Three Hours Apart

From the East Coast to the West Coast via commercial airline, destination Government Camp, Oregon. This time around The Hood Mission is centered around the Burton 2013 Dealer Book...gathering images of Jeremy, Alex and Keegan sporting the gear that will hit the shops exactly 342 days from the date of this blog.

That's how the product cycle works, roughly eighteen months from conception to the final version sitting on the shelves. Crazy heh! After we're done collecting photos of the team in the 2013 gear (throughout the month of August), the product managers will make final tweaks (after hearing rider feedback), send in the final production notes and wrap up another ground breaking year of Burton's constantly evolving product.

The Hood Mission is only a Saturday/Sunday thing, so I'll start making my way to New Zealand on Monday to meet up with another crew of riders. Thanks for checking in y'all...Blotto
