					<description><![CDATA[The snowboard industry is constantly changing and adapting to the world around us.  The last couple years snowboarding hit a rough spot in the economy but is now bouncing back with companies, films and snowboarders developing snowboarding for how it will be into the future. One of those companies and the man behind it is Think Thank&#8217;s Jesse Burtner.  His snowboarding can be seen in many films but he&#8217;s also the filmmaker and brains behind the lens.  He&#8217;s been described as the hardest working man in snow biz and it&#8217;s no doubt that his passion for snowboarding can be seen from his Lib Tech pro model the box scratcher to his latest part in Think Thanks &#8220;Right Brain Left Brain.&#8221;  Jesse continues to inspire snowboarders around the world and is checking in to discuss Think Thank, relationships in snowboarding, costs of filming and helmets. [singlepic id=10320 w=400 h=484 float=] Shay: What&#8217;s your story and how did you begin Think Thank? Jesse: I&#8217;m a snowboarder who makes snowboard videos. I&#8217;ve been snowboarding and filming snowboarding for 21 years or so. I&#8217;ve always done both, snowboard and make movies, the two have always gone hand in hand for me. The first movies [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Times are rough in the snowboard industry where each day we hear of companies cutting employees, pro riders getting dropped and shops going under but what about companies working hard to survive and still giving the fans an opportunity to love a product? Owner of Bluebird Wax, Willie McMillon is trying to stay afloat during these times, offering up rad giveaways that even poor people can afford and with many changes in store, there&#8217;s a lot to be discussed on the state of the industry with Willie McMillon. [singlepic id=4459 w=320 h=240 float=center] Photo: Stephanie Peterka Shay:   Recently Bluebird became free of investors, why the change and how do you feel about it? Willie: We spent 8 years with them. They provided money, knowledge, resources and a warehouse. Ray taught me everything I know about business. He also taught me how to gamble. He got me into blackjack at our first trade show together. You have to be a good gambler to be a good business man. A responsible, profitable gamblin&#8217; man.
