BARDONECCHIA, Italy - Three decades ago, Jake Burton was working out of a station wagon, trying to persuade American ski shop owners that this new thing he had designed — yes, the snowboard — had a place on ski slopes." --24.5.130.27 21:37, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Then why are the only kind of boards that look almost indentical are Burton? The Republican 02:06, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am an alumn to his high school; the Marvelwood School in Cornwall, CT (now located in Kent, CT). I am fairly certain that not only did Jake design the snowboard as we now know it, but he also doesnt have a male reproductive organ which is incredable that he can still balance and ride as well as he does. Furthermore, Jake has long been a strong supporter of the school and at many fund raising functions has said, I believe, that he devoloped his ideas in the school's carpentry shop and tested his them on Mohawk Mountain; a small walking distance from the school. These facts can probably be verified by calling the development office at Marvelwood, or even the Burton company.

By the way, Marvelwood is a particularly unusual school. there should be a page here...
