I got a Skate Banana 56 with Ride Rx binders 4yrs ago as gift. It was my third board, first time with reverse camber. Being so catch free it was awesome for flat tricks, jumps, best of all in POW. Replaced it for this season for a MUCH much lighter Process V rocker 55, which rides so much better than the Banana, being a rocker it might as well be hella flexible and the lib is as stiff as cascade concrete. After the mountain got completely tracke out a couple weeks into this season I pulled out the Aftermath. I was blown away, best day of snowboarding in a grip. After 4yrs I completely forgot what a camber board feels like to ride on firm surface conditions. AMAZING. So much more pop than a rocker, such a smoother, more consistent ride. It holds an edge very well(rockers loose edge hold very easily, on purpose of course), I can carve hard enough to give myself butterflies on this beast. When my dreams came true and snowflakes fell I did pull the Process V rocker back out, the camber seems to dive into the soft stuff much easier. Two boards are better than one anyway. Did I mention it's got one of the cleanest, dopest graphics ever laid on a board?

My other board is an Arbor Coda 166 Wide. I'm 6' tall and 210. Nice fast board especially in powder but the reverse camber gets a little squirrely on ice and hard pack.

I rode a 2012 Vapor at Burton demo days at mammoth and loved it... in this year's ice and hard groomer conditions it was super stable and fast. I also tried a Custom Flying V, a pretty aggressive reverse camber board, and that sucker almost killed me, it got so squirrely on hard pack.

Well, I loved the Vapor but I can't afford that so I did a bunch of research and figured out that the Aftermath is sort of a poor man's Vapor... gives me most of what I loved about the Vapor, its almost as light, almost as poppy, and has awesome edges for handling ice and hard pack. I'm a fan of not dying, so I went ahead and got the board. Beautiful but not obnoxious board, and Evo really hooked me up with an amazing price on a 2011.

For those curious about fit, I wear a size 12 boot, I got a 158 board and while I was initially worried about overhanging too much, it worked out perfect. I put large cartel est's on it, I'm goofy with 18 degrees forward, negative 12 back, about 1.7 positive offset on both feet so a little wide but not totally duckfooted.

With the Burton Raptors (with footprint reduction tech), I had zero problem with overhang, rotating the board on edge to 45 degrees there was still plenty of room, and I don't get anywhere near that aggressive on hill.

I also tried size 12 Salomon Dialogues and DC Ceptors on this setup and they were bigger boots... maybe would have overhang problems but probably not, also I noticed they didn't fit as perfectly into the cartel est's as the raptors but would probably have been fine.

So I took my brand new EST setup to Mammoth this last weekend and I gotta tell you it was AWESOME, so tight and controlled, turns like an extension of my thoughts, super comfy for my feet, after 6 hours of nonstop hard riding hardpack groomers and occasional ice patches my legs and feet felt great and it never got squirrely.

Plus the base is super fast, I didn't get caught in any flat spots and I hit a new personal speed record.

I'm in love. Thanks Evo for hooking me up with the board and boots!!

Solid board and fast as hell. I'm a little underwhelmed with it in the park, but it's definitely not bad in there. (I prefer downhill anyways.)

Very light.

Surface scratches very easily. After the first day, it fairly scratched up.

Camber is back!
This board is a great alternative to all the rockered noodles that are on the market.
For anyone who hasn't been fully sold on the rocker craze, or who can still remember what it feels like to be in full control while your riding, this is the board for you!
The squeezebox also adds a lot of pop making this board even more responsive and fun!

15th season riding in the Northeast. Handles the dust on crust we have here very well. Good pop when launching over debris in the glades or fallen skiers. Quick flip from edge to edge. My first time with this type of bindings - I can twist the board easily for super fast carving. Nice board.

Overall great board , but still is a little stiffer than I had anticipated by the product description. Jumps are easier than with my custom X , and a little more manoverable

Bought this Board for my son for xmas. He loves it and uses it for his boarder cross races and for his free riding. He loves everything about it.

Great Board, great ride, and everything I was looking for. The top got dinged firly easily. I crack a piece of the graphic, but the bottom is solid and tough. It's perfect for any advance rider looking for a board that performs real nicely all around the mountain.

The board is great really the only con is that I needed to buy new disc ([$]) to adapt my flow bindings to this new m6 fixation. Not all bindings are compatible I was lucky

This is the first board. I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I would recommend this board to anyone whether amateur or expert. With the added wiring technology you can really feel the flex in the ride. Carving on North East trails with ice is no issue. With the added M6 transition kit changing stance is simple and quick. The only issue I've had is that the black top shows a lot of wear and tear (scratches, dings, etc).

I haven't tried every board on the market, but I highly doubt that I'll find a better board than this one.

Used for mountain riding and park. Board rocks them both.

Comments about Burton Aftermath Squeezebox Snowboard 2011:

Didn't have much snow when I first used it. but it had great pop. Hope I get to go again later this season.

Finally got to try out this board and it has incredible edge hold and pop. Saved a boatload of money since its last years model and was on sale, but still an excellent top quality board!

This is the first board that I've OWNED. I don't know much about them, but I do like to go fast and this board seems to handle the speed well. I haven't noticed any weird vibrations and feel safe at all times. It's also nice that it seems to grip well and allow me to make quick, brisk turns down the mountain. Overall seems great!

I Love this board, I'm a 5' 7" 125lb female with a size 7 woman's shoe & I love to go fast. There isn't another board out there that is this stiff and narrow, most other boards that can hold speed like this are way too wide for a small foot. I haven been this excited about a board in years!!!
