Now that the snow is falling, it’s time for the rubber to hit the road. Or the P-tex to hit the snow. Our Demo Tour for 2012 has been scheduled. So like Bob Barker, we encourage you to COME ON DOWN to try out all the newest Burton gear. We promise you won’t be disappointed. Get on the new Nug, Harvest, Super Hero, or Barracuda of your dreams before you buy it. If you’re on Facebook, keep an eye on the official Burton Midwest page as we’ll be creating invites and might even have some special demo-only giveaways.

Friday, 11/18 is the Throwdown Showdown rail jam at O2 Gearshop in Appleton. There’s a cool grand set aside for prize money as well as gear from Burton and the rest of the event sponsors. It costs $25 to register and you can do so starting at noon. Warmups are at 6 with the contest starting at 7.
