Which Burton Freestyle board would be best for the money????

Question

I am really looking at boards but i need other peoples opinions on this. I want a nice board and something that will hold its value. I really want a burton because i rode my friends custom X it was nice. Help me out please???

Answer 1

It really depends on what you mean by "freestyle". For park and rails the Twin is really nice, and affordable. All-Mountain Freestyle, definately get a Vapor (if you have the money) mine is great and well worth the 1k price tag. For the pipe, definately the T6 (again $). Bottom line is find a board that suits YOUR riding style.

Custom X is really good too. But I'd suggest that you wait till next year and get the ICS versions of any of these boards because it's a really good design for getting your perfect stance.

Answer 2

Well the Burton Custom i guess you cant go wrong with. I personally never have riden it but im thinking of the custom or the Custom X. But if you want a stictly park board then id suggest the X8 or even the Elite. The Elite isn't that expensive and it can handle great in the park and isnt horrible in powder. it has a Flex of 5 so thats pretty flexy. should be pretty good in the park. Its hard to tell you waht board is right for you. its pretty much preference. But if you go to www.burton.com and go to there board section and just hover over there boards with your mouse it will show you the boards stats on it. Try that and see what one you like best and was boards stats match your riding style. But all burton boards are petty nice.

Answer 3

I would say the Burton board that is the best value for money is the Burton Blunt which is great value for the price. But its a Park/jib board and it sounds like you are after an all mountain freestyle board as you like the Custom X. If a Custom X is too pricey for you try the Custom or the Air. Good luck with the riding.
