Where did the Uninc go? Well what ever is left in the Uninc's shape and riding style now lives in the Easy Livin.  The boys from the Uninc team were booted from Burton but started YES snowboards and now have the most popular new company out there.  This is a cambered version of its rocker sibling the Easy Livin Flying V.  Some people will never love rocker so this is a decent cambered alternative. Just talk to the crusty old guy who tunes the boards at your local shop and 70% of the time they will talk about how much they hate rocker.  The easy Livin isn't as forgiving as the rocker version but makes for a lot more spring in the board.  Now the choice over camber vs. Flying V-Rocker is a tough one.  You will have more stability with Camber and it will do better on the big 40ft+ kickers. It will also be better in the pipe.  The camber will also have better Ollie power but the flying v is getting closer to camber these days.  The Flying V will be a lot more forgiving and easier to do tricks.  It will also do a great job on smaller jumps (40ft or less) and might help you pull of some off landings you couldn't with Camber.  In a lot of ways the V-Rocker could be considered excellent when it comes to jumps but it just doesn't have the go big feeling that the camber does.  The easy Livin is made for the small and light rider so if you are big for your weight look somewhere else.

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.

Turn on. Tune in. Tweak out.

Park lines, cliff lines, pillow lines, jib lines, rhythm lines, switch lines, and straight lines. For Danny, nothing’s out of bounds. His latest creation, the NEW Easy Livin™, is like a park board on ‘roids—a mini shred menace that’s equally equipped for hauling ass off 100-footers. All-wheel-drive edge tech, an ultra-stabilizing directional shape, and the endless adjustability of the Channel combine in a stick that’s 100% devoted to the art of having fun
