Sierra Says: Adding a fresh twist to a classic board, Burton has answered the people's demand for a definitive, all-mountain, reverse camber snowboard. The new Custom V-Rocker features the same rocker design that brought the Hero to fame last year, but with a stiffer flex and slightly more aggressive feel. This board is meant to be ridden anywhere from the park to the powder and will be best ...

Sierra Says: The X8 is a technical snowboard designed for the serious park rider. With a list of features longer than any park board on the market, the X8 reigns at the top of the freestyle food chain. The 2010 model still has the mid-soft flex, fast sintered base, and Park Fly III Core, but now comes equipped with the V-Rocker as well. We recommend this one for the established park guy that is l...

Sierra and Capita Say: After a HUGE debut last season, the Capita Horrorscope became an instant favorite in the park scene. For 2010, we decided to colab with our friends at Capita once again to create a Sierra-exclusive version. The new Sierrascope is a completely overhauled and upgraded Horrorscope to Sierra's specs with increased control, durability and steez. The Sierrascope will have a ...

Sierra Says: After making an awesome first-impression last year as a late release model, the Hero enters its sophomore season as a must-have item for any freestyle enthusiast. Equipped with Burton's exclusive V-Rocker and a softer flex pattern, this board is a blast on any park feature. Any intermediate or advanced rider will appreciate the Hero's playfulness in the park and its effortle...

Sierra Says: The Park Pickle is a new true twin banana styled park board that has a very unique geometry to it. There is a specific side to place your heels onto, no matter if you are regular or goofy. This is because the board has a deeper sidecut on its heel-side edge and a more gradual sidecut on its toe-side edge to make up for the different way your heels and toes work your turns. When riding...

Sierra Says: Riding a T6 down a steep groomed run is like opening up a Ferrari on the Autobahn. This is easily Burton's fastest, most aggressive snowboard and will go toe to toe with the meanest boards on the market. The secret behind the madness lies primarily in the Alumafly Core, which entails an aluminum honeycomb technology to create a lightweight, yet crazy strong feel. The Triax Respon...

Sierra Says: A standard for high performance snowboards, the Custom X is one of the most aggressive decks in Burton's lineup. With a fairly stiff flex, wax-lusting sintered base, lightweight core, and carbon/fiberglass laminates, the Custom X is designed to be ridden hard. For 2010, the introduction of the new Lightning Bolts add more attitude to this classic by increasing the edge-to-edge re...

Sierra Says: The Blunt is all about park progression, intended to promote you from progression park weenie to big league slugger in no time. This entire board is outfitted for freestyle triumph, from the Cruise Control Tech to the V-Rocker, the Rail Ready tune to the Negative Core Profile. We recommend this one for the guy with one thing on the mind- conquering every park feature in sight. Bur...

Sierra Says: The 2010 Dom has been renovated to meet the increasing demands of today's park riders. After gaining much praise for the V-Rocker on last years Hero, Burton decided to apply a similar technology, called the Party Rocker, to their flagship jib board for the new season. This shape is essentially a three-stage rocker, with zero camber between the bindings and rockers that lift the t...

Sierra Says: The ConDOM is Burton's softest-flexing park board and is ideal for jib features in the park. This camberless board also has Burton's exclusive Freebase, meaning the bottom of the board is slighty convex with the edges turning up from the center of the base. The benefit of this is a very loose and forgiving feel when sliding across non-snow obstacles. As if that wasn't e...

Sierra Says: The Destroyer is the keystone in Forum's freestyle lineup. The median in flex, tech, and price, this board is great for every type of freestyle riding and any type of freestyle rider. Add Forum Chilly Dog tech, reverse camber, and you have an even more versatile board. Of course you can ride this board anywhere, but the terrain park is its habitat. Jump or jib, pro comp or progr...

Sierra Says: The industry's newest ultra-premium snowboard, the Method is the plushest ride available. With this board, Burton used 33 years of research, development, trial, error, trial again, innovation, and evolution to produce a snowboard unlike anything ever created. Instead of fiberglass, the Method is held together by an all new S2 carbon composite that boasts 30% more strength than fi...

Sierra Says: Here at Sierra, we feel the Malolo is the ultimate resort powder board. It is incredible for deep snow conditions, yet still easy to ride when the fresh gets tracked out. A 20mm tapered shape, 2cm setback stance, and NEW S-Rocker design give you all the float you need to embrace Mother Earth's fury. Not overly aggressive, the Malolo is fine for any intermediate or advanced rider ...

Sierra Says: The Lip-Stick is a super enjoyable, all-mountain freestyle board. The V-Rocker shape and softer flex will give you the edge when turning tricks in the park, but also give you control when cruising the rest of the resort. Although you might see many top riders strapping into the Lip-Stick this season, you do not need to be queen of the mountain to ride this board' all you need is ...

Sierra Says: The Vapor has been around for a few years now, and every season it continues to evolve. The first thing everybody notices about this board is its incredibly lightweight design. The root of this weight reduction lies in the Vaportech Alumafly core, which entails an aluminum honeycomb material to reduce weight while increasing strength. Burton also replaced much of the fiberglass with a...

Sierra Says: The Scallywag is a new, mid-soft flexing, reverse-camber freestyle board. This deck is especially fun in the terrain park or casually buttering around the groomers. Plus, with its continuous rocker design, it effortlessly floats through powder. Forum Says: Make way for these tattooed rascals in the landing, because they will be stomping their tricks while flat-based riders are sweep...

Sierra Says: Looking for the ultimate backcountry experience? The Burton Fish is probably the board for you. With its 30mm tapered shape, 3 inch setback stance, and powder-specific S-Rocker, the Fish is designed purely for fresh snow conditions. While we wouldn't recommend this board for the resort rider, the Fish is a great choice for the avid powder hound that isn't afraid to explore ...

Sierra Says: Shaun White's weapon of mass destruction, the Operator is a directional freestyle board with a halfpipe influence. Whether you are catching big air, sliding boxes in the park, or just cruising the groomers, you will find that this board rides well in an assortment of conditions. Don't let Mr. White's video parts intimidate you, this board is still friendly enough for co...

Of course you can ride this board anywhere, but the terrain park is its habitat. Jump or jib, pro comp or progression park, you will see the Craft handle business everywhere. Forum Says: Some gi...

Sierra Says: The Supermodel X is basically an upgraded version of the popular freeride classic. With the X you will get the same 10mm taper and twin flex, but also a stiffer feel, faster base, and lighter core. Overall, the Supermodel X is a fast and aggressive freeride board built for bombing down groomed runs and riding in fresh snow. This board works well for the serious rider that mostly enjoy...

Sierra Says: The Manual is a pure jib board. Super soft in flex, twin in shape, and durable in construction, this board is more fun off-snow than on-snow. Because of its mellow nature, the Manual can still be enjoyed by the progressing newbie, although it is most popular among experienced jibbers. Forum Says: A jib stick for urban recons or shooting with a light kit, this buttery ride is the team...

Sierra Says: Whether you spend most of your time in the park or you just enjoy spreading your love around the resort, the Troop will be sure to impress pretty much about anybody. Compare the technical features of this board with anything else in the price range and you will quickly discover why the Troop is so popular among intermediate, all-mountain riders. Burton Says: Built with our most time-...

Sierra Says: Over the past decade, the Twin has earned itself the title as one of the most popular freestyle boards in the industry. A medium-soft flex, true twin shape, and sintered base all contribute to this boards popularity among park enthusiasts. While really anybody can ride the Twin, it will mostly be appreciated by the rider that exploits everything the park has to offer, from the biggest...
