Burton Board Amazing Snowboard Review

Beginner to Intermediate Freestyle to All Mountain
Continuous Rocker Twin Shape

Rocker is one of the best inventions for beginners.  We like to see that rocker trickled down to the beginner level of snowboarding and into the Board Amazing.  If you want a really forgiving catch free ride to start out with then here is a good choice at a low price.  If you know you are going to try the park more than the mountain this is a good choice.  The Board Amazing will not help you much when it comes to learning all mountain fundamentals like a cambered or hybrid camber shape will but it will get you down the mountain or help you through the park wtih a lessor chance of injury.  The Extruded base is not the best but it is perfect for beginners because it doesn't need to be waxed much and is rather sturdy.  If you are committed to becoming a good snowboarder and going to get many days in then you might want to buy something better.

The Good Ride Take


The Good Ride Take on Continuous Rocker
This is where it all started or re-started in the Mid 2000’s. In the beginning Continuous Rocker was mainly for park and powder. Today it's still pretty much made for the same 2 functions. There are a few boards that are made for all mountain to freeride use but most of those have migrated to hybrid shapes.  Continuous Rocker helps you maintain a catch free forgiving ride which is excellent for beginner riders or those who ride at slower playful speeds through the park.  Almost every one we have tried has to be on edge or it will wander giving you that squirrely feeling like a skateboard with loose trucks.  The biggest issue is it isn't very stable flat basing or one footing in firmer snow.  Continuous rocker is for the most part really poppy and helps you generate your own air.  There are many styles of this shape so this could be a good choice for beginners, park rats and people who only ride powder.

The Good Ride Take on Burton
Burton is huge. They have developed or acquired most of the technology that we use today. Burton is one of the only companies that can provide you with everything you need to snowboard from boards to beanies.  Burton even owns arguably the best surfboard company Channel Islands because Jake likes to surf.  They are like the Yankees of snowboarding because they can always outspend their competition to win.

The positives- Burton provides more products for each gear/clothing/accessory category than any other company.  Burton has possibly the best customer service in the snowboarding industry.  Burton continuously spends more money than almost any company to develop new tech or just make what they have better.   Burton sponsors more pro’s and get’s more high level user feed back than any other company.  They have some of the best boots, bindings and boards in the industry.  They also have great clothing.

The Negatives- Because Burton spends so much money on sponsorship and tech they have to pass this cost along to the products they sell.   They relentlessly continue to jack up the prices every year.  You are almost always going to get a good product from Burton’s higher end line but some mid to low level products don’t stack up to the competition in the same price range.  Burton always tries to make proprietary tech like the channel tech and 3 hole binding tech so you can only ride Burton Gear which sucks! We wish they wouldn’t act like the Microsoft of snowboarding.

The bottom line is Burton is the 800lb patriarch of our industry that makes good stuff and backs it up with good customer service.  The snowboarding world owes soo much to them but at the same time they can be very frustrating when it comes to price and proprietary technology.

BOARD AMAZING

You may hate it now, but wait until you sell it.

“When we first started throwing around the idea of building a board with the utmost of amazement, it was simply referred to as the ‘board amazing’—chaotically, this working name came to really define the product, and over time, well, we hastily introduced the board to the marketplace with the same namesake,” recalls Cliff Ta’flat, the senior most member of the Worldwide Naming Coordination Federation. And so it was the Board Amazing.
