Well, it’s over and if you missed it, you missed out. It was a crazy good time. I’ll be uploading this post with a link to all the photos as well as the winner’s names etc. But I’m tired so for now here is two pics of the event.

Oh, and if you’re like, "What the hell man, I though there was a lot more people there?" that’s cause this photo was taken towards the end of the night when people were filing in towards the stage for the best spot to see Strung Out and Good Riddance. Here’s a pic from the same spot looking the other direction…

Burton capstraps and you

November 17th, 2005 by jmcgrady

Representing the biggest advance in strap design in recent history, the Captrap’s seemingly simple design will impact your riding in revolutionary ways. Inspired by a hockey helmet’s chinstrap, the Capstrap™ pulls your heel into the binding while holding your foot down for unparalleled response. It delivers a more accurate fit without painful pressure points because you don’t have to crank it as tight as a normal toe strap.  Upgrade your  ride today…

  • Fits Burton C16, C14, P1, P1 Carbon, CFX, Mission, Lexa, Custom, Syncro, Ray and Freestyle
  • Fits some Drake models as well
