Blog Deuce Deuce (22)(B) response to Allison Ray

This blog is in response to Allison Ray's blog in which she asks the question: "Do you think putting their (burton) name on huge events such as red bull and the olympics, or Burton and the x-games competitions makes them be perceived as better than other brands like Amp Energy or GNU? Does this make you buy the more expensive-known brand over the smaller ones?"

I think that bigger companies such as Burton, since they have been around since the start of snowboarding, get to put their names on the bigger events because they have the money to sponsor the bigger events. I think that people who may not be snowboarders or skiiers, may see Burton and think that is the best brand out there. But people who do partake in snowboarding, know that though burton is a quality company, there are many different alternatives to burton and they each have something unique to offer.
