Crossroad Sports Inc., the parent company of North Carolina based online and brick and mortar boardsports retailers Boardparadise has apparently been forced into involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy by creditors, including Burton and Sole Technology, claiming a debt of nearly $800,000.
According to The Business Journal:
Three creditors filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of North Carolina Aug. 5, claiming Crossroad Sports owes them for “goods sold and delivered.”
The largest was The Burton Corp., a Burlington, Vt.-based maker of snowboards and accessories. Burton claims it is owed about $563,000.
A fourth creditor, Sole Technology Inc., based in Lake Forest, Calif., joined the petition Aug. 7, saying it is owed about $113,000.
Robert M. Weinstein, a Greensboro attorney representing the four creditors, said Crossroad Sports has until Aug. 27 to respond, which the company had not done as of Wednesday.
As recently as last year, the company had 12 sites in the Carolinas. The company had 80 employees and $8 million in revenues in 2007 and was one of the fastest-growing businesses in the Triad, according to Business Journal research.

Only option if paid with credit card is to try claim back through the credit card for goods not recieved it's worth a try.

Ya, I bought two boards and 1 sticker. All I got was the sticker! I filed through BBB but nothing happened, obviously. I might try that credit card thing though, I wasn't aware of it…..

ATTENTION READERS! The former owner of BP is back in business somehow, not only is he operating "BPRIDESHOP.COM" but he also is running a site called AXISRIDESHOP.COM, spread the word, its the SAME shit scam he's been running for years. its called bait and switch…….he sells you shit he doesn't have, has his so called customer service reps talk you into something different. oh yea, and then he doesn't pay the vendors that make the industry what it is and screws the local sales reps out of their commissions. support people who pay bills, don't shop at either of these sites and spread the word.
