Burton Custom X
Burton Custom X
3/25/2009


Award Nominations: Best All Mountain, Best Powder Board, Best Freeride Board
Burton Custom X ICS 159W
Terrain Use: Speed, Powder, Carving, Backcountry, Groomers, All Mountain
Pros: Durable, lightweight, Easy to carve, Stable at high speeds, Popular model, Strong edgehold, Popular on mountain, Well known brand
Other Thoughts: Speed, speed, speed!! This thing is fast! Not so fast on slow wet snow or small inclines but ANY other surface and decent inclines and this thing takes off like a rocket with extreme control and stability. The edges are unreal. They will cut into anything. In fact its actually hard to catch an edge because it rips right through anything, from powder to ice. Dont run your friend over or they might loose a digit. Control is unimaginable until you ride it. As for a railroad, either your board is to big or learn to ride the bumps. I took this thing to the top of Park City 5 days in a row with a busted ankle and semi icy moguls. Was still the first one down every time with only one working foot. Jumping and Parks were not doable with stupid ankle (see pic) but flex/stiffness is a pro in all other ridding conditions. Side note, this thing flat rides awsome. Where other boards chatter or have to be ridden on an edge the Custom rides flat and stable allowing for more comfort and speed. I cant wait until next season when I can take this God out with two working feet. If you're thinking about buying this board stop thinking and go get your wallet NOW before its gone! One run on the Burton Bullet with Burton bindings and my ankle couldn't handle it. Back to the Custom and everything was fine. Burton Custom X ICS 159W w/ C02 EST You can use other bindings as the board comes with an adapter, but why would you put regular crappy tires on a Ferrari?

Fit: fits fine
Width: fits fine
Straps: Best straps ever
Stop crying and open your wallet!
Terrain Use: Powder, Carving, Groomers, All Mountain
Pros: Adjustability, Easy in & out, Boot hold, Durable, Good construction quality, Lightweight, Comfortable, Well known brand, Easy installation
Other Thoughts: Absolutely Fabulous! Combined with the Burton Custom X ICS I was able to ride for 5 days straight in Park City after wrecking my ankle 1 day before in a dirt bike accident (Check photo). Not only ride but totally shred the mountain. Suburb comfort and response. After one run with a friends Burton Bullett and Burton bindings I wanted my board back and he's now looking to buy the same setup. There 50% off, stop crying. Ill never use regular bindings again. Cant wait to see how it handles in the park next year.

Get it!
Terrain Use: Groomers, All Mountain, All Mountain
Good For: Spring Day, Blue Bird Powder Day, Cloudy and Cold, Cold and Blustery Day
Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Warm, Waterproof
Other Thoughts: Great shell. Yes use layers for any thing under 34 degrees. Enough pockets for ipod, cell phone, camera, keys and thats just the left side. Has great wind protection for the face. Shell, fleece and dry logic shirt were enough to keep warm at 20 degrees with high winds. Cant wait to get the pants. If any one knows where I can find the blue AK's pm me. Only 4 stars because I just bought my GF a better jacket for the same price.
