Burton's made some weird decisions lately. They decided not to re-sign contracts with some of the best riders around. I don't want to enter in a polemic against Burton, but I have to say that I agree with Jim "JMZ" Zbinden: "Burton has lost it's original core philisophy, now they're only in it for profit, killing the team and projects like Un-Inc is gonna send them to the grave..."
