09-10 Burton Custom Review

I agree with everything positive that people have said about the 2009 Custom, EXCEPT . . .
I agree with everything positive that people have said about the 2009 Custom, except that the board is just not going to hold up for more than a season. After 5 days on the mountain, the top sheet is delaminating at the nose due to standing on a lift line. Yes, I watched it happen as someone shifted their ski back into the nose of my board.
How many times have I been out on my Never Summer over 5 years, and while it has it's fair share of lift line scrapes, the top sheet has never just been pulled off like that.
Never buying another Burton board again. Nice to ride, just too expensive to keep buying each season.

09-10 Burton The B Review

The movie is not so bad…but comparing to last year's "It's allways snowing somewhere", this "B Movie" one is a child play.
Poor focus on Burton riders. There are a lot of Burton riders that could have focus on this movie but they were left out.
I honestly don't understand how 2009 was an excellent winter with a lot of conditions to make a more interesting content movie like we've seen in Neverland, and Burton didn't take advantage of that.
It was a disappointment, almost the same disappointment when I saw the design of the boards for 2009/2010.
Burton Learn To Ride Super Clinic | Days 17 and 18 of 30 Days on the Road
52 years ago
Burton invited me out to Keystone for a couple of days to learn a bit more about their Learn To Ride (LTR) program. The two-day “Super Clinic” was a chance to dig deeper into the LTR program, and get a behind-the-scenes look at where Burton is going with it. During the two-day event a bunch of on-snow and indoor clinics, with topics including new technology, tuning, learning progressions, Go Snowboarding, Get Lifted, and the Burton Academy at Northstar At Tahoe.

09-10 Burton Power Stretch Liner Review

in Gloves & Mittens
Great glove for any time you need dexterous fingers – for example: teaching, taking photos, or pickpocketing.
The Power Stretch Liner Glove isn’t the one glove to rule them all, but is a great under glove for riders who need their hands free. I primarily picked them up for photography, with the intention to wear a thin glove or mitt over them.
The gloves are actually a thin fleece shell, and as such are not waterproof; they are however pretty warm on their own.
The palm is called the Sticky Icky Grip Palm, and it is super sticky, giving you a good grip on whatever it is your holding.
