Burton Deuce 2010

By: Andrew T

Board Model and Year: Burton Deuce 2010

Board Size: 156

Age: 15

Riding Style: Park

So i bought this board brand new because it was cheap… bad move i know its not a park board but neither was my 2008 morrow… i eventually had to go back to my old backup board just cause the Burton couldn’t handle much action… within the first few weeks i was riding again, i broke the tail, and it wasn’t because of SEVERE under-rotation, somehow i landed in a tail press doing front flips (which aren’t a problem for me) and now i have this lovely line of missing plastic (or whatever the 1st layer is made of) and butter bumps… also my board has edges that compress in when ever i catch on something, now i have three random bumps of wax on the bottom and edges that are compressed in and are un-useable now im stuck with an old board and my friend is having similar problems with a Burton park specific board ……… Thank you burton for letting me down.

Riding Style: powder/ park

Im looking into buying a burton custom x 2010 model so its not the newest model but was just wondering whether it was a traditional camber board like the 2011 model, i tried the 2011 skate banana and 2011 custom v rocker but im now looking into the 2010 custom x for the camber boards instead of these camber rockers which i didnt enjoy riding as much. feedback would be appreciated!

Not had a chance to get on the mountain (Czech at xmas) but on the indoor at Hamel Hampstead it was amazing. It flows and carves like you were born with it on your feet. The flying V makes it so easy to ride. Cant wait to hit the powder,

Burton Clash 2006

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”… However Burton wont even consider looking at it. They seem to not care about if they can make a board last, just that it last the warrantee. Luckily for the them we had a terrible season and I couldnt go out. But for anyone else thinking about getting this board or even Burton, I d think otherwise.

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 and abilities. I’m also a big fan of the design – intricate yet understated.
Cons: Doesn’t float very well in powder. I found myself sinking even when going fast and leaning back on the board. The stiffness of the board makes it difficult on un-groomed terrain and riding through the glades. I’m also not a fan of the binding layout, the holes were designed for Burton bindings and don’t give a lot of flexibility in binding positioning.
Final thoughts: I used this Board in Jackson Hole and Smuggler’s Notch (VT). Really this board is made for the East Coast. It’s got an excellent edge and it’s fast making it ideal on groomed runs and those unfortunate icey days that riders in the Northeast know all too well. West coast riders will notice its shortcomings a lot more, particularly on powder days, glades, and above the tree-line riding. East Coasters – don’t hesitate, Custom X is the way to go. West Coasters – you might be disappointed.

Burton Snowboards

Burton Deuce – 2010

The 2010 Burton Deuce is the one of the best value snowboards this season, selling for less than $400. Light on Price, and Heavy on Features, the Burton Deuce provides superior edge hold, great pop and solid strength.

The Deuce features Burton’s own Super Fly core and Sintered base which allow the board to perform well in virtually any mountain condition. Burton recommends pairing the Deuce with their Custom bindings and Moto boots, which complements the Deuces performance and value. The graphics on the Deuce are pretty flat, but that’s typical with most of Burton’s boards; your money is going into board technology, not the graphics, and that’s a good thing.

Additional Deuce features include:

  • Twin Shape and Flex
  • Biax React Fiberglass
  • Grip and Rip Tune Edges
  • Slanwall Sidewalls
  • Pro Tip
