Is the burton custom ics a good snowboard?

Question

im gettin a snowboard 2morrow and im tryin 2 decide between the burton custom and the burton custom ics. i know both boards r amazin, ive just heard sum ppl say the Infinite Channel System isnt tht good. tht sumtimes it falls out. is this true or is the ics actually a better board and the channel system is a lot better than the normal s***w on ones?

Answer 1

I just got a custom ics with the est bindings and they are amazin.  They have so much more feel and the cushion on the bottom is great.  The custom is a good board but if you can get a great board with the future of binding set ups on it i would do that.  The ICS is from the future and in about 10 years will take over all bindings

Answer 2

I don't really care for the ICS.  If you're set on a custom I would skip  on the ICS.  But, look into other boards.  Definitely go Burton though.  No questions asked.

Answer 3

I haven't personally ridden an ics board, but I have heard good things.  I have some friends who are really good who have ridden it, and they say that it is more responsive than traditional bindings.  

I am generally weary of new things until they are proven for a couple years.  

I haven't heard of them falling out on the ics system, but I know that on the old forum rail systems, the bindings would sometimes shift on a big impact.  But they are different systems.  

Don't "go with Burton definately," that guy is a dumbass.  There are lots of good brands.  Shop around all the brands.  

The Custom is a great board though.  I love it.
