Burton X8V - 2010

Summary:

Space age freestyle weaponry twinned up for kicker and pipe snowboarders who want a ridiculously responsive and poppy snowboard with the added fun and press-ability of the V-Rocker. For the last few seasons the X8 has been difficult to get hold of out of Japan, this year it’s available worldwide.

Manufacturer's Description:

Jedi-crafted light saber. We’ve all had them. Dreams where you’re hitting the perfect jump. Time slows down as you leave the lip, you keep spinning, drop the shoulder, spin some more, and always stomp it. Until we develop a way to guarantee these dreams every night, we offer the X8™. Lighter, faster, and more capable than ever before, this year it goes one step further with the superhuman control, press-ability, and pop of V-Rocker™.
