Is this the best Burton Custom ever made?
Call it Mustache, M, or Double Camber, it doesn't matter as long as you know it's the new BIG THING. Burton calls it Flying V and for the 2011 boards they brought the technology to a tons of models. The Burton Custom is similar in stiffness to it's predecessors, mid-stiff/stiff, and it got one of our best reviews of the year.

Hey what's your thoughts about the Burton Custom Restricted? I hear it's a lot like the flying V but it has "camber humps" which i'm told gives more control at higher speeds while still keeping the playfulness like the flying V.

I'm in the market for a hybrid board quiver killer. The LibTech Attack Banana sounds too good to be true and I've heard great things about NeverSummer's ProtoCT as well.

Any suggestions on the three? I am so stoked to +1up a new board this year.

@IGotsTheDank Gotta say that we never rode the Restricted version. It looks like that "Camber Humps" is a response to the V having a distinct pivot point if you're to light.

But we did ride the Attack Banana and the Proto CT in all conditions. SEE OUR REVIEWS. Both fall in the All-Mtn/Freestyle category. Despite the Vario side-cut vs. Magne-traction, different internal constructions, and bunch of other things, the real difference is going to be the handling. Message us and we'll explain.

was this one better(camber version) or the rome headline? l have some icy condition but mainly groomers

[BoardInsiders]

@kelkeljai We never rode the camber version of the Custom, and I personally haven't ridden it in over 5 years so I would assume it's changed since then.

The Rome Headline on the other hand is a solid board. It's in a different price range so it's a little hard to compare. I will say the Headline is so predictable that one of our cameramen made it his goto ride. It just turns exactly when and where you expect it, and it holds an edge riding switch on an icy face while trying to get the shot.

the dark series is way better than burton any lin or gnu is better

[virn1987]

@BoardInsiders Any thoughts on the 2011 Lib Tech Dark Series C2BTX?? I was torn between that and the Custom V. Ended up getting the Dark Series.
