Burton custom vs burton custom flying v

                   


Ah im so excited to be goin to keystone for a week leaving of the 18th, getting in my last days before the season is over.


There is actually a huge difference between the two. To start, the Custom is cambered, where the Custom Flying V has Flying V which means that it has camber underneath the bindings, rocker between the bindings and rocker in the tip and the tail. The regular cambered custom will feel alot more stiff (but more responsive too) while the custom flying v will feel much more playful. When it comes down to it, without going crazy with the details, the Custom is really your board for your advanced aggressive guy who really wants to carve hard, hit big booters and is really just looking for performance. In my opinion, flyin v brings it down a level. Don't get me wrong, it is still an advanced board, but it's not as demanding of a board. Honestly, it sounds like you'd be better off on something a little softer based on the types of things you like to do in the park. Generally you don't want something stiff like that if your focus is hitting boxes and rails. Luckily, everything's on sale right now so you can totally get an appropriate board for even less than that.

Rear entry bindings


GNU and Flow have created a new type of binging that eliminates you having to unstrap and restrap every time you want to get in and out of you bindings.  With these rear entry bindings all you have to do is step in.  The tension that you put on the straps when you slide you foot into them will pull the high back up.  And same for getting out pull you foot back and the high back will lower for a quick and easy way to get out of your bindings.  I think that these bindings will do great and should make it very easy to get in and out.  They are even supposed to give you extra control through turns while keeping you foot nice and tight in the bindings.  This is the first model of these so you might want to wait a year or two before you buy these bindings to let them get all of the glitches.  I think that these bindings will have great potential in the coming years.

Any questions email me.
Thanks

Burton infinite ride

I think that burtons infinite ride program is a great idea.  Its always the worst when you are all siked to get a new board and when you get up on the mountain it is stiff and not what you expected.  The burton infinite ride uses a machine that breakes the board in before you even buy it.  This deletes that first day feel and makes it feel the same on the first day as it will on the 100th day.  The burton custom is just one of the few boards that has the infinite ride on it.  This is a more high up addition, but if you can afford that board that has it on it i would deffenetly check it out.  If you are one of those people who WANT to break their own board in then stay away from this.  If you are looking to buy the board, throw some bindings on it and go hit the mountain then I would try to find a board with infinite ride on it.

If you have any questions leave it in the comments and i will try to write on it the next day.
Thanks for reading

Forum double dog vs chillydog with pop

Hey guys this is my first post and just trying to get the hang of it so bear with me please.  I'm just gonna talk about the difference between the forum double dog and their chili dog with pop.  Whenever I google this i can never find the right answer.  There is a review on the double dog then there is a review on the chili dog but never comparing the two.

The double dog is a great board, I think at least.  Its the best of both worlds with the fun playful rocker feel between the bindings, BUT with the nice edge that gives you pop and great control.  The camber under the bindings give you more pop and better control.  And the rocker that gives you that playful feel between the bindings and between the bindings and tail and nose.  This gives you great float on groomed or even if you are going to take it out back into power.  It evens is a great park board, i would have to say that forum double dog is a great all mountain boards.

Forum Chillydog with pop... I would have to say another great all mountain board but a little bit more forgiving and playful.  It is featuring a continuous rocker that has added pop outside of the bindings for that little extra pop that you might need when hitting up the park.  The continuous rocker keeps you floating more than riding in the snow.  It keeps your edges up and helps keep you from catching an edge.  It is going to be a great beginner board with little to no edge catch and the rocker is going to make it easier to turn.  The extra pop will let you keep this board from the day you start out from just making it easier to turn, to seasons after where you are thriving of the park and just jibbing all over the place. 

All round both great boards. I hope that i was able to clear up something for y'all between the differences.
