Burton and Suzuki are not only teaming up for the Burton European Open 2008 and the Burton AM Tour 2007/08, they have also come up with a fantastic online design contest. The contest website is now live, offering budding designers the chance to design their own board and actually have it made. Not only that, the winning designer will also take home a brand new Suzuki Grand Vitara Freeride car in the design of their winning board graphics!

Taking part is easy: go to the Burton and Suzuki Freeride website and download the template for a board shape, then design your very own board and upload the file. The qualification is divided into 3 heats, and you can participate in all three (even with the same design):

• Heat 1: 15 November - 31 December 2007
• Heat 2: 1 January - 31 January 2008
• Heat 3: 1 February - 28 February 2008

In each heat, the Top 5 designs which have received the highest rating from other users win a Burton Goodie Bag and are qualified for the finals. Visit the site to learn more.
