Poster: A snowHead
|
Been spanking it furiously over the 2010 range. S rockers, V rockers, power rods, winged highbacks, newcastle brown lable styled jumpers, one piece suits that look like a separate jacket and trousers. Spank spank spank
2010 Custom, Custom V (V rockered. slightly less flex than a normal custom)
2010 Jussi, Operator
2010 hero, Joystick
2010 X8
2010 Dominant, conDOM, blunt
2010 Jeremy Jones, Fix, Twin
2010 Easy Living, Love (the love has a write on base )
2010 7even, Hate
New winged highbacks, supposed to hold you in better for jibbing.
The one on the right surely has to be my next boot

I saw on the X games some guys on the new custom. Its depressing when you find out how long your board has been out before you got it and the new one is already in production
Looking forward to spanking that custom in feb, supposed to have some new rod system in the core to get more power to the edges, we shall see.

I'm debating on buying this years Jussi or holdout till the 2010 model. Do you what other sizes they are offering and if there is anything new besides the graphics?

not too bothered about the new graphics on the custom. I just hope Burton have stopped making the edges from cheese, everybody else uses metal.... The edges on my 07 Custom were "proper blunt" after 4 days in pow, my old Rossi still has sharp edges even after riding Glencoe....

Burton marketing blurb wrote: |
A three-point rocker with a Burton twist, V-Rocker creates a center rocker point between you feet, with additional rockers toward the nose and tail for insane foot control, press-ability, and pop. V-rocker offers a ride unlike anything you’ve tried before. |
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, both Lib Tech and Bataleon should feel distinctly flattened about now

Just splashed out on two Burton '09s, so unlikely to get my feet on any 2010's next year (maybe the year after... )
FWIW, now riding a Supermodel 168 and an Operator 161.
Supermodel is very nice for the one thing I bought it for (hooning it in powder). Otherwise, it's tiring on the piste, taper is annoying switch and it's not stiff enough to be a piste-carving monster. Fortunately, the taper isn't significant enough to spoil the ride in powder, just enough to make keeping the nose up easier (although it's hardly difficult on a 168).
Only had the Operator 2 days, but it is lush. Great pop for all those wee mucking about moves, carves well, light, not much not to like about it! (Except having Shaun White's name on it, but can't have everything I guess - could fix that with some magic marker...)
