Late Christmas Present…..Thanks to Burton

I just want to give a big up to Burton for standing behind their warranty. I had recently sent in a Custom X 164 Wide for warranty hoping to see a new deck arrive in the mail. The board was just under one year old. The good people over at Burton were able to send me a new deck (09) and I am pumped to get back on it as it is one of the best boards I have ever ridden. The whole process took about one week from when I sent it to them and received my new board. That is pretty impressive since I sent the busted one back before Christmas and they had holiday business and days off to deal with as well. This has been by far the best warranty department I have had to deal with. Thanks Burton.
