My old 98 burton custom 60 finally had enough. Even after I had to get a big coreshot repaired in it a couple of years ago. Base is now so thin if I even think about hitting a pebble it gets a whole in it. Any suggestions on what I should do with it to give it a fitting retirement send off? I can tell ya this board has been some places so it holds a special place in my heart.

I love my custom and I dont know if Ill ever ride another board. Mines an 05 LE with the ostrich leather and all. Big pimpin!

I say you make it into a bench. My aunt did that and its pretty damn sweet.

Keep it for wall art. I have a whole bunch of my father-in-law's old wooden skis that I'm storing for when we can finally get a ski house/condo. Or ..... DMC seems pretty adamant on burning it, but I'd wait to do that until next season to give it up to the snow gods.

"She turned you into a newt?"

"Well, I got better."

There's got to be some way to turn the board into a booze luge.

So wait DMC do you have a thing against Burton?

God no... I have a couple in the quiver.. A Fish and a Splitboard.. And use Mission bindings...
Some of my best friends have worked for Burton..

But - for sacrificing something to ULLR - it's best to REALLY make a sacrifice... And he REALLY loves that deck - so it would be a good sacrifice...

Burnins pretty extreme. I was thinking about the bench/ adirondak chair conversion have also seen people buy clock works in old boards

Hey your choice.... Whimp out and make a pretty chair with a soft cusion made from lace out of your snowboard - OR - give it a sendoff it deserves... By BURNING it...
