Burton Method Snowboard - 09/10 - 2009 BCS

I would never have bought that board as a beginner. There are WAY more appropriate boards for starters . . . the Method is geared more to freestyle-prone riders, and as a beginner, I doubt you're doing rails and gap jumps on day 2. Just remember, the most expensive board is not always the best.

If you are a baller enough to afford this board!

#1) props to you... you've done well for yourself

#2) it rides similar to a Burton Custom... but with the quicker reaction time of an alumafly core. It is not ideal for beginners but if you got it, flaunt it. It does have a medium flex and a great shape to it!!! you can easily grow into after a few more weeks of riding.

p.s. Think of it as a lamborghini... they don't do so well off road. They are high performance sports cars. With that, don't ride this board on terrain that you know is rocky as a core shot is not s easy to fix.

All in all, this board is next level and will truly blow your mind!!!

I know this thread is a little old and I don't know what  you ultimately decided to spend your money on, but here are a few thoughts:
As with most things, your get what you pay for. While I encourage spending money on a board I hope you are thinking in terms of set up, which you made no mention of, because there isn't a board out there  that can compensate for crapy bindings and boots. Secondly, if your have to as the question, " is this board for me", the. Chances are RIGHT NOW it is not..as you are still discovering how you want to ride..for now invest in something a little more forgiving.. At least until you a proficient enough rider..Not only will our ass, but your base and topsheet will thank u for it later.. Alas this comes from someone whose first board was a Ride Concept UL, a higher end board. I love my board, but ended up buying another board that was better suited fr buttering and playing around in the park. 

if you have enough money to buy this board, why dont you just buy a park board? Just a suggestion. Maybe buy a park board for 500 and an other board for 1000. Just my 2 cents.

I don't know why they gave you 'thumbs down', Lukas. You are making total sense.

Ha, two thumbs downs for what? it wasn't me who gave you the thumbs down Lukas, i appreciated the help, but now to prove the laws of tit for tat, you can add another thumbs down to your tally bruhh. enjoy

I dont think they make a wide version of this board. The burton site doesnt have a wide board version of the method.
