Burton Jussi Snowboard Review

220599000156_1_700x980

$549
Advanced to Expert All Mountain

Camber Directional Shape
Discontinued as of 2011
Been around for a while and not a bad all mountain board if you are Jussi's size.  It use to be more difficult to get from edge to edge but the channel technology helps the board remain almost as stiff but easier to turn.

How It Rides
Groomers Excellent Speed Good
Flex Medium Rails/
Jibbing
Average
Powder Average Weight Light
Carving
Excellent Pipe Good
Turn Initiation
Moderate Edge Hold Good Switch Good
Jumps Excellent

The Good Ride Take


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.


Company Information

JUSSI

Mini shred to mega shred.

 

When building a deck for a dude who’s ripping everything from AK spines to urban zones and contest booters, it’s got to be more than just all-mountain. Upgrading his signature stick with the Scoop for catch-free take-offs and easier landings, Jussi also softened the flex to make the entire board more buoyant and fun from pow to jibs. The Channel lets Jussi easily adapt his stance to whatever terrain he’s tackling.
