Riding Style: Old School

So I warranited my Capita “Photo Phetish” 160 and decided to try something different, and I like the degenerate graphics of the 80 Playboy stars. Ok so its a true twin like the capita and a mid-wide. The first thing I must say is as soon as you go with a burton 3 bolt board you are way more limited to your stance width options which just plain sucks. I Tried two stances on it maxed out- and front binding one back. Maxed out was rediculously wide like stupid wide and one back was a bit, further back than I usually like but better. This board is extremely soft it has a decent sidecut but not a lot of pop or edge control in and out of your turns I find it carves sloppy. It has a bit of pop to it under foot ollieing but it doesn’t make up for the boards biggest problem which is IT IS FUCKING HEAVY! Really heavy. Riding this board compared to my Capita is like night and day it feels like a giant brick under foot and it fucks up my riding. I will go back to riding my old rock board now because what is the point of getting used to riding a 1990s weight board??. I refuse to spent another day on it no matter how good it looks.

My advise is stay away from this tank and ride somthing with some better core material unless you want it for your wall. Not feelin the Love.

Board Model and Year: custom

Board Size: 158

Age: 38

Riding Style: freeride

I am 38 years old, and have been riding for 8 years. I started my illustrious career on a burton custom 158. After two years, I bought and rode a burton omen 163 (gr8 board for pow). After two years on that, I switched to, and have been getting my freak on with a custom X 160 (gr8 responsive board). I had mounted burton P1 HD bindings (they don’t call them that anymore, but they were p1’s with carbon fiber highbacks). I rode Salomon F24 boots. Altogether, this was a super stiff set up, which translated into vigorous carving at high speeds. Lots of fun. however, this year I got back into bumps and trees and wanted a much softer set up. I have returned to the custom 158 with burton triad bindings, and a more forgiving Salomon F22 boot. Let me tell ya… If bumps and trees are your thing, the custom 158 is the one. I never cease to be amazed by the sheer number of customs I see on the mountain, any mountain, year after year. After years off that board, I now have enough riding experience to understand why.

Board Model: T6

Board Size: 156

Age: 36

Riding Style: Freeride

I bought a 2007/2008 T6 156 as a beginner-teetering-on-intermediate all-mountain freerider. And I couldn’t have been happier. First things first. This is NOT a freestyle park board. You try to go on a rail or box, you will split your head open like a coconut. The sintered WFO base is blazing fast. I’ve been able to charge down whole runs and even slalom them. When you hunker down and ride it properly, there is no chatter. The pressure distribution edges work great. PDE is Burton’s version of Magne-traction. Great edge to edge responsiveness. I have yet to set my bindings back and take it in to powder (well we really haven’t had much pow days here). I am not a freestyler but I have hit some jumps. T6 has amazing pop.

2007 Burton Vapor 157

In my opinion, the standard issue deck graphics are uugly they get a “2” although for another buck fiddy you can get custom graphics. The board itself gets a “10” handsdown this puppy has power steering. It has upped my game and I fell in love with it instantly. It’s like an extension of your body, you dont ride it, it rides you, like you almost forget its there! It turns everything into butta’ rich creamery butta’ hand-churned by Amish bitches in the Black Forest of Pennsylvania, then waxed by hobbitts, Old world craftsmanship baby!
