The Good Ride TakeThe 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. Company InformationBurton Troop 2010Built with our most time-honored ingredients, the Troop™ is a freestyle master built to shred the entire mountain. Whether learning tricks or charging cliffs, this year’s gentler flex boosts confidence by creating a board that’s more floaty and fun when buttering, jibbing, and landing. For as playful and relaxed as the Troop feels, it grips like it’s got all-wheel drive thanks to the added control of Pressure Distribution Edges.Troop rides well with: Stiletto bindings and Emerald boots Core

Speedy & poppy - your "next step up" board!

The only reason I took a star off this board is because it's my first since hiring and I don't have much to compare it to! But I have to say I loved it - my riding improved dramatically after buying and it was only my second trip. This board is a beauty to turn - all my friends said it would be harder to turn after a short hire board (my Troop's a 151 and I'm 5'3") - but I had no trouble at all, it glided like it was on rails. A self-wax helped x a million - don't rely on the factory wax - and it was flexy enough that I could hold it nice and flat on the gentler runs. Got the fab oppurtunity to test its powder capability too - the directional nose and the lightness of the board helps you to surf beautifully through powder. Upping my speed was way easy and the board is so poppy - it's a good laugh bouncing off the fluffier moguls, but a bit crazy on harder-packed snow, so bend your knees and hold on tight!!!! This board is great for if you want to up your game as it's exciting yet mainly forgiving to ride, and was fantastic even at my lowish level (just made a Level 2 rider!). Buy it!!
