Burton Custom X Snowboard 2012: The Burton Custom X Snowboard is a high performance board for killer riders who thrive off speed, tricks and pure performance. Featuring the incredibly strong Dragonfly™ core, Frostbite edges, a super stiff camber, and Directional Shape; the Burton Custom X combines amazing response with even better edge control and strength-to-weight ratio. Plus with more strategic pop and snap the Burton Custom X kills it everywhere from powder to pipe.
Flex
Flex rating: 7 (1 soft -10 stiff)
Stiff flex handles everything from 22 foot rock hard pipe walls to 24 inch pow days. It is built for competitive riders who need the most power, tech and performance out of their board.
Twin flex is perfectly symmetrical from tip to tail for a balanced ride that’s equally versatile regular or switch, frontside or backside.
Construction and Core
Dragonfly™ core features over 500 independent laminations, oriented to result in superior weight-savings, strength and energized response. Multizone EGD™ grain direction puts the wood in four separate zones, perpendicular to the core and adjacent to the channel for ultimate strength and edge control.
Vaporskin™ with Triax™ Fiberglass has a minimized, carbon-based topsheet membrane that drops weight while magnifying board feel and snap, allowing you to navigate through terrain with newfound intuition.
Lightning Bolts Hi-Voltage are energy transfer strands that allows the board to be more responsive without making it stiff.
The M6 Channel focuses power through a central connection that acts as a backbone for the board’s internal tech and allows you to micro-adjust your stance width and angles with all binding formats.
Infinite Ride™ assure the board will maintain its flex, pop and feel from day one and for years to come.
Shape
Camber offers a snappy suspension and distributes weight evenly over the entire length of the board allowing for smooth continuous edge control from tip to tail
Directional Shape is the most versatile snowboard shape, designed with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while still giving you plenty of float, flow and control.
Pro-Tip™ tapered tip and tail thickness reduces swing weight for easier mobility.
Sidewalls, Edges and Base
Slantwall Sidewall is a 28° profile that creates consistent edge hold and cuts like a knife Sidewall is a 28° profile that creates consistent edge hold and cuts like a knife.
Sintered WFO base infuses specially formulated wax deep into the pores of the extra-absorbent high-density sintered material resulting in an ultra-durable base that stays wide open all season.
Squeezebox ramps up the core profile on the edges of bindings for better edge control.
Frostbite Edges beneath bindings extend out slightly for tremendous edge-hold on hard, icy conditions.

Comments about Burton Custom X Snowboard 2012:

I have been riding for 9 seasons now. This is my 2nd board. After it seems like everyone who reviews this board tries to scare you away from it, I had to post a review myself. I consider myself an advanced rider. Maybe not quite an expert yet, but I would be if I rode more often each season... only have so much time for it. I have looked at a lot of different boards, and haven't found one stiffer than the X. The reason I bought it is that I feel it best suits my riding style -- bombing down the hill and carving fast through narrow slopes, trails or the woods. It does all those things extremely well and it is a BLAST to ride. I was grinning from ear to ear the 1st day on this thing. I haven't ridden previous models, but I think the Channel makes this board even that much more awesome. Essentially you have a big piece of rubber between your boot and the board. Extremely comfortable and more responsive than a conventional binding. I don't know why more people aren't looking at Burton boards just for this technological advancement alone. Too many riders hate on Burton for stupid reasons. Try one of their Channel/EST boards before you talk about how your board is better. Unlike other reviewers of the X, I found it to be very forgiving. In groomed and in icy conditions this board was very responsive, but not to the point that you would easily kill yourself catching an edge all the time. It was EASIER for me to ride than the "beginner-intermediate" camber board I used to ride! So that is what I might disagree with the other reviewers on. It is actually an easy board to ride. It's intimidating (especially for me buying it without demoing it) until you ride it. Should a new snowboarder try it? Probably not, but maybe they wouldn't want to try a cambered board anyway. If you're an intermediate rider though, this board will help you step up your game. I started with a cambered board though, so maybe that's why it was easy for me to transition to this board. It is a confidence inspiring board. The awesome pop that this board has is actually a lot of fun. I actually jumped right over a little kid that was in my way coming off the lift. Not bad to be able to do that with one foot strapped in! The board rides very fast. Fastest board I have ridden. The board itself is beautiful. Very subtle X graphics that make a statement and this thing gets noticed and people respect this board. Sadly though, in just 4 hours riding I had about 4 chips in the topsheet. That was pretty disappointing, but then again the hill was very busy and perhaps I got bumped into in line to the chairlift. Not much you can do about that. My Ride has the same chips on it too. Oh well. Overall, this board lives up to the hype and then some. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!
