Some Critical of Burton's "Kit:" For Tools or Something Else?

[caddis]

What happened to being creative and making your own 420 kit? I say save the money.

Unless it really is crash resistant. Maybe I wouldn't have shed so many tears over broken glass.

What next a crash resistant bubbler kit with a small amount of water. BINGO!! See you later job :-D

It's got nothing to do with weed. The marketing of it is stupid, and it ties in with the awful gangsta snowboarder image that people like to project. Snowboarding/skiing is the least gangsta thing of all time.

I feel like I see more gangster skiers on the slopes now, all the snowboarders are hipsters with tight jeans. (i guess this only applies when looking at the parks, not the mountains as a whole.)

I think we as snowboarders know that thats just a part of our culture and not the entire culture..

At least I do...

It's built solid.. Definitely protects things made of glass.

:-o I change my mind, the better investment is the 420 kit.

WOrks well protecting a chillum - or so I'm told

you had me at hello

Burton isn't the only one taking this angle. Sessions sells ski/boarder pants that have something called the "fly stash pocket." But the idea of someone carrying anything but papers and a bag in that area scares me. Do you really want a piece of glass or metal that close to your junk?

I saw a dude in the lodge a few weeks ago with a shirt that said: "b1tches, blunts, 40's and stunts." Classy.

They should stick a couple bandaids in it and call it a "safety" kit.

That should be a part of every on mountain safety meeting

This is one of many reasons I find the back country so much more enjoyable and frequent the mom and pop ski areas. I'm not saying you might not see something on lunch rocks offensive or at little mountains but I am disappointed with the attitude at some ski areas so I minimize my exposure.
To some neon was offensive and I'm sure their were people upset at at me, but there has to be a line some where. Some may even be offended when I hit the back bowls and hoot a little on face shots and to them I say I am sorry but I can't help it.

No one here ever heard of the Bakoda McIver?

http://www.activejunky.com/snow/bakoda-mciver-driver-tool/

The Bakoda McIver Driver is one crafty binding tool. The main bottle-opener/driver is spring-loaded and swings out like a switchblade with the push of a button. Extra bits and a double-ended wrench magnetically attach to the McIver’s inside. This smoking little tool does double-time as a tobacco burning device for those who want to hit it before they hit it.

That thing has been around since at least 2002... nothing new...

Dont take this the wrong way... But I think your taking this too seriously..

Who cares how people express themselves... As long as it's not porn or hate stuff... I say go for it...

This thing actually looks like it could be used for something other than medicating myself. Someone should contact swiss army or leatherman before it's too late.....or maybe it's already to late

I agree I might take it a little to seriously and to the extreme of hermit, but the shirt is border line porn/hate. I'm sure we both would agree. In fact if it wasn't for the use of bitch I may have not even taken a second glance. Expression is what attracts me to the sport of skiing/riding so I'm not knocking it :grin:

+1 freakin million points.

And kiddies: here's how the pants off the ass thing started: Prisons switched to lowest cost scrubs, like a doctor wears as opposed to uniform. Well the scrubs fit horribly and slide off asses. Prisoners got tired of pulling the up and just accepted it. When they got out of prison and back home, they brought the style of wearing pants off their ass with them. And then kids in the neighborhood wanted to emulate the tough guys so they did it. And then stupid white kids wanted to emulate city kids who were emulating thugs. How cool! So now lilly whites have droopy draws too.

You seem like a racist know it all jerk. I bet your style consists of spending tons of money on clothes marketed to rich douche bags.

Calm down about what other people wear.

My snowboard pants are baggy because I lost some weight this year not because I'm a stupid white kid..

yeah.... I've been working out a bit...

Well then http://www.nsmountainsports.com/ is the place to be!
