Lombardi Sports, Destinatin 1440and Porters were there in force slinging ’09 closeouts. At times the line to pay at Destination 1440 was over 1 hour long! Kirkwood was flying the banner (literally) signing up folks for passes and pimping the Progression programs….

Burton Rv Goes to Alcatraz, GGB And Sports Basement

Dewey — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:53:54 +0000

Stopped over at “The Rock” and Golden Gate Bridge on the way to Sports Basement’s Snowfest at their Presidio location. The crew at Sports Basement was pumped on the rig. The focus of the sale was definetly inside, but customers got a good gander at it as they went in – we had all the lights running and The B Movie blaring on the flat screen….. The sale was a bit slow for Hardgoods but plenty of peeps shopping and having a good time. Squaw valley is really brining people out of the woodwork with thier super inexpensive passes they sold this summer.. lots of people getting new gear because of it.

From Sports Basement we rolled the beast to Downtown SF! Not the easiest of feats but SFO was having their “Pray for Snow” party at 111 Minna and we wanted to represent. We couldn’t secure a parking permit so we lapped the venue about a million times.. so mamy people gawking! Drivin this thing in SF is like taking a test… Video to Follow..

Burton RV goes to Monterey Peninsula

Dewey — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:41:03 +0000

Had an evening clinic down in Monterey with On The Beach Surf Shop and an early afternoon clinic at the REI in Marina – they don’t get snow down there on the coast so I brought the RV! After the clinic I had the entire REI action-sports staff come in and check it out, they were pumped.Needed to burn off some fuel as this weekends event won’t allow me in with over 1/8th of a tank of gas (this thing either has the hugest gas tank ever or actually gets good mileage – used only just over a 1/4 of a tank going from SF to Monterey Peninsula and back!).

Kelly and the crew at OTB were super excited to see the rig…there were customers in the store when I pulled up that were blown away as they had passed me on the freeway a few hours earlier! Kelly took some pics and had the rig in front of his store on Facebook w/in minutes and people were hitting him up asking if Shaun White was in it…
