After weeks of testing and months of loading content to the site, we’ve reached a momentous day on Snowboard Review! We’re 30 boards shy of the 400 mark and we’ve got a fairly large share of Burtons 09/10 range live for you to check out. Tom tested all of the Burton boards so I can’t speak from my personal experiences, but he thinks this years range has some real standout rides, in fact the Easy Livin’ was Tom’s favourite board on the test! Tom wasn’t disappointed with the new Channel binding system either giving it two thumbs up for its infinite stance options and the elimination of longitudinal board flex deadspots under the bindings.
Big changes to the range include the addition of the Method which now assumes the Vapors position as the lightest board in the range (and probably on the market) thanks to Carbon Vaporlite S2 skin, Titanium edges and Alumafly core . The Danny Davis’ Pro board hits stores in the form of the Easy Livin’, Shaun White has dropped his pro model and is now riding the Operator, the Custom has been rockered with the V-Rocker (the general sentiment on the test was that it’s killer) and the Jussi 159 has gone all twin. Other new additions to the range include the Guru, a freeride deck for intermediate riders, the Hero Ltd a rockered Hero under the banner of the Coalition project and the X8V, a rockered version of the notoriously hard to find X8.
