According to Legendary rider and all-around nice guy, The Tom Burt™, Temple Cummins won the 2010 L.B.S. without his sponsor's main ingredients; Magna-traction and rocker, or BTX.
After asking Mervin Designer and MTX/BTX brain child, Pete Saari, and Mervin Mfg. founder, Mike Olson, if he could have his board made without the bent edges and semi-broken-reduced-running-edge=slowness marketing ploy, both designer and bowl-cut founder responded with a firm-no.
Temple, always a smooth operator in challenging terrain, patiently waited for both Saari and Olson to make their way to Dueuchland's ISPO show. Once the squiggle brothers were past Sea-Tac's T.S.A., Temple had his blue collar brethren shape him his board with a ''make sense sidecut'' and full-contact running edges; as most of us know, maximum speed is achieved through maximum horsepower.
Temple's end result was nailing first place and pulling a 1:43:08 on his full-contact GNU. Mervin's end result was that of spinning the shit out of anything and turning it into Platinum for the idiots, telling them all, that the Billy Goat rallied to win it on Mervin's relaxed C2 BTX system (which, for the record, was implemented by team riders that hate BTX):
