Burton or Gnu?

Question

I want a new snowboard & can't decide between the gnu DK dirty habits w/MTX or the Burton Custom ics. I want a park board that can also shred the entire mountain. I am intrigued by the gnu board's MTX technology. However, everyone says burtons technology is 2 years ahead of everyone elses. Whats the truth?

I want a board great for booters and pipe, but I also want to be able to throw down on some rails too. Does the MTX work well on rails?

Answer 1

GNU!!!!

Answer 2

Burton all the way!!!!!!

Answer 3

im riding last years burton costom board and it handles pretty well all around. I shred park and rails as much as back country powder. Its a well balanced board thats actualy pretty light. And i have last years model so the 08 is probably better.

I would go with burton, its a good quality company that you can reliy on. check this link for some other good boards.

Answer 4

Dude id go with the custom. Its a sick deck. The GNU is good, but the burton custom is sick sick sick>I am getting a rome next season and im getting rid of my custom u want it>?

Answer 5

If you are wanting a Gnu, I would check out the riders choice.  My personal favorite board out there.  

The Burton Custom is my second favorite.  The ICS system is really good.  

Burton isn't really "the best snowboard company ever."  Its a good company, and makes a solid product, but companies like Gnu are just as good.
