2009 BURTON X8 SNOWBOARD REVIEW

Extra-terrestrial park perfection.

With Tadashi Fuse at the X8's controls, this future-shocked phenomenon rewrites the rules of what a park board should ride like. Twin-tipped and buttery with all the premium tech, the X8™ unites skate-style fun with the speed, precision, and weight-savings expected of our highest-end decks. The Living Color graphics transform as temps drop, while the Channel opens your mind to unlimited stance possibilities.

lol um triads in the park ????? why would you do something like that... not to much flex there... sorry they are good bindings but to be honost id go with something from k2 the autos are sick with the harshmellow it takes out alot of vibration in your ride and takes away impact on big landings saved my knees alot matched up with some K2 T1's also with harshmellow and intuition liners makes for the comfiest most cushoned ride i got bad knees and the response is also amazing you should check it

[PortersLars]

do your homework first... the Triad is one of Burtons most cushioned bindings and many guys ride them in the park.. any binding can be ridden anywhere there are no real Park classification its more the flex level and responsiveness that determines what the binding might be best suited for . K2 Bindings are equally as good and harshmellow does help.

so just a rip off of the skate banana

[PortersLars]

the 2009 isn't a reverse camber board nor does it have mtx so where is the rip off?

What size boots do you have and do you get any toe drag? I wear a size 12, do you think my toes will drag at all on this board?

[PortersLars]

you need to look at waist widths... anything over 249mm will work with a large binding however a size 12 boot will get toe drag until you get into 255mm and higher unless you have some really good stance angles.

@Nuge2008 Thanks for you help! I got the board with the cartels. Just bought some EST cartels. For 100$! BRAND NEW! And thanks for your help @PortersLars for helping me finding the right size boot for my board and my binding!

[proctor03]

wow this guys a goof

[Olaipai]

@Nuge2008 U got a good buy, but if I had to buy the set new, i would have to give 2000$ and I live in norway! All ski's and snowboards are so expensiver here!?!? And norway is a ski country??

[Nuge2008]

you might hate me but i just bought one for $300 :) glad you're likin it. Can't wait to get mine and start rippin when i get back to Co.

[Olaipai]

@Nuge2008 I bought the board: I saw the board 1 smal schratch thats it.

Largebindings on the board fited perfect. Ai tried it out its a beast board. Recommend it :) BUT VERY EXPENSIVE :S

[Nuge2008]

I honestly don't know that much about lib tech boards but i do know that the 09 X8's with cartels for 450 it's a pretty good offer money wise. (That's assuming that everything's brand new.) And to be honest, I've had 2 different boards in the past 5 season's (aside from my first crappy K-mart board) and anytime you buy the board based off it's graphics instead of tech. you'll be sorry later on. Also, might wanna be careful with 154 and large bindings. Honestly, see if he'll let you test em out.

[vampir3blood]

holly shit! changing base color! plus tadashi fuse is the shit! ... whats the background son anyone know??

[Olaipai]

I got a offer of my friend i can either buy this Burton X8 09 board of him with the cartel binding for 450$ Or i can buy the Lib Tech TRS BTX (154) with the triad binding for 450$. What is the best offer.

I like park and freestyle alot. But i think the X8 got boring graphics. But on the x8 u got the new EST bindings.

The lib got way cooler graphics but got the old schoole attachment. And the triad got better cushing than the cartel. Both of the boards is 154 and large bindings. Best offer?
