Burton Wheelie Locker Boardbag Giveaway

Have you ever wondered what happens to your bags after you check them at the airport? If you thought they are being gently handled, hell even if you realize your bags are probably tossed around like pinballs, you have no idea how bad it really is. Bag handlers the world over literally do not give a flying fuck about your stuff, as you can see from these videos below.

And there are plenty more videos just like this on Youtube... So now that you know what your bags will go through every time you check them, there are two conclusions we can make:

- Never EVER pack anything fragile or valuable in a checked bag. They are especially vicious to heavy/large shit like boardbags.

- Get the most durable bags you can find to keep your shit in one piece no matter how far some baggage handler fuck throws it.

That said, if you are looking into getting a solid boardbag that can take anything baggage handlers can dish out, year in, year out, look no further than a Burton boardbag. Consider it the gold standard of boardbags, if you will. This thing will take a licking and keep on ticking. Almost everyone here at METHOD HQ uses these bad boys on our travels around the world, and have done for many years in some cases.
This is our Senior Editor ADT's stick sack, it's a 166 Wheelie Board Case, a couple of years on it at this point ADT like to slide his Joystick up and down boxes all day... Bomb proof skate wheels Heavy duty zips all over this joint Is that all you got? These things can handle whatever punishment bag handlers can dish out. This is Editor in Chief TAG's boardbag, it is seriously as ancient as he is... TAG has lived out of this bag alone for several months on end, including all his shred gear and street clothes, toiletry kit, etc, etc... These are the old "Rollerblade"-style wheels, definitely not as stable as the newer skate-style wheels but they still work perfectly! Old Faithful, this thing has been literally around the world and back over the course of a decade: US, Canada, Japan, all over Europe, guess it needs to add NZ and South America before it finally kicks the bucket Unbreakable! This massive beast is Senior Editor Chriso McAlpine's 181 monster. It doubles as a bed from time to time, no joke! Notice the HEAVY tags, they are so spacious it's easy to go overboard and load these things up to ridiculous weights
Our good friends at the Big B hooked us up with one of these awesome boardbags to give to one of you lucky readers. And not just any old boardbag, the top of the line Wheelie Locker 166, the stretch limo of Burton boardbags. Your gear will be rolling in style!
