Every so often I get some new gear from the boys at Burton. It is a great perk to working with them and having the good fortune of being friends with the man himself. Now more often than not I get exactly what I request from them as far as colorway, style etc. And then today happened. I was awaiting for the arrival of a new photo pack that Blotto was having sent to me. Very stoked. But then....
I come home from running some errands and on my doorstep is a box from Burton. Christmas in spring yippee! Upon opening the box I was suddenly paranoid that I was being Punked. [ see photo ] I mean if I was using this camera pack on the slopes it could be all cool in a stick out while trying to be alternative and awesome kind of way. But rolling around some city with a pack that screams either HEY! Come steal me! Or Pin me down and mace me for looking so faggy! Didn't really suit my daily routine. Either way I just don't think I can pull it off. Needless to say I am driving over to the LA flagship store to trade it in for the standard black Zoom Pack™
But hey, I gotta say thanks to the boys at Burton for keeping me geared up every year. You guys rock! Even if you do hate me.
