Burton Custom X Snowboard

One Word: DOMINATION
This is the "One Board to Rule them All." The Burton Custom X is the sickest board on the mountain. I used to ride a Burton 7 and upgraded to a Custom X and what a difference it made. It's lighter, turns much more easily (even on crud) and is super responsive. Trust me, you won't be dissapointed if you buy this board.

Nice!
I just bought this board, and rode it yesterday @ Keystone Colorado. I am extremely impressed. I thought I may have spent a bit too much on my setup (CustomXwide /w Burton Triads) but I soon learned otherwise. This board is extremely smooth and transfers from its edges with ease. I am thoroughly amazed at the amount of effortless control associated with this board at high speeds. This board also picks up speed farely quickly, leaving your buddies in the dust. Very light, very appealing. Received several comments from lift operators saying how bad ass my board is (I got the baby blue Triad's to match the baby blue on the 168). Highly recommend this board!

love it
this is my second board, used to ride a k2 luna 151. got the custom x 156 this year and love it. it is stiffer than the luna of course, but not by as much as i expected. nevertheless, it rode great, edges held well on the icy slopes that i often encounter where i live. more stable at high speeds. for gals contemplating this over the feelgood es, i recommend it, especially if you're tall like me. it is definitely not too wide, it actually fits my size 8 boots (and the escapade bindings i got to go with this board) very nicely.

Best board ive ridden
The custom x is by far the lightest board i've ever ridden. I cant get over how responsive it is. It holds its edge on everything including sheer ice. There is virtually no chatter. I would recommend this board to any advanced rider who likes to fly down the steeps and weave in and out of human obstacles. Also the board is so light and snappy you can really pop off jumps. Overall great board. If you can afford the steep sticker price then this is the board for you.

Incredible PoP
WoW. I must say WoW. I rode this and the burton Vapor, and to be honest, the Vapor didnt impress me that much. The Custom X is a bit stiffer than burtons custom, but its well worth it. The pop on the board is amazing..it slings you out of the pipe like an animal. You can use this board for free ride as well, but if your gonna do rails, you have to know what you are doing.. overall, the board is great.

Awesome upgrade
I have ridden a Custom for 5 years and find the Custom X a very worthy upgrade. Even though my old stick is still holding up well, the new board is lightning fast with the new WFO base and has a great feel when carving. Haven't tried it in the pipe yet.

wouldnt buy if i was you
5th day out i destroy this board. I decked out in the super pipe at breck. im not talkin like core shot or stuff like that im saying the board ripped a huge chunk out, almost is in 2 peices. i figure this is not normal i send it to burton to get the warrenty on it but they wont warrenty it. they wont do anything for me. so if you buy this board dont deck out in a super, it will explode, or at least thats my experience.
