The Burton World Tour blew into NYC on Wednesday, October 14th causing a white storm of madness as the team continued to promote the premiere of its new movie The “B.” The night kicked off at the Burton Flagship Store for a star-studded team rider autograph signing, live music, cocktails, and New York’s snowboard best.

Riders Shaun White, Mads Jonsson, Frederik Kalbermatten, Jussi Oksanen and Kelly Clark cheerfully signed movies and all sorts of paraphernalia for several hours before the movie dropped. Next stop was over to The Tribeca Cinemas for The “B” Premiere. The lines outside the theater were of epic proportions, but the crowed was a happy one. Tribeca Cinemas held it down and delivered two showings to a packed and rowdy house.

The B was filmed on location everywhere with good snow from Australia to Europe to Alaska, and showcases the riding of Jeremy Jones, Jussi Oksanen, Nicolas Müller, Frederik Kalbermatten, Keegan Valaika, and Shaun White. Also gracing the film are extra appearances by Danny Davis, Terje Haakonsen, Mason Aguirre, Kevin Pearce, Mads Jonsson, Natasza Zurek, Mikey Rencz, Luke Mitrani, Jack Mitrani, Mark Sollars, Charles Reid, Gabi Viteri, Spencer O’Brien, Mikkel Bang, Sani Alibabic, Marko Grilc, Peetu Piiroinen, Kim Rune Hansen, Stephan Maurer, Chris Sörman, Kazu Kokubo, and Kyle Mack.

Post film the after-party kicked into high gear with DJ A-Dog’s spinning at 171 East Broadway well into the morning hours- just the way Burton should throw it down in the city that never sleeps.
