Burton Presents showcases snowboarding through the eyes of Burton’s team riders. This segment follows Burton Girls Kelly Clark, Kimmy Fasani, Enni Rukajärvi, Cilka Sadar, and Chloe Kim through the high points of the season. It starts off with a group trip to Austria; then dives right into last season’s contests with Kelly and Chloe. It’s a look at what drives us, from stomping runs at the Burton US Open to making pow turns in the Whistler backcountry with Kimmy Fasani. We live to be on snow, practicing, progressing, and—most of all—doing what we love.
The Dirksen Derby is a snowboard rally race and charity event hosted by Josh Dirksen in order to raise money for Tyler Eklund and his family. Tyler is recovering from a traumatic snowboard injury he sustained in 2007. The event, held at beautiful Mt. Bachelor, is also a great opportunity for many people in the snowboard industry to reunite after a long summer, brush up on their turns and support a great cause. With over 500 entries this year, its proving to be an annual stop for many and the crowd enjoying the clam chowder at the top of the course is always a pleasant group of friends old and new.
Riders: Ian Keay, Brian Skorupski, Max Lyons, Christian Connors, Will Healy, Alex Atno, Casey Willax, Eugene Stancato, Storm Rowe, Levi Gunzburg, Rory Bruder, and Shaun Murphy
