Hi Matt, I am looking at a few different boards. Custom X, Totally FKN Awesome, BSOD, the Jones Mtn Twin, and the Jones Flagship. I ride mostly groomers but also like to ride powder, next to no park, but I do enjoy hitting backcountry kickers and don't want to be limited by board shape/design. Also, I am a bigger guy(6', 215lbs) with a size 12 boot so a wider waist option would be nice. Which board would be best for me?!

@z115663 . I have size 12 boots and weigh around 220lbs and I have been riding the FKN now for a few weeks and let me tell its great. The Custom X is a sweet board and great for just about anything..The one thing i like better about the FKN and the Jones Boards is that they have a rocker/camber/rocker profile shape, which will help in the pow. Out of those three i would go with the Jones Flagship, that is if you get to ride a lot of pow, otherwise the FKN is really totally awesome.

hey matt i am looking to buy a new burton board and cant figure out which one to get...money is not a issue with myself and i was looking at the burton mystery and this board. I tend to ride the park/backcountry more than anything else . I do ride some black diamonds but i tend to stick to the more advanced blues. which board do you think would better suit me.

@robmusslie Get the Custom X I heard there where a few problems with the mystery.

Hey matt I just had a quick question, I had a 09 custom x love the board and it is time for a new one my only question or concern is if the 2012 version has stainless steal edges like my old 2009? It is not in any descriptions, and not advertised on the burton web sight to have SS edges like it use to. If you could say whether it dos or dos not would be a great help to me!!!

-Thanks

@HiserBros Yes the New Burton Custom X has stainless steal edges.

Maybe the custom. I love the shit out of that board I ride it super fast and big no problem. Vapor is a bit stiffer, but also more expensive. Also Shaun White's board is stiffer, but .... meh it got really fugly design.

@robmusslie

Be aware tho this is insanely stiff, and you cant really joke around with it on small jumps. I actually find easy living the best powder and park board, and works great in at high speeds, now the custom is a bit more stable at high speeds and large jumps tho.

[wow0yunnies]

I am looking for a camber directional snowboard that's also stiff. Custom X is out of my price range, would you recommend me similar snowboard that's a little bit cheaper please?

thanks
