As far as I'm aware shops that sell skis cannot stock burton coalition gear, is this true?

Coalition is found only at shops with an unwavering, undying, & unapologetic commitment to Snowboarding.The ones that see through all the cowdoo . The ones that understand people who hike whatever's left on the hill in June. The ones who choose a path in life that co-exists with shredding. If you don't understand this, you might want to re-evaluate why you got into riding in the first place. For those who do understand, this is the 2008 Coalition line for the good folks who care. - Burton |

Is this the same Burton who purport to be underground while being the largest boarding corporate going?

Or
Coalition is found only at shops who do what we tell them. The ones that care more about image. The ones who sell to people that sit around all day spending daddys trust fund. The ones who only buy the biggest brands. If you don't understand this you might have gone riding on kit made by small companies who try to make a difference with stuff that might be more than one month old.

stab,
Pick up the phone then....internet/phone = same difference no?

But I get 30% discount if I buy through the shop I work in, and they sell skis (too many)

Fantastic - just a way of segmenting the market that they already own to ensure full MRRP sales, i
Incidentally look at the pish around some of the other "collections" e.g. the green mtn bollux - nothings as green as making your board or jacket last another year - but there's not much cash in that

Serious question are there any board shops that don't have at least some skis? Black Catz in Tignes is the most boarding orientated shop I've seen (they told me off for calling it a ski shop ) yet even they had some skis, admittedly they were only big mountain powder skis that were almost snowboard size but they were still skis.
fatbob, exactly.

He's young, a badge bunny . . . and sadly . . . has yet to discover he's only on the *rse end of snowGear's 'Cool Wall' cos he accidentally caught the velcro on his fly opening after he frottage'd the display panel at the 'cool end' . . . poor boy doesn't realise that chav and bling are the same thing . . . does he want to look like a Russian thug?

Masque, surely you should hate the sin, not the sinner!
Having said that, my views on Burton are well-known to stab (and anyone else who manages to stay awake through one of my rambling extra-long posts), so I admit it was a leading question...

You know it makes sense.
|
stab, if you want em bad enough suck it up and pay full price!

I thought Coalition was just a name of a pair of boots. I can't be hanging around all these shops that have an "unwavering, undying, & unapologetic commitment to Snowboarding".
The Coalition stuff will still come from the same sweatshop as the rest of the Burton range and will undoubtedly fall to bits after a week's boarding....
Overpriced, commercialised & pretty poor.
