2010 BURTON OPERATOR SNOWBOARD REVIEW

OPERATOR
A. A. B. Up. Down. Left. Right... Cab 10 tail grab.

From sending pow sprays to climbing bulletproof pipe walls and negotiating jibs to kickers in rapid-fire succession—Shaun White relies on one board. With a playful feel anyone can appreciate, its ramped up with the added pop of a Carbon I-Beam™ and samurai-precise Pressure Distribution Edges. Now upgraded with the Channel for limitless adjustability with any Burton binding.

hey i need some help.

ive been riding a crappy m3 board for two years and im thinking of upgrading.

im looking at the burton 09 operator but idk if its right 4 me.

i do everything, jumps, rails, bowls, etc.

and im looking for a good all around board for everything, lightweight, lots of pop, but also good for black diamonds,

im an experienced rider and i was wondering if this board is right for me or can u suggest something?

im around a $300 dollar budget.

PLZ HELP!!!

@deadnremain WIth the EST bindings it's amazing. If your running the EST setup you won't notice it except for the fact it will pop more and where you face the board it will go. It's not forgiving but with the EST bindings it feels smooth as hell.

[deadnremain]

@JustAnotherDisguise Hey maybe it's because you "duck" more your feet than me (I'm 15 and -15 degrees on my bindings.) because the 156 waist width seems to be 246mm and this sounds hella small for me so I'm pretty sure I'll go for the 157wide.

Just one last question about the feel/softness/stiffness or however it's called, my 2009 board was had a feel of 4/10, which I like, but I see online that some people say the 2010 is kind of a stiff board... I'm pretty sure it'll be perfect but confuses me

[deadnremain]

As for the wide or non-wide choice, I'm just scared that my heels or toes will touch the snow in sharp turns, I'll try and find the waist width of the 156 non-wide (maybe you can tell me) and see if it's wide enough compared to my old board ( 254mm and it was peeerfect) and the 157wide (256mm, so I'm guessing 2mm more won't change anything really will it ?).

Thanks a lot, appreciate your help, kinda low on money and changing board was sadly really not planned ! (RIP, she was so good to me <3)

@JustAnotherDisguise Hey thanks for the fast reply. I like my board short too since I mostly do park (the 2009operator I just broke was the 154W, which some guys at the park even considered too small for my height, that's why I thought of going with the 157wide).

Since you tested both, is there a reallly noticable difference between the 156 and the 158 ?



[JustAnotherDisguise]

@deadnremain Hey, I'm 6'1 175 and 11.5 foot size. This year I still ride the Operator, I ride a slightly smaller size because I mainly park and I did not go with the wide. If you are all-mountain I'd just go with the 158 regular. Surprisingly I had the chance to ride both and I could tell you I had no problems with the 156 and went with it. So just pick it based on what you want to do, either the 156 and up regular will fit 11.5!

[deadnremain]

@JustAnotherDisguise Hey man, can you have a look at the message I posted on this video ?

I ask to you specifically because you say 156non-wide is perfect.

My feet are 11, maybe 11,5. I used to ride the 2009 operator 154wide but broke it and am thinking of going on the 2010 157wide (I'm 185cm and 71 kgs, so that's like 6 feet and 156.5 pounds) don't you think the 157wide would be better ? (i'm scared the 156non-wide won't be wide enough but you have the same feet so I'm confused)

Thanks !

[deadnremain]

Hey there helpful person that will answer me !

I just broke my 2009 operator 154wide. loved it and I'm extremely pissed I f**cked it up.

So I thought of going with the 2010 157wide. I ride all mountain, mostly freestyle though. Anyways the 2009 was just perfect. Should I go with the 2010 or is there a lot of differences ?

(I'm 185cm and 71 kgs, so that's like 6 feet and 156.5 pounds, my feet are 11, so should I go with the 157wide ?)

Thank you !
