Burton Clash 2006
By Donald Board Model and Year: Burton Clash 2006 Board Size: 154 Age: 24 Riding Style: Free Style I bought this board at the end of a season. The following season I used it once, and the year after I used it three times. This is with sticking to trails, not doing jumps rails or anything. The board is mint, however the board pealed apart and the inner core is all split. Took it to a few shops, and all said “definitely a faulty board”…... [Read More...]
Never Summer Circuit R
By Scott Board Model and Year: never summer circuit R Board Size: 155 Age: 24 Riding Style: anything and everything I just picked up this board a couple of days ago and I must say that I am not disseminated. I’ve never road a board that was as fun as this. It presses so easily that you might as well be playing a video game. The new vario power grip edge is great because you can pretty much round you edges and still hold the wall in the pipe.... [Read More...]
GNU Carbo Credit 2010
By: Robert Board Model and Year: GNU Carbon Credit 2010 Board Size: 153 Age: 50 Riding Style: All Mountain I recently trashed my old snowboard on a weekend ski trip. On the way home I shopped for a new board. As an intermediate rider, the sales staff at one shop suggested the gnu carbon credit board. I was unsure about the magne traction and the reverse camber, but it seemed to make sense so I purchased the board. Well, it only took me two runs... [Read More...]
2009 Libtech Skate Banana 156
by Paul Board Model and Year: 2009 Skate Banana Board Size: 156 Age: 15 Riding Style: EVERYTHING the banana is a really fun smooth riding board. i got it last season and got my first setup stolen because i didnt lock it up. SO GET SKI CHECK. but this board softness is amazing, but the pop is still great to still allow you to do the 30ft. kickers and tables. all around mountain shredder and recommended by almost everyone who rides one.

Rome Agent 1985 2010
by: wallace Board Model and Year: agent 1985 2010 Board Size: 157 Age: 33 Riding Style: old school slow spinning tweaker ok to be fair i’ve only had the board 2 days, and haven’t had any pow to try it in yet, but there aren’t any reviews of this board on the net yet and someone needs to spread the word. If you’ve seen avatar, then it’s a bit like when they plug their pony tails into the animals. This board is your sex... [Read More...]
2010 Ride Concept TMS
Board Model and Year: 2010 Ride Concept TMS Board Size: 159 Age: 51 Riding Style: Free Ride I have not posted a review before, but this board is worth talking about. Previously rode Burton Royale for 5 years (size 11 foot); fine, basic board. After much research went with the Ride Concept TMS – the difference is truly amazing. The board has a ton of pop and is INCREDIBLY RESPONSIVE. The sales rep said it will make you a better snowboarder,... [Read More...]
Gnu B Nice BTX
By Andrea Board Model and Year: Gnu B Nice BTX 2010 Board Size: 145 Age: 30 Riding Style: freestyle I bought the GNU B Nice BTX 2010 freestyle board in August of 2009 for my snowboarding session in Chile. The 2010 boards had just arrived in the local shop so I bought it. Wow, this board is incredible. My trip consisted of 7 nine hour days in a row on the snow. We had the slopes all to ourselves. You would not see another rider on the mountain for... [Read More...]
Ride Machete – 2010
The new 2010 Ride Machete snowboard was voted Snowboarder Magazine’s number one in the Men’s Best of Test category, and given its incredible all mountain performance, we’d have to agree. The Ride Machete comes loaded with Ride’s innovative board technology, including LowRize rocker sidecut which minimizes hook while maintaining great pop. As with most Ride’s 2010 boards, the Machete features 85A Slimewalls which are... [Read More...]
Atomic Alibi 2009
By: Elliot Board Model and Year: Atomic Alibi 2009 Board Size: 156 Age: 25 Riding Style: All mountain Pros – Nice flex and pop to the board. Floats a lot better in powder than I expected, especially since it’s not a wide board. Pretty fast for a board in this price range, and it handles excellently (probably the best handling board I’ve ridden – if the terrain is good, see cons below). Cons – the edge, it kind of sucks....

Burton Custom X 2008
By: Elliot Board Model and Year: Burton Custom X 2008 Board Size: 155 Age: 25 Riding Style: All Mountain Pros: Very good, fast base. One of the faster boards out there and it eats up groomed terrain. The edge is solid and holds very well (though I haven’t tested it on icey conditions – I live in the northeast – so I can’t confirm just how good the edge is). Very stiff board which is a pro or con depending on your riding style... [Read More...]
