Other Thoughts: I've riden plenty of Burton boards, even back to the ol' BMC model, and this is by far my favorite! I also have a 2008 Dominant and I'm pretty reluctant on riding it again because this board does it all. I'm only 5'7" and like 125 lbs, and this thing is stable on groomers going 40+ mph. And yes, I bring my GPS cuz my friends and I are adrenaline junkies. ;) It's snappy enough to pop up onto just about anything from rails to trail sides without even trying, and the edges hold like a rice-burner on a track. This board will give any beginner confidence while still giving the advanced rider the time of their life. And at 50% off, you better buy it!!!
