Burton Custom X Snowboard - 2010 BCS

Great Board, turns amazing. I am a big guy ~ 260lb so it turns very easy for me, got it after my first season was worried it would be too much, but it isn't (probably due to me being 60 over the recommended weight). It responds very well to an agressive style but you can just cruse the groomers, which it destroys.

The Burton Custom X is not for the faint of heart. The board is amazing. I am a park rat through and through, but I have to say I loved this board.

If you love to mob down the hill and want to be in control, get your self this Custom X and ride with a continuous smile the whole day. Really, I rode Steamboat on this deck and straight-lined from top to bottom. The snow was no good, but this held an edge the whole way down. I laughed the whole time. It was great. We then took off to the out of bounds zone and it kept killing it.

The base is the cream of the crop. Fast as hell, absorbs wax and holds it for a while. The core is jam packed with new updated features like Lighting Bolts, and Carbon I-Beam. Both of these only heighten the responsiveness and feel of the board.

If you like stiff responsive boards, Then this is for you. It is the best with out breaking the bank. Premium high-end snowboard that doesn't feel like it is going to fall apart. I live in the park, but when the opportunity arises to take this board for a spin I never pass it up.

I love it.

My first new board in awhile and I couldn't be happier. This board is just fast. Great on edge feel and very quick edge to edge. If you like to fly down the mountain, this is your board.

This board isn't for me. Maybe it's "too much" board for me as I like a more playful board. Fully realizing this, I cannot slander/libel anything that's good even though it's not for me.

I've spent the last few seasons on rockered boards and don't see myself going back to camber. But if rocker has got you frowning and you demand a board that's lively, stiff and pissed- the Custom X is for you.

It has all of Burton's high end features worth mentioning before the price gets too orbital (save the T7) for no real reason (Method, vapor).

But this thing will eat the mountain alive like an angry triceratops if you let it.

I gave it 3 stars because I do not consider it to be an all 'rounder as it can't really butter or press or be playful like some of Burton's other boards. Thus, not being a 'quiver' board. And these days, I'm shying away from boards that are only good for a specific purpose.

But if you're going out on hikes, building jumps and hitting huge features with no mellow days or mini-shred inbetween, then go ahead and buy one ONLY if feel confident in such an aggressive board 100% of the time.

In choppy snow, tight trees and racing to the powder, you leave everyone else in the dust.

Also, this isn't a board that needs to be replaced year after year, it is built to last.

Glad I could clear that up. Commence your hating...

I agree with Dakka, this board isn't for everybody. If you like to ride fast, in deep snow, or chop, in trees, aggressive, then you will prolly like this board. It's no good in the park. Not built for it. Dakka basically hit it all in his review. This is my main board. It works for the type of riding I like to do. The ICS system is a plus. Very easy to use and great feel below your feet.
